I suppose I should have shared it with my fellow Nebraskans a long time ago.

If my car comes to a sudden stop, that gun is going to be right between myself and the thin seat belt strap trying to stop my body from flying forward. I shudder to think of the damage it could cause.

If I happen to carry AIWB, the holster isn't centered in front of me and the seat belt/holster combination isn't going to hurt me any worse (in a car crash) than the seat belt would by itself.
The Fricke Archangel (among others--the CCC Shaggy is another good one) is a comfortable holster to wear while sitting or driving (YMMV based on body type) and unless you decide to center it over someplace extremely sensitive :o it wouldn't be an issue.

If your driving all day, check out a good shoulder rig, that's what I wear for long drives...

It's a great idea, but I was thinking of building a bracket, of something stiff yet pliable like plastic, that I could just slip the holster onto, whether it was a paddle, clip-on, etc.

Haven't had that issue as long as I keep that rig cinched tight. I agree on the strap feeling as though it will cause a double-thickness racing stripe, so I have a thin cushion on top of it....solves that issue as well as makes my two cheeks smile on longer rides :) The handguns (one for the Mr. Smith revolver and the other for my Austrian Tupperware) are incredibly easily accessible should the need arise. Have a bolted-in lockbox if I want to keep 'em locked in the truck, or I can holster them with ease after releasing the seatbelt. :)

I love my Crossbreed Supertuck as well....just can't get to it easily without first releasing the seatbelt. Tucks help me stay comfortable for driving hours on end :laugh:
