Default Console holster mount

I just got a 2015 Eco Diesel and built one of my holster mounts for it.

This one uses the two screws at the top of the console on the driver's side and I built an adapter for the XDS paddle holster to attach to it.

I've got a couple of the cheap, molded Glock sport holsters laying around. One of those would be perfect to mount similarly...

Do the Glock holsters have belt loops or paddle?

If so, they would work on the same mount. Unless the paddle is too big to fit in the frame of the mount.

It's just an inexpensive molded belt holster. I've got a couple laying up in the back of a closet. Picked up a box of six of them at a gun show years ago for like $7 each. I think today they still only retail for like $15.95.






This is the little holder I had in my '04. I removed it when I sold the truck, but haven't gotten around to installing it in the '14 yet:

The frame I bolted to the truck is 3D printed. Then I bolt the belt replacement piece onto it. It looks like that holster might bolt directly to the frame. Or the bolt pattern on the frame could be tweaked to match it.


The hole a the bottom also has a nut behind it and if for the mag holder that I also 3D printed. I've gone to a 1911 mag holder after I took the pic. The
XDS mag flopped around too much in the double stack mag holder.

Any chance you could send me the exact spacing of those top two holes on the loops, center-to-center?

Sure, I just have to dig one out. Might be a day or two til I get the chance...

That would be fantastic. No hurry. Also the approximate size of the hole.

Thanks!

Exactly 5" center to center. Holes are 1/4"...

My attempt--works for me---evidently my holster idea works better than my skill at uploading pic's---
