DIY Concealed Car Mount Project: 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:

Cool idea! I hope it works for you!

What was wrong with the magnet setup?

 

[doc540]

Nothing wrong with it, really.

Just wanted to try another setup with unquestioned retention in an accident.

Things are so close and tight in the footwell, it wasn't really going anywhere anyway, and chances were slim to none that it would knock itself off safety and completely cycle the trigger.

This way it's secure, strapped,and snapped.

Good job, looks nice. I don't think it would fly in Florida (has to be in some kind of zippered case or enclosure), but it's a lot less likely to fly around in a crash than the magnet idea.

Not true about Florida - the weapon simply has to be 'securely encased' as the original poster has done. If the holster he mounted did not have the thumb strap, it would not be securely encased. Securely encased doesn't mean hidden.
