I have been wanting to mount a holster in my vehicle for a while now. Something to use when I am going to be sitting in the car for a while and it would be more comfortable to remove the pistol from my holster on me, and put it someplace secure and still accessible. After some Google Fu I thought that the G-Code OSH holsters with their RTI mount would fit the bill well. Easy to remove the holster when I do not want it there, plus it is easy to use multiple holsters for multiple weapons. For this project I was going to be mounting the holster on the drivers side of the center console. The holster ends up near the drivers upper calf of their right leg. Here are a few pics. FYI, for a holster mounted in this spot you would have to be using a LEFT side holster.
First thing I did was place the RTI Wheel Mount where I wanted it and drilled a few holes. 
That would work just fine to mount directly to the side of the center console but I did not like how close the weapon was to the side. I could get the weapon in and out of the holster but not with a good grip. 
To push the Mounting Wheel a little further away from the side, I cut some .5" diameter PVC pipe to a .75" length. 
Then did a test fit. 
I liked that distance so I wrapped the PVC with some black tape. 
Then mounted it up with some #10 Machine Screws with Nylock nuts holding them tight on the back. 
I hope that this helps someone else looking for a similar solution. Phil |
