My HK VP40 fits perfectly in the glove box but of course it's not readily available. I like that under the steering wheel option though.

I drive with mine in my lap. If I need to store it I place it in the glovebox because it locks.

Course I drive a G so not sure if the Z box locks.

I put my HK P30 in the slot behind the passanger seat.

My preferred carry gun is a S&W Bodyguard 38 revolver. Since it is a smaller gun, if it is not on me, in its holster it fits easily in the glove box. Laws here require if you do not have a concealed carry permit, it needs to be in a closed compartment.

I haven't tried storage locations for any of my larger guns since none of those are as comfortable to carry concealed. I usually leave them at home when I am out in the Z.

I think I'm going to try the under steering wheel mount, I want to be able to get to mine and the glove box and back compartment are not within quick reach. I may figure a mount and put it right behind the passenger seat since I have people in my car often. Thanks for the ideas guys

If you go to the car wash or valet your car can the gun be easily stolen?

If I do anything like that I put my firearm on my waist or backpack

My .45 1911 stays within easy reach of my bed. If I feel I need a gun when I'm driving I'll just run the MF over.

i do the same with my glock 19. alien gear cloak 2.0 iwb is always on me unless i'm on post. if im going somewhere that doesnt allow firearms i leave it at home. i know there are some great options for small safes that can accomodate vehicles but i'm skeptical of leaving it in the car regardless.

No need for a mount in the car. It's on my waist

I have shotgun rack mounted on my Genny, F350 style. Kidding. S&W .45 is in huge glove box. With insurance stuff-smart.
