R55 Have you tried out your Gun Safe; er, Secret Compartment?

Hmm, I've been wanting to check to see if my Sig 226 9mm or 40 will fit in there, somehow I think they might be too big. I think maybe my Springfield XD 9mm would. Anyone try these in their compartments. Haven't really had the motivation since I live in L.A. and its virtually impossible to get a CCW, so I usually only transport my guns when I go to the range. When I travel thats another story.
Just curious, the secret compartment isn't considered a glove compartment is it?, if it isn't then I guess I could legally put a gun in there so long as it was unloaded and the magazine and ammo were not with it.

If OXYBLUE says a P220 will fit, then a P226 should too. i'd say a XD compact should fit as well.

Seattle, a great auto to have is an H&K P2000 in .40 cal. I rarely go shooting anymore but the last time out, I shot one of these and it had one of the best double action only trigger pulls from the factory I have experienced. It is small and easy to handle. I have no idea what the price is though but I think it is worth what they are asking.

Seattle, don't be so confident. Owning and using a firearm is a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly. In a gun fight you will always default to your lowest level of training. If you have no serious and professional training that is what you will default to. No one does what they think they will do in a gun fight or any confrontation unless they have trained heavily for that specific situation.

I know... I was just tought growing up shoting with my dad that you never pull a gun on an attacker unless you intend on using it. I sure as heck wouldn't get in any gun fights... I am only saying that if I was attacked in my home or while working at an open house or such that I would do whatever means neccesary to protect my body and my life. That's all I'm saying, its not that I'm confident, one only knows how they will react when they are put in that situation. Thankfully I have not been in that situation and hopefully it stays that way.

You should look into the handgun safety seminar at the Firearms Academy of Seattle. Reasonable cost (used to be free), although the drive can be a haul, but an excellent class to go through even if you've shot before.

Para's P12 is NOT regarded as an easy weapon to break down and clean.
Unscrewing a piece to access other components. What's up with that.
Still a 45 cal has maximum stopping power. Buying range ammo requires a 2nd mortgage.
This might be a thread for a different website, completely.

west covina, CA? i'd be careful if i were you. Even if you used the repair loophole, some local LEOs aren't as informed. Then, even if you win in court, you're down 30k in legal fees. If you aren't using the repair route, then i suggest editing your post just in case.

, but i would only carry them to the range and back. 
I figured you were joking, but just in case... i've had people post stuff like that on another forum who we found out later was not joking when the subpoena came for this PMs a few years back.
btw, you dont happen to be one of the MCSs i see heading E on I-10 past Holt every morning would you?

Gotcha thanks!!! I'll have to check that out when my car gets here!
I'm looking into getting a permit to carry a 9... I don't know much about guns, I grew up shooting them (my dad has a collection from 9's to AK47's) But my hubby thinks I should have one because I am a real estate agent and I'm always by myself in vacant houses with strange men... lol

My commute is on local street 100% so I doubt it's me. I've seen 2 other mellow yellow MCS but usually I see them heading to 60.
