What are you comfortable spending on a "truck gun"?

[sinac84]

Just like the title says, what are you comfortable spending on a pistol that will most likely never be carried and will spend the majority of the time sitting in your vehicle? We all know the risk of leaving a weapon in a vehicle and knowing that risk what are you willing to take a hit on if it were stolen?

300 dollar wheel gun is about all I'm leaving out of my sight.

I bought an old beater .38 wheel gun, spent $225. That's about my max on a truck gun.

Why not buy a lock box and bolt it to the vehicle? Better yet, have it welded in. Then you can keep a gun you could trust your life with. I know a guy who has a 5.56 ammo can behind a bench seat with a big ugly padlock. He uses one of those food vacuum packers to seal up his gun. Don't know if he does anything special to prevent rust. I don't leave anything in my truck. Too risky.

Depends on the truck. If I was going to get a truck gun it would be a hi point.

I know that people leave a pistol in their ride. I personally don't. I don't want to risk the chance of having it stolen. Just a topic of conversation on a rainy, cold Sunday morning.

I have seen the steel lock boxes that can be installed into the center console, they usually run around $250. I wonder how much that would slow a theif down?

that's funny I keep a high point 9 in my center console and a CZ 75 on my hip
