Who Should Buy This
Buy it if: You need a rock-solid magnetic mount for:

FAQ
Will this work with my Glock?
Only if you have steel slide components – polymer frames won’t magnetize. For polymer guns, we recommend our quick-access holsters.
Where can I buy magnetic gun mounts online?
F1Firearms (f1firearms.net) carries the Lockdown Magnum and other quality firearm mounts with same-day shipping from Flagstaff, AZ.
How many magnets do I need for an AR-15?
Two magnets provide optimal stability – one near the magwell, one near the barrel nut. We’ve tested this setup with M4s during rapid vehicle exits.
Will the adhesive damage my vehicle’s interior?
The 3M VHB tape won’t damage most surfaces when removed properly (use heat gun for clean removal). Test in inconspicuous area first.
Is this legal in my state?
Check local laws – magnetic mounts are ATF-compliant but some states restrict vehicle carry methods. We ship to all 50 states.
Can I mount this vertically?
Yes – the 50-lb hold strength maintains secure grip in any orientation we’ve tested (including upside-down under desks).
