Tarmac and tires, people. Whenever you’re driving your car, make sure you can see the tarmac and tires of the vehicle in front of you. That way you’ll have a chance to drive around the car ahead should the need arise. Which it would during an attempted robbery or carjacking. Because no matter how fast you are at unholstering a firearm in your vehicle, flexing your right foot is faster . . .
You can use your vehicle to escape or counter-attack as needs be. [NB: It’s not clear if the driver above faced an imminent threat of death or grievous bodily harm as he ran over the perps. Let’s go with yes.] The wider point: a gun fight is a fight with a gun. The first and most important element is the word “fight.”
If you can’t escape, use the best (i.e. the quickest and most violent) tool/method to attack your assailant. That may involve your firearm and it may not. Don’t forget the “not” part of the equation.
Equilibrium anyone? It would be perfect for a Grammaton Cleric.
Cool!
I carry a concealed F-150 at all times.
Damn. I bet that’s a big holster. Bianchi?

Fixed it for ya. Nice to know all those unemployed Ma Bell employees can now find gainful employment.
This takes all the fun out of pistol whipping someone.
You’re all missing the point. This nifty device allows you to eject the magazine when it runs dry, and then easily retrieve it later. You’ll find it conveniently stuck upright in the floor, without the danger of it skidding away.
…or perhaps conveniently stuck in your own thigh or foot, depending on your position when you drop it.
RF,
Was this before or after the AVN convention when you obtained both near and far vision…Just askin’ Glad it works for firearms too….
It’s better to drive your way out of Dodge than to shoot your way out of Dodge.
But it’s still nice to have a gun.
I think it’s a fantastic idea!
As an NRA basic pistol instructor, I’ve always wanted a way to get students to stop using the cup-and-saucer grip. I think this could do it.
I just love seeing dirt bags being schooled! Awesome
AAAHHHHHH ! The truck, it’s defending itself somehow… I know, I’ll hide behind the motor bike ! It can’t hurt me then ! 🙂
I wonder what the ft.-lbs. of energy pick-ups tout at human impact???
I recall an epiphany that an old mentor laid on me many years ago; I was sitting in my car at the local shooting spot attempting different techniques for engaging a target placed beside the car and partially to the rear of my drivers window. I had was becoming a contortionist as I tried to find the most rapid and effective movement to bring my pistol to bear on the target with something approaching a sight picture and had begun to wonder if I should simply learn to shoot blindly over my shoulder (we are talking about a target less than 3 feet away and visible in my side view mirror). The grizzled old timer comes around to the passengers side and gets in, asking about the challenge I’ve set up and I explained it to him. He reached out, started the engine and began cutting the wheel to the right. I looked at him, wondering what he was up to when he said “Shift it into reverse and floor it!” The solution was that obvious but I’d been focused on the pistol as the weapon, completely ignoring the fact that the problem only existed when seated in the drivers seat of a much more powerful weapon altogether. It pays to think in terms of speed and violence of action rather than a specific response to a given situation. The goal is to ‘win’, and that might be best accomplished by a unique action that only applies in that one specific situation . . .really, how many times does one have a life and death fight? Just win (meaning don’t die), it doesn’t have to be elegant, just effective.
This might be the dumbest thing to ever make any a million dollars. There are enough tactical douches out there who would leap at this. Ooh, let’s paint it lime green and put a zombie biohazard sign on it while we’re at it.
If they make one for a .380 mousegun you won’t need to complain about “that pinky that hangs off the bottom”…. it would be “that pinky on the floor”.
I love the hell out of this article. Great job!
The are gorgeous, and we certainly have an atavistic affinity for beautiful wood handles on our tools, but is anyone, anywhere, developing an alternative material for stocks and other usually wood hardware that is rational replacement and does not look like cheap plastic? Other than the laminates, I mean.
This could even apply to the tactical firearms market since most of the MSRs (AR/AK variants) either look like crappy plastic or really crappy wood.
Just wonderin’ while I drool over these.
The myth of stopping power once again. Those 2 turds got squashed by a truck and still managed to bounce and run. Nobody that’s serious about self defense drives anything with wheels. It’s tracks or nothing.
This and a can of liberal tears gun oil for art work in my shop.
Where’s my wallet…
Home owner food for thought:
Replace the interior door and door frame on your bathroom with something more substantial, like a security door with more substantial hardware. Store a pre-paid cell phone, a flash light, and some power bars in there in a pelican case. Makes a good safe room, especially for families. In an adult household add a ruger gp100 to the pelican case.
