How do you carry your handgun while in a car?

[09hemi]

I have not been able to find a holster that is comfortable to wear while in the car so I was wondering where do you guys have your hand gun while driving your cars? If its in a holster what kind and what position?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, me again. I just put it either in the console in the middle or the slot on the door and quit trying to find some funky way to keep it on my person while driving. It's easy to get to and you can reholster it when/before you get out.

Usually in the center console......depends on the jeans I'm wearing and how tight they are since I carry IWB..

Quit crying... thanks.

But to be useful, I leave it in the exact same position I do when walking... I adjust the belt.

I have carried in a variety of ways. Cross draw, shoulder holster and pancake as well as in my console(didn't like that at all.)

In the end I got comfortable with it and found different angles for the pancake holster to work best.

Usually in the center console, then reholster IWB before getting out.

In the same holster in the same position (about 4 o'clock) as any other time. Guess I've gotten used to it, though the hard plastic part of the seatbelt is getting torn up a bit from the Kydex holster.

I prefer not to take it off and put it back on, unless I really need to. Less of a chance for ND.

usually in the console unless its a short trip then I just deal with it.

i mostly put my handgun in the center console or between the seat and console

Ok center console I think well be my best bet until I get a crossbreed supertuck or something in subcompact

find a good holster that is comfortable while sitting. I usually move my Galco or Raven to about 4 O'Clock when driving to clear the seatbelt.

I carry a Kel-Tec P11 so it's small enough to stay IWB when I am driving without any problems.

I do NOT unholster my weapon when getting into or out of the car.

Way too many chances for an ND while handling the weapon.

I either remove the entire holster/firearm together and put it in the console or I "tough it out".

It's amazing at how much more comfortable it is to drive with a pistol holstered IWB since I've lost 55lbs.

Good for you. I'm still chubby and I gotta put it in the console.

it mostly boils down to what you prefer. if you want to risk a ND by pulling your weapon out of its holster, be my guest and put it somewhere. it you want to pull your whole assembly off your belt, thats prolly better.

I remember someone posting an under the steering wheel holster that was also an IWB holster... you just pulled it off the strap and put it on your belt... I can't find it though.

mercop had a pretty good suggestion here but it would depend on what you're carrying.

I use a IWB carry holster. If you open carry I always thought that the Blackhawk quick disconnect system would be ideal for switching from holster on your hip to mounted in the car and back.

Here is a video of how it works:

I carry my 1911 in a Galco Royal Guard inside the waist band @ about 4 o'clock. Very comfortable, my wallet bothers me more than the gun while driving. That said if your right handed a Galco ankle glove with a S&W airwhgt can't be beat, unless you drive a stick shift, then you have to toss it in neutral before you draw it. If you lift your left leg to your hand it is easy money in the car seated.
