MOUNTED VEHICLE HOLSTER

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first, because no one in my circle of friends has one of these or knows anyone who has one (you get my drift....). For years, I had several failed attempts at fulling securing my holstered weapon - for easy deployment. There is a 30 day return policy (except light / laser bearing holsters) consequently, I decided to order this product to better accommodate my H&K P30L (9mm). For nearly 20 years my “standard” vehicle holster has been a $9 universal holster purchased from Academy with Velcro on either side. When entering my truck, I would unholster from my OWB kydex holster. Then slip into the universal holster, flip the holstered weapon upside down, pointing towards the motor, and slide it into a pocket on the side of my center console. Keep in mind, with tactical training, and situational awareness, this storage scenario puts you at an extreme disadvantage! If a situational occurs and I needed to deploy my weapon, first, I had to grab the holstered weapon, remove from the center console pocket. Then use my left hand to grip the universal holster to slide the weapon out of the universal holster. At this point I could swing left and present the weapon. At first glance, it might not seem to be a huge problem. However, if you had a criminal at your window attempting a car jacking, or worse smashed your window - extra steps and seconds could be the matter of life or death. Not to mention your left arm would be occupied dealing with the threat! For many years, I've looked for different ways to mount my universal holster. To be honest, my most successful “mount” was that I stapled a strip of heavy duty velcro to the side of my company vehicles center console. This worked for the most part. Unfortunately, sometimes the holstered weapon would fall on the floor board if I hit a bump, or just do to gravity… So moving forward to present day.... I purchased this holster with obvious skepticism, from years of failed attempts to fully secured my weapon in the vehicle. As I placed my order, I added some comments about considering adding a red dot sight to my H&K P30L. A few days later Alia P. contacted me asking if I wanted to add the RMR cut to the holster in the event I wanted to add the optics. Honestly, I was a bit surprised as no one has ever contacted me from comments on an order before. I decided to add this option to my order. Alia was very responsive to my emails, and very professional and polite! (Thank you!!!) The RAM mounted vehicle holster was received several days before expected! I watched the video at the bottom of the web page. [John great job explaining this!] Installation seemed easy enough. After much consideration, I decided to install the mounting pad on the bottom right corner of my center dash cover (similar to the video). One thing I wanted was extra stability for the mount. The holster is kydex, with adjustable levels of retention, from the two screws on the mount. There is a snap when installing and resistance when removing (all typical for form fitting kydex). What I was concerned about was ripping the mount off the console. This is plastic resembling the leather on the rest of my truck. Therefore the location I chose was so I could also drill holes through the bracket behind this location for extra stability. The mount comes with four short & four long pan head screws with and five nuts (one extra). To accommodate the chosen location, I had to buy some longer screws to go through the console bracket. The screw lengths I needed were 30mm & 35mm. After the installation was finished I could not have been more pleased! Having used this holster for several days, (hate to use the cliché term) I can’t see how I lived without this! I am very impressed with this holster and have encouraged all my 2A friends to purchase one. This has been a truly great experience for me. I will be purchasing a few more mounts to put in my other vehicles. The holster and linkage can be removed, leaving the mount installed! Thank you, DARA Holsters, for creating a fabulous product!

This is the second one of these I've purchased from DH. Both are used as under-the-desk mounts in both my offices. Best rig I have ever found for the application.

THIS PRODUCT COULDN'T HAVE FIT MY WEAPON ANYMORE PERFECT HAD SOME ISSUES WITH MOUNTING BECAUSE OF MY DASH DESIGN WITHOUT HAVING TO COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLING MY DASH SO I REMOVED MY ASH TRAY AND MOUNTED IT TO THAT WORKS PERFECTLY

Hands down the best vehicle mount holster system out there for the money. I went with this mounting system because it's very much like the one I use in my big rig truck to hold my handheld device. Very solid and gives you many options on mounting angles. All the materials used are top quality and I'm very pleased with this mount and holster. Be prepared to wait if your placing a special order but when you receive your order you'll see that the wait was worth it.

Install was easier than I expected. Holds firm to the panel below the steering wheel. Doesn't shake or sag and is easy to draw. This was my first Dara product and I'll definitely be back for more.

You can have your weoapon in your course or on your hip when driving... but when it's right there... you got a fighting chance when it's a quick situation. This product I believe gives you a better chance of having the upper hand when you may need it. Plus it's made well and holds my Kimber like a glove.

I previously have tried a few other much less quality vehicle based holsters until I ordered and received my DARA Glock 26 holster with Streamlight TLR-6 mold. DARA's customer service was also 5 star as I received a few emails for clarification prior to completion, from their staff. It was a 15 minute no-brainer installation with RAM mount and works perfectly in my RV. I'll certainly order a few more for my other vehicles.

Bought this holster for my G19 w/XC-1 light. Great fit. Ended up using Tough Claw adapter to clamp on my seat bar under drivers seat of my MB GLK. Got the ball on the right side of holster and perfect placement low front left of seat with Tough claw. Being left handed tough to find in car mounted holster that fits the bill. This set up is perfect.

Very well made rig. Perfect holster to gun fit. Light weight and mounts very solid. Once the ball joint is tightened, the entire assembly and gun stay where they are adjusted.
