When I was 17 someone attempted to carjack me, or just kill me, I dont know. I saw him walking down the sidewalk towards my truck in my rearview and for some reason I put it in first gear because something just felt off. He walked up on passenger side and said "whats up dog" and immediately drew a pistol and started firing. Luckily my window was only 3-4" down and he was an idiot who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Being 17 I didn't have a pistol so I just tore out of there like a bat outta hell. Because of this I keep my pistol in my iwb holster, wedged between driver and center seat at all times. You're correct we're not in Baghdad, but man, it can happen anywhere and at any time. I will say, however, that even now and with a pistol next to me I would've been toast if he could aim, there was no time at all.

As a police officer my favorite way to carry in a vehicle was a small frame revolver in an ankle holster. Once seated for my trip I always pulled my pant leg up just over the gun. Extremely quick with little movement. My revolver was on the inside of my left leg and easy to access with my right hand.. maybe old school but when I was getting hired the semi autos where just becoming popular with law enforcement. I was even able to unholster it keep it close to my body and slide it up inside my jacket and under my left armpit as someone approached my vehicle without the firearm being noticed. I used this method one time and my partner didn’t even notice me do it as a very disturbed individual ran up to our auto.

@kendallfleming58582 жыл бұрын
Carrying a striker-fired pistol with a short trigger pull and no manual safety doesn’t make you dumb. Often, when people have a misfire or accidental towards themselves you’ll often learn it’s negligence. Many, when they draw may flag themselves, have a sloppy draw, or don’t practice their draw often. Striker-fired pistols just don’t go off and don’t have a history of doing so within the past 15 years, especially. A short trigger pull? That’s because someone dropped those triggers in there, striker’s don’t come with short trigger pulls by default and usually are a 2.5-3 second trigger pull with at least 3-6 pds of pressure required. The reason why there isn’t a manual safety is because it’s designed to allow you to draw with snagging your clothes or holster when conceal carrying. The safety is often in two places within a striker-fired. 1. Inside often by or around the striker and 2. In the trigger itself. There simply isn’t a lot of cases of people shootings themselves or others accidentally with strikers.

@@longshot7590 The fastest draw is the one you practice. Noticing is the job of the observer, you can play it as cool as you want but reaching across your abdomen under a garment is more pronounced than moving your hand up from it's natural resting position and drawing from the waist. For example, my hand is in my lap or I'm standing with my dominant hand about where the pocket is, then I use the thumb to raise the cover garment and the other fingers to pull the sidearm up. It's a smoother, fluid motion. The difference in the time it takes to reload from a shoulder holster as opposed to a weak-side magazine holster or from the pocket (when staged properly) is negligible. Drawing a magazine from a shoulder holster could in fact be slower if it had a retention strap that you have to unbutton. A shoulder holster might have an advantage in an automobile but outside of that specific scenario, well there's a reason I didn't purchase another one.

If you are carrying appendix while wearing a seatbelt, you underestimate the intestinal damage that will occur if you are involved in an accident. Your chances of an accident are much higher than your need to deploy your weapon. Look for an alternative that will work for you while you are mobile. Stay safe.

That is correct, there is such a risk. But the point of the video is not which position is safer in an accident. The point is to compare all the existing options in an external threat scenario. In case of a bad accident, your gun in the bag will fly out and can hit on the head not only you, but also your children in the back seat. And so can your coffee mug or any other heavy object in the car. As for the reaction to an external attacker, a draw from an appendix position, IMHO, is still faster than from a bag in the passenger seat.

I installed a holster mounted inside the vehicle. I simply take my firearm off of my body, slide it into the holster mounted in the vehicle and then put it back on when I arrive where I'm going. Wouldn't work for everyone, but it works amazingly well for me. So my setup is similar to his last setup, but hidden much better and more secure.

Learn how to use a rivet gun (takes 2 mins) and buy some self adhesive velcro and some black fabric. You can make a very easy to access transmission tunnel holster which is covered so anyone walking past cant see it. I also advocate spare magazines in your door bins and velcro a couple to your trunk lid or just inside the trunk. Again cover with black fabric secured with velcro. Remember you might have to get to this stuff upside down... another good reason to secure stuff with velcro. Also pay attention to knee airbags as these can dislodge firearms stored anywhere under the steering area.

As a wrong-handed individual, I find a subcompact in a holster of my front left pocket with an Ulticlip is fast, safe, and convenient. The seat belt is not in the way and the door typically gives more room for draw than a center console would for rightys. If I exit the vehicle, I shift to appendix carry without removing the firearm from the holster.

Even on bumpy roads I have never had it jump off the magnet and I have never hit it with my leg. In my car it puts it right above my right knee and in some roomier cars you can actually mount it on the steering column. You also can stick the pistol to it vertically or horizontally.

So all you have to do is get in, remove your pistol from your body, clip it into the mounted holster which allows very fast access.

When I get in my Jeep, I fold/tuck the outer shirt behind my 4 o'clock carry for my SIG, and I'm good to go. I also have another nine under the seat in an unzipped pouch that gives me quick access and it's never come out accidentally. I have an extra mag for both handguns with me. I check my weapons often for cleanliness as well, and will carry a third mag for each on occasion when I'm going to a potential problem area. If I sense a weird situation unfolding, I'll draw my SIG and keep it near the door but below the window in my hand and will lower my window if I am concerned enough, which has happened before.

Just my two cents as an attorney, nothing else. If you are not carrying your gun in your body, but anywhere inside the vehicle, in case of an accident where you have to leave your car in a hurry for whatever reason, your gun will be left unattended and possible left for grabs. I don’t recommend to take your gun from whatever place you usually position it (console center, glove compartment, under the seat or whatever else you put while driving) and then step out of your car with a gun in your hand. Tactical considerations are super important, but legal considerations are equally or even more important. My humble recommendation, carry your gun in your body and learn how to deploy it safely while seated inside your car either as a driver or passenger. No offense or disrespect to anyone.

Thanks, Mike. I always consider what could happen in an accident when carying in my car. In my SUV, everything in back is tied down in case we roll over, I don’t want my fubar bashing me and my kids in the head and I certainly don’t want my gun flying around with one in the chamber. For that reason, my pistol comes out from IWB and into the center console, clipped to s heavy strap I made. Every car is different, so I think the only solution is to go custom. In the event of a crash or roll over, the center console lid will keep my firearm from coming out of the holster. With this setup, I have staged access, as does my passenger if needed. I make the compromise of having to put it back in my waistband while inside the car, but that works for me. In other vehicles I have my backpack on the passenger seat staged just like you showed, only mine is holstered.

My favorite vehicle carry method is attaching my pistol to strong magnets beneath the steering wheel. I use two magnets for a more secure attachment to the steering column and I have a trigger cover that is tied off to the steering column with a lanyard, which pulls the trigger cover off of the pistol as I pull the pistol away from the magnetic mount. This provides quick and unobstructed access to the pistol regardless of seatbelts, clothing, etc. It also complies with open carry requirements if you do not have a CCW permit, technically. Check with your particular state laws regarding this.
