DIY In Car Mount - Revised

[doc540]

ALWAYS START EVERY PROJECT WITH A CLEARED WEAPON W/O MAGAZINE


After trying the magnet mount and an Uncle Mike's RH nylon holster I had laying around, I bought a left hand UM's and mounted my 9mm MilPro this evening.

Total cost: $15 (with supplies on hand)

NOTE: Applies only where legal. And this is NOT a pro/con gun-in-the-car thread, please.

Left hand holster allows retention with the strap and snap. (Eliminates the flying-object-in-collision objection)

Covered with a small hand towel and mounted low behind tinted windows it is concealed.

Hope this helps someone.

Self explanatory, so here are the pictures:

What's up Doc? Good setup. Do you leave that in the car??

Just remember to make sure that if you leave your home state where that might be legal, to make sure it's legal in states through which you travel with your firearm.

That would NOT be legal in Ohio, which requires that a firearm carried loaded in a vehicle be:

in a holster on your body (including a pocket holster)
in a closed glove box or center console
in plain sight in a closed container with some sort of fastener
in a locked container

good setup where legal.

Is that regular cotton or terry cloth?

Is that regular cotton or terry cloth?

It's ultra-rare "fuzzy silk", hand sewn by topless, native, virgins in Bora Bora.

I use it to protect the finish only on my Taurus.

Looking at this post reminds me of a holster I made long ago that sat on top of the sun visor. The only problem then was the weight of the firearms back then would make the visor drop when I hit a bump. With the light plastic autos made now it just might work.
