My rationale, after seeing the mobs attacking vehicles, trying to pull ppl out of vehicles, 15 round .45 might not provide adequate defense. With this setup I have options ...
Only thing I'd say is in a situation where your trucks getting mobbed that rifle might be a bit long to maneuver in a tight spot like a car/truck. It could also be perspective is making it look longer than it is. (Looks like a 20" but I'm sure it's only 16" my eyes are pretty fucked)
Having said all that, your a responsible adult and I trust you've done your research and you know exactly what tools are capable of.
Once again it's a beautiful rifle, congratulations.
I remember seeing anti-carjacking stepside flamethrowers installed on SUVs in South Africa back in the day.
I figure if it gets real sporty I could rig something like that up to a couple of 20# propane tanks and make my truck a less enticing target.
I imagine you could probably change a lot of those human-chain's minds about the prospect of trying to get on your car, or anywhere near your crazy Mad Max lookin' ass, just by firing it up.
I have a 5 year old son who rides in the truck daily. I have hesitations of having a pistol in the truck as I see it being highly likely he would be able to pick one up and handle it vs the 16" barrelled rifle.

If you're really worried about your truck getting mobbed a longgun with a heavy ass mag isn't the option you want. Better off with a AR pistol. That way you can store it somewhere where you can get to it quick and manuever it inside the truck. Have you practiced with how you would use that thing if your truck is surrounded? Like imagine sitting in the driver seat and trying to aim that rifle at someone by your driverside window. Or even out the front of your window.
It's gonna be a shit show. Best to get a 7.5-10 pistol or SBR for practical in-vehicle defense.
Only thing I would say is that trying to shoot out of the front of your vehicle (due to the type of glass in the front) may make that hard to use. You typically want to fire out a few rounds to create "shooting hole" through the windshield. Hard to do with a shotgun that only holds 5 rounds.
I'd suggest an AR pistol (7.5" to 10.5" barrel) over anything else for a truck gun
It's personal preference and cost v benefit
They all have their place really, mostly depends on you and your personal style.
I personally think the 1-6x scopes that have been coming out in the last few years are great. Their so versatile, light and the sight picture is really open so target acquisition is much improved.
Yah depends on the person, my astigmatism made eotechs hard to use. Would blow out the reticle, but the newer eotechs are better. I am currently using a trijicon MRO on my work rifle and I like it alot, plus it's pretty affordable ($400ish).
I want to get a variable 1-6ish optic next to try it out.
The biggest problem I see with all these reflex optics is people don't use them correctly. You don't focus on the dot/optic, you focus on the threat/what your aiming at with both eyes open, then the reticle projects onto your target. Took me a while to get used to it.
Great thing about the eotech 500 series is they use AA batteries, easy to switch out. I use energizer lithiums and haven't had to change out yet after a few thousand rounds of target practice
Is that a GM 1500? If so I just bought a 2020 with the same under seat box. I also see you have a “weathertech” style floor liner. How did you make the floor liner fit? Did you cut it or did you remove the box then reinstall on top?
The bolts that are attacht to truck frame for holding jack and tire iron are used to secure the box, I just set it on top of mats and bolted down without issue
Thanks for the reply. Is there any issues with the back seats not folding down completely with the liner under the box?
I was looking for an AT4 with the 6.2 but I tow my RV a lot. My RV “dry” is 9500 pounds. Boy was I disappointed to learn that it isn’t even a special order option on the AT4 or Denali to get that 3.42 rear end, no way no how. Only the 3.23 is available and 9800 pounds max trailering.
So I just bought another SLT Premium plus with the 6.2 and the 3.42 rear end “max trailering package”. I’m good to 12,000 pounds. I did the Fabtech 3.5” lift and put on some 33’s Ridge Grapplers to round it out.
Congrats on your sweet AT4 and the 6.2 is a beast!
The seat folds down perfectly over the box, and it appears as just molding around the seat to the uninitiated.
Your rig sounds badass for sure! I tow a 30 ft offshore boat ( 15k lbs loaded with fuel and trailer ) with mine, albeit only a few miles from storage lot to the boat ramp a few times a year ( boat stays in a slip spring summer and fall) I def would not use it to tow often or long range
Dude what is that and can you buy one for an f150?
check this out
Hell yes!
I NEED THAT FIR MY TUNDRA!
Damn those are expensive. Been looking for exactly that to get a drawer safe for the closet.
Dang. Nothing for my Colorado. :(
Yessir, check out du-ha website, they make them for all types of trucks
I’ve had one for like 15 years....awesome product!
Million rounds per second clipmag ghost gun confirmed.
With extra auto and lasers beams n sheit
Fully semi automatic
If that's your truck gun, your truck must be really, really nice!
Its so nice it has its own guns
You can actually hear that cartoon cash register sound everytime you put a round into one of those drums.
Jokes aside looks like you spent your money the right way. That is a very nice set up.

AK pistol time

I'm sure that's a war crime or something

I would recommend ditching the drum mags, you don't need a malfunction when it really matters.
Drums are super fun on the range but not reliable enough for duty use.
While you can never have too much ammo (or too many guns), most of the mob will probably scatter away after the first shot's been fired.

I'm looking at a Henry Axe .410 for a truck gun.
26.4" total length.
Don't know if a level action is the best choice or not for that situation.
Anyone thinks they have a better recommendation I am all ears.

And I was gonna mention keep it locked and loaded. But hey that’s just me

Sexy.
You should put a tiny pocket knife in there, and tell people it’s for mopping up anything that can survive being shot 160(?) times.

They are expensive tho.
They will turn a 11.5-12.5” barrel into a CQB/run and gun/5-600 yards all in one rifle. Red dot or buis 45° offset for clearance or close in work
I think it's the holographic weapon sites that are not great for ppl with astigmatism. Red dots are not as bad

As someone who has bad astigmatism and is currently looking for an optic, I thank you. I'll be looking into the trijicon MRO.
That sucks. You aren't the first person I have heard have this experience either.
Battery life is much much worse. In other ways they are amazing though.

Yes, a 2020 GMC sierra at4, with the 6.2L

I love me some extended mags, but damn. What are you preparing for? Lol
Yeah seems a bit excessive IMO for a truck gun
When you absolutely, positively, gotta kill every motherfucking zombie in the horde...
I have the same sight
Your a saint sir
Nice gat.
I love that this rack has his and hers gun slots.
This dude fucks!
