Stop running away from the fight 😂😂😂😂
From an old, retired cop who worked in the big city, drawing our firearm while sitting was always best done with a cross-draw holster with the grip pointed to your shooting hand. This serves two purposes, one is that it is the fastest, second is that if someone approaches your car you can have a grip on your firearm without drawing, and no one knowing your advantage. When in your vehicle you do not have to cover access to the firearm. Give it a try, the proper holster for cross draw is the fastest, and you don't make the usual body movements to let on to what you did. You can always reposition your holster if you need to get out of your vehicle and cover up the firearm with clothing.
From another old retired cop. I agree. Best car carry I use is a Smith 625JM in a Galco cross draw holster. I got this holster for just this reason. Add a large speedloader carrier and I can carry three 6-rd moon clips stacked. These moon clips can be carried in both front vest or jacket pockets and the weight makes moving the outer wear away for the draw easier. A 4 or 5 o'clock pistol waist carry is problematic due to the seat belt. Appendix carry is acceptable depending upon the size of the pistol. I can carry small, medium or large pistol cross draw. It is the most natural for me. Good testing.
I only own Galco holsters. I never considered this crossdraw option. Thanks for the recommendation and for your service, both you and the original commenter.
In questionable areas I keep my HP grip forward under my left thigh, otherwise in vehicle , like you in left holster grip forward. Speed is much less important than situational awareness. Also well to remember that your vehicle is weapon of choice- stay in it! Use it.

Another old ex cop here. I like my Galco vertical shoulder rig in my truck and on my Harley.
I carry on my left 10 o’clock position for cross draw, because the seat belt shuts down the right side draw . It also is better in winter rather than trying to uncover the right side to clear all the clothes.
Real life is different than pretend.
Thx!!
"California Department of Justice" That is the Oxymoron of the century.
When he said "Trunk Monkey" I just knew he was gonna hit a button and the camera man would pop out the trunk with a street sweeper. THAT is the best choice for me. With the added benefit of you being able to pull a pistol off the magnetic sheath at the same time.
Couple of other things:
1. Those magnet mounts don't offer a trigger guard.
2. If you're having to draw your weapon while attempting to drive away from a threat, unlocking that safe or needing both hands to open any container would be a nightmare.
Some mag mounts do offer trigger guard.
With the magnet mount that is why I practice so much Is muscle memory with your finger . I am 60 years old
If you get into anything more than a minor collision and are using a magnet mount, your loaded gun just turned into a flying projectile…
They make kydex trigger guard clips attached to paracord lanyards
The one I have has a rack stop on it, so I just push forward with one hand it's rack the weapon and you can grab, rack and pull the weapon up all in one fast motion.
in my unprofessional humble opinion... if someone is in a car and travels a lot, a shoulder rig is the right answer... you can use a toilet without disarming too...
Yup, for someone who drives a lot, a shoulder holster is great as is an ankle holster...👍👍
That's a great point about toilet time. Worked at a lowes for a period of time and pistols left in bathroom stalls happened often including a police officer leaving one. Often wondered how many didn't get turned in!
In your holster, end of video
Some people can't draw in a seated position...I tore my rotator...I can't draw sitting down...but I'm sure you thought of that already...
If you're Rolling, aka & You must come to a sudden stop, Hard turn, ect. The seat belt WILL NOT let you move @ all. Until @ a Complete stop. That's just the way they work. Don't Believe me ? While driving, & breaking, or accelerating, Tug on the waist or Belt part of the seat belt. Carrying another gun in a range bag, can make the difference between life & death.
Awesome video. Regarding the trunk theory, that's exactly what they want...you wiped out by bad guys. That's why we left CA for FL where Americans are actually free, and cops are respected.
Thanks for coming to Florida!
You are welcome here- as long as you don’t vote like California
opening a glove box or a gun vault with divided attention under stress = disaster!
Quickly reaching for the glove box may lock your shoulder strap causing an even greater delay.
Awesome presentation, thanks for the great content.
Thanks for sharing
Great video, and man are you fast! Makes me realize I need to practice doing this.
Good show...thanks!
Thanks for doing this video, was just talking with a friend about console safes versus cable-locked boxes.
Informative video, thanks for going through the effort. It made me very happy I live in Georgia and not California.
I have been a member since 2016 with USCCA.I'm in a wheelchair when I drive i keep mine on one of the earth Double magnet. I have it mounted on the side of the Council the way I have it setup where so easy to get to. I have never had it fall off. Its a GLock 31 gen4 357sig I live out in the country have a lot of land I practice at least 3 to 4 times a month. I live in Central Missouri I love the Missouri gun laws. I have a mount on my wheelchair has a nice cover that slides over the pistol an pulls straight up. Best thing I ever got an peace of mind God forbid never have to use it.
While Pennsylvania is an open carry state DO NOT place your firearm in the Glove Box while driving. If seen it is a Felony and up to 7 years if you Do Not have a Concealed Carry Permit. I’ve had it happen to me and it’s not pretty. Totally clean record mind you and it took almost two years to get it Expunged from my record. It is now. $15000 later and probation of 1 1/2 years. My “ permit” had run out. But oddly to me at least if it left it on the seat when I stepped out to get a soda that would have been legal on my dash would have been legal. But I considered that irresponsible to leave it exposed. FYI I do have an active “permit “ now.
That's absolutely ridiculous. In Florida you can carry a firearm in your vehicle as long as it's concealed and not accessible for immediate use - glove box, center console, in a case etc. With a level 2 retention holster you can place it anywhere in the vehicle except on your person. You need a CCL to have it on your person.. which is kinda dumb since it's a permitless carry state now. Some laws are just senseless
Actually, in Pennsylvania, as soon as you enter the vehicle with a firearm, it is considered concealed. It doesn't matter if you have it open on your person or not. Make sure you have a license to carry before entering a vehicle with a firearm.
found this video insightful on practical ways to responsibly carry inside a vehicle.
Great demonstration and information.
Nice video! Smart ideas!
Thanks for the video - I normally carry 2 handguns one at 4 O'clock and one in an ankle holster (Alien Gear Shape Shift package). I also use the Alien gear car holster on my front seat. I haven't timed myself, but I will probably do that this weekend. The car holster has a thumb release making it a little safer to carry in the car. I always put the gun from my ankle holster in the car holster. I decided to do this because it is easier to draw from the front seat holster than to reach around the seatbelt to my regular carry gun. I practice with both positions. For me using the ankle holster and the front seat holster makes sense since it is not normally possible for anyone to see me move my gun from one place to the other which provides for a little more security/safety. The front seat holster is also harder to see from outside the vehicle, but is always in easy reach.
This made me think.
Thanks brother I have done some similar tests a ridge mount holster was that answer for me so it’s the same every time an in the dark you know exactly how an wear to grab great vid 👊
I drive around the Country A LOT & drawing from strong side hip while sitting behind the steering wheel...especially if sealt belted in...is slow, awkward, & telegraphs the draw....
My solution is to carry exactly what I did for decades as a L.E.O. ... primary handgun strong side hip & backup Model 642 revolver in an ankle holster... drawing from the ankle while seated is smooth & fast ..so is drawing from a shoulder holster while seated....
Carrying two pistols gives flexibility also because if I need to enter areas where more discretion is necessary, I can leave the larger primary sidearm in my vehicle lockbox & pocket carry the 642.
This is what Massad Ayoob recommends, the ankle holster.
Off body sling bag works for me if I'm not getting out the car but once I'm walking standing I appendix it.. keeping the sling bag open at the ready cut down the time
TY USCCA
-- Have mine holster-clipped to the map compartment in the driver's side door. I'm left handed. Downside is when I open that door, I have to park (or look out) to make sure no one is in an easy position to see it. Best thing you can do is (weapon cleared) test your arm length, the angle in which that's going to be natural for you to grab. But if you're going to have a 'truck gun' have one on your person too.
Great video.
Fantastic video 👍.
Since I typically carry in an OWB holster on my right side, I found this to be a problem with reaching it and getting tangled with the seat belt. So I installed a holster to my center console of the truck. Ir is about mid thigh and very easy to aquire.
Great video! Options to consider and some not. I personally run a Gum Creek mount under the steering column in both of my vehicles. Easy to mount and they stay in place when adjusted properly. They will accept many different types of holsters with extra mag pouch or not. The firearm is sitting basically between my knees and is accessible within no time. Fairly well hidden as well unless your really looking around in the vehicle.
Interesting video with expected results. Some other options for on body carry are a shoulder holster if you have a cove garment, cross draw belt carry if you have a big belly, and ankle carry for a small gun.
I have a uKoala bag that has a strap that can go cross-body, as well as a thigh strap. When I'm driving, I can shift the bag to my lap, and it seems fairly fast. I haven't timed it, but is more comfortable for summer shorts wear.
I found that a holster mounted to the side of the center console, between the center console and the seat, works extremely well for me. I mounted a kydex holster thats tilted forward somewhat is perfect for me. You can even mount a kydex reload next to it.
If im entering a situation where it looks like it could be sketchy, i can go ahead and get my grip on the pistol while driving with the other hand.
The 945 industries bag would probably be the best option. Would like to see you do this with that bag.
The stopbox car safe is Amazing, you should try one out. It not only allows for storage safety when you are not allowed or able to carry, but deployment is fast and reliable.
12:56 regarding transporting the handgun in the trunk/locked box, this is pertaining to “TRANSPORTING” only (i.e. taking the gun to the range or bringing the gun home) not to have for self-defense just in case you need it. Dumb, I know, but I was looking into it last month
Cross body draw (for states where conceal carry is legal) times?
kislux You are so well-informed about luxury accessories and bags. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much.
I have a custom bar in the center console that is like a rigid belt for my whole holster to mount to. Gun stays in the appendix holster, in the center console with pretty quick access. Muscle memory has me placing it in and back to appendix when I get in and out. It's the best I came up with. Fortunately on the rare occasion I choose to leave it in the console, my truck locks the console with the truck.
Shoulder carry like Miami Vice. Draw with either hand.
Awesome video!
We’ll keep them coming 👍
Take out of holdster on body and have a simple loop holdster on the map pocket on the side of my console by my knee. When out of the vehicle, reholdster appendix. Takes the seatbelt out of the equation and more comfortable. Prob in your test, would be a bit quicker than the magnet in console. Simply because it’s in a natural reach position, stable, and right at your knee.
Crossdraw ( from the waistband ) is faster than appendix carry. Wear on left side in front of seatbelt. If your righthanded and drive in America. Lefthanded crossdraw is still quick ( carried waistband right side ) but more movement involved! :))
Nowadays many threats come from inside your vehicle by a welcomed or unwelcome guest. Learning to carry and shoot from the opposite hand is crucial. Also understanding how to shoot when the blast and casing will most likely be in your face is extremely important. Nobody is talking about this
I would add one thing to your video. You can practice until you get very fast. Just remember when the fit hits the Shan a lot of thoughts will be going through your mind and it will probably take longer than you think. Great video. 👍
Keep it on you.
Gonna have to speed test my custom overhead console with a hidden trap door that gravity drops an inverted firearm by my right ear on drawer slides with magnetic mount. Firearm deploys in a consistent predictable spot where my hand naturally goes (like holding a phone to your ear). It’s pretty fast when you get down the hidden button location, but precisely finding that button in a stress situation could be the slow part and I’m workshopping a quicker option. But I love that when it’s closed, nobody has been able to find the firearm, even when I tell them exactly where it is. So maybe take the good with the bad? Still think I can be sub 3 seconds if I duplicate your testing. Great video, time for some R&D.
I carry concealed on my side or cross chest bag made for weapon concealment when driving. If i need to enter a building where no weapons are allowed ( bank, courthouse, etc;), then i place my gun in a lock box that is cabled to the seats metal frame.
Maybe mount it in some molded foam. That way you can even have your hand on the gun when you mold it giving you exclusive access to your burner. Just a thought
You're a natural, keep doing what you do
Also keep in mind that you may need to keep one hand on the steering wheel while drawing while the car is moving. You need to be able to draw with only one hand.
Probably should do one or the other. Trying to do both simultaneously results in both actions being severely compromised.
You'd be surprised!
As a left handed shooter, I have a rare earth magnet on my door. I attach my firearm to the magnet as soon as I shut the door. It is great! My body conceals the pistol from visibility. Another benefit is not needing to wrestle with the seatbelt. With the firearm in my IWB holster, the seatbelt makes it uncomfortable to wear and challenging to draw…
I keep mine in my holster all of the time. Between 2 and 3.
point made
Can you do another version of this video for those of us who are left hand dominant? Carrying in my car is my least favorite because there is no good place to conceal it where I can easily access it.
Extra holster for what you carry between sit and console is the fastest. When you exit just holster it. Cover it with hat when driving
This is what I do. If I have a garment or something around, sometimes I’ll just leave it on the front seat covered
I’d go a step further and not have an extra holster, but place the holstered gun between the seat and console and then place the holstered firearm in my waistband when exiting. You don’t want to be reholstering a loaded gun while seated.
Nice Audi. When can I drill with my 1989 mb190d and a new armalite pdw40?
I use a holster i between my driver seat and middle seat. And my hand stays on it non stop if i dont like my environment. I also have one appendix, so i have 2 g19x's when im in truck. 1.5s draw to hit
Double that time when there us an actual threating situation. Also, in a hard stop, the seatbelt may lock up and cause you another delay.
Im.in Maryland, got my CCW in Md, Pa, DC, & Az.. i carry my gun open, in btween the driver seat and emergency brake middle console,,, always w 1 in the chamber
What is the best/most accurate/up to date way or place to learn about local firearms laws? I know they can change fast and there’s no requirement to notify registered gun owners, seems wrong but it is what it is currently. Personal opinion, if you have to retrieve your firearm from your trunk every time you get out of the vehicle even in a “safe” situation your potentially either showing your cards to a dangerous criminal or letting a would be thief know your carrying something more valuable than the average person’s wallet or purse contains. And what are ppl that drive trucks supposed to do?
I'm a left hander that has had to adapt to the right handers world so many of us have become ambidextrous to some extent. Lefthander appendix carry is a no go in a car. Right hand handgun handling in the car is a must regardless of which hand is dominant. In Idaho we have fewer restriction on weapons carry so anyplace you put a weapon is ok in most circumstances is ok. No matter what position or location you park your weapon you need to train to bring it to bear safely as if you have loved ones in the vehicle. I hope it never happens.
Or 2 magnets in center console to stabilize
A very good video for perspective. There is only one good place to carry in a vehicle - in a holster, on you. My preference is appendix carry. The problem with mounting it anywhere in/on the vehicle is if you have to leave the vehicle, you are now the one exiting with a gun in hand. (may be warranted, most cases, not.) Ca is a dumpster fire for law enforcement and citizens who want to lawfully carry a firearm. ...and always wear your seatbelt when driving.
What about a chest holster .
I use mine backwoods bear protection.
Thanks for a great video!
Just another thought: all those scenarios were based on the assumption that the source of danger is OUTSIDE your vehicle.
And what if it is INSIDE your car? It can happen, and I know it for sure )))
The only solution that works for me: keep the gun on your left hip and handle it with your left hand pretending you are a southpaw...
It might be nice to see some different scenarios in terms of different vehicles and different sized people (Like Kevin M). Not everyone drives a truck or maybe their ergonomic requirements are different, meaning how one fits in their vehicle. Then there's handedness. Being left handed in a left hand drive might be more difficult.
Where's the holsters that mount to the front, left or right of the driver's seat, or the holster that mounts to the console between the driver's seat and the console. These alternatives are ALL faster than your examples and are a concealed option.
I have a tactical car seat holster I got off of eBay for 20 bucks. Pistol sits between my knees in a sling. Very fast draw. Problem is that it’s not concealed.
Shoulder holster
In my lovely NE state, the law specifies "under your direct control" or in a locked case or trunk (I have an SUV, so trunk is a moot point). The question that comes up all the time and that is not clarified at all anywhere in the law is what exactly classifies as "under direct control?!" Holstered, sure, but driving like that is insanely uncomfortable, especially for those of us with lower back probs already. Is console direct control because its under my arm? The ambiguity is frustrating at best, and legally problematic at worst.
Crossdraw holster if right handed
If you're that fast, it definitely makes me realize I need to practice this "until I can't get it wrong."
Next video... Window close (open it or open door?)
Next video while driving (stop? Or not?)
And what is the damage to ur ears (no protection of course) can u shoot the next bullet? Can u continue driving to get away after ur ears ring in close car ?
How much better is it to put gun far outside window noise wise?
what do you think about pocket carry? if i sit lowrider style, which i have to do because of my back, it feels a lot smoother than iwb because my arm doesn't have to come up, it just slides into the pocket
I just took out the guy sneaking around on the passenger side of your vehicle. You're welcome 😊
Interesting comparison. In all these cases being situationally aware will probably give you some more time, but if its not in reach, you're essentially unarmed.
In a prior truck, I had a magnet attached to the lower dash. It is unclear to me if that was legal.
I wish you had shown under the seat. Of course practicing with the gun is always required.
I wouldn’t ever put a gun in an off-body holster in my car b/c I’d be afraid of forgetting to take it with me when I get out.
For me, the gun is either secured in a storage situation or on-body for self-defense.
Again, not an issue of speed or comfort but just fear of leaving it (and not having it but also risking theft).
I like the guy sneaking on the side of the van😅
His opening appendix carry draw was flawed insofar as not having a seatbelt on.
magnets seam like a bad idea form the simple fact that they will eventually magnetize whatever they are stuck to, and this, will cause magnetic things to stick to it, so your gun would now be magnetized and attract small bits of iron from dirt. I made a magnetic holster for my leatherman tool, and now its magnetic, and always has things i dont want sticking to it, it seams like a bad idea to let that happen to a gun.
Some vehicles seat belts will stop you from moving your body forward too quickly and may hinder your motion. Take that into consideration. Removing the seat belt off your person may be necessary for forward motion. Check your vehicles seat belts before deciding on your actions.
U got someone sneaking around other side of truck! Scary. Loljk
Seat belt noticed.
If you are Carrying Off Body, you’re Dead.
One thing is, Accidents move Everything Around in Vehicles.
Shoulder Holster is my #1 Choice for in Auto.
2nd choice, Appendix, with Seat Belt “Behind Holster”.
I have a question. I noticed that in all those positions and draws, it looked like you covered your lap while drawing and getting into firing position (maybe camera angle?). It seems like that should be explained, as it could be an issue for someone who is insufficiently trained, like us mere mortals, when trying to draw while seated in a car.
How about mounting on the inside cover of the console?
He said the pseudo console move, second scenario, was to cover that very thing. Though probably would be better to show it.
Glove box is too far away and if you reach too fast your seatbelt tensioner might lock, stopping you short
nice audi!
I just keep it above the family jewls.
Same here, I keep my head on swivel 24/7 and if the situation calls for it? I always make sure to have my Firearm out and in my lap, but that's only if all other options have been eliminated 🤔
@@concretejungle8916If there was a situation that required you to pull your firearm, why would you have it in your lap? Please leave it holstered until needed.
Is that a Cracked windshield ?
I was distracted for the first portion of the video being in the truck, due to that huge crack in the windshield… do we need to start a go fund me to get that thing fixed for ya?! lol
Never Talked about Shoulder Holster???
The other issue that should be addressed is if your target is moving and you taking the eye off your target is a HUGE Disadvantage 2 seconds and the target has moved to possibly a more advantageous spot.
These scenarios are not realistic in the civilian world. I guess it depends on where you are but if you have good situational awareness you can arm yourself if you need to engage a threat. In theater that changes of course.
I do not see you wearing a seat belt. To be realistic a seat belt needs to be warn.
Is that a warning?
He 2as using the seat belt. You must be blind or not very observant.
Takes less than a second to take it off
He didn’t start wearing the seat belt until later in the video. Not sure how much it would change the results but still a valid point!!
Definitely is a huge difference. Under stress and depending on position of carry can make for DECENT challenge. Taking one of these classes is worth more then gold
I have a chest rig cc shirt and can get it quickly
You never mention of having to get out of the vehicle opens you to being shot. The perp will be already targeting you or would see you getting out and then target you. Any lessons about having it is a holster under the steering wheel for example? Been considering that for my truck.
Police are trained that thier vehicle is a tomb in a gunfight. The engine block is the only part of your vehicle that has a chance to stop a bullet.
True, but how fast can you run around inside your vehicle, when you're being shot at?
