That's kinda cool. I can imagine a few uses for that although not as suggested on the web page to hide guns all over my house. Would probably work pretty well on the tranmission tunnel in certain vehicles as a "driving holster" too. If it was mounted carefully, good chance it could be removed before resale and that the nap of the carpet would cover the two screw holes.

I was thinking about this thread today while driving, so when I got home I moved the nylon belt w/holster and found out I could wrap it around the cupholder so the holster points at the floor. Pretty cool.

Man lots of options
I have something thought up in my head, I'll get around to rigging something up and post my results in the near future.

Thank you, sir! That's exactly what I was looking for. I think this would mount very nicely in my car near the steering wheel for my baby Glock.

I agree 100%. I'd like think my life and the car is worth more than just a $50 dollar holster! I would also charge the anti-gun guy for the cost of the N.R.A. sticker in the back window. See there is another great selling point!

I've been thinking about getting one of these two to mount one in my truck console.

I'll probably get the first one because you can use almost any holster, and don't have to have a special made one to go with it.

Well, I had a silly idea while I was buckling my milk into the passenger's seat (I drive kinda rough some days).
Attach the/a holster to the seatbelt.
I usually drive by myself, in my big gas-guzzling Jeep, so leaving the seatbelt buckled wouldn't be a problem, either.
It actually worked pretty well. The seatbelt held the milk and my 1911 pretty firmly in place.

There's a cubby on the right side of my steering wheel in my truck. I was thinking of buying a left hand level 1 Blackhawk holster and mounting it there. The cubby is removable so all I'd have to do is drill the holes and screw the holster into place and return it. I am always on the lookout for a replacement cubby and when I find one I'll probably do the mod.

I tried to improvise the magnet thing using hard drive magnets. Bottom line is that the gun has a tendency to jump to the magnet. Not something I particularly like with a loaded, chambered firearm.

Here in Texas the gun cannot be in plain sight. I do keep insurance papers in the glove compartment, and the center console isn't big enough to hide the gun.
My car does not have pushbutton seats, and the lever for forward-rearward adjustment is a bar that spans the entire width of the seat as opposed to just one side. I found that an Uncle Mike's thumb break holster fits comfortably and securely between this bar and the seat, with the clip on the bar. When sitting in the seat, the gun is obscured by my legs, and someone would have to be pretty observant to spot it just barelypeeking out from underneath my drivers seat when I'm not there (and I don't leave the gun in the car if I can avoid it). In addition, because I'd have no legitimate reason to reach in that general direction when pulled over, there's very little chance of being drawn on by a surprised officer who noticed the gun in the glove compartment (the only other feasible way to keep it out of sight but accessible. The only downside is that it's become harder to adjust the seat for the obvious reason.

I have generally found that the best place for a holster in my vehicles is on my hip where it is when I get in and I get out as well.

Honestly, I find that the floorboard of my Cherokee to be a good spot. If I need to put it away, I drop it between the seat and the door.

Here's my sons 2006 Holden Morano (AKA Pontiac GTO) and his inexpensive but very efficient setup, there are more pictures but I haven't figured out how top put them on one post - PM me for additional pix.
ETA: I guess I should have added that this is the frontof the drivers seat and the holster is bolted directly to the seat so it's always in the "same place" wherever the seatis moved to.
