Glove box back up gun

[DizzyJ]

My LC9 is on my hip

But but but.....

The Walther ppq is so comfortable and such a beautiful piece!

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

In a perfect world yes I would want it the other way around. But my job makes it difficult to carry a full sized pistol. Soooo I carry something smaller and keep the PPQ in the truck locked up for a easy quick back up.

Honestly I don't leave guns in my rig, I have had thieves bust out windows to steal an old sweatshirt. At 65 I have carried a gun since I was 21 concealed and never needed it. Yet had my rigs broken into several times.

Which is why one needs a lock box of some sort with a cable if they want to leave a gun in the vehicle unattended.

Sig Sauer P290 ,alternating with a Ruger LC9 and a Kimberly Micro 2 never in the car unless I'm with it.

I have one of these in our 4Runner.... the link goes to my install link here on NWFA.

Lock'Er Down Console safe install.

Along with the write up and pictures I made the following response to @Caveman Jim :

Really, it's more for a deterrent against smash&grab where the thief probably has a screwdriver or pry-bar, maybe a hammer. They will not be able to defeat it with these tools. Now, if they steal your vehicle it's all over because they will have the time and access to the tools to get in. The center console doesn't lock, though the glove box does. The glove box would easily be broken into with a screw driver or pry-bar.

But like you said, better than hiding it under the seat.

Nice writeup.

I don't think it has been mentioned but Ruger introduced a less expensive variation of the LC9s, the EC9s.

As far as I can tell the only difference is the sights machined into the slide rather than dovetailed. MSRP $299 and I am seeing them for as little as $210 + shipping on gunbroker.

Anyone else looked at these?
