I like this solution. I've also had thoughts about a vehicle holster, but I want a few things that you probably don't, since I'm not law enforcement.

I carry less than religiously but often enough to maintain the comfort with being armed that allows me to focus on other things besides whether or not my weapon is printing.

My considerations include:

1) I can't enter all establishements carrying, so I have to occassionally leave the weapon in the vehicle. Although the vehicle is locked, I don't feel as though I've done my duty unless the weapon is ALSO locked.

2) I believe that one of the most vulnerable moments in my day is when I'm entering my vehicle in the parking lot, late at night.

3) I believe that it is conceivable that an assault scenario could include an armed entry into my vehicle while it is stopped in city traffic (car jacking). Although an assailant could NOT enter the FJ from the rear doors, thanks to the suicide door setup, entry into the passenger seat or rushing the driver's side door with a weapon are both likely enough to warrant anticipatory preparation.

My idea of a best mounting position for a fixed holster is under the steering column.

Ideally, I'd like to build a mechanism that interlocks with the door lock system. I want it to drop a pin through the trigger guard when the door is locked, *unless* the engine is running. I want it to retract the pin when the door unlocks, either by key or by keyless remote.

I would use a kydex holster much like you did, although the SERPA style release may be more than I need.

I'd also wrap it in a band of steel which would through bolt into a metal bracket around the steering column. The locking pin would drop all the way through into the steel band.

I envision being able to reach it from standing beside the open driver's door, if accosted from behind while entering the vehicle. I would easily be able to access it from sitting in the driver's seat, too.

I think it's a marketable mod... have any thoughts?
