I have heard that Rohrbaugh is considering one of these eventually -- but I would like to have an "extended" 10 round magazine with a little more grip on it -- like NAA offers.
I wouldnt carry the gun with one, but it would be nice for the glovebox or somewhere else nearby.
-
I would use a 10 rounder more for practice. I like the glove box idea, by the Rohrbaugh was purchased as a deep concealment pocket pistol. I would be more apt to keep my Glock 19 in a glove box.
-
That takes us on an interesting tangent. I go back and forth about having a "car gun." My hesitation is a few things -- it could be stolen (which I don't want to happen for any variety of reasons), it makes life more difficult for car washes, valet parking, etc., and I don't like the idea of being stopped by a LEO and coughing up several loaded weapons, a knife, etc.
Lately I have been carrying only one gun and carrying some reloads in the car -- together with a backup flashlight, etc.
Who carries "car guns" in addition to whatever you are packing on your person?

Duane ... very rare for me to carry anything extra as a car (truck!) gun ... just now and again I have had an auto stashed in glove box but not regularly. I do tho keep a coupla extra speedloaders in there for my SP-101 ... but that gun is always on my hip ... ALL the time.
Exceptions have been when travelling further, with wife along too .... and the spare becomes hers if we are motelling over night etc.
I guess, for myself - I reckon, if I can't get outa trouble with my daily ''usual'' then I'm probably screwed anyways.!
-
I generally only have what i'm personally carrying, though I'll admit I've often thought about a "trunk gun" - something substantial that I could get at if need be.
I've not done it so far, primarily out of fear it might get stolen.
-
I carry a firearm in my car only for a specific purpose. The longest that I had a firearm in my car was maybe 4 months.
-
Although I have never done it, I have often thought of having a good auto body man build a special, concealed, easily accessable, compartment into one of my vehicles to put something heavy in. Maybe someday I will. I do generally carry extra ammo in my car.
-
On cable, I've seen several specials on armored automobiles. In many, they build in gun lockers, and I admit, it would be cool to own one.
-
I carried a weapon in the car for years -- prior to obtaining my FL CWL in '94. I never had it stolen -- as a matter of fact, I've been fortunate to never experience a break-in in an automobile. As others stated, it did become a pain when going to places where the firearm needed to be removed (car washes, service centers, etc.). Especially, military bases. I've checked them at the front gate -- but it is time intensive.
Since obtaining my first "always" gun, I guess I stopped carrying the car gun routinely. If traveling, I may still add something a little larger in the car.
I might add, my airplane has a pistol on board 24/7 (.22 WMR semi-auto with 4 30-round mags and an additional 200 rounds of ammo) -- more of a survival tool than personal protection -- but it has it's own special place in the baggage compartment.

I have been a "Road Warrior" that is a salesperson that spends a LOT of time on the road - for all my adult life. I carry a LOT of valuable tools and "just in case" stuff in my trunk and have since I started driving legally.
Currently this includes a printer, a scanner, lots of business files, tools, emergency gear, etc. In addition I carry, at times, a couple of pistols and ammo for the ocassional few minutes to stop by a range for some bullseyes. I keep my laptop case with me or in the trunk too. Access to my trunk is ONLY via the keys on my belt or my remote opener - the opening buttons inside the car are locked. Sometimes I carry a .22 Pappoose takedown rifle as well... Although a stolen gun would be a very unhappy situation for me; there are many other things in my car that would be equally or greater loses with equal or greater consequences for me.

Mr. Jody Hudson:
I've followed your postings and checked your website (which is excellent, by the way). Once upon a time, long ago and in a former life, I believe I almost called you regarding one of your listed beachfront properties. But that was long ago and in a former life. I have now retreated to the mountains, where I have circled my wagons in a cul-de-sac.
Welcome to the Forum, and the best of luck to you and your lovely partner in your business.

Thanks! ;D ;D

New member comment:
10 round mag would be great to have available. I hope they do produce it later - and the sight modification discussed elsewhere. I am about to order R9s. Or, maybe try to find dealer that has one left.
-
A 10 rounder would be nice for the range and also for the occasion when a bit more "firepower" would be helpful..
Kind of like having a G17 mag on hand for the G26..Or how about the G18.. ;D

In this day and time, one never knows what will happen. I have a gun in the car all the time, ie: Ruger speed six with spurless hammer in stnls., with 2 speed loaders. Even after having the car broken into twice the wheel gun is still there. I have it in the bottom of a box of kleenix with all the tissues on top, wedged between the seat and something else thats hard. No one gives it a second thought or look. Grab the tissues and throw them in the air to get their attention and then grab the gun out. Its in stnls., so rust is not a problem and it does not cost a whole lot of money. Keep the serial # listed some where so if its stolen you can report it. In addition have your carry gun with you at all times, more often than not its now the R9S. or a .45acp. Tom

I've tried carrying more ammo and never been comfortable with it. I feel much better carrying a backup to my primary carry. When driving for a ways , I now carry my Keltec32 in my neck holster. I've never found another carry method that allows quick access with seatbelts and a shoulder strap. When I flew for the military, I used to slide my sidearm to a position between my legs to protect the......... and easy access, but that was open carry with a separate belt.

I carry an S&W airlight hammerless 38spl in the car at all times, with hydroshoks and frangibles -- haven't gotten my Rohrbaugh yet -- will have it in a couple days -- I like the Pachmayer grips on my 38 -- it points very well for me, and I had a "spook" when I really should have had a gun in the car -- nothing serious, just a very stupid man acting oddly when I was walking from the house, w. my 1911 in the briefcase, to my truck -- and decided that I have no reason not to be armed -- my Dad's truck got broken into once, and they didn't touch his shotgun. Between the alarm going off, etc -- if you don't have something that screams "gun" I don't think they'll look for it

I was just discussing this very topic with my father this past weekend. Given how a car heats up during the day, I'd be concerned with the increased chamber pressure on the semi-auto guns.
OTOH, a wheel gun in the car makes perfect sense. I could see picking up an S&W 340PD and feeling perfectly safe - lightweight, maintenance free, and reliable. Maybe I'd Install some lasergrips on it. The only thing I'm still not over is being uneasy worrying that someone could steal my car / gun and commit some other crime with it.
The kleenex box is definetly a cool approach, but I'm afraid I just don't have that kind of luck. ;)
-
The kleenex box is too simple for bad guys, they would never think that anything but tissues are in the box. It has worked for me for years and my car broken into 2 times. Tom

Living in Florida, I find the heat in a car that has been sitting is tremendous, so other then keeping some ammo in the car I would not like to leave my gun do to the extreme heat...Gemini
-
I live near Dallas, Tx where the heat is mostly near or above 100 degrees during the summer. I keep cd's in the car in the door's side pocket and to my surprise, they are not damaged in the least after 1 1/2 summers. Now if they were on the dash, I would have a puddle of plastic. I believe direct sunlight is the bad here, not just the ambient heat in the car. I've had my gun in the car for hours while attending a gun show and just came back to a warm gun, but of course, it wasn't left in sight or direct sunlight.
How hot does it get in Florida?
-
Sometimes it comes down to the question: Is it accessible?
If we have a gun buried deep within our pockets as we drive, I doubt many of us could quickly retrieve that weapon.
My 'second gun' is there for that purpose as well as serving as the wife's punctuator. When she says 'No!', she means it. ;)
-
Doctordun, I am a dealer in Dallas. I hope to meet you some day. As a former board member of the Dallas Arms Collectors Assn.,the promoter, I do the Dallas Market Hall gun shows. With the hot summers in Dallas, I have lady customer, who wonders if the Keltec frame will melt in a hot summer car. haha We should re cycle our ammo left in the car during the summer. Regards, Tom
-
I think the 10 round magazine is an excellent idea! I just ordered an Alabama Holster spare magazine holder for my support hand pocket. The 10 rounder would be used all the time.
If any of you have clout with Rohrbaugh you should plant that seed and see if anything grows.

My EDC in the hot weather is a .380 Seecamp in the back pocket. I always carry a .357 in the vehicle for quick access if needed. I don't feel that I could put the .380 into play as quickly from a sitting position.
