Solid as a rock definitely describes the mounting system, a rigid custom engineered wedge, coupled with a dampening pad, machine screws and lock nuts.  We don't stop there though, solid as a rock also describes the feeling you get when your gun locks into place in the holster with a perfect fit.  This perfect fit is only achieved by pressing each holster to the particular model gun it is meant to carry.  In this way friction, and the subtle contours of the gun hold it in place like a glove, no other retention devices to get in your way.

We don't just say this, we do it.  Most of our pictures on the site don't show the gun in the holster.  We want to show you how well each of our holsters are made and why when we say your holster is made to fit your particular hand gun that you can believe it’s true. We decided to go ahead and post a few pictures of holsters made to exact fit, and to ensure that you know they are, we put the gun in the holster for the picture.  We'll continue to post pictures including the handguns and work on showing the detail and the fit.

These pictures are of a Glock 19 and a Kimber 1911 and I’m sure you will agree that there is not another company making car holsters that can compare with the detail and fit of our products. We will continue to give the same detail to each and every order we receive.  You'll likely see your holster picture posted shortly after you receive your holster in the mail!  Feel free to comment, send us an email, give us a call, leave feed back.  We love to hear from you.

We're always looking at ways to safely carry in the car here at SafeCarry.com and we've decided to go ahead and mount a handgun in a center console. The only problem now is that none of our vehicles have a console big enough to hold a handgun and still close! We have a few close friends and maybe even a relative or two that would, maybe, consider letting us test this out, but we decided there has to be an easier (and less risky) way to try this out.

So we went down to our local junk yard, Austin Vee Dub, because hey, if we we're going to buy a console, we might as well buy a cool one right? Yeah baby! After a few short hours of scouring the yard, we came upon the perfect specimen.

This is actually a pretty small console arm rest. That's why it is so perfect! This option isn't only for those of us with large trucks or SUV type vehicles, although, when we first asked the very nice people at Austin Vee Dub, they did mention we should try a large Truck or maybe a Van. At any rate this is now our test console.

Admittedly it is small, and so we chose to mount a holster for a small gun or a medium to small gun. For this experiment we chose to mount a Glock 19 - 9x19 into the center console. One thing that I don't have pictures of is the tray that used to be below the lid, so ok, for this to work we had to remove the tray, which came out by removing two tiny screws. Not a big deal. Once the tray was gone the Glock fit nicely into the console.

I'll create a step by step and include it for anyone considering buying one of our holsters for this mounting situation, but here are some pictures of the final:

The pictures aren't in any particular order. The holster is fresh off the press from our new Austin based shop, check out our store for more information on the holster.

Of course, if you put this back into the car, with the rest of the interior things would probably get a little cramped, once you pop the lid on the console, it is likely to actually be in your way as you try to maneuver your elbow around to grasp and draw the pistol. You are also limited as to how much of the gun's handle you can actually grasp.

Even with these drawbacks, having the holster securely mounted in the console also has many advantages over letting your gun flop around in there loose! You at least know how to draw the gun and where it will be. You can also continue using the rest of your console without fear of burying your handgun under your wallet, or phone, or lipstick, or your favorite {insert item here}.

Total mounting time was approximately 20 minutes. Possibly would add a little time if you're in your car for cramped space and getting your seat out of the way so you have access to the side of the console.
