Thank you. That explains it perfectly. The console vault installs in the lower compartment, under the seat. The question you posed was about storing your gun while you are at work. The console vault is an excellent solution for that and I dare say a sturdier and stronger option than any other. This is exactly how I use mine.BKV6812 wrote:That is correct. The gun inside the holster will not fit in the top console. I have a bottom console that it would fit. However, that kinda defeats the purpose of having easy access if I need it if I have to flip up the console lid to get to my firearm. I think I'm leaning towards some kind of concealed holster option.

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 4x4. I have a Ruger SR9c with an Alien Gear cloak tuck 3.0 holster. It will not fit completely in my console...even after cleaning it out. I have some door cubby holes that I'm thinking I could secure some kind of holster inside them and then I could place my gun in it as I get out of the truck and pull it out to re-holster when I get back into the truck. It would be well hidden from all sides of the truck as well. Now I just need to find the right size and type of holster. Thanks again and keep offering suggestions.
I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 4x2 diesel with the console vault installed. I can easily fit a government size 1911 in there along with 2 or 3 smaller pistols.
Now, if I want ready access while driving, I just push my pistol down between the driver's seat and the center seat. With the center seat (armrest) folded down, it is perfectly hidden between that and my leg.
