I don't know what it's called... I just know the sound it makes when it takes a man's life.
Sorry, I couldn't resist! Nick nolte is a crazy ****************er.
It's a blade tech IWB holster that came with the crimson trace red dot I have mounted on a Ruger ec9. Not my favorite gun to shoot but with the red dot it's a good defensive weapon for a vehicle.
I have it clipped to the carpet that comes up along the middle console. If you remove the front carpet trim and then the leather padded trim (by the knee) it will show you the lip of carpet there. Just clip it on and then reassemble the trim pieces. I think I adjusted the spacers on the holster/clip a bit to snug up the fit but it worked really well for the first year. Unfortunately though the plastic softened a bit and the pistol drapes away from the console a bit now (gravity's a ********************). Easier for me to grab that way but just a bit looser overall.
If I were to do it again I would try to find a holster where the attachment between it and the clip is reinforced with metal which should prevent the eventual sagging you get with even thick plastic. Otherwise it works great.
A note about car carrying - not all states allow it without a permit so check your state laws (I'm sure you already know this, I just don't want someone reading this getting the idea that everyone can do it) Also, remember that a car is a very hot and sometimes very humid place. I was surprised that the bluing on the ec9 started to show corrosion after about 6 months in the vehicle. Not anything awful but enough that this will be the only Ruger I ever buy. On the other hand, I have a Glock 17 in my truck that has been there for 4 years without a spot of corrosion whatsoever (cue the Glock fanboy haters in 3... 2... 1... ).
