Anybody have any cool mods to hold my M&p shield while driving, but yet kind of concealed? It's uncomfortable and not time efficient to draw from the waist from sitting position.

I've seen several magnetic mounts which I'm not a fan of since there's just too much in the way of electronics in the truck. Also not a fan of the steering column mounts since those are technically crash parts and I don't want my knees going into whatever I'm carrying. Best solution I've seen are the holsters or pouches that mount to the front of the seat cushion. Or a cross draw holster if you want to keep it on your person.

I switched to the Inside the waistband appendix position. Good holster options and can be utilized in the vehicle.

If you are going to store in the vehicle check out the link above. Nice discussion on the subject

?? you know this because you frequently have to draw your weapon while sitting in the driver's seat?

I got my CCW permit 2 years ago and have yet to need to use it while I'm driving. When I transport it, I throw it inside the bottom compartment of the jump seat. I want it out of sight if I stop and go into a store. and it takes about 2 seconds to grab out of there.

True but it's just something I would like to have, that's it.

The holster in front of the cushion is what I had in mind. Any good brands that you can recommend?

Thank you for asking this question! I understand the need to transport a gun or rifle for sporting events but carrying a loafed gun ready to use is scary!

Practice makes perfect...

 

ETA:

Let me add, if I'm in my vehicle when TSHTF, I fully intend to leave the area as fast as possible.

When my gun is on me, it has one in the chamber.

 

If you have a window breaker tool for your windows in case of an emergency, what good does it do if you keep it in the trunk?

The trunk is a lot different than "within arms reach".

Do you keep your window breaker in your pocket at all times just in case? I think the glove compartment is the general place people store them.

What the point in carrying a firearm if it's not readily available? Something can go down in just a few seconds, I want to be able to access my firearm as fast as possible. I always keep one in the chamber while carrying as well, why have to load the gun if you get into a situation where you need it?

I've yet to see anything I really like. Some seat covers have it and I've seen one style that has a strap across the cushion that seems like it'd be uncomfortable.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
