I recommend Taurus Judge. 5 shot revolver which fires 45s and shotgun shells. I live in NJ, so I am not allowed to carry until I get out of here.

There is a pocket in my door. I have it in one of those padded zipper cases, unzipped, with the handle at an angle where it is easy to grab with either hand.

And with all that firepower a cop will ask you what are you afraid of? My answer: Nothing.

Kahr CW45.
Goes in the door pocket when in a drive-thru. Don’t want to frighten the pharmacist.

Isn’t that why center consoles were invented?

Some years ago, I went to renew my carry permit.

Had my G19 on the hip, two spare 15 round mags, and a SW 642 BUG in small of back with one speed loader in the pocket. Also had a boot knife tucked in my boot top.

At the Sheriff’s office, I had to clear and check them. A young deputy was making “the scowl” at me, and asked me why I needed to carry “all that firepower”.

I pointed at HIS kit - body armor, web belt, Glock in a leg holster, Taser, pepper spray, etc., and said “Same reason you do.”

The OLDER deputy next to him - closer to my age - laughed and said “Have a good day, sir...”

Never place your handgun on the seat.

1986 Miami FBI Shoot Out

One of the agents that lost his gun put it on the seat so he could grab it faster. Unfortunately he rammed his car into another car and the gun went flying not to be found for the remainder of the fight. He had to retreat and watch the whole thing.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A friend had his revolver stolen from a center console.
Nothing else was touched - not laptop, not briefcase, not tools. Police said that's how it is 99% of the occurances. Therefore, don't put valuables in the center console when you are not in the car.

You’re a funny guy. Bet you didn’t know even flaming libs up here are gun owners and mmany pack. Their problem with guns is that everyone else can have them too.

Same here. Very little room in my pickup and no console so it was either carry on me or construct a false compartment either overhead or in the door. The door won.

False compartments are iffy where I live anyway. You can store in any factory compartment, but “custom” is illegal.

But frankly, I prefer the door pouch method. Absurdly easy (it’s designed to hold a cup).
