How I mounted a holster in my center console....

That's a pretty cool idea! I dig the simplicity and the diversity of the holster as it can be mounted/used practically anywhere. I can totally see myself using this in my molle backpacks and camelbacks. Thanks for sharing and adding to this thread !

 

No problem. Maxipedtion makes some great stuff. Mine holster system worked like a champ in my X all the way up to the night I traded it in on my Taco.

 

Wish I'd seen this over the weekend. Looks like a better mount than what I use. I've got an Uncle Mike's kydex holster mounted directly to the console by my leg. Which works quite well, but I like the look and stability of this one a bit more.

I like having it outside the center console at arm's reach...when seconds count and all that. Some dude comes up to your window wanting to ruin your day, it's easy enough to grab your piece and stick it in his face without much extra movement.

 

I'd like to see a picture of your setup if possible.

 

Slow work day, so I figured I'd walk on out to the parking garage and snap a couple. Here you go. The screws are through the paddle, which is only connected to the holster at one area, so there's a bit of flex when inserting and removing the firearm. I think there's a way to make it more stable, but it's firmly attached to the console nonetheless, and draws smoothly. I made sure to position it in such a way that it is further forward than the closest position I'm likely to adjust my seat, but back enough so I can sit comfortably with legs apart. It ends up just about perfect arm's length away.

(Pistol is an HK USP Compact .40 Variant 1)

 

Thanks for the pictures and description. Trying to get ideas.

 

I agree on having it within arm's reach. I like both worlds, I think I'll combine them and use the maxipedition (velcro) on that same location so I don't have to drill any holes

 

Good call on the Velcro idea. I'll have to put little plugs in the holes when I sell it.

IF I ever sell it.

 

Be carful with that set up someone will break your window to steal it I know two people that that has happened to one rifle across back window and one pistol that was in the door stolen

 

Oh, I never leave it in the car unless I absolutely have to. I conceal carry everywhere except work, and work is in a secured area...the truck holster is just more tactically advantageous than having it wedged into my 4:00. Plus it's way more comfy.

 

Awesome ya you should be fine then just didn't want anything being stolen can't trust people these days haha

 

Where are the left handed mounting options...lol
I guess its time to be ambidextrous

 

Don't know if you've researched this or not, but concealed carry permits are pretty easy to get in so dak. What part are you moving to?

 

How come you didn't mount it do the left side of the console? seem like it would be awkward to contort your arm past the console lid and twist it onto the firearm in the event that you had to deploy it quickly.

 

Drivers door pocket maybe?

 

I was thinking an under the dash option since we have a traditional hand brake...and I already want to be ducking. Ha!

 

Wow. What's going to happen if you get pulled over for a traffic stop? This is a serious question. I honestly want to know how you expect that would go down.

 

Like it, I have a H&K P30 .40, had it mounted in my Tundra with a serpa and it was perfect now I have to figure the best route for my new TRD!

 

TEXAS Jan 1st went to Open Carry, I have an CCL and can do both now but I still CC, don't want to give the asshats here any advanced warning, just BANG BANG then I yell FREEZE!

 

If you have a license, not much.
