Z owners that carry, a question...
 

I carry with me 99% of the time until I got the Z and now just have it in the vehicle with me. An outside the waist band holster doesn't seem to fit well when riding with the seat belt on and I'm not big on IWB holsters. I'm currently carrying a Sig P239 which isn't too small. What do you all carry and how do you carry it?

I wish I had that problem...

You can only get a permit to carry if you have a writ from god and a good lawyer...

Or be a Martin Omally crony...

What IWB holsters have you used? I carry a Glock 26 in a Comp-Tac MTAC IWB holster and love it. I carry at around 4 o'clock and its very comfortable, whether sitting in a Z or a Mustang.

I only carry a samurai sword strapped to the rear tower bar.

I carry a Kimber 4in 1911 w/iwb holster on my left side about 4:00 position haven't had any real problem with it.

I carry a Glock 22, although I have found it very uncomfortable on my waist in the car. I keep it in the glove box and re-holster before I get out.

Para Ordnance Slim Hawg. OWB CC. Have to slide it on the belt but it works and Im not going w/o it.

At least you can fight it and carry... Here in Chicago, you can't even own 99% of guns.

that's how it was when I lived in NJ but here in GA you can own pretty much anything you want including suppressors.:tup:

I carry my glock 19 in a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB at around 4-5 o'clock position. It isn't as comfortable as driving while not carrying, but it really isn't too uncomfortable.

I either have it tucked between the seat and center console or in a cubby. I used to have a P239. I normally carry a P229. As for it being on the waist, I have a Don Hume IWB holster that is pretty good and has decent rentention with a snap up top.

same here :happydance:
this is my current suppressed set up, sig 239 tactical w/aac evolution 9

...same here in California :mad:

:tup:

One reason why I love Texas! I can carry when I want with the proper license. One reason why I worry about living in Texas... Everyone has a license to carry! LOL

I carry either a Sig P229 or a Walther PPS in an OWB Blade-Tech holster. Both are uncomfortable, although the PPS less so because of its thinner profile. I don't care for IWB holsters.

I put whichever pistol in the flip-out storage compartment behind the passenger seat.

Not a Z owner, but I carry a G19 in a IWB holster (Minotaur). In a car or not. If I am on a long road-trip, it is in the car though, as it is easier to reach if needed at a stoplight/etc. if someone smashes the window in/attempts a carjacking.

Keep it stoked with 127gr +P+ Ranger T-series.

thanks for the ideas guys. with the way people are today you can never be too prepared/careful

I carry a Glock 23 IWB with 2 extra mags on weak side and it is very comfortable when driving but I guess that doesn't help you much since you dont like IWB

I agree. If I'm going on a long trip I will place it in my center console and reholster when it is time to get out of the car. Short trips, though, it stays on me.

Definitely true, man. People are crazy.

weak side being left or right? i'm left handed but can shoot either and carry on the right. where the seat belt snaps is what is giving me problems...

Try shifting your holster further back, between 4-5 o'clock. Though that really will only worth with an IWB holster that is a lot slimmer than most OWB.

:iagree: That's normally how I carry my 229 in the Don Hume holster.

Gun on the right at 5 o'clock

If you're going to buy and carry an IWB holster, take it off inside the Z if you can. I wouldn't want that ish pinching my nerve and making my leg go numb. Not worth it. However, any other car that has a different style seat is probably more comfortable when carrying that gun at the 4 or 5 o'clock position.

Lies i dont have my CHL lol but i do keep a gun in my car, will be getting my CHL sometime this year.

I carry my XD in a KHolster. I carry kinda back, but have no issues.

No comment because I live in Cali........
;)

You just commented....

A small firearm can tuck under the rear edge of the floor mat under your right leg, or even in the door pocket, same place I keep my sunglasses case.

Man, weird that all you guys go driving with your guns between 4 and 5 o'clock ... what do you do if it gets later in the evening? LOL

I carry either a Springfield Micro 45 in a Crossbreed Supertuck or a Taurus 380 with a laser sight, also in an IWB. I carry both around 3 - 4 o'clock...I have RA and a hip that's threatening to blow out any time that precludes me carrying further back while riding, hence my choice for the auto tranny also. Spare mags ride on the opposite side. Cans and full auto are legal here in SC too < life is good! >. I don't have any comfort issues with the seats in the car while carrying.

Not to thread jack, but perhaps a more pertinent question for me is where do those of us who do carry secure our arms when we go into locations that don't allow us to take our arms with us? Do you have a lock box in your car? A cable and padlock (this is the option that I will most likely pursue, having just purchased the car)?

:icon18:

just curious... what percentage of American's carry handguns anyways? As a Canadian, you pretty much have to be a police officer or Brink's guard to carry. Even us soldiers have to move heaven and earth to get a license let alone a permit to carry. You can get a transport license, to and from a range, no deviations... but anything else is almost impossible.

while i don't condone breaking any law... if its concealed, its concealed right?

not as many as you would think. i'm ex military and do a lot of competition shooting. i would like to think i could assist/prevent in bad situations if one were to happen. my training and experience just reminds me that the situation can always be worse armed or not.

Depends on your local laws. In VA, the glovebox is good enough, so that's where it goes. I pretty much never leave my piece in the car though.

I rarely go to places I can't carry, and I try to leave the piece at the house when I do.

I am curious about how many who carry do so legally.

i have my concealed carry permit and appropriate tax stamps for all my nfa items

I suggest you get a handgun case that can bolt into the floor of the car and comes with a combination lock or key lock or both.
It's impossible to tell how many carry handguns, legally or illegally. With that in mind, I carry mine most of the time because I don't want to be caught unprotected or get involved in something that needs my attention.

In the US, every state has a different law regarding permits to carry.

Again, that would almost be impossible to tell.
