Where do you keep.......
For those of you who Conceal Carry, where/what do you have setup to store your sidearm in your truck? I am trying to come up with a better way to keep it available and secure. The strap that goes all the way around the seat and puts the holster between your legs puts it in a decent spot but I don't really like the strap running across the seat. I have thought about trying to attach it to the lower dash/fuse access panel under the steering column, but I am nervous that the panel may just fall off from the weight. It is only held on by 1/4 turn fasteners. Truck is an 89. Thanks guys.

In this truck i just keep the holster on my belt on my right side. I have also seen a commercially available holster that attaches to the panle under the dash. It has a hook on each end and cinches down tight to stay on. I have also seen people bolt or velcro a holster to the inside of the console so the gun is always in the same place.

I got a cheap 5 dollar holster from walmart and used velcro to secure it to the fuse cover under the dash of my 89. It's out of the way and easy to get to. And I keep my ol faithful 22 behind the seat during squirrel season

I dont ussally take mine off when im driving so its always on my hip. If you chose to carry it on you like me you could do like ive seen from massad ayoob and lift your shirt and tuck it behind your holster so its easier acess. The other thing ive seen and depends on your seat set up would be a holster on the side of the center console between the seats. Looking at my truck and seat set up On me works best

There is one on the right side of the steering wheel, just below the gauge cluster, it is just big enough for my wallet and house keys. You have an idea?
