I used to keep my gun holstered under the seat while driving , but now I keep it right next to me tucked between the cushion and the leanback of the bench seat in my truck with the grip sticking out and a small towel to conceal it .
I figured that in a scenario like you've described it would be too awkward to stretch down to draw my weapon.
Another added benefit to this method is that you can discretely have your hand on the weapon while disengaging the
safety . Assuming your gun has a safety .
BTW , Congratulations on getting your plastic !
