Default Guns and C6 Vettes

Where is everyone putting their guns in their C6's? Any cool custom setups out there? Trying to get some good ideas for my C6

I haven't found a place that it seems to work, so I keep it in my iwb holster. In other vehicles I use a kydex molded mount under the steering column for use when driving, but this won't work for me in the c6.

Passenger seat or leaving it on my person seems to work pretty well.

When I get in the car I take it off and put it on the door cubby hole. Other times I just keep it on me if I'm using a owb holster.

My Kimber 1911 fits nicely in the center console.

Ankle holster to carry my sub-compact 380 in the Vette.

My Jaguars both have driver's side knee bolster compartments (for sunglasses, etc.) that work perfectly. Pockets are left of the steering wheel and I am left handed.

Not really any "special" place for me.. I lay one in the cargo area behind the passenger seat.. Usually carry a small 22 mag that fits nice in my pocket.. A friend ask what I am afraid of.. Either I watch to much tv or he doesn't watch enough..I know the little 22 mag is not being heavy armed but having it I find myself being armed more often and that is what is important for me.. Same friend questioned the 22 mag and I said let me shoot you in the knee and if you can then get to me you can have my wallet and the car.. Say's no thanks.. I said I thought so... I have many weapons of various caliber but the most important weapon you own is the one you have with you.

Not a fan of off body carry. I find my PPQ is comfortable in an OWB holster at about 4:00.

Nothing wrong with a 22 Mag. Some people don't realize the diff in a 22 LR and a 22 Mag is quite extensive. Got plenty of pop to take care of business.....
