Door holster

[phaley99]

I’ve been looking for a pistol holster for my 08 Tahoe. Specifically I’d like one that fits in the door pocket or cup holder. I’m a left so I’d rather not have something that fits between the seat and console or mounts underneath the steering wheel.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

I’d go with something like this instead of on the door. Less jostling from the door getting opened and shut.

Not what you're looking for, but I kinda like the idea of the Vulcan QuickDraw

Otherwise, since you're a lefty, wouldn't an IWB holster for a righty work in the door pocket or cup cutout for you? The belt clip would be on the correct side and may secure over the edge of the pocket.

If I think about it, I'll try one of mine and see how well it clips/secures into that pocket tomorrow

What size pistol we talking?

maybe one of those magnet ones attached on the inside of the pocket would hold it in place.

you can look into a cup holder gun holder. I just carry mine, full size 9mm, OWB in open top pancake holster or in a crossdraw holster on long trips.

If you get a chance to try it that’s be great. I’ve been thinking about going this route but not sure the clip would hold it on the door securely.

A standard glock 17. My buddy has one of the magnet mounts in his Silverado and it works really well. I’m just worried about cracking the plastic when trying to install it.

understandable. I dont like drilling holes in my interior. Some good double sided tape may hold it ok. Never tried it since mines in between the seat and console.

are we talking the gun goes inside the pocket or hangs on the outside of it?

id be more worried if it was on the outside of it and end up bumping into it.

Definitely on the inside.

When you’re a southpaw there’s no good solution for an interior mount unless you’ve got a RHD vehicle. There’s no set time, except the wrong time, that a door holster will separate from the door/card.

The inertia of the door opening and closing starts a timer for the holster to separate. Add the piece in that holster and it occurs exponentially faster. Training your unfavored hand til it has memory to group at least 4-5 is best practice.

why not wear it IWB/OWB? work rules or something?

 

[gooffeyguy]

Or position it on the right side, between the seat and console, with butt facing forward for a cross draw.

Another possibility is on the lower dash panel, under the headlight/4wd knobs, with the butt facing towards the door. A cheap Glock belt slide holster would work good for this.

Oh, and here's a couple pics of a Glock 19/23 in a Zorn kydex IWB holster stuck in the door pocket.

I don't think this option will work. For starters, the plastic belt clip doesn't hold the holster very tightly to the door, it can slide easily front to rear of the pocket. Also, there is not enough room to draw the pistol from the holster because the bottom of the armrest/door bolster gets in the way. You can see how close it is with the Glock 19/23, so with a G17 it will be even closer.

I'm left handed and these guys have a good solution.

Problem with a door pocket mount is it may get wet during a rain.....

if it cant hold up to a few drops every now and then, it is junk and it needs not be in a edc rotation.


as far as other locations go it would need to be up higher I would think than the door pocket or seat bracket, if it is that low it will not be easy to reach and may as well just keep it on your hip.
