Any recommendations on the lock boxes?
The under seat lockbox with the cable will prevent a smash and grab. Nothing will stop a thief who steals your car or has the time to cut the cable. I assume most thieves aren't actively searching for a gun in lockbox, so they aren't carrying bolt cutters.

If you can't carry your gun on you, and you can't fit a Console Vault in your car, then those cable-secured boxes are the next best option.

Right, I was asking recommendations like brand / model / cable. I only have experience with the larger safes I’ve never really looked at those little ones.

There’s a bunch of them from $20-$40 for the simple cable lock keyed ones.
I had a console vault safe in my subaru legacy.
My girlfriend bought me an electronic one. I can’t remember who makes it. I used it in my f33 and now my f39.

Oh it’s a vaultek lifepod 2.0

Ugh, went to order a SA Hellcat and everyone within 30min of me appears to be out of stock. Really frustrating since my cousin was able to order/receive his about 2 weeks ago. Was hoping to have a new toy by my birthday end of next week.

I think most of those types of boxes are all about the same...
cheap metal and cheaper locks...

Here are a couple of options that I found that may work for
under your seat type of install... (random search / I do not
have any experience with either company or product).

I think I like the look of the 2nd one better (more secure) but

1. not sure on height fitting underneath the seat
2. not sure it's wide enough to fit a compact or full size vs only a subcompact. Says 5" wide but a G19 is 5.04" from sights to mag plate.

The search continues but thanks for the links, gives me a starting point. Maybe I'll fab something up similar to the 2nd one but with the profile of the 1st one...

Get used to it for a while. NICs is averaging over 4 million checks a month this year. Back in the early 2000's - that was over 6 MONTHS worth of checks. I track this for a report at work and it has hit a new record every other month or so - it's still insanely busy. I've been in the industry for 30 years and this is the worst I have seen it, ever. I went though Black Talon rush, Assault Weapons Ban rush, Obama rush, but this one is by far the worst.

Local gun shops in my non-gunfriendly state went from having nothing but shitty revolvers in their case a couple months back to pretty much having anything you could realistically want, in stock, within the last 2 weeks.

Point is that, even though this is the 'NKOTB' with respect to conceal carry hotness, it should still be pretty easy to get one; especially a 'vanilla' version. Might just have to dig and/or order one for transfer, that's all.

TLDR: how bad do you really want it?

I have a granddaughter with Cystic Fibrosis / when I found out that Amazon had the "smile" option supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - it was a no brainer for me! Every little bit helps go a long way...

That's great. I donate to a charity raising money to help find a cure for a rare genetic disorder (TECPR2) that a little boy where I live has. The UF genetic department has started their research and hopefully a cure will be found.

Hahaha no! Just was looking for in-stock 9mm's (similar to the Hellcat & P365) and found this one and it was listed $65 below MSRP, which was nice. Happy Birthday to me!

I know this an old post and you have probably sorted your purchase out already. I have a gun shop in MD. A lot of dealers can either plug or pin the magazines for you. It's a good solution if you want the standard capacity magazines and not the 10 rounders.
