I have the misfortune of regular doctor visits and visits to other gun-free zones. My car has subwoofers under the front seats, so there’s no space for a Nano or Micro Vault type safe. I have yet to see a console safe for it probably because the console is too small. I currently have at least one Nano Vault back at the hatchback (under a “tonneau cover”), but shifting the gun from pocket/holster to safe while standing out in the open is less than ideal.
The Hornady Vehicle Rapid Safe (the one with the pump-up bladder) caught my eye recently, but it’s fairly expensive, so I’m a bit cautious. I’d love to hear from present and past users about the good and bad of the system.
Are there similar safes that are alternative to it? (one that would fit in the same space at the console)
The real issue with designs like that is the leash cable can be defeated fairly quickly and easily.
Don’t know what type of vehicle you have, but have you considered a console safe?
Like I said, I have yet to find a console safe for my older CRV - The Console is pretty small, so an insert is unlikely and it’s old enough that I doubt I’ll find a replacement safe.
brother i know your pain. i have been searching for a center console safe for my GMC Terrain with no luck. seen a few for other GMC SUV’s but not mine.
