Ragnar Industries Tac-Mag Gun Magnet with 35 lb Rating

Edited 8/26/2017: It's been about 10 months, and still works perfectly. I've since moved the mount to my new vehicle, 2015 Jeep JKU, and mounted it below the steering wheel. I can mount a pistol along the top of the slide, or along the side of the slide and it holds either way, both small pistols (Kel-Tec P3AT) and a semi-compact pistol (Taurus PT111 Millennium Pro).Edited: I've been using this for 3.5 months now and it's worked great. Any pistol I've used had stayed put regardless of pistol weight, terrain, length of drive, etc. The Velcro I added has stayed on nicely and continues to protect my gun's finish. There are many competitors on the market, which I haven't tried, but for the price and quality, this is the best there is.Great solution for carrying in car, especially a small car will very little storage like my Camaro. The magnets are very strong. I added a piece of soft side Velcro onto the mounting surface to protect my gun's finish and so that it doesn't smack hard into the magnets when mounting. I installed it using two screws with a locking washer and a nut on the back side. I haven't driven with a gun mounted yet but I can tell that it'll hold well and the gun won't spin. I installed it at a 45 degree cant so that I can naturally gain a strong grip if I need to grab it quickly. To keep the gun mounted stable, it appears I'll have to attach it to the magnets right in the center of the gun for proper weight distribution.ETA: I've been using this daily for two months now and it's performed perfectly. The gun doesn't move at all once I set it in place. I use it for either my Taurus PT111 or Kel Tec P3AT, and it holds either one of them right where I need without spinning or moving.

We purchased both the “Gun Concealment Magnet“ by Lockdown for 14.99 dollars and also the magnet gun holster by “Magnet Gun Holster” for 13.97 dollars from Amazon in NOV2014. Note: Seller SLight LLC currently incorrectly lists the manufacture as “Gun Magnet”, it should be “Magnet Gun Holster”. Both units work well overall, but neither is perfect. The unit by Magnet Gun Holster (Made in the USA) claims to hold 25 pounds and the larger model from Lockdown (made in China) currently does not list the weight that it will hold, but it definitely holds less weight than the Magnet Gun Holster model, perhaps due to the thick rubber surrounding the magnet. Neither unit will hold up a 5-pound metal weight, covered in thick plastic, which I used to initially compare these two models.The Magnet Gun Holster is smaller, more powerful, but covered with a slippery plastic. The Lockdown unit has a better soft rubber finish, with the two magnets further apart, for better control to prevent the gun from spinning from the stored pointing direction. Both units will hold a Sig P220 .45 pistol very well and it actually takes a good amount of force to remove this large steel pistol from either magnet, especially the Magnet Gun Holster unit. Neither magnet mounted on a “wall” by itself will hold a Ruger 10/22 rifle with a custom one-inch heavy steel barrel, without the firearm sliding down and dropping off. However, the Magnet Gun Holster with two close magnets WILL safely hold this same rifle from the muzzle, if the magnet was mounted in the ceiling. The Lockdown unit will not hold this custom 10/22 from the muzzle, because only one magnet will contact the barrel at the same time, when mounted on the ceiling. With all that said, I slightly prefer the Lockdown unit for a pistol, for most storage locations that I am using, but I am ordering only additional Magnet Gun Holsters, since they are made in the USA and are more powerful, so probably safer in a moving vehicle situation, although in a vehicle, I would probably want two separate units, to ensure positive muzzle control 100% of the time.. The Magnet Gun Holster is better for long guns, WHEN two separate units are combined to work together.For those who complained either unit does not work properly, I believe that they either mounted the magnet units upside down or are trying to secure a mostly plastic or aluminum firearm. Buyers should test their firearm with a small magnet before ordering EITHER of these units! Both units are worthless if mounted backwards! Test the magnet before mounting! One side of both units is extremely weak.

I may have already reviewed this little magnet, but I've bought many of these same ones. These little things are amazing! Truly transforms gun (and magazines or anything else steel) storage into simple, fast, effective and sometimes nearly invisible means of preparedness. I use one in our closet mounted on the inside overhead wall to snap my EDC gun when I'm not wearing it. Mounting here lets me have quick access to the weapon while being fully hidden, and far out of the reach of my 3 year old. This magnet is so strong, it's cracking the corner bead and paint from attracting the slide into the wall! So not only do I not care about how this wall looks inside a closet and over your head, I know my evil genius kid can't remove a weapon even if he found it (which is really only stored there during the night or while I'm showering) even though he knows we have many guns in the house and in the safe. For me, the safety of a well placed magnet is 3 fold. I also use one hidden behind a shelf at the front and rear doors of my house, and one under the dash of my car. I'm going to build a false bottom shelf that will accept two magnet mounts to accommodate a hidden shotgun. We had an accidental break in during the day on day 1 at our new house that scared us into being more prepared for unexpected situations. These mounts also make confined safe storage a thing of the past. I truly love these magnets, and I have seen a bunch of different styles, my friends use others. I've never had a mar or scratch on any weapon from the plastic, even cerokoted slides. The only thing I would like to see change is aluminum inserts with countersunk holes for flush wood screws, and a discounted multi pack. I would recommend a six pack in a heartbeat. 1- bedroom, 2- front door, 3- car, 4- kitchen counter under cabinets, 5- office desk, 6- flashlight mounted. It's proven that a good flashlight is a more effective deterrent of home invasion. I really find these things hugely functional and utilitarian. As always, remember to practice safe handling, and be smart about your weapons. There is enough bad guys out there, we don't need any accidents in the law abiding and responsible gun owners community. Also, the use of a safety is encouraged as this magnet is strong enough that you have to tug it pretty hard to release. Like as in about 5 - 9 lbs of pull. Think about it. Be smart, be safe.
