I've seen the gun vault-type devices. I think they bolt into the vehicle floor or where ever. Seems like a secure system if the weapon is left in a vehicle.

If I don't have to disarm much, whatever full sized gun I'm carrying in a Hume IWB.

If I have to disarm frequently, a Model 36 in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster.

When I disarm, I put the gun in my glovebox before I leave for my destination so that nobody at my destination sees me leave a gun unattended.

The wilderness Safepacker Holster's check out their web site, I use mine always, in & out of the car.PS never ever leave any weapon locked up in your car or truck un-attended, you are asking for stolen trouble, I read some horror stories about this on other forums.

I have both a car and a truck that has a center console, and find that it is the perfect place to carry a "car" gun. I use a rigid holster, either leather or kydex, and affix it to the inside of the console with velcro. The gun is always accessible, and I don't have to worry about it getting tossed around as the vehicle bounces through pot-holes. I normally carry the same gun as my CCW that I have in my vehicle, so it's pretty easy to pull it out of the console and put it in my carry holster when I get to where I'm going. I guess I could use the same holster, but I don't want to try to put on a holster while I'm in my vehicle.

With my Barami Hip-Grip (post is above), you can wear the gun in and out of the truck and I guarantee you won't lose it. Many times I sit at home at night, watching the late news, and finally realize I still am wearing my Smith 442 or 640-1.
