Ford truck pistol mount

[Choppersled]

Good morning everyone. Does anyone here know if there's any generic pistol mounts for the late model Ford trucks that allow a pistol to be mounted outside of the console or within easy reach of the driver? I've seen a couple on ebay but is was looking for real world experience if anyone has any. I'd be willing to build something too if anyone has done that.

I can add this, I was not happy with the magnetic mount for a vehicle mount, it was too unstable where I could mount it.

Keep in mind your CCW says it must be concealed at all times.

Not in the free state of Bama!

Use the seat pocket on the back of the passenger seat with a clip on iwb holster. ( best use for one) My fix. Or use shoulder, chest rig!!!

Use your lap. It must be readily accessible to be of use.

We use to zip tie an old holster to the emergency brake. Isn’t there some kinda law in Florida about legal to open carry going to/during/from hunting/fishing/camping?

Rule number one for contact while driving is to simply drive away. Distance is your friend.

That being said, in my Ford truck there's at least a half dozen places to conceal guns of all different shapes and sizes, and all within arms reach, bone stock from the factory... specifically what year, make and model do you have?

Indeed. I've got a 23 F150 Lariat with the full length console.

If there's not room in the usual places...

IMHO, the best place for a firearm is in a holster on your body. Unless you're selling drugs or chasing hookers, it's more likely for you to be involved in a vehicle accident and then the firearm could end up anywhere. If you have the capability, I'd place it in the center console, in a holster, if you can't have it "on you".

Multiple firearms solves that issue
Two is one and one is none...

At any point in time I have half a dozen within reach, in my home and in my truck and especially on my person. I was concealed carrying several last night. If you have a reason to carry a gun, carry two. A pucker factor of 10 is good positive reinforcement to never be out of arms reach of as many guns as you can afford and hide all comes down to whether or not you've ever used your gun and whether or not you've had that "oh crap" moment when you didn't have your gun in your time of need. I've had home invasions, car invasions and been held up in my own front yard and at the Whataburger... in my off time. West Pensacola sucks and I don't recommend anybody ever spending any amount of time there if they can avoid it. At work I've had three active shooter situations. Before all that, on active duty, that was a whole another matter.

Always on your person, always.
And your truck

You have a half dozen guns on you at any given time?!

On my person or within reach, sir yes sir.
Unless of course I'm in a gun free zone!
I'm a law abiding citizen

I saw that movie. LOL
I try to hide them around, but I forget where they are.

or the seat belt shoulder strap

both of my Marathon seat covers in the trucks have a pistol pocket in the front of the drivers seat...one of them has a rifle pouch on the back of the seat covers.

I tried that once with my Ford and ran into a problem with guests reclining the seats independent of each other
