Even if you didn't need it directly after the crash, it would be nice if you didn't get knocked in the head with it.

Definitely, or as with the Taurus, have it strike something hard enough to discharge. OUCH!

I think that's what would be called a "double whammy"!

Even if you didn't need it directly after the crash, it would be nice if you and your passengers didn't get knocked in the head with it.

I do not believe this is possible. The forces involved in an automobile collision are tremendous.

So, using this magnet frequently, is it possible your gun could become magnetized, and could that magnetic charge then potentially cause problems. I carry in close proximity to where my credit cards sit in my wallet. I've accidentally wiped cards before with a magnetic field.

Is this a valid concern or should I wear the tinfoil hat and stop worrying

I am glad that you paid attention in school.

I would be more concerned about the slide, frame and magazines becoming slightly magnetized and attracting metal particles. The metal particles could stick and cause the gun to wear. I suppose if you cleaned it well, the particles would be wiped away. It's a novel idea, but I still prefer a holster of some kind.

A pretty durable Uncle Mikes style fabric holster w/retention are still economical. and work well in a car.

Maybe the magnet is strong enough to hold onto a metal beltclip that is attached to a fabric holster?
