XDS 3.3 in .45?

 

3.3 9mm. 147g +p hst. plenty enough power for me

the 45 is very fun to shoot though. just went with the extra round count.

 

I'm more comfortable with mine right on my hip.
If a thief looks in and sees the empty holster you can kiss the glass goodbye, because they'll be in there looking for your piece.

 

I sure hope it stays put during a crash.....

 

I carry the CZ P09, silencer ready. It is a full sized handgun and the barrel nut rests on the seat, my concern is that it will eventually wear a hole in the seat.

That said......


Yeah, I agree with others, mounting a holster in plain site is inviting thieves.

 

I figure you either live is a safe place already, or you're advertising for someone to break your window and steal your gun. But that's just my 2 cents. I live in the gangbanger filled state of CA where everything that's not bolted to the ground gets stolen. To each their own.

 

I have 3 of the Cold River or Mountain been a while since I bought them that come in different colors. They come in several sizes and attach below the steering shaft section on the plastic dash portion. It is a covered pouch with a flap closure magnetic. It is held on by 2 straps both around the steering column and can't be seen as it slides down from the top of the plastic and under the dash, pull close for very tight hold. On all of mine are 2 clip elastic pouches on both sides of the holster, concealed when flap is down.


In both my Jeeps I carry Glock .40's with 2 17 rd. clips, in our car my wife has her Beretta 9mm.


Be advised that in our state you do need a CC permit to carry in this holster setup we both have them and do carry another weapon on us at all times as well. As I recall this holster was about $50-60 or so not cheap but a quality product.

 

that looks like an advertisement for broken windows.

 

I CC every day and this is a supplement to my carry system. I only use this holster for longer trips in the car when I do not want the butt of my weapon digging in my side. XJs have surprisingly good side bolstering. IWB carry at the 4 o'clock position does not lend itself to comfort in our XJs for longer trips. Come on guys, I do not leave firearms in plane sight when I am not around...

I built this holster in two pieces. There is a bracket drilled into the knee plate and then two wingnuts hold the holster to it. I easily spin off the nuts and throw the holster under the seat when not in use.

There is a lot of retention build into this holster. Not too worried about anything being unholstered in the event of an accident. Even if so, modern firearms do not go off unless you want them to.

 

Who cares if the gun is actually there. A thief will see the holster and assume the gun is hidden in the vehicle. That is what everyone is saying.

 

I've mounted mine under the steering column.

 

its the simple fact that it raises the question. I carry every day, myself. it goes on my hip in my bedroom and goes off my hip in my bedroom.

 

As do I the key to this is a good quality purpose built gun belt for an IWB or OWB carry. It has not been till the last few years that high quality gun belts were made for EDC other than custom made ones, my first one came from Don Hume. That was after I saw Bill Jordan wearing one at a gun show in OK. in the late 60's when I had him sign a couple of his books for me and had the pleasure of visiting with him for about an hour. I think that it cost me about a weeks pay at that time to have one made and 4 mo. of waiting.


For those of you not knowing who Bill Jordan was I suggest you look him up and being on this subject a book title would be "No Second Place Winners" and he was a man that knew that well. If you carry a gun this still should be required reading as he speaks from first hand knowledge way too many times of being on the winning end of things.
