1911 cup holder holster

[Rbrown1677]

So I have seen a few pictures of some cup holder holsters on the internet so I decided to make my own. This is my first one to make sure all my geometry was correct. I have some tweaking to do but my next one will look way better.

ummmmm to shoot what now?

My sentiments exactly. I get you have a right to bear arms, but does it need to be quite that accessible?

Sure it does. Why hide it away in some recess of the car where you can't even attempt to obtain it in a time of need. If you are asking the question, you don't understand the need.

Great build!

Keep the politics out...

Also, this is clearly not a concealed weapon... a problem with the under the seat, in the glove box etc builds

This is to each their own I guess. I knew not every one is going to like this but it's alright. The easier accessible it is in a situation the better. To some one on the out side of the car they can't see it my shoulder hides it so it works.

Absolutely

I routinely carry my 9yo son and my small dog in my car. This just seems like an accident waiting to happen to me.

Now that my opinion is known, on to the mechanics of this. I think that the right side pocket next to the radio would be your best spot, depending on how close you sit to the steering wheel. Being able to see the gun without having to look down would make your reaction times much better. Also, it would be in your peripheral vision even while looking out the windshield.

ok guys for those of you wanting updates i havnt had the chance to get started on the new cubby holster, but i did paint up the other just to make it look better. i will get started on it this week. it will be going in the cubby right of the radio.

It looks nice; but not legal in the state of IL.

Your approach is neat but possibly not as legal and safe as it could be.

I have one of these safes mounted under my seat. I drilled a few holes in the back of the safe and used U-bolts to attach it to a cross bar under the seat. I can with one hand reach down, push the combination, open the safe, and retrieve the contents. Good for cash, guns, or whatever.

It's a little safer and very accessible.

Here are some photos taken just after I installed it. I attached a piece of scrap 2x4 with rounded edges to keep it level and not snag when I slide the seat forward or back. I have a small towel draped over it but it is pretty concealed even without the towel.

Like any lock or safe, it will only keep out honest people. Ifone is determined one can always find a way in but it will likely slow down the smash-and-grab thief quite a bit.

This is what I use. Legal in CA as long as you are on your way to the range or to go hunting.
