Handgun mount to drivers seat

[AnthonyD1978]

Finally got around to fabbing this up. Priorities for me:

1. A secured mount that will stay in place in the event of an accident or rough trails.
2. Quick access for my dedicated truck gun. While keeping some level of concealment from passerby’s.
3. Works with my Safari Land QLS mount/holster from my gun belt. This holster has manual retention that must be defeated to draw the gun.

Previously I kept this gun in a another kydex holster in my center console.

Nice set up .

2. Quick access for my dedicated truck gun.

Being canadian, i found having a dedicated truck gun the most hilarious statement. I'm pro gun - the differences in attitude towards firearms between countries made this pretty funny.

Do you have a a gun you leave in your house? That’s your dedicated house gun

I guess i should be asking for a list of other places i need dedicated guns for - i seem to be unaware of these requirements

Looks good! is it easy to remove the entire holster from this mount to put on your belt?

We have our favorites for different places........that being said, many acquaintances have weapons within arms reach no matter where they are in their homes.

Anywhere the baddies are. Easy.

I’m guessing this isn’t “concealed” enough for CCW states. It certainly isn’t locked away enough from misuse (if someone gets to your unlocked gun and does bad stuff, you may be held liable in CA). Less worried about that and more worried about valet, car wash or young curious son exploring our truck.

not judging, all good. You’d need to be cocked & locked for one handed use, which means drawing potentially across a major artery in left leg—be careful of inter limb sympathetic squeeze. I know you are military and likely dry fire/practiced drawing a million times. It’s the cool kids on the internet that copy what they see that need adult supervision...

My house, my truck, my belt. That should cover all your bases. Basically wherever you have a fire extinguisher and the gun on your belt will cover the rest.

I would keep a cop in my pocket, but my town only has 2 cops.

Yes, the holster unclips easily and then clips on to my belt I use for OWB drills. The holster will clip on to anything that has the holster mount attached. It's called the QLS mount and it's from Safari Land.

No, would not be considered concealed. Fine in states where open carry is legal like it is here (and fairly common).

There is some level of owner responsibility and knowing your environment. Would I leave my gun mounted like this if parking in Phoenix or another big city? No, I would put in in the center console.

If you draw straight up you won't muzzle your legs or body.

Nice setup. Thanks for sharing.

I’m working on something like this using safari land or Blade tech mounts and a Phlster floodlight TLR1.

I was going to use the desert does it mount for Ram, but I’m too short (the seat is up too far)

I had difficulty finding a way to mount it under the seat. It would have been easy to mount something using the seat bracket that bolts to the floor, but I wanted the gun to move with the seat so it was always in the same location relative to me. Under the seat bottom had too many electronics, etc. I ended up pulling the seat cushion up in the front, which was easy to do, to then find good surface area for my gun mount.

Looks like a good solution, for sure.

Failing to have a good solution in place thus far, I just keep the weapon on my person for now. Or, for a long drive, I might remove the holster with the weapon retained and store it in a door pocket or something but that limits access.

You could always use a magnet.....

Not that's funny!!

 

[Nado]

Great idea. However, for trucks that have a center console with a map pocket, you can use a JM4 tactical holster. They are magnetic, and its the easiest, way to use as an EDC carry and double as a truck mount.

What's funny Anthony? Not trying to start a contest....but I used it in my 4th gen 1500 and my current 2500. Nice to just slide it around the lip of the map pocket in my truck or my wife's vehicle. Then can use it to carry when out of my rig. No drilling, etc... LMK if you want a pic.

Duh, every room in the house, each vehicle, body.

Make sure you stash extra loaded mags like Easter eggs. Just don't forget where they are.

Here's my "office" gun. No holster needed.
