For carry, I prefer a SA/DA. That way I can chamber a round and decock the hammer and still have a pistol I can shoot without having to remember to turn the safety off. The first shot is going to be tough because of the hard trigger pull but it'll fire in a hurry. I carry mine the way I want and don't need to justify my decisions to anyone.

I'm lucky to be in AZ, another state that is gun friendly. You don't need a permit to carry concealed in AZ. My wife and I both have our CCW anyways. The courses do teach a lot about laws that people don't normally know and could be helpful if the time comes that you ever need to use a weapon.

I’ve been following this post, hopefully to see some ideas about the magnets or other ways to mount/carry a gun in the truck. But like always we tend to get off topic, lol. I have a rubber mat thing in the cubby on the side of my console, that’s were my Glock rides. The mat keeps it from sliding around. I don’t have a picture of it, but it’s nothing special. I don’t have kids or have any kids riding with me, so that’s out of the question.

also about the 1911’s.... i personally think it’s too heavy to conceal carry compared to my Glock. It’s just a heavy gun. It’s a custom built, and I’ve personally machined and hand fitted every part in it. It has never jammed or gave me issues. I wouldn’t have a problem carrying it and trusting my life with it.

a bullet in the chamber is always up for discussions. I carry either way just depending on where or how I feel at the time.

I’ll post some gun **** anyways just to help things move along!! Below is my Polymer80 glock I just finished building and my faithful 1911!

Very strong 25lb rated I think and ultra thick soft rubber covering.

Can't remember where I got it.
Thanks very much for posting this. Same goes to carrierj. Both instances are just what I was looking for. Cheers!

I have loaded guns tucked away all over the house, none with a safety and all with a round in the chamber. I carry with one in the chamber at all times. Been thinking about the magnets as well. Although I have absolutely NO concern for what any passivist around here thinks, I do have concern for how my leather is getting scratched by the butt of my pistol. Would love to see an example of an unsecured firearm going off in a wreck.

Chances of going off are slim...chances of becoming a projectile are large.

In a wreck violent enough for the pistol to become a projectile, the projectile would be the last of your concerns.
