Also open carry isnt allowed in many states. So us concealled carry would have to reach under our shirt and its not as comfortable to be sitting in a vehicle with it IWB.

It looks to me that you should be able to draw fairly well with that setup. Having your shirt over it will definitely slow you down, but I don't expect everyone to carry the way I do.

No, I dont typically open carry so I do normally have a shirt over it and in the winter months its a coat or a sweatshirt or both.

A lot of them would be speaking German today if not for the US. We will always fight for what we believe in and never fully trust that any government or police force will be there to protect us or have our best interests at heart.
Someone comes in my home they are a threat to my family and will be dealt with as such.

I once saw an ad for a used French miltary rifle....never fired....only dropped once!

As you can see the seatbelt clearly obstructs the pistol.

It's worse if you are, ahem, larger than normal size. I could barely carry in my F150. The new escape, while it has enough room for me, isn't going to let this happen. I, too, need an alternative.

Screw ankle holsters.

Everyone is built different and obviously drawing from a hip holster in a seated position is not ideal for everyone, hence the topic of this thread.

without doubt, it took a lot of practice to where I feel comfortable drawing while seated in the vehicle.

For longer trips I just stick my holstered gun between the seat and center console. What I might end up doing is sewing in a loop of nylon so I can slip my holster in there and it will retain the holster if I had to draw. This will keep my draw stroke natural and the gun in a position where it is concealed when I am seated.
