Nice ! I’ve been casting longing glances that way as I have more 9MM ammo to shoot than anything. Where did you get your parts? What barrel length did you choose? What buffer system did you decide on? Did you get LRBO?

Thanks,
Gene

This whole thing blows..I just want to enjoy my freedoms or whats left of it in peace.

I did lots of researches and bought my parts online from lots of places. I went with a 9.5 in barrel and the rail is 10.5 in, I went with JP Enterprises Silent Captured Springs 9mm Buffer to use with Maxim CQB PDW pistol brace. JP Enterprises 9mm Bolt Carrier. I went with ar15 lower and using EndoMags. Hiperfire Hipertouch Eclipse 2lb trigger.

My companion running errands today:

Is that a P238? My wife has one and its a jewel. Easy to shoot and the quickest back on target of any of my handguns.

Saw this thread-----glad to see some interest in firearms. I have a few and enjoy collecting and shooting. Competed in 1k bench rest for a time but work and the travel kind of took too much time.

My latest--have not shot it yet but Colt is making the Anaconda again. Got it a couple of weeks ago.

These are also mine. Marc is also a friend of mine and I have "some" of his work. It is a fault of mine---I enjoy the good stuff.

I refuse to answer the question on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me

Figured I'd ask here for more direct visibility to my question and a bit more discretion vs starting a thread -

What're you guys using / what solutions have you found for CCW storage when you have to leave your carry gun in the car for some reason? I use ConsoleVault for my SUV / trucks but they don't make anything for BMWs. I'd like to have something a bit more secure than the little loose wallet style safes that you throw under a seat, someone can still run off with that easily. Don't want to have something obvious like a range bag either though. Not sure on a solution at the moment.

We have our range/home 9mm and 22LR (both S&W) and looking at Ruger LCP II .380 for conceal.

Anyone try the newer version ? thoughts ?

Don't leave guns in your car

about someone storing in car ? I was asking about the new Ruger .380 and if you have shot.

[upstatedoc]

You said you were looking at a .380 for concealed. My post further back shows my pocket 9 mm. Those are my thoughts

My "thoughts" was clearly in regards to the Ruger, and I stated I have a 9mm. but thx...I think.

Something I've done for the past four vehicles... in the trunk or rear hatch area (suv)... behind either a removable panel or easily movable side panel...

I've mounted one of those cheap metal (16ga or 20ga) lock boxes typically used with the wrap around cable and tossed under the seat - type of safes.
Bolted to a cross member, or glued to a floor pan or sidewall...

combination lock - so i never have to worry about an extra key.

If somebody wants it bad enough, yes, they can gain access with some basic hand tools... but it most certainly is not grab-n-go easy, which serves my purpose for temporary storage when needed.

I'd prefer something where I can disarm and stow before I get out of the driver's seat. Never know who's watching you come around the back and stuff it in the trunk, that just stands out as atypical behavior and might make some more curious than they need to be.

Any recommendations on the lock boxes?

The under seat lockbox with the cable will prevent a smash and grab. Nothing will stop a thief who steals your car or has the time to cut the cable. I assume most thieves aren't actively searching for a gun in lockbox, so they aren't carrying bolt cutters.

If you can't carry your gun on you, and you can't fit a Console Vault in your car, then those cable-secured boxes are the next best option.
