Vehicle Carry, my solution

[jfed85]

I just traded into a new Glock 19. I just sold one like a month ago, but quickly learned nobody should be without a Glock 19. So anyways, the guy gave me a small of back holster, which I cannot stand to wear. After a little thinking and a little work I came up with a use.

drive carefully or you will have what they call "Glock knee"

Looks like a good way to crush your knee if you're every in a wreck

Meh. It's smarter and better to just keep the dern thing in your holster, hooked to your belt.

How's the retention on that? Say, during a rear-end collision?

I see lots of folks with similar ideas: under the dash, between the seats, or on the console. Not my cup of tea. I prefer to NOT unholster getting in/out of the car. But, to each their own.

Looks like it'll work! I prefer mine on me so if I have to exit the vehicle in a hurry....I can't 'accidently' leave it behind!

Looks clean and easy to get to. Just an idea though, but wouldn't it be safer to someone mount it to the ceiling or something? Maybe not as easy to draw, but it would be out of the way

What's wrong with leaving it in the holster on your belt? This is a recipie for not having your gun accessible when you need it. Or it anchors you to the driver's seat while you decide the situation requires a pistol. Your options become moving and leaving it behind, or handling it and introducing it in to a situation where its not needed, escalating it beyond where it might have gone.

So it can fall on you in an accident? Or you can waive it around in the windows every time you get in to and out of the car?

Everyone knows better it wouldn't be ingo without it
nice work!! I've done similar things before but left those guns in the vehicle. Are you left handed?

 

[Who Dares Wins]

If you get pulled over it might cause some alarm. Kudos for having it close by though!

I prefer to just keep a second in the vehicle, and leave my carry gun in its holster on my belt. Actually, here recently I have been running around with two truck guns. One for personal protection, the other intended for varmint duty. Have had a rash of chickens and turkeys turn up missing, and the local coyote population has been lingering around more lately. 38 Spl is OK for <10 yards and two legged critters, but for those longer shots, I prefer to send the lead express, and keep the Model 66 under the seat for those times.

We are taking a trip to KY next week and I will carry on my belt and a separate carry with a DeSantis Kingston car seat holster. I've thought of doing the mount you did on the side of the center console also using a separate gun. I use a Gum Creek rig in the Ford Explorer.

Just be careful reholstering.

Thanks, always like to see fresh ideas.

Not to burst your bubble, but I tend to lean towards just keeping it in the holster. I've gotten used to it being there by now. Nice rig though.

I just leave mine in the holster, but I can see where it may be good to have it off the body. For me, every time I get in, the seatbelt blocks access to my gun.

Would be good to have when you can't take your gun to work or you have to make a stop at kill zones like a school or courthouse.
