A complete joke. The application went in the trash, but I saved my non- refundable $300 roll of the dice.

I saw it in a c6. Just throwing it out there lol

I have my little LCP in a wallet holster either in the center console or tucked between seat and console, if I'm carrying.

I used to attach my holster on the gap between my steering wheel and the plastic in my Monte, haven't tried in this car yet, normally it's tucked under my left thigh (luckily I hang a little to the right), and when I was pulled over the other day it was in my glovebox. XDM40.

I just lay mine in the cup holder. Easy access.

If you want to have it on your person, get a cross draw holster.

I always have mine in a leather IWB holster (so I can wear it when I leave the car), and tuck it between the passenger seat and center console. I'm tall and with my longer arms its much more accessible there than between the drivers seat and console.

Having it in the glove box... might as well put it in the trunk.

Also, I keep a reload magazine in the drivers door pocket.

I carry my Kel-Tec P3AT either Mexican carry, IWB in the small of my back, or if I'll be driving for a while, I put it in the door pocket.

I was thinking the door, but I haven't checked to see if mine would fit. I'll be carrying a Walther PK380.

Some things are better left unsaid

Xdm with factory plastic holster will clip to the trim under the steering wheel.
Or
Xds in same place or in the door perfectly.

I haven't seen much of an option in the 14's. There isn't enough room between the seat and console. The door pocket is not very large or accessible. Since I leased my car I don't want any permanent mods. I was thinking about taking a holster, riveting some Velcro to it and sticking it to the carpet just in front of the driver seat for when I'm driving. If I can't take it somewhere then it's locked in the glove box or trunk. I'll have to do a test and see how well the Velcro would stick to the carpet. If that does not work I'll make a custom clip for my holster and slide it up under the center console or possible under the dash.

Great thread BTW. We had a similar one going on a Subaru board.

Steering column mount is another option. Gum Creek makes one

That we should not talk publicly about CCW.

Anyway, the Velcro idea will not work. However, my Elite holster and clip will attach to the panel just under the steering wheel. It will slide down when you insert the firearm and pull back when you retrieve it but it will NOT pull off because of the lip on the inside of the panel. The holster can also be removed easily if you want.

Now the tough part is my other car....!
