Where or how do you carry in your truck for long or short trips where you may not want to carry IWB/OWB. I know there are holsters for vehicles made to carry a handgun, if so show them up. I have a '16 SLT Yukon, '03 Cobra, and my Trail Boss which I carry in different locations. Here's mine for example which is side pocket for my Kimber Utra Carry II .45 in my TB.

When I am on the way to my deer lease down south I wear OWB the entire weekend. When driving around town if not carrying I keep mine exactly where you do. I think it is very convenient!

It is convenient right there. I only have that IWB holster, but I really need an OWB when I head out to the ranch. Guess I'll start looking for a OWB too?.

I can not wear IWB - tried some and could not get comfortable. I have 5 pancake Style holsters from Simply Rugged and a heavy duty belt. I highly recommend them. The website is easy and you can call Rob with questions. If you get the right Belt and Holster you will love it. I carry cross draw on my left side so it does not hit my seat belt or my rifle when over my shoulder. Feels real natural to me. Good luck.

I just CC, so a vehicle setup isn't necessary.

I have tried a few IWB and OWB holsters.

I prefer this leg holster for my S&W M&P 9 mm compact.

3 o’ clock for me. I have a Colt .357 Python I carry more in winter time, but with horizontal setup which I hate. Going to get a vertical setup to wear under jackets, etc

Not a big fan of going in and out of the holster unless I absolutely need to. It opens the door for unnecessary risk (IMO). 3 o'clock works well but can press on my hips after a while with certain holsters. 4 o'clock is very comfortable but also presses into the leather leaving a small indent. 

 

Everyone has their own tolerance for risk and that risk shifts when using magnets vs cup holders vs under the dash mounts. 

 

Depending on what you carry and/or train for. You may consider practicing a draw while seated in your truck and with the seat belt on using a blue gun or something 100% non-lethal. It may help you decide which storage location works best.

Simply Rugged holsters are great, especially for wheelies.  I get their holsters with the straps so I can do IWB or OWB.  I've got 2 beltman belts to hold them up when I'm actually belt carrying.  98% of the time though I use a smartcarry holster because I'm too lazy to wear pants, and it's too hot.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
