So I recently aquired a new(to me) car and finally got around to installing a holster in it that is both easily accessible, in the open, and will keep the gun from flying around the cabin during driving. Below is what I came up with. The primary mounting point for the fabricated bracket is the left front passenger seat bolt, so everything is completely removeable. The pistol is extremely secure and immediately accessible. I was going to mount the 1911, but I figured a premium German automobile requires a premium German pistol, so the HK USP45 fit the bill nicely.:D

Showoff.

I might have to do something like that.

'cept I'll be using an AMERICAN pistol in an AMERICAN car. :D

1911s and Jeeps, together since 1940.

Sweet! I'd have to find a different method, being a southpaw. But I did see some new mounts good for either car or desk over at Cheaper Than Dirt.

Rev,
I enjoyed seeing your handiwork yesterday. It really looks like an official BMW-approved optional accessory!

It should add to the resale value of your car.... at least in Virginia!

I'd love to make a rig like that for my car, but as you know, my pistol is too big. :cool:

Yes,

Please show us the parts and how you did it. I always wanted to do something similar, but witha serpa I believe.

TJ, the man leaves for the second half of his tour in Afghanistan TOMORROW - he's probably got one or two "other" things that are slightly more important right now.

Just a quick question. What is your alternative if you have a stranger in your front seat? I would be concerned about they having quick access to my gun. If you think you don't have stangers as passengers, well many of us pick up and carry our childrens teenage friends and parents in the car.

Any suggestions? By they way I like your set up but do your bolts protrude in the holster to damage the gun?
