Where Do You Put Your 1911? Pictures Please?

#1

Post by rmclain3 »

So I'm still waiting for my plastic and I'm stating to wonder where in my new Honda CIvic I can conceal my gun. Can any of you post some pictures of where you put your gun in your cars please. I want to make sure where I put mine makes the gun both concealed and easily accessable if needed.

I'm away from my camera, but my gun stays on my hip, except when I can't carry it and it goes into a lockable center console for those times.

Edited to add: I drive a pickup, and not a civic.

I would not plan on leaving the gun in your cabin unless you get a safe, because the new civics don't have any lockable compartments (except the trunk). For comfort sake while driving I just stick mine (Walther, not 1911) in the center console. The rub is that you can't realistically put anything else in there with it. My wife sticks hers in the glove compartment. If we ever have to disarm and leave the goods in the car, we just get in the backseat (easier to conceal what we're doing), let down one side, and stuff them in a lockbox in the trunk. Lock the trunk release in the driver floorboard and a potential thief will have to go through 3 layers of locks, which will pretty much disuade them. Even if you don't have a safe, the trunk is the best place to store them, assuming you engage the release lock. Hope that helps.

I don't have any pics but I have ideas about hiding guns when there are no real hiding places.

1) Next time you get fast food, keep the bag (put gun in bag and stuff bag in door pocket), nobody wants to touch your trash.

or

2) Put gun under passenger rear floor mat and throw underwear on top of that. It'll be as safe as if it were in Ft. knox, but still very easy for you to get from the drivers seat.
