3 different pistols in 5 trucks over 6 years and I have never had either of those happen.


I drive a Suburban... anything between the seat and console ends up on the floorboard or wedged down under the seat.

Plus, if someone runs up on your window, it's easier to conceal the pistol you're grabbing if it's behind your body (between the seat and console) than it either be if it was under the steering wheel.


I'm not trying to conceal at that point. I can literally have my hand on my pistol and out of the holster within a second. It's actually a nice fluid movement.

My setup:

Is that your own holster with the Gum Creek adaptor or is it their holster & adaptor?

My holster. I bought just the mount and used an extra holster that I already had laying around... Uncle Mike's I think.

Gotcha. I'm trying to decide which pistol to carry in my truck between my Glock 22, Ruger LC9 or XDS 45. I bought the XDS to conceal carry, but I decided not to. I may carry that in my truck since it is the most compact of the 3

Yeah just buy the mount and get a cheaper Uncle Mike's from Academy or something. If you do buy the mount keep in mind that it's kind of a pain in the arse to take the holster on/off. You wouldn't want to do it every time you took the gun out of your vehicle.

I keep that holster in my truck all the time and I have a couple of other holsters I can use if I need to carry.

No clue--I've never felt like I should have a gun in my car. Seems like tremendous liability.

I feel like not having a gun available should I ever need it is a tremendous liability.

The only problem with that is that it can shift or slide down. If you really need to get to it then it's better to know exactly where it will be when you grab for it.


This can be a real issue, as I've had it before. It is easily solved though with the correct holster. I have one now that doesn't slide at all.

I have never needed a gun in my life, but Poors have stolen shite out of my car a good dozen times, and I forget things like cash in cars, so I assume the gun would be no different.

I keep mine in the door panel. I'd love to have that setup under the steering wheel, but I'm worried it would be stolen with it so visible.

I like that Gum Creek set up. That's the way I'm going to go.

A vehicle is not a secure place to store a firearm for an extended period of time.

I slide it right out and open when in the truck.
It has a cable that wraps around the seat post.

Well I'll be getting one of those now. I have mine in my glovebox. Which is where it will need to be when I'm on campus (outside of my car)
