Hide your guns thread

After seeing posts by Chad a while back with a hidden AR15 in the jack space in the rear door got me thinking. Of course I am going to do this too! Already ordered the quick fists for mounts but wanted a project while I waited. Came up with a way to hide a full size 1911 in a Hummer H3 middle console.

Went and got a sheet of 2" thick foam and cut it down to 3 squares measuring 6 1/2" by 5". Although you can make it larger I wanted some space in the back of the console for extra mags or misc crap.

Take the 3 blocks and used Elmer's spray glue to glue them together. Then used a pearing knife to cut a hole just large enough for the barrel In two of the three blocks. I left the bottom one without a hole so the barrel has a resting point.
After that dryed I used synthetic leather to wrap the block and made a slit with an exact knife where the while in the foam was. And WAHLAH! Here's the final result..


Next I'll post the AR15 mount build.

I omitted the foam. I keep a couple boxes of ammo, spare magazines, flashlight and my 1911 in there. The only time the pistol goes in there is if I can't carry where I'm at.

That's pretty sharp, wish I could do that in Jersey lol

Neat idea, thanks for sharing.

I hide mine in my shoulder holster or IWB holster. Nice idea though. I like it.

i like it, but you ought to rig a way to cover the trigger. other than that, looks like a good idea.

NC is an open carry state so I have a custom made Kydex "holder" that I designed and will install it next to the shifter. I'm also designing a modular system that I can hold either my 870, AR, or UMP on the passenger side of console. It will have exchangeable retention systems for each weapon.

 

[Renagade132]

Cortinas316, you can probably add some velcro straps on the inside of the lid and strap some extra cartridges or an extra ammo box

Wild how most of us think alike. I carry my Kimber Ultra Carry II in my console with extra mags...........

Cajun Tiger, that looks good

 

[Cajun_Tiger_Hummer]

Thank you sir. It still needs a little tweaking for a cleaner look but I'm happy with it at the moment.

All it required was 4" thick foam from Hobby Lobby a exact-o knife and black foam spray paint. Cost about $15 buck and 2 hours to do.

I've seen gobs of AR's mounted in vehicles, never a UMP. Please don't forget to share a photo or two of that!

I use to work in the emergency equipment industry for undercover, PD's, and swat. Some of the undercover vehicles we did had some great weapon set ups. Especially if they installed the rear cargo Trunk Vault storage bins in the trunk area.

Nice job! I would suggest you make a hole right behind the backstrap for your thumb to grab pistol. Otherwise you risk putting your index finger in the trigger to grab it under stress.

[Cajun_Tiger_Hummer]

Thanks! and will do on the thumb hole. I'm about to make another one, a little bit cleaner looking and will definitely incorporate the thumb hole.

 

[rsc]

I was thinking the same thing. That does look good, nice and professional looking.

 

[Renagade132]

Really good idea ReconH3, I will do that for my at home stored one.

 

[Graham2990]

A bit of black paint once I confirm I'm happy with the position and my HK VP9 mount is good to go.

 

[Cortinas316]

GREAT IDEA! Not sure if I'll have the clearance but I am definitely gonna try!

I like this because u still have console room for stuff.

 

[Renagade132]

I agree, I like this idea too! Now for a spot for the extra clip and/or bullet box!

This gun just serves as a backup to my everyday on body carry. My on body I carry an extra magazine for.

Not a lot of point in carrying an extra box of rounds. Not very often you get a lull in a gunfight and have time to crack a fresh box.
