The Cupolster from Vets Tactical fixes that problem fast. Craig and I covered it on the podcast. Most in-car holster options fall short. The Cupolster doesn’t. It fits your cup holder. No screws. No Velcro. No games. Just solid access when it counts.
TL;DR
The Cupolster by Vets Tactical is a no-drill vehicle holster solution.
Drops in your cup holder. Keeps your gun upright and ready.
Magnetic mounts are risky. Heavy guns slide. Road bumps knock them loose. Center consoles take time to open. Two hands. Extra steps. Glove boxes? Even worse. Reaching across your body under stress is a bad idea.
If it’s not fast, it’s not good.
How the Cupolster Works in Real Life
Slide it into the cup holder. Clip in your holster. Done.
No Velcro. No custom brackets. No dashboard damage.
It stays stable. Your draw stays consistent. And when it’s time to go, you grab and move—fast.
We’ve seen it work in trucks, sedans, compact cars, and everything in between.

FAQs About the Cupolster and Carrying in a Vehicle
What is a Cupolster and how does it work?
The Cupolster is a holster base that drops into your car’s cup holder. It holds your EDC pistol upright and ready to draw without needing tools or permanent install.
Is the Cupolster better than a magnetic gun mount?
Yes. Magnetic mounts can shift or fail on rough roads. The Cupolster locks your gun in place using your existing holster and keeps it steady.
Can I use my regular holster with the Cupolster?
You can. Most standard Kydex or hybrid holsters with a belt clip will fit. No need to buy something new.
Will the Cupolster fit in any vehicle?
It fits most cup holders in cars, trucks, and SUVs. Some deeper or oddly shaped holders may need a spacer or adapter.
Is it legal to carry a gun in my car with the Cupolster?
That depends on your state’s carry laws. Some allow loaded carry in a vehicle. Others have restrictions. Check local laws before using.
Does the Cupolster require installation or drilling?
No. That’s the point. Just place it in your cup holder, clip in your holster, and you’re done.
Is it safe to keep a gun in my car holstered like this?
If you’re legally carrying and the firearm is in a proper holster that covers the trigger, yes. Just don’t leave it unattended or unsecured if you’re out of the vehicle.
Can I draw from the Cupolster while wearing a seatbelt?
Yes. That’s why it exists. The draw angle is designed to clear your belt and body quickly from a seated position.
Bottom Line
You carry to be ready. Don’t let your vehicle be the weak link.
The Cupolster gives you fast access, clean lines, and no extra effort.
