Yep, this is the type I've been talking about...If you notice the metal crimp around the loop on the safe side, you'll see why I decided to beef it up a little...

It may or may not need what I did to do its job, but I felt better...

I bought all 3 in the large size...Keyed all the same...

It sometimes is...I do agree...

Here's the link I found real quick that will get you to something to look at...

I actually bought mine (3) from a group in Michigan, IIRC...

I also posted some information here with a modification on how to better secure it inside the safe...It involved buying a small "sleeve" type caribener from your local hardware store and hoooking that around the internal hook for the keyed latch that closes and locks the safe itself...

The cable loops into that caribener, and runs through the slot on the side of the safe as usual...That way the load if someone starts yanking on the safe is not totally dependent on the "metal crimp" that loops the cable...

I felt that improvement would add an extra level of frustration to a car thief or your average smash and grabber thug...

All in all I believe this to be the most cost effective, low vis way to secure your firearm in your vehicle if you have to...

Good luck, let us know how it goes...

The reason I ask about the holster is I have an OWB belt holster. I don't want to have to take my belt pretty much completely off and back on every time I leave it in the car.

Thanks

That safe (lock-box) system I and a few others have purchased is called the "Secure-It" safe...

I don't have the website, or the link on my computer here at the office, but I have it at the house...

I'm sure if you google'd or Yahoo'd the name of the system, you'd get hits...

Whatever you do decide to do, the intent is to slow down as much as possible, if not outright deter the theft of a firearm locked up inside your vehicle...

It is a very reasonable thing to do, and one I applaude people for doing...
