I just got back to WA after a 13hr car drive. As soon as we hit the OR side of the ORCA border my triple-locked pistol case (seriously, three separately keyed padlocks) came out of the trunk, unlocked and my Glock 27 rejoined with the mags, which had been  locked separately in the glove box.

My ankle holster (although Renegade is an excellent one) wasn't going to work. From my previous post about the drive down a 12 hour ride was just uncomfortable. I was also in 100degree weather and in shorts.

The MaxpeditionVersipack bag would have worked (from an older previous post on a drive to Oregon), but I wanted to try something different and little more accessible. Oh, I may have forgot to mention, you need the Maxpedition "universal holster" if you are going to put such a small pistol in it. It is a $10 option.

Instead, I had grabbed my Glock Sport holster. It was about $10 (probably a few bucks more now since I bought mine back sometime in the 90's) but is basically an open bottom plastic holster molded for Glocks. Incidentally, it fits just about everything I have ever put in it. No, it is not a combat grade, multi-level rententon holster but it works. Especially with a short barrel and short gripped pistol like the Glock 27.

I like to wear OWB at about the 3:30 to 4:00 position. But when driving I slide it to my side. With such a small pistol there is no discomfort. 13 hours later, my back didn't hurt!!

Now, I don't know how well it would have worked (comfort-wise) with a bigger pistol. I normally would have brought a bigger pistol but I didn't want to bring a normal capacity magazine (greater than 10) into CA. I figured if I was going with a 9 shot pistol I might as well bring something small and lightweight.

So, more expensive holsters are nice but there is something to be said for an inexpensive holster that works. It's especially nice when it works for something such as a 13 hour drive and you don't have to buy something expensive (like a shoulder rig I have been meaning to order for months).
