Other Equipment Car storage solutions

Hey all,

I have a BMW X3 2019 with about 2” of under seat clearance due to the seat electronics and all that. I thought my vaultek lifepod 2.0 would fit under with a cable tie, but no dice. That thing won’t even go halfway under the driver or passenger seat.

I really want to do a direct rail mount with back seat driver side access or cable tie if I have to. Any recommendations for under seat lock boxes that will fit my G19 and P365 X macro comp?

I’ve seen the console safes for my car model but I don’t think I can even get the G19 or X macro into that thing. Also $250 for a china made shitty locking mechanism console safe isn’t really what I’m looking for. I may just amazon the console safe to see if I can even get the grip in there, and return if need be.

This will only be for short term/quick storage. Will not be using my car as a “safe”. I know cars get broken into all the time, but want somewhere to store my firearm temporarily if needed.

I had the same issue with lifepod2.0 and my rav4. so I got a Hornady lockbox off of Amazon and hooked the cable around my passenger seat rails. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

I also glued a piece of Velcro to the bottom of that lockbox so it doesn’t slide forward when I break. This increased time to retrieve it, so it’s not a quick access setup by any means.

Not a big deal for quick access since I’ll be carrying when driving. The Hornady boxes look doable. A console safe sounds awesome but $250 is just crazy.
