    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.

    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.

    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.

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!

      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.

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.

      @@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.

    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!

    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!

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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    To me, just keeping it holstered works great.👍

    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.
