Right, I was asking recommendations like brand / model / cable. I only have experience with the larger safes I’ve never really looked at those little ones.

There’s a bunch of them from $20-$40 for the simple cable lock keyed ones.
I had a console vault safe in my subaru legacy.
My girlfriend bought me an electronic one. I can’t remember who makes it. I used it in my f33 and now my f39.

Oh it’s a vaultek lifepod 2.0

Ugh, went to order a SA Hellcat and everyone within 30min of me appears to be out of stock. Really frustrating since my cousin was able to order/receive his about 2 weeks ago. Was hoping to have a new toy by my birthday end of next week.

I think most of those types of boxes are all about the same...
cheap metal and cheaper locks...

Here are a couple of options that I found that may work for
under your seat type of install... (random search / I do not
have any experience with either company or product).

I think I like the look of the 2nd one better (more secure) but

1. not sure on height fitting underneath the seat
2. not sure it's wide enough to fit a compact or full size vs only a subcompact. Says 5" wide but a G19 is 5.04" from sights to mag plate.

The search continues but thanks for the links, gives me a starting point. Maybe I'll fab something up similar to the 2nd one but with the profile of the 1st one...

Get used to it for a while. NICs is averaging over 4 million checks a month this year. Back in the early 2000's - that was over 6 MONTHS worth of checks. I track this for a report at work and it has hit a new record every other month or so - it's still insanely busy. I've been in the industry for 30 years and this is the worst I have seen it, ever. I went though Black Talon rush, Assault Weapons Ban rush, Obama rush, but this one is by far the worst.

Local gun shops in my non-gunfriendly state went from having nothing but shitty revolvers in their case a couple months back to pretty much having anything you could realistically want, in stock, within the last 2 weeks.

Point is that, even though this is the 'NKOTB' with respect to conceal carry hotness, it should still be pretty easy to get one; especially a 'vanilla' version. Might just have to dig and/or order one for transfer, that's all.

TLDR: how bad do you really want it?

I have a granddaughter with Cystic Fibrosis / when I found out that Amazon had the "smile" option supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - it was a no brainer for me! Every little bit helps go a long way...

That's great. I donate to a charity raising money to help find a cure for a rare genetic disorder (TECPR2) that a little boy where I live has. The UF genetic department has started their research and hopefully a cure will be found.

Hahaha no! Just was looking for in-stock 9mm's (similar to the Hellcat & P365) and found this one and it was listed $65 below MSRP, which was nice. Happy Birthday to me!

I know this an old post and you have probably sorted your purchase out already. I have a gun shop in MD. A lot of dealers can either plug or pin the magazines for you. It's a good solution if you want the standard capacity magazines and not the 10 rounders.

We can't have modern pistols in UK even for firing range, the closest we can have are something that look like from the film Pirates of the Carrabean lol
