[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1212942, member: 21926"] Presumably, you want this in a ready to use condition. I’m going to ask a serious question here and mean no offense by it Have you practiced vehicle engagements with a handgun, particularly under a training / and or timed condition? Hopefully, not a live engagement for real, but the question stands. I have, and done so more than a few times. These ‘under steering wheel’ mount solutions present a real risk of holing yourself. There is a very limited motion that is deliberate and slow that extricates a handgun from an under steering column mount safely, without covering yourself. Seriously - how long to draw the gun, index it away from your body parts - all of them, keep it indexed away from yourself while implementing rule number 1 and bringing the gun up to a target? It’s not brilliant. If it’s not holstered on your 9/3 o’clock, then you should take a hard look at other options. For a ready to use condition, I’ve seen someone on here who posted a velcro mounted holster on the lower area of the “center console” and that could possibly be replicated on the door if needed. In either of those approximate conditions you can draw, index, guide the muzzle around and over the steering wheel as needed. If you’re under the steering wheel, it’s much easier to put additional holes in yourself. keep in mind, if it’s easily accessible, it’s probably visible and that could present an issue in law enforcement encounters. it also would identify the vehicle as owned by a gun owner, and possibly having a gun inside making it a potential theft target. I’m fortunate that I’ve not needed to engage a target from a vehicle in anything worse than training and match conditions. In probably 40-45 such runs I’ve not holed myself or the vehicle but 2 of the cars used had quite a few indicators of previous users who shot the car. [/QUOTE]
