I've been looking for something that will allow me to keep my pistol comfortably close while traveling in the car. Been noodling this idea for a while and didn't see anything that really did what I wanted.
After some recent news stories, and some "in my garage" drawing practice for speed and tactics...keeping it on my hip while in the car just didn't fit my safety goals. I didn't want to stick it under the seat, in the side door, attach it under the steering column. I wanted it to be right by my right hand where I could easily draw, quickly and without telegraphing. A while back I had seen a sticky nylon type pocket carry holster; It didn't have any rigid surfaces on it and the exterior had a ruber type grip that held it in place.
I picked up one today to see if it retained my pistol when wedged between the seat and center console and could hold it tight while traveling. Works like a charm, quick easy draw, stays in place, doesn't scratch up the side of my center console, and keeps it right where I want it.
This one was the Remora concealment holster, low profile no-clip IWB holster, left handed (because it has a sweat guard that comes up a bit higher and helps protect my 1911 from scratches or contact with hard surfaces). While a lot of people have something already that works, I thought I would post this here for anyone still shopping for ideas. It was a very inexpensive fix to my problem. There are probably other brands with the same type of holster that would do the same job, I didn't care about the label (other than made in USA) just the function.
