How and where to carry 1911 in 3rd Gen?

Make sure you put a bunch of gun related stickers on the rear window so people know which truck to break into for a free gun lmao

 

I Carry my colt 911 in a antique case... Next to my ww2 50 cal

 

Both are known to leave stains

 

I hire a team of 16 bodyguards to hold my personal carry items for me while I drive. People think I'm a little extreme for needing a personal platoon whenever I step out for a couple groceries and a burger, but I like to stay prepared.

 

I leave it on the passenger seat, next to the Nixon mask.

 

Is it vintage? Does colt even market the 911 as a 911? Just curious, I'm not a hand gun guy. We shoot shot from a 1/4 mile where we live.

 

Head rests are detachable... Why would anyone want a lock box that could be removed so easily?

 

Looks easily defeatable... No thanks

 

Because if you locked it to the seat then people would think there's a gun in it, duh

I couldnt possibly lace that with enough sarcasm.

Either keep the thing on you or don't. The fuck good is it in a vehicle where it could be stolen and not on your person should you need it. My buddy who's a mechanic comes across more "car pieces" than the average armory personnel runs across in a day, that shouldn't be the case, do better people.

 

Colt does! See attached promotional materials.

 

I have a circa 1943 Remington Rand full size government 45cal 1911 that is either on my lap or laying on the passenger seat next to me when I travel thru the active war zone aka Houston, TX. When I leave the truck it goes with me.

 

I think the general thoughts are this -

1. I'm licensed to carry but some places I need to go - I can not; (post office) so I need a place I can store the weapon while inside doing my business.
2. Carrying OWB/IWB, strong side for the majority of people means between your hip and center console - not the easiest place to draw from should you legitimately need it. We're else can I keep a 1911 while in the vehicle and handy should I need it right now?

Those are 2 legitimate reasons why I can see this question getting asked. As to answers - that kinda has 2 separate ones for each instance. If I'm looking for #1 - I'm thinking a bipometric or some other type of safe locked into the glove box or mounted under the passenger seat. If it's #2 - there's a pile of options obviously. Molle, magnets, simple kydex holster screwed into the door pockets etc.

 

I think people confuse keeping your gun in your truck while you are traveling and just storing your gun in your truck all day while you are at work and shopping. I personally keep mine in a kydex holster I made in my console. However it is never in the truck when I am not.
Some of us do not have body shapes that are conducive to carry in our waist bands while we drive and shoulder holsters are fine when you can cover with a jacket but not real practical in the warmer months.

 

This works for me and i also have a keyed safe under the passenger seat for longer term storage and or more risky environments. When i leave the truck so does the gun in most cases

 

Carry guns are ment to be carried, on your person
