My wonderful wife got me an early birthday present today. Springfield XDM 9. Usually carry something with us 99% of the time. Was starting to look at options to lock one up in the rzr. My seats are so wide I don’t know that a center console/armrest safe will fit. Do they make something MOLLE that’s waterproof that will go on a bombshell door bag mounting system thingy? Or are the armrest’s better fitting than it looks like in pics online with aftermarket seats?
Probably I should say locked up while stopped on the trail and riding. I have a little pack I carry in Now in the passenger seat. Easy to get to. Bag only big enough for a small frame pistol now. Was exploring my options...guessing something more secure while riding than in the bag in case of a rollover.

I recently purchased the locking door thing that Hardline ATV was advertising. It replaces the netting on the passenger side dash of my rzr. Not sure what you have. I locked mine up in there last night. I put my .45 Shield in there still in the holster and had plenty of room. I typically carry mine in the door bag or center console area when not away from the rzr.
You can change out the quarter turn latch on the glove box to a keyed quarter turn latch to secure your property while away from the machine. It’s not Fort Knox, but will slow down a thief. Couldn’t find size or supplier that I used. You would have to make some measurements to spec out a keyed latch.
Our little ride group was accosted by an armed idiot on the trail one time. Total of four machines. The lead guy had a weapon that he could not get at, second guy was not armed, 3rd guy (retired police officer) was armed, but couldn’t get at his weapon without unbuckling his seat belt.
I carry something that works. A custom made cross draw that I can access while wearing the click 6 harness, with a Ruger Redhawk .44 Remington Magnum. I was tailgunning and had the dipchit covered if he would have pulled a trigger. If we go in some place, I will slip a shirt over it and all has always been cool.
I just wish I was as proficient and confident with my weapon as I was 35-40 years ago. Then I could nail a running coyote at 100 yards about 90% of the time. Not so much any more.
Just for fun, this was with one of my rifles. Just over 10 years ago.
.204 Ruger caliber
700 Rem action, glass bedded, douglas barrel varmint profile
8.5 -25 Leupold LRV Scope, 30mm tube, 56 mm objective
10 rounds @ 100 yds
Of course, that was from a bench And taking my time.
It’s a UTV giant console safe that I modified to work with my seats. I keep a SccY 9mm in it incase I forget the one that I carry on me when on the trails. It’s not a fast and easy access but the SccY 9 is a permanent part of my RZR. You can’t have enough guns stored around imo.
Nice cross draw holster! Well if you can’t hit the target just point and shoot, the noise will scare them away and your chances are pretty good you will something down range
I switched over from .223 to Russian 7.62x39 , thinking I would save some money and still be able to practice… not so much it’s still .50 a round. May as well just throw quarters down range. Miss the days when I was mad .223 was .20 a round.
I carry a Ruger Lcp ii, fits in my cup holder. Normally have a rifle with me too, so no need for the oh your under powered comments.
As a side note; I have an old rear window pickup gun rack mounted in the RZR Just like they used to go in the pickup. Carry either a short barreled 12 ga. Mossberg 500 or a Ruger Ranch rifle Mini 14 w 30 round mag in that. I.E. “Snake Spray” for snakes with or without legs!
I carry a wheel gun in the zippered bag over my head. Most days it's a 22 Mag and some days, it's my pre-hammer block Ruger GP100 357 Mag. I love that thing. Most accurate pistol I've ever owned.
When I get out it goes in a pocket or iwb middle of my back. When I was younger I used to carry the hand cannons, but realized 90% of the time, I hated carrying that much weight. I carry this 100% of the time and it very easy to conceal. When I go into the city or ride in a bad area, I carry my M&P .45. All my pistols run Hornady critical defense. The ammo is just as important as the gun.

Pop guns are fine too. I also have a .380 that goes everywhere with me. Have even been into my chiropractor and when I got on the table think “Oh shit” and have to take it out of my pocket so as not to interfere with the adjustment. He just laughs!
That crossdraw rig actually lets the weight sit mostly on my lap when riding.
As soon as Trump took office and components and ammo was available I restocked my supplies that had dwindled during Obama's reign. I bought a bunch more before the PlanDemic hit as well. My Dillon can go buuurrrrrrr for a very long time!!!
I made my own mount. I took some strong neodymium magnets and attached good old 3M VHB tape to one side. Then I stuck four magnets to my Hellcat, peeled the liner off the. HB, and pressed the gun in place where I wanted it to be. Left it there for a little while and then took the gun off.
Cheap, flexible and does the job. When not riding, the gun either goes in my locked storage bow of with me.
Yes, there are certain places where you can’t carry and you mentioned them. A business that has a No Firearms or similar sign, and is not on the exclusion list, can only ask you to leave the building should you enter it with you Gun and get caught. They can’t do anything more unless you refuse to leave.
I found this interesting when I took my Carry class.
I’m referring to Georgia, I always make sure I look up laws for when I’m traveling. I’m not knowledge in other states though, so my comments only pertain to my state.
