Hello everyone. I'm a Corrections Officer with my CCW. I'm interested in everyone's ideas on types of car mounts and mounting areas in the truck to have my weapon readily available. Thanks for your help.

Here we go again.....the best place for your pistol is on your body. This way if you ever get separated from your truck, for whatever reason...the least likely is an ejection....you still have your pistol. But I guess that's the difference with law enforcement and corrections....corrections guys are used to having their firearm locked up while on duty.Hello everyone.

I disagree, it's not leather and it's missing the extra mag pouches...Only thing better then this is holding it in your hand..

Well when I'm traveling for 3 or more hours in the truck, I rather be comfortable. I'm on the heavier side and sitting puts extra pressure on my side and weapon. On a side note, are you a ham radio operator?Here we go again.....the best place for your pistol is on your body.

It's a European Man bag and off-body carry. ;-) The lower trim vehicles do have some advantages since you can flip up the center console to give more room on the right side if you are right handed. I get that waist carry can be painfully uncomfortable for larger folks like us. If you are able to reach your ankle fairly easily, an ankle or calf holster provides on-body carry but the draw is not as quick as waist carry. All carry modes have pluses and minuses. Just need to select the best mode for the situation and always practice, practice, practice with a dummy gun for all the modes you might use.Off body carry sucks. I've had more than one case of people shot and killed while trying to get to their off body carry, as in the situations you typically need a pistol quickly you're under observation and unexplained movements get you shot. On person carry still sucks if you're seated, but at least if you get removed from your vehicle you still have it, if you're under direct observation reaching to unclip your seat belt is expected movement, and if you don't have an opening just yet you're still not known to be armed. Additionally, unless you believe yourself to be infallible, more gun handling in an enclosed space where it's difficult to avoid flagging yourself also occasionally leads to new holes in the body you wanted to avoid.
If you need to be comfortable, put it in your purse. If you want to give yourself the best odds of prevailing in the very unlikely event you need it, nut up and carry it on your person.
