How do you carry your handgun while in a car?

[aetucker1]

i hate carrying when in my car because my seats are so form fitting...so i bought one of these and love it. fits right under the steering column. well worth the money. Gum Creek Customs - Vehicle Handgun Holster Mount, Steering Wheel Handgun Mount

I carry a S&W 638 on my ankle in a Galco ankle holster when taking a long trip it is easy to transfer to a pocket holster when I stop and it is easy to draw while seated. Carrying a Cw-9 IWB doesn't bother me but it would be slow to get to. I have carried a Ruger GP-100 in the cross draw with a simply rugged holster and felt comfortable with the time it would take to reach it. On long trips I used to just put my pistol in between the passenger seat and the console but realized this probably isn't the best idea.

I can't stand wearing holsters while driving. I'm a fairly big boy and can't find a comfortable one unless I go the ankle route.

My Ram 1500 doesn't have a very good place to keep it. So I keep it in a small case in the door/map holder. Not the most convenient when I need it and need to find an alternative.

Brother-in-law has a Ridgeline. The center console slides apart and he mounted a metal holster inside there, quite the Batmobile setup.

I'm a fairly big boy and I drive a Ram 1500. My Glock 27 hasn't been uncomfortable in a Serpa while driving. I usually just slide it around a little once I get in to find the most comfortable position. I carried a S&W 686 4" in a cheap holster small of my back and could get comfortable...sort of. I hate those pockets on the doors. I usually keep a couple knives in reach and I've got 2 or 3 on the drivers side door pocket and my big hands can be a tight fit while trying to grab something and pull it out of the door pocket.

I was going to comment on it previously but didn't. You are way more likely to be in a car accident than have to use your pistol for self defense, but of course should plan for both. Anything inside a vehicle during a crash become a missile. Your pistol if not on your body could end up anywhere. Yesterday we got a light snow dusting here and I was out with Momma doing some shopping. We fish tailed a bit. My Bag of Evil, all approx 30 lbs of it was behind me in the seat. When we got out at Wally World I found it jammed between the rear of Momma's seat and the rear one. Just a thought.- George

The same way I carry when I am walking or doing other things is the same way I carry when I am in my vehicle. I carry owb or iwb with nice leather holsters.

I've got a little cubby that my little snubbie fits into. It's ready to go, when I park; it goes into my pocket.

Hope that helps.

Same way I carry everywhere else. In a Nemisis in my R F pocket. There is also always one in the console too.

 

[silkpoet]

I carry in a jacket pocket or center console when driving.

 

[mjelder]

Shoulder holsters aren't bad. but consoles, glove box and udner the seat ftw if you don't want it on you for a long trip

 

[abmears]

carry in a car

Mine gets wedged between the seat and center console.

 

[calcot7]

IWB @ 3:30 / Colt Defender .45 in a not sure what brand of holster, but it is comfortable.

 

[Frazier]

I carry a 1911 in a belt slide from Uncle Mike. Goes in there in the AM, comes out at bed time. In fact, I put the barrel in my right hip pocket; keeps it from showing. Just a thought......

 

[Powersn130]

Mine is always out of the holster in between the driver seat an middle console when I'm drivin....just seems to me that it's way easier to draw from there rather than iwb while in ur car

 

[match14]

I got tired of re-holstering, so I just leave my piece in the 4 o'clock position that I normally carry it in. For me, I don't think that it would be much slower than trying to fish it out of the center consol or glove box (depends on vehicle).

 

[dpzj96]

Depends on what I'm carrying. If its my G27, it's on my right side in the 3-4 o'clock position. If it's my Taurus 85, either same position IWB or on my left ankle. I was thinking about bolting up a shotgun rack to the roll bar right above my head in my Jeep when it warms up some.

 

[mandolin3]

Daily carry is an LCP in a Desantis Nemesis holster (front pocket). When in the truck, I typically (sometimes I forget) remove LCP from holster and place on the front passenger seat, just underneath my large daytimer book.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Two words. Paddle Holster. Okay, a few more...The snubbie sp101 .357 is ALWAYS 1:00 IWB then the XDSC.40 goes in the paddle at 3:ish and is WAY easy to mount and dismount for ease of driving/seatbelt use.

 

[snowwalker]

I'm a big guy, but what works for me is a Crossbreed supertuck with a Glock 21 at the 3:00 position or 2:30. Can pull it easily and reholster all while seated. I like Clint Smith:"its a big gun when I put it on and its a big gun when I draw it".

 

[sj kahr k40]

Usually leave it in it's holster at 4 o'clock, sometimes I put it under my left leg

In really rough parts of town I have it in my hand

 

[SheriffMedic95]

I store my gun just to the right of my steering wheel right by my right knee. I took a black hawk holster, removed the backing which leaves you 3 screw holes. I then took off the panel beneath the steering column and drilled 3 tiny holes which allowed me to perfectly mount my gun. It is not visible from the driver's side window and with dark tint, the passengers side cannot see it.
