For a long time I have been thinking about how to carry my pistol while in the car. I don't like it in my IWB holster because it is hard to get to while buckled in. I have too large of a gut to wear it cross draw. I don't like laying it on the seat because if I brake hard it will go flying. It is to inaccessible in the console or glove box. So, this is what I finally came up with.
It is a Fobus paddle holster mounted under the dash. It is inches from my knee and inches from my hand, very fast and easy to access. I used self tappping screws with lock washers, loc tite and large rubber washers. The large rubber washers are between the paddle and the dash and also between the paddle and the actual holster. The screws are drilled through both the top of the holster and the paddle for security.
I found that the rubber washers eliminate vibration and help keep the screws from backing out. The rubber washer between the paddle and the holster along with a large metal washer tightened down on the bottom lip of the holster keeps the paddle tight and keeps from sagging and being pulled loose when I draw the pistol.
I am carrying two spare mags in the drivers side door pouch as well as one on my belt. All-in-all I am very happy with this set up so far.
Here are some images. just thought I would share.
