Finally - a use for the factory XD holster!

[Fentonite]

I never found the factory XD holster to be worth a damn, until now. Add 6" length of 1/8" x 1.5" steel, 2 carriage bolts/lock washers/nuts, and 10 minutes later, you have a quickly-accessible XD under your desktop.

Is this your desk in home room?


I always wanted to rig something like this up in my office when I worked for my parents.

Just my cheap desk in my home office. I doubt I'd drill through a nice desk.

Were your parents dangerous??[ROFL1][ROFL2][ROFL1]

Put a hole in the holster so you can work the trigger and then put it on a swivel so you can point it in any direction!

I would put a servo on it and a camera sight so you can link it to your computer and fire with the click of a mouse[Muaha]

Very nice setup. Now THAT's thinking!

while a good idea in theory, you might fall under NFA guidelines. The feds did it to the High Standard Wallet Holster. accessing the trigger without removing it from the "holster" rendered it into an extremely dangerous NFA item. Go figure.

You mean like this wallet holster Galco used to make for the AMT Backup?

I had one, once upon a time. It looked real similar to the pics. And it fired and cycled beautifully. But then I learned that it became NFA classified, so I don't have it anymore. Theoretically, if someone did still have one, what should they do with it?

You can pay the $200 to register it as an AOW I thought. Once it is registered, you can transfer it for $5 like every other AOW. Might be cheaper to just buy one new and pay the $5 stamp and wait the extra months to get the papers back.


I'd think that with the desk this wouldn't fall under the NFA law because the desk is a pretty fixed object. For example, you can make a silencer without getting a stamp if it is secured in one spot. An example would be if you made a large box and bolted it to the floor to test shooting different guns through it or something. Think of a kind of permanent shooting bench or something. I don't know the details of this though, so please no one go out and do either without checking first.
