My “truck” gun is...

[parabelum]

PS90 with 50rd mag loaded with green tip ammo and a single point sling (urbanertslings) and sight mark red dot . Reasons: lightweight setup with lots of firepower, deploys quickly and target acquisition is super fast, recoil is next to nothing allowing for precision and very quick follow up shots, it is reliable (600+ rds with no wobbles so far), simple takedown/cleaning, VERY compact, 5.7x28 green tip 27gr may not be super awesome but it is very accurate and it’s lethality and overall effectiveness is proven. Another 4 50rd mags are on tap.

How about you?

Mine is my backpack gun. The backpack goes where I go. Its a 10.5" barreled .300 blackout with a Law Tactical folding stock, Shockwave blade, some other nice goodies, and an AimPoint Pro. 20 rounder stays in it, 2 30 rounders ready to go with another 2 holsters that can hold 2 more mags. The holsters were universal velcro for Molle Web but work perfect for mags.

Those are the exact reasons I built mine.

I do need a sling but can't decide which one to get.

Nice setup! And I like the backpack idea with pistol AR platform. If you have to sling it, well unless it’s an SBR and you have the papers you really got to have it concealed. Main reason I did not go to a AR Pistol platform. Had a noveske pistol few years back and that was a sweet shooter!

[jason812]

I didn't think about a sling and a pistol being a problem. However if it has to come out of the pack, I have bigger things to worry about.

Wait...you can't have a sling on an AR pistol?

I've got a sling on mine! But...I don't carry it that way unless on my own property or with permission on a range. The whole "handgun is carried in a shoulder or belt holster" thing. I don't think I ever saw anybody convinced that my simple one-point sling is a shoulder holster. "But...but...it's over my shoulder!"

Well I don't really have a truck. I have Honda Pilot and an Accord. My "Truck Gun" is my Ruger P95. It's a tough gun, and I don't worry about it if it rolls around a little in a console or side pocket. Accurate, reliable, The Stainless and plastic is as weatherproof as it gets. If it picks up a few nicks and scratches no one will ever notice.

I've though about mounting my 10/22 , but haven't figured out a way to secure it, while hidden and still have fast access. Maybe it's time to consider a 9mm takedown model

[The Annoyed Man]

I switch back and forth between having a suppressed 11.5” SBR in 5.56 or a Ruger PC9 in my vehicle.

I keep a 20-round mag in the SBR and the suppressor always mounted. It has an Aimpoint T2 Micro with a 3X magnifier on a flip to side mount attached. And, SBR in the car or not, I always have a lightweight chest rig stored in my vehicle with six spare 30-round AR mags and two spare G17 mags in mag pouches. Rifle ammo is mostly 55 grain SP, with a couple of mags of Green Tip. For a rifle case, I just use a cheap black nylon carbine-length case since it blends well with the carpet on the floor of my vehicle's back seats (4Runner), and if I have to grab the rifle and ditch the case, there’s no real loss of value. Come to think of it, I also keep four spare 30-round mags in the exterior pockets of the rifle case. Those can go in cargo pockets if need be. If I have to get the SBR out and carry it, it has a sling, and I have bigger problems than the need to conceal it. I’m kind of a proponent of the idea that, if you think you’re going to have an imminent pressing need for a gun, you should probably already have it in your hand. Quick draw is cool looking, and may be useful for the ninjas among us, but I’m just a fat old man who moves slowly and painfully. I like to be ready ahead of time. This applies to long guns too.

When I bring the PC9 instead, it’s in it's black Ruger "take-down" pack-pack/case that was designed for it, which also lies unobtrusively on the black floor of my rear seats. This weapon has a Primary Arms micro RDS mounted to it. In addition to the gun, the case also holds two 17-Round G17 mags (not counting the two that are always stored in the chest rig), four 33-round stick mags, and a suppressor. All of the ammo in those mags is ball ammo. Two of the stick mags have 147 grain subsonics in them, and the rest are 115 grain ball. Since I am almost always carrying a double-stack 9mm Glock, this setup provides lots of cross-platform compatibility. The carbine extends my practical range and accuracy, and when suppressed, it’s fairly quiet with the subsonics. Because of its "take-down" nature, I haven’t put a sling on this Carbine, although it will accept one.

Truth be told though, as I am getting slower and creaky-er, I’m thinking a lot less about how much tactical stuff I can carry, and a lot more about minimizing what I am willing to carry. If I have to bail out of my vehicle and take up shank's mare, I’ve got serious problems which may be well outside of my physical capacities. An old man on foot with a backpack is just a target these days, and my 4Runner with its 4-wheel drive makes for a pretty good weapon in and if itself, and an even better escape pod. I just want to get home, and I’m willing to run over people who look like they are trying to drag me out of my car if necessary. Better to be tried by 12 than buried by 6. And all the magazines in the world won’t keep your position from being overrun if the crowd is large enough.....especially now that some of these anarchist types are beginning to show up with guns of their own.

I long for the day when my .30-30 and a spare box of ammo is all the truck gun I’ll ever need or want.

And the winner thus far is TAM. What a setup with the SBR
