I'm mostly buying it to lock in the center console of the truck. A cop friend told me that there is a school of thought that you should use a laser sight and keep your weapon close to your body to protect it from being taken in a confrontation. I've never shot this way and wanted to pick up a laser sight to see how it goes. Not sold on it either way.
First I wrote this half dissertation in response to this. Then I deleted it.
Whatever you end up doing, make sure it fits in the console how you like it. There are plenty of custom holster makers that could make you anything you want.
