Hand Gun Storage

Looking for hand gun storage/concealment ideas for my Tundra.

 

I use a center console vault

 

Center console safe. A good one will cost you about $400 depending in what lock option you choose. I don't recommend the cheap safes that these guys are getting from Amazon. I recommend Lock'er Down safes.

 

Yes I agree with Tundra234. Cry once, buy once. Lock’er Down makes good quality safes.

 

I have the Extreme model. https://www.lockerdown.com/c-3-locker_down_console_safes.html

 

TRex Arms Sidecar. Offers both storage and concealment. Also the added benefit if getting to it when you need it.

 

This is what I did, some modifying needed to the center console, just trimming out lower plastic.

Bio-metric. Can open even with real sweaty and or dirty hands, with a key back up if needed

 

I like that for convenience. If I didn’t already have a lock’r down it’d be a consideration for a way to temporarily secure a gun!

 

Holster attached to belt

 

The only negative to this method is that your weapon could easily be ripped off during a break in. IMO, the one that bolts in the center console is a better and safer option if you’re going to leave a weapon in your truck.

 

It's either on me or real easy to get to! Lol

 

Actually it's bolted into the center console. And the last 2 times my truck was broken into they didn't even mess with it. The officer said it was kinda camouflaged in there, she didn't even see it till I pointed it out to her.

And there is always a firearm and back up mags in there, unless dropping the vehicle off to the dealer for oil changes, or if I go to a ranch in Crawford Tx, that doesn't allow us to have them there. The USSS gets kinda jinky if they don't have all the firearms on site.

 

Nice! I didn’t know you could bolt that thing down.
You have been broken into twice? Lame.

 

Yeah sucked both times, they went after the aftermarket radio, put a stock one back in, no more issues.

 

I can’t stand thieves.

 

I went with a Tuffy center console insert, custom fit leaves no room for thieves to pry at and was very easy to install. You can’t carry in certain places so always good to have a safe spot you can place your gun and valuables without worrying about it.

 

That’s what i have also, great console safe imho

 

I like the one I got off Amazon, safe enough and my gun isn't in there for very long when it is.

 

interesting option...I only take it with me on short hunting trips and never leave it in the car long.

 

Same here. Works for my purpose for half the cost.

 

Happy with my Lock'er Down Console Safe.
One of the first things I bought for my 2014.
With the electronic keypad I can open it without looking at it.
Although I don't think they offer that specific lock anymore...
Mounted my own magnets with Chicago screws into the safe wall..

Lock'er Down Console Safes

 

I have this one works great

Yep

 

I have the same safe--can I ask, how did you attach the holster/spare mags? Thanks!

 

I drilled a hole thru the safe and paddle of the holster and mag holder and bolted it to the safe I used a 10mm bolt and nut on each here’s a pic to give you an idea how it looked when I was doing it

 

Awesome--thanks!!
Wish I would have thought of that BEFORE the install...

 

It’s not that hard to pull the safe out again I did about 5 test installs to make sure I had the holster at the right angle then locked down my 10mm bolts and it’s very solid

 

This is what I did. I rather not have to fumble around opening and closing doors. Waistband to magnet back to waistband.

Also I’m not worried about the knee airbag.

 

Pretty strong magnet I assume? I guess one could attach that INSIDE the console safe is so inclined...avoid the holster all-together.

 

No worries with the magnet moving internal safety, releasing firing pin, releasing striker, or magnetizing parts of the pistol?
