Mounting a holster to a vehicle's console?

[firehawk1]

Thinking about mounting up a holster for my SR9 to the passenger side of the console in my '00 Cherokee. Anyone done this, and does anyone sell a holster made for this?

I've thought about it, but that's all. I would put the holster on your side though. It could be argued (I think - not a lawler) that the passenger was in possesion of the handgun if ever stopped. If that person didn't have a LTCH then they'd be in trouble. Just a thought, don't know how that would work out but seemed worth bringing up.

I've mounted tons of holsters under dashboards. Be sure to check behind it. We had a guy mount a flashlight to his dashboard and drilled through a wire for the airbag...almost took his head off. Also make sure there is a metal back plate to drill into or in the winter a stiff jolt could shatter your dashboard. Something like this would be interesting, ZAA-106 - FAST Magnetic Automobile Holster Super Strong Magnet with Non-marring Coating but you can use any paddle holster, just remove the paddle.

They had these magnets at the 1500 for $20. I was gonna put it in my vehicle too. They seem to be very strong magnets and are rubberized so it wont scratch your gun!

Yup these are the FAST holsters.

I picked up a couple of these magnets. They are very strong but don't seem to harm the finish on my M&P.

You'll want something that'll keep your firearm secure in the event of an accident...

I'm pretty sure that the forces generated by even a sudden 25mph to zero crash would rip a gun away from a magnet.

If your just wanting to hide a gun in plane sight, I used an old McDonalds cup complete with straw to hide my J frame.

Fobus makes an attachment for their Roto system that you can mount.

Thanks, I'll check out their website.

Update: I went to Fobus' website. Their Roto System vehicle mount will work perfectly.

I asked the guy at the 1500 the same thing. They have a vehicle version that includes a velcro strap that you trap under the magnet before you mount it that adds extra retention for a vehicle.

I saw one online somewhere that appeared to be a large pocket holster, and the entire back was velcro, with large velcro to mount to the vehicle, so you could take holster and all out when you exited the vehicle... No good for carry, but better than leaving an emtpy holster where it might be seen...

I mounted the belt holster that came with my XD sc in the center consoleof my Grand Cherokee, facing down, by using a short piece of steel bar to simulate the belt, and fender washer to carry the load in the hidden area between the console insert and the outer surface. It works great, and wonder of wonders, it also fits the wifes 24/7 compact! (I never expected that) The draw isn't too bad. I'm left handed, so I cross draw to my strong hand, while holding the console lid with my right hand. (of course, this all presumes no hands on the wheel ).

Safepacker Concealment Holster:

Check this out from the company that makes the excellent Wilderness instructor belt. Scroll down about a third of the way down and see the way the lady is using this "holster" on her seat belt. Not sure how it would actually work, but it looks pretty good.

I will always have a Fobus roto for EVERY gun I own. They are affordable, they are decent holsters, and they can be configured many different ways.

I get mine from a seller on eBay. Usually save $10 or so. If you are interested, send me a PM. If not, shop around. Fobus can ALWAYS be had cheaper somewhere else.

Or you can drill the rivets on just about any kydex holster and have at least two convenient points to bolt it to any solid surface.
