you mentioned a gp100 so I am suggesting that since thats what I already use. I have a 2" CCW cia650 .357 but when we take a trip I bring his older brother(6" ruger gp100 .357 magnum). the ccw stays in my pocket or the center console(usually my pocket), and the gp100 goes snug as a bug in its leather holster from www.simplyrugged.com in the glovebox(man I luv that holster)! very good point mentioned earlier about leaving weapon in car. I wouldn't recommend it due to weather, condensation, etc, etc and longterm for other reasons is a mistake too. now if its one night at a hotel leave it in there or bring it in//your choice. longterm not a good idea, some might even disagree with my one or two nights bit but like when we visit our parents I'll have my ccw but dont see the need to bring the ruger in as an example. I have stainless steel revolvers but I store the rifle, revolvers, and shotgun in good areas of the home no matter whether its winter or summer. the littlest issue I get is a very small amount of fabric buildup on my ccw from being in my pocket all the time. last interesting point but off subject but been on my mind: we got pulled over the other day. we were out of the car tending to the babies when the cop finally pulled up. we were chatting and talking and everything was fine+stayed that way throughout but maybe he saw my ccw. I seriously doubt it, but after talking about work and maybe seeing the nra he eventually asked if I was carrying now. I obviously told him the truth, and when questioned I informed that in virginia I didn't know I was required to reveal I was ccw. I even gave him my site of choice which he was familiar with: www.handgunlaw.us // he explained the state law I guess where its required. I have decided to just tell any officer regardless for now on. this guy was cool but I don't need a ticket for no reason someday
