interesting, I have not tried belly band, I think I may give it a try, I haven't gone with an optic yet, for fear of once I do it I wont go back and might lose some ability with iron sights-hahahah I had a G43 but gave it to the wife, because she liked it. Currently the SIG 365 can reside inside pants pocket of cargo pants or appendix carry under Hawaiian shirt, Handgun technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years, the old school 1911 is first weapon I held and fired, but have only owned hammerless striker fired no safety or DA-SA w/no safety to keep the training and mindset the same. The Wilson Combat EDC X9 is a work of art, Ive been contemplating getting one, but I'd have to train for flicking the safety off and carrying condition 1, but its such a nice weapon, is I think Im sticking with the Sig, nice cars are like nice guns and and watches and cameras, toys for older boys. |

Wow. Why do you need to carry three?

I don't carry three at the same time. The reason for the three different handguns in the picture was to show the three different holster setups that I utilize depending on my attire and what vehicle I will be driving. The inside the pants holster (Milt Sparks Summer Special 2) that I have had since 1991 is my go to holster for my strong side when driving my truck or motorcycle. The Blackhawk holster (bottom right) is great when wearing cargo shorts (place holster in cargo pocket) and the light weight of the Glock 42 make it great when driving the M5 (no wear on the seat) and the most comfortable carry option.

I was actually attempting to make a joke.
You, @Egrunt get extra brownie points not just for the M5 but especially for the GS. My last Beemer:

Yes, this is possible, and I've summarized the steps below.
I would use a hack saw (you can get one from Home Depot for less than $20) to saw off the top of the center console, by cutting horizontally straight across (just beneath where the lid of the console would be in a normal M5). At that point, you will have exposed what's underneath the top cover of the center console. Most likely, it's not very important, and can be removed. If what's underneath is mostly plastic, then you can use a crowbar to break up the material, by first hammering the crowbar in (use a mallet), and then gently rocking it back and forth (use a longer crowbar to get more leverage), until the material gives. Be careful not to damage the leather interior with the other end of the crowbar. Eventually, the plastic will crack and you can pull it out in chunks. You should wear eye protection as the plastic can splinter. If, on the other hand, the material inside is made of metal, you will have to do a bit more work. In that case, you can use a miniature jackhammer such as the Bosch Concrete Electric Breaker Hammer, also available at Home Depot. It breaks up material such as metal or concrete by delivering high impact energy down a steel hammer chisel, which can be replaced if it wears out. You may want to cover the interior of the car with protective cloth before doing this, so nothing gets scratched. After hollowing out the inside of the center console, I would purchase the interior shell and cover of the regular center console from the M5 LCI, and place them inside the hollowed out area you created. The cover will lack the red "CS" logo, but you can obtain a similar sticker on eBay, and most people won't notice. Of course, this modification will void any warranty on your interior (engine and other parts are still covered). But it's well worth the storage space gains, and it might actually raise the value of your car if you ever decide to sell it. Should you run into any issues after completing the project, I would take the car to a certified BMW dealer, they're usually quite helpful with such custom modifications.

The belly band looks like a quick and easy way to shoot your dick off.

The only sensible solution is to replace the CS centre console with a standard one for the base or comp like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M5-F9...-/264908596449
And then have the armrest leather re-trimmed to match the CS interior before swapping it out. |
