Question: If say, hypothetically, I was "single" and "lonely" do you think there would be a tactical advantage to carrying a suppressed pistol, concealed, in the appendix position? Hypothetically.
This needs an answer. For my friends, not me. Totally not me. Just helping friends.
@@Absquatulationist for pure scientific research purposes
You win comment of the day sir lol
Ask Clint Eastwood, they didn't call him dirty Harry for nothing. Buy yourself a 357 😂
Definitely an advantage for females, not necessarily a tactical one though.
Dual wielding while driving with knees was not discussed, but addressing the friendless, single, and lonely was super helpful!
I fit that script to a tee….$5g gas ain’t helpin
I drive with my knee sometimes, but if I had to use a gun an do it, I'll take an AR pistol, over dual pistols hahaha
🤣
yea harsh
Feel obligated to second that.
When I was 17 someone attempted to carjack me, or just kill me, I dont know. I saw him walking down the sidewalk towards my truck in my rearview and for some reason I put it in first gear because something just felt off. He walked up on passenger side and said "whats up dog" and immediately drew a pistol and started firing. Luckily my window was only 3-4" down and he was an idiot who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Being 17 I didn't have a pistol so I just tore out of there like a bat outta hell.
Because of this I keep my pistol in my iwb holster, wedged between driver and center seat at all times. You're correct we're not in Baghdad, but man, it can happen anywhere and at any time. I will say, however, that even now and with a pistol next to me I would've been toast if he could aim, there was no time at all.
Damn, where was that so I don't go there😅

That was my thought.
Yeah, I was pondering that statement, too! I got kids and have seen enough home invasion videos to know that there’s not always time to get to the “secured” piece on the mantle when the door is rushed by multiple assailants. Better safe than sorry.
Yup same here if i am out of bed its in my waistband (driving i have a separate spot for it though)
Yes I still am
I almost got car jacked. Dude walked past me and made a B line to my blind spot on the passenger side. It’s because of videos like this I was ahead of the curve and saw him and just drove away. Thank you 🙏🏼
@Darren Bates you’re right. But I’m only pullin as my final option. Everyone is responsible for there own protection.

Know the feeling. I had to use a drive up ATM late one night, scanning the area around the bank. While collecting funds a man approached from the blindside on the passenger side.

@@kenwilson4775 Nice. Mans best friend for a reason. How big was your shepherd?
As a police officer my favorite way to carry in a vehicle was a small frame revolver in an ankle holster. Once seated for my trip I always pulled my pant leg up just over the gun. Extremely quick with little movement. My revolver was on the inside of my left leg and easy to access with my right hand.. maybe old school but when I was getting hired the semi autos where just becoming popular with law enforcement. I was even able to unholster it keep it close to my body and slide it up inside my jacket and under my left armpit as someone approached my vehicle without the firearm being noticed. I used this method one time and my partner didn’t even notice me do it as a very disturbed individual ran up to our auto.
Answer: The turret
LOL, remote Ma Duce...
I always drove the warthog 😂
Haha! “This isn’t Baghdad” - I-15 sometimes feels like it
The weapon should be secured in place so in the event of a hard brake, collision or roll over, so you will know where to find the pistol as you recover from the situation.
a safari land holster mounted in a spot that won't break easily
Alien gear car mounts. There's a bunch of different setups out there. Just depends what you want to do.
The FBI Miami/Dade shootout proved the importance of securing
a firearm. 👍🇺🇸
Bro, do you even combat drive?
One of your weapons should be secued.
A kydex trigger guard "minimalist holster" tied to the inside of the bag would allow for you to carry safely with one in the chamber while "loose" in the bag
Two big ones missing, the old school shoulder holster and kydex mounted inside the center console. Both of those allow you to have the gun in the event of a wreck, and prevent you from flagging your legs on the draw. Car carry is one of the scenarios where shoulder holsters actually make sense.
my question is how quick is drawing from the cup holder in a center console, I carry my p365 in a kydex holster in that position
Magnet mounted to console works great
Holster that pistol on the sun visor unless you have a hand cannon
@@Harvesttimebluegrassgospel my dad has that magnet right above foot pedal
You would never know it’s there
@@Berserker-lw6kd is that legal we can’t do that here unless you have CWP license
Most of these work until you get into a fender bender and everything ends up on the floor. A hard mounted holster would solve this. And a lockbox if you have to leave the gun in the car
Yup, I just leave it on me. I personally don’t like the idea of car holsters. If I absolutely have to I’ll lock it in my truck. Leaving loaded guns un-attended in vehicles is stupid and your just giving your gun to bad people.
Stinger Magnetic Gun Holder mounted to the left side of the console under the dash puts it by my right knee. Or under the dash just above the right knee. VERY secure, out of sight, easy and quick access. It was easy to mount and works like a charm. 20 year LEO, it works for me.
Aren’t car manufacturers regularly putting airbags under the dash for your knees/legs now? I know my F-150 has them, guessing Ford isn’t the only one doing it. I’d think that would pose a pretty significant problem.
Not in florida. No magnet mount
Magnet mounts are just a temporary display device until you’re in an accident and your weapon becomes the projectile.
Ohhhhhhhh, thank you - must be taken into consideration!
Actually that would depend on how strong of a magnet is being used and where the magnet has been set up
For appendix carry; Shirt goes over the lap belt, placing the lap belt along the same line as my actual belt. This makes the draw the almost the same as a seated appendix draw(albeit a bit more reclined in a sedan). Takes less than 10 seconds to do and has become a part of the same unconscious motion as putting on the seatbelt itself.
All fun and games until a crash ruptures your bladder or some shit carrying appendix in a vehicle
Same here, I do the same exact thing every time
1+ to this. I've only been carrying appendix for maybe a couple months at this point, but I'm finally getting this committed to muscle memory. Reps ftw.
Same. No complaints.
I use the same technique and was wondering why it isn’t readily mentioned.
Your key point about training with different perspectives at the end there, reaches farther than just training, but all knowledge and education. Warren Buffet said, "knowledge is like wealth, it compounds". Great video, man.
When I worked undercover in a vehicle I found a crossdraw holster to
work well. When flying aircraft a shoulder holster
worked well. The shoulder holster is a form of crossdraw. 👍😊🇺🇸
You use one of the TRUSS holsters? Someone recommended it to me for flying but I haven't heard any other recommendations.
@@jamesholmes6900 I have used many different kinds of holsters.
For striker type pistols I feel
Kydex holsters are safer. Before
retiring from my flight career I
carried a shoulder holster from
(if I am correct from Jack Ass
Holsters in leather with a 1911).
We had been authorized to carry
1911s. In my experience kydex
holsters seem to have less drag
than other materials when drawing
the firearm quickly. I have used
several We The People Holsters
with success. However, there are
several manufactures of quality
kydex holsters!👍😊🇺🇸
If you've ever been in a car accident then you'd know that appendix carry under a seat belt would do some real abdominal/hernia damage in an accident.
Got rear ended once and felt like the gun was going to rupture my spleen.
Sounds like another reason to stage the seatbelt under the gun
This is something I have not previously considered so thank you for addressing it. Looks like I need to find a safer way to stage during long commutes and road trips. However, I’d still plan to appendix carry for daily use. But then the same safety concern applies…a lot to think about.
I was appendix carrying when I was in an accident that threw my car 150 feet. I carry with the seatbelt placed under the holster. The seatbelt did the normal damage it does as in it was bruised all the way across but by placing the seatbelt under my holster it didn’t cause extra damage. It also makes drawing if needed faster.
So I would say if you’re appendix carrying while in a car ALWAYS put the seatbelt under the holster. I’m glad that’s my SOP!
@@patrickmcgee6309 how do you get the seatbelt under an AIWB holster inside your pants?
I like that you are smart enough not to carry a striker-fired pistol with a short trigger pull and no manual safety floqting around loose. I am always amazed how many people can't see the issue with that.
Carrying a striker-fired pistol with a short trigger pull and no manual safety doesn’t make you dumb. Often, when people have a misfire or accidental towards themselves you’ll often learn it’s negligence. Many, when they draw may flag themselves, have a sloppy draw, or don’t practice their draw often. Striker-fired pistols just don’t go off and don’t have a history of doing so within the past 15 years, especially. A short trigger pull? That’s because someone dropped those triggers in there, striker’s don’t come with short trigger pulls by default and usually are a 2.5-3 second trigger pull with at least 3-6 pds of pressure required. The reason why there isn’t a manual safety is because it’s designed to allow you to draw with snagging your clothes or holster when conceal carrying. The safety is often in two places within a striker-fired. 1. Inside often by or around the striker and 2. In the trigger itself. There simply isn’t a lot of cases of people shootings themselves or others accidentally with strikers.
@@kendallfleming5858 he specified floating around like in a bag.
What are you talking about? Striker fired pistols don't just go off. If it does that pistol is 15-20 years old. Also, what does floating around loose have to do with anything? I carry chambered at all times, and not one of my guns has a safety. Me: Draw my pistol and fire. You: Grab your pistol, take it off safety, chamber round-RIP....
@@MattyB7 Floating around loose in a bag? It’s still the same issue as I stated. You don’t have stories of striker fired pistols just going off loose in a bag either! Most people consciously aren’t going to put anything in the bag or area where the striker pistol is located.
@@kendallfleming5858 if that is the case sure but if there are things in the bag theres a risk. Either way there is still a risk doing that.
I run my gun in my car either between my seat and console with the holster or a "go magnet" mounted under the steering wheel.
I have recently begun to pre stage my pistol that I carry AIWB when I drive because I had this exact scenario explained to me and I knew I needed to do better
A good discussion that gets you to think about your setup. Raven Concealment has a trigger guard that can be used to tether to the inside of a bag or even attached to the inside of the vehicle if your're concerned with something getting into the trigger well and possibly creating a discharge.
Man, this is so timely. Thank you for going through this with us. I was just asking myself the questions you answered 👍
Mike is such an intelligent man, a true American gem. I’ve been watching him for years. Respect. When he wore Glock… he always had one in the pipe.
Now that he switched to Sig…
I just have a Safariland QLS clip mounted to my center console so I can take the Safariland holster off my range belt and mount it inside my truck. It goes with me everywhere via appendix, but I make long drives frequently and it's nice to have it stored and secure, but with easy access if need be.
I did the same thing. Plus my wife didn’t like that I had a loose gun in the truck with 2 kids QLS clip solved that one
@@natelow4989 I can't stand those stupid magnet mounts. GuD EnOuGh FoR mE, sure, until your gun flies around your truck in an accident. "Your car is not a holster" seems to fall on deaf ears frequently. I like the idea of a Level 3 retention holster, that's also at waistband distance, but is permanently secured to my truck.
What do you do in the event that you're pulled over by police? This is something that was never mentioned in the video and I'm wondering how most officers would react to seeing the firearm so easily accessible. I guess it depends on where you live to how they would react
@@TonyAlvestad I don't do a damn thing. It's in my center console, which I can also lock. I don't have to report that I'm carrying a firearm, but am required to answer if I am asked here in Minnesota.
@@TonyAlvestad Any time you get pulled over please roll down ALL windows and put both hands up where the cop can see them. Do not try and reach for your license or registration until asked to do so (the cop walking up does not know what your are reaching for or hiding). At night please turn on the interior light. If the weapon can be seen from outside the car let the cop know right away. if the weapon is concealed I wouldn't tell him. If the weapon is concealed where you keep your license and reg tell the cop before you reach. If you don't and he/she sees a gun thing will get real tense real fast.
When I was 21 I rocked a Sig 226 in a Miami Classic shoulder holster from Galco under a one-size-up Chaps jacket. I know shoulder holsters are probably outdated but I think it's a valid consideration, I was able to work it well just with the usual cons of not being able to remove your jacket and such, but definitely easier than IWB for drawing in a car, I used to do a lot of nothing but driving around.
Shoulder holster is THE fastest draw and most hard to notice until its too late -nothing else even comes close. I understand its not always an option due to where you live, seasonal weather and day job but its unbeatable when it can be used and its also THE fastest reload scenario for autos
@@longshot7590 The fastest draw is the one you practice. Noticing is the job of the observer, you can play it as cool as you want but reaching across your abdomen under a garment is more pronounced than moving your hand up from it's natural resting position and drawing from the waist. For example, my hand is in my lap or I'm standing with my dominant hand about where the pocket is, then I use the thumb to raise the cover garment and the other fingers to pull the sidearm up. It's a smoother, fluid motion. The difference in the time it takes to reload from a shoulder holster as opposed to a weak-side magazine holster or from the pocket (when staged properly) is negligible. Drawing a magazine from a shoulder holster could in fact be slower if it had a retention strap that you have to unbutton. A shoulder holster might have an advantage in an automobile but outside of that specific scenario, well there's a reason I didn't purchase another one.
100% agree & nice call on the Miami Classic 👍🏼
One day hope to score a Bren Ten 🤙🏼
What a great video! It definitely served its purpose. I do see some comments picking some of it apart. You didn’t state it was going to be the sure all to the set up for vehicle carry. The reason it was the best vehicle carry video I have seen so far is this. It was about questioning what I was doing right now. I have worked on my home set as well as how I EDC. I have been thinking about when I am in my vehicle or even a passenger in some one else’s. I have to admit I hadn’t found anything I was confident in or liked yet. You had some great ideas and ignited my commitment to finding the right set up for myself. I had not really worked that hard to finding a solution. I think I was hoping it would just come to me maybe. Thank you for the ideas and educating us why it’s important and some of the practical things to consider! I am subscribing right now to your channel! Big thanks, it’s appreciated!
After buckling my seat belt I lift my shirt, shift the lap belt between the holster and stomach, then let my shirt drop over it. It works for my appendix carry. Also some states (WA) require you to have the firearm directly on your person if loaded in the vehicle. I used to wedge the holster between the seat and center console until I took 911 Academy's multi state carry course. As a law enforcement instructor at Burien and having served as an expert witness in many court cases he covered some uncommon knowledge!
Used to live in WA and have never seen that law. Do you have a reference?
@@CAAAAAish I'm attaching a link for you. The gentleman that teaches the multi carry and i1639 course is or was a law enforcement instructor at the Burien law enforcement academy. He was also an expert witness and has seen the inside of a courtroom many times. There are tons of BS laws and ways to interpret them and this is one of those. Be careful! It could depend on who your law enforcement officer happens to be!
@@CAAAAAish the link keeps getting blocked or deleted. Look up RCW 9.41.050
The import part is "(i) The pistol is on the licensee's person...". The man made this point very clear. Just my opinion, but the places in WA you need to carry the most tend to be liberal and aren't friendly to the 2A.
OK, several points: You are in an SUV (I everyday drive a 2006 Duramax 2500) so you have an elevated view = very good, you can see traffic ahead and potential threats over other vehicles; the bag is a good sale point, but an awkward place to reach for a gun (in a sharp deceleration it usually ends up on the floor); an excellent (zero cost) option is to put some work/tactical gloves (always handy) in the door cubby holder and then place your handgun (inverted) on top...this keeps the damn thing from rattling around the plastic bin and DRIVING YOU NUTZOID! Works for me.
I use Alien Gear Shapeshift holster with the Driver Defense set up. It is extremely fast, it's secure, and it draws very naturally. The holster sits between your legs attached to your seat. You can then move the holster from seat to OWB carry in less than 10 secs.
I also like this concept. I Find my holster of the same model, with the paddle holster attachment, I can put the paddle between the plastic and fabric of the seat and it locks tight.. Draw is the same as if on my waist. :)
I use an Alien Gear "Shapeshift Driver Defense Holster" and am very pleased with it. The holster is located at the edge of the drivers seat right between my knees. The weapon is secure and I have very easy access. I have practiced so it is an easy draw. The only negative, from the video, is I take my firearm out of appendix carry and put into the vehicle holster (or vice versa) ever time I enter or exit my vehicle.
Mike Glover is so practical and tactically wise!
If you are carrying appendix while wearing a seatbelt, you underestimate the intestinal damage that will occur if you are involved in an accident. Your chances of an accident are much higher than your need to deploy your weapon. Look for an alternative that will work for you while you are mobile. Stay safe.
not if you live in brazil lmao. I just keep it under my left leg though.
Good point! 🙏
Just put the seatbelt behind the gun, no?
I've often wondered about this
That is correct, there is such a risk. But the point of the video is not which position is safer in an accident. The point is to compare all the existing options in an external threat scenario. In case of a bad accident, your gun in the bag will fly out and can hit on the head not only you, but also your children in the back seat. And so can your coffee mug or any other heavy object in the car. As for the reaction to an external attacker, a draw from an appendix position, IMHO, is still faster than from a bag in the passenger seat.
It would be great to see how a left handed armed person can deal with a volatile confrontation in a vehicle.
i made a holster attachment to my truck door. granted it means puting holes in your inside side panel but your guns always at the ready
@@stephentillman1076 Better holes in the vehicle door than holes in you. Do what you have to do to get the advantage/survive. 😉😁
My 18' GMC Sierra 2500 has a perfect pocket next to the console right next to your right leg. Fits my X-Compact and holster perfectly. I go right from my appendix straight to the pocket in the console.
Perfect! Direct and to the Point. Great Editing. Thank you
The most ludicrous car setup I use to do in the wintertime while doing my part time delivery is Appendix carry g17 with baldr pro light & 30round mag. Bad areas. Usually 43x though most of the time lol
I winced in pain reading this.
Lol, anytime I carried my g17 I realize how big of a mistake that was 😂
Sig p365 has won me over and my g17 is retired to home defense only.
@@OleMisss im 6’4 280lbs so g17 easy carry for me
Typically we (people of the inner city) keep the blicky between the seat and the console while spinning the block for some ops. The draw is quick enough since the equipped extends to assist in preventing it from sliding too deep to grab. Great advice to try out.
On the mf gang. Big glizzy riding shotgun
But if you want to have it legally, many states require that it is encased while in your vehicle.
@@somebb Tell that to the criminals.

I love your truck. It only misses some bulletholes 😂 kids and guns always my problem. They find everything wherever you hide it lol. Tnx for video
Great ideas to consider for each individual’s situation
I carry my pistol held by one of those ridiculously strong magnets mounted under the dash by the cup holders. From the street/outside view you'll never see it without very deliberate searching and aid of a light. From inside, it is extremely quick access and holds remarkably secure. I've run all over my ranch, off road, bouncing around over obstacles and it has yet to drop, move, or pop loose. My ONLY concern is IF I get pulled over and a jumpy cop sees it in "plain view" they may get a little pissy. But I'm willing to risk it and make my interactions with police polite and as comfortable for them as possible.
What brand of magnet and mount is it?
Where did you get the magnet? I like this idea
@@alphabettheo3580 jic the link doesn't post again. I got it on Amazon, Rymmes 45lb gun magnet set. For some reason it seems the reply w/ link to the product keeps disappearing. Or at least it looks that way to me.

You’re amazing ! Your advice at the end, the way you teach … congratulations!
never store a gun loose (wedged or in a bag) in a car. A sudden stop (maybe caused by perp) will make it go flying
I actually do appendix carry while sitting on the couch watching TV. Great info though, I love your content. Thank you for doing what you do.
Excellent knowledge. Your bags, weapons, are most appropriate. Thank you.
“This isn’t Baghdad.” Chicago would like to have a word
How do you make yourself more tacticool? You put a suppressor cover on your pistol. I have literally never seen anyone do that. That's epic.
Great video. I drive a MINI COOPER S, R56 chassis. Defitnitly a challege. Great points dropped Mike. Keep posting.
Here goes.... Long before their were plate carriers..... I carried a SW model 65 as my duty weapon in a clam shell holster that was modified to be on my hip, drawing from a seated position was slow and somewhat difficult, when working plain clothes with the SOS unit I was introduced to the shoulder holster, east to remove sidearm when seated and could get to the sidearm with either hand, really liked it. For some reason some "Gun guys" think moving your sidearm to a position in the car is a bad thing, I really don't know why. Practical operation is always the best teacher. Keep up the good work MG.
I am right handed and wear my sidearm at the 9:30. Just as fast as appendix, seatbelt does not interfere. Easier draw all around. I drive up to 10 hours a day.
That’s one of those positions that’s especially suited to driving and horseback riding.
Cross draw! Like the good ole days
I feel like a simple solution was overlooked here.
Remove holster from person, and clip it to your seatbelt lap belt on the left side.
It's secure, out of the way, not easily visible but easy to (cross) draw.
Has the advantage that it's pointing at the driver side window moments after it clears the holster.
I like this, but what about airbags?
That's wasting so much time. I can't imagine having a bunch of errands to do, and then doing this idiot shit.
I love that you're showing, let's say "unorthodox" carry methods!
I had actually thought about but this when I had kids. What I ended up doing originally was screwing holsters all over an old car we had and found what was comfortable . After I found what was comfortable I made a set up that worked for me and mounted it in my truck. I wish I would have thought about bringing my car somewhere to draw and shoot from the spot I was comfortable with .
I just gotta say, props to you for making what should be a 30 second video into 17 minutes 😂😂
You should do one of these with actual vehicle holsters such as mine. I have one that attaches to the dash under the steering wheel. It holds the pistol between my legs attatched to the bottom side of the wheel (which I personally feel gives me faster draw time) and so I’m just curious what that time could be as well…
Which holster is that? I’ve been looking for a holster specifically for that!
@@TerminalxGrunt alien makes one.

important topic. thank you for all the work and then sharing.
I run that Patagonia Atom sling and had the zipper flipped and a peice of plastic with velcro sewn and glued into it. Kydex holster velcros right in. I also added a peice of plastic slightly in tension along the zipper to keep your hand from getting caught when reaching in. The main driver for the bag was vehicle interactions. Works pretty damn good for everything else though too.

@@jnew417 ahhh okay you probably like a gun before you've had a chance to shoot it as well. I understand 👍🏻
@@jamiesteckler5745 A firearms appeal is usually what leads me to want to shoot it so yes. Carry on.
Is there a reason you didn’t consider a magnet holder on or under the dash ? I have used this method to great and fast success. Even on bumpy roads I have never had it jump off the magnet and I have never hit it with my leg. In my car it puts it right above my right knee and in some roomier cars you can actually mount it on the steering column. You also can stick the pistol to it vertically or horizontally. We have had times well under the times here.
Where is this legal? Here in Florida you need to have it encased while in your vehicle unless it is concealed on yourself.
Legal in Texas
@@TheMadShredder Everything is legal in Texas lol
@@somebb as far as gun laws hell yes. God Bless Texas
Did similar test some yrs ago and for me off body for sure. After entering vehicle unholster from primary on body and reholster to secondary holster mounted directly under steering wheel. There are sweeping yourself considerations you need to train around but very doable.
great explanations, very impressive, thanks Mike!
"this target was about 100 meters from the car" 😂😂
NOT!
Would you recommend storing a free-floating firearm if it has no manual safety, for example, in this scenario?
With or without a manual safety. With one in the chamber? Hell no. You need to have something that completely covers your trigger guard, regardless of the safety mechanism when carrying with a hot pipe.
Depends on the firearm. Some require some sort of trigger guard, but most modern semiautomatics have a drop safety as a standard feature. Many feature grip safeties plus or minus a trigger safety. So for this scenario with the systems I use, I would have no problem staging my firearm free floating.
I mounted a holster onto my consul in my Jeep Wrangler at my side. I also have an extra mag for my Sig P365XL. IF SHTF it's in my hand and ready to fight quickly. It works for me if I'm seated. In my house my weapon is at my side always. End table, or nightstand.
Someone I know uses the G-code vehicle mount system and has it mounted below the ignition infront of them inside of a G-code XST holster mounted to an RTI mount. On the Ronin belt they use they have the G-code hip ride with single strap so the firearm is readily accessible and has lvl 2 retention inside the XST which if needed can be swapped over to the ronin belt. They keep a haley incog in the vehicle so when they get out they take that and the pistol in it appendix. This has easily been the best setup for safety accessibility speed and ease of use for that individual.
All the free float option are inherently dangerous, it should at least have a no retention kydex you slip off. Trigger guard is not protected.
I keep my pistol in the same place, always. So without question, muscle memory allows me to instinctively pull it and get on target quickly and accurately... On My Person (strong-side).
Note; Those who do lawfully carry, train regularly. Remember this, "failure to train, is training to fail"... because when it counts, you may not get a second chance... and, God forbid, you are ever put into a life threatening situation it's going to matter... it may not only be for your life, but you're freedom as well. So be smart, stay vigilant, and stay safe. God bless you all
Also those vz operator grips have eat the side of the shift tower on my little cruz where I keep one inches from my hand….I mean if a mans gonna carry I wanna be the first to the party when that time comes…thanks mike man your the best dude …all you real combaters just are glad to be alive n free…
I use a Harry's Holster OWB holster wedged in the seat/console. The belt loops give it just the right amount of tension to keep the holster in place yet allows easy access to my S&W 9.
Bueno ojalá lo puedas leer esto... considero que cada persona se adapta al uso regular de su arma y se familiariza de acuerdo a su necesidad... veras... yo utilizo el arma a las 12 o a la 1... con un holster oculto no como el holster que tu utilizaste fuera del pantalón... cruzo el cinturón de seguridad x arriba del holster oculto... y la camisa la sacó fuera del cinturón de seguridad... de tal manera que mi camisa cubre el cinturón de seguridad y el arma... si tengo la necesidad de desenfundar solo levanto mi camisa mi accedo al arma... ahora bien x supuesto que incomoda el cinturón de seguridad que va sobre el pecho porque estorba el grip del arma... pero accedo muy rápido... no como tu ejemplo... llevar la cangurera o el bolso en la cintura a la 1 que recomiendas realmente es de fácil acceso... pero se pierde el factor de porte oculto... porque le dices a todos que llevas un arma... es mi punto de vista... te repito cada persona se adapta a esa necesidad utilizar el arma y sobre todo cuenta mucho el lugar donde vives... saludos desde el sur de México
FWIW, if I’m going to pull a gun from a bag, it’s not going to be a hand gun. I think that many of the problems described in the video with appendix carry in vehicles either don’t exist in the real world, or are easily overcome by some common sense (e.g. tucking your shirt behind the firearm and seatbelt, etc). IDK, just my 2 cents.
Ty Mike im old Daytona boy also had bail bond company and pawnshop in Daytona and deland much respect brother
Some other suggestions: use a cross draw holsters Bullard Holsters) or a M-TAC Tactical shoulder bag with Sling Strap. There are M-TAC Velcro adjustable holsters that can adjust perfectly to your conceal carry weapon.
Great video. 12:33 "have a separate pistol" ... and spare mag(s). When you leave the vehicle, put it in a lock box. EDC stays on your person at all times.
Great video and demonstration. I have mine on the left side side of tranny tunnel using heavy magnets. It’s just inside and behind my knee. Can’t be seen from any angle and a quick draw point for me. I run with a SIG P320 X-Carry and it has worked the best for me so far. Thank you for the tips and examples.👊🏼🇺🇸
As a wrong-handed individual, I find a subcompact in a holster of my front left pocket with an Ulticlip is fast, safe, and convenient. The seat belt is not in the way and the door typically gives more room for draw than a center console would for rightys. If I exit the vehicle, I shift to appendix carry without removing the firearm from the holster.
Good vid & nice to see someone who can bring nuance and dare to suggest that being not chambered might make sense for some people in some situations. Sick of people that insist or demand that every person do exactly as they say. When young kids are involved, and they can't rack a slide...having a round chambered is a very different risk than not having it loaded. Lots of other good stuff to consider brought up...I just found a spot in the door that my MnP9c fits tightly into the cup holder. Can draw from there w/o having the holster move. Thanks for bringing these things up.
I wore the fanny pack as a chest rig while camping in the dixie last week. LOVE IT. quick access to all the goodies I stored inside.
I appreciate the, “I can do this and look cool” while sounding the complete opposite of cool
Great review, thanks.
Got those Methods on the truck!!! Good taste.
Great info . Thanks Mike
Awesome video brother, you can always use multiple options in different situations, and have them at ready...👍✌️
Excellent as always!
You missed one additional options that provides “0” obstructions. I have 2-25 lb. Magnets mounted on the side console just below the dash at my right knee where a 642 S&W sits. The magnets allow me to switch pistols since I sometimes carry a SS P320. I am unlimited as far as firearms that are held in that spot, even a 686 which is considerably heavy. Yes, I prefer a revolver. No safety, no jams, no racking, and always ready.
Great content! I recommend the Raven Concealment System. Use it with my P365. Covers trigger and trigger guard. Includes a teather. No trigger issues in bag. Check it out. I confidently keep one in the chamber.
To me, just keeping it holstered works great.👍
Great presentation.
Excellent post.
On your waist. Drove cross county appendix and 4oclock. Train both ways as well.
Mike you are the best In my opinion, have a great day!!!!💯💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Situations awareness is always the key. If you got headphones on or music blasting texting or distracted then you won’t be ready. Since we get videos now of events happening when can see how these situations play out. There are almost always signs
For gun placement in my car I use one of those seat gap organizers that fits snugly between the center console and the passenger's seat. I clip my IWB holster so that the holster and handgun are in the organizer. Don't have to open anything; it's right there. And when I get out of the car I either appendix carry or put it in a sling or fanny pack with a CCW compartment.
Wow! Valuable information.
Thank you!
Fanny pack is very good method!!! Good video!!!👍🇺🇸
Looking Good Mike with the new trim, Looks Slick. 😁
Gotta like for the LC, can't pass up a gas station 😂, but its built like a tank. Good stuff Mike, good stuff thank you
