FNG here, i recently picked up a SR9C and the next friday amazon delivered my holster, which i promptly strapped on and hanvent left the house without since. ive had pretty much no reactions or interactions to the firearm, probably sue to the fact that its an IWB setup and only the butt and rear of the slide show out of my waistband.
ANYWAYS. I had a question on how everyone is storing their firearms in locations they cant carry at. I work at a Fed/Mil installation and thus cant carry as its fed land. as i have (like im sure many of you do) and extensive commute in and out, and usually run errands everywhere i dont feel comfortable leaving my pistol at home. So i have been unholstering, remove mag and chambered round, and then storing holstered piece in locked glovebox (hatchback so no trunk and a tiny center console). I take the magazine with me, as i would prefer a thief to not have a loaded firearm (9mm is common enough, but still) if they were to break into my vehicle. I realize this is very unlikely, but i am curious as to what solutions you all have come up with.
Not necessarily a OC question, but i was wondering what you all loaded in your SD mags, my Grandfather (dunbar truck driver) always recomended JHP/SD rounds for the first 1/4 or 1/3 of a magazine and then the heaviest most penetrative round you can get. Since after the first few shot if the attacker is still up they have likely taken cover or have some sort of armor on and you will need as much punch as possible Any thoughts on that?
tl;dr
Curious how people store their arms when leaving in vehicle, what rounds to do you load fo SD mags.
Thanks!
