    The "Stack-on" unit will hold a: J-frame , combat commander / S&W M39-2. Just an idea of size.

      You're talking about this one?



      Looks as though it would fit beneath a seat with the cable secured to the base of the seat track. Providing of course your power seat motors allow for enough space at the front. It's also transferable from one vehicle to another.
      It would take a hefty pair of dykes to gnaw through the cable. Provides a good enough stall to deter the average grab-n-go thief.

        Yep, that's it!

        Is the sidearm shown a 3.5"1911 trpe?
        Wish they would issue two cables, when bought. Buying a couple more , one for the wife's car and the other for being able to swap-out different firearms.

        A long length locker would be grat for hold a K-Frame 4"!

              I drive a POS car, no one wants to steal it, heck haven’t even lost the loose change in the cup holder. If you run a lock box, conceal it well. The turds where I work would see it, break the window and pry it out. Take the whole thing. Spend two days trying to pry it open, when they couldn’t would throw the hole thing in the river.

                I used to carry a Browning Hi-Power. On the rare occasion when I had to leave it in the car, I'd take the slide off and put that in the glove compartment and put the frame under the seat and put the slide stop in my pocket. My thinking was that if my car was broken into or stolen, the pistol wouldn't be readily usable. I'd still worry about it anyway.

                  I did something similar when passing through Chicago. That way they couldn't say I had a gun. I only had "parts"
                  thankfully, I never got stopped or had an accident or a need for any emergency type services!
                  I won't even pass through the corner of CA, NY, or IL anymore. Screw em.

                    Just drive a car that's already stolen and carry a stolen gun. If you're ripped off then no sweat and the heat is on them now and off of you. A win win situation.

                      You're lucky you didn't get stopped. Gun parts and ammunition components were considered firearms by Chicago. Outside a locked case away from the drivers compartment you were technically transporting illegally through the city. Something as minor as a spent 9mm case on the floor could have done the trick. And you guys thought Chicago banned handguns alone?

                        I don't drive through Chicago with any type of firearms. I shoot the Midwest Palma match every June in Wisconsin and then go visit my daughter and son in law in NW Ohio. I go south through Iowa and catch I80 east to avoid the Chicago tolls and gun laws. Just don't want the hassle and risk.

                            Really? I had the frame in a LOCKED box in the backmost part of the SUV and the slide in a suitcase If I remember correctly.
                            it that is illegal, they truly are INSANE!

                              A firearm constitutes any component/parts and/or ammunition or its components. I don't think the average blue&white would bother with you. Might even tell you how to stow it legally. However not all of them are very common sense street savvy anymore.
