Is the magnet on the other side? For example, what if I wanted to mount it to a metal object? Could the magnet hold itself to that object, and gun?

In my opinion it would have to be very, very lightweight. the magnet will stick from either side but they just aren't that powerful.

No. I tried that hoping it would work on the side of my safe and it isn't strong enough for that. I bought a couple rare earth magnets that are supposed to show up this week that i am hoping will do that. however i am very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it.

The magnet is encased in plastic. It is all one piece. The magnet could hold the weapon and to the steel surface, but when you try to draw the weapon, it may still be attached to the weapon. Possibly a super strong tape or Velcro could be used if you don't want to attach the magnet with the screws. I used double sided tape to mount the magnet in the console of my vehicle and it works well.

It's a very strong magnet that will stick in both directions. I just tried it with a Glock 19 and empty clip and yes it is strong enough, and did not slip. Not sure with a full clip.

interesting Q.... I just tried mine (not yet mounted) and yes it grabbed very well to the metal refrig side. It would probably take the magnet with it tho' as you draw. I'd use a couple small screwsShould work fine. The magnets are VERY powerful. I have two I just received and they will leap together and would nip a fingertip off if you are not careful.Steve

I tried that with a file cabinet and my 9mm XD, and it slid down the side of the cabinet. Maybe if it was a stronger, thicker metal, and a lighter gun, perhaps it would hold, but its really made to be screwed onto something. Or if its holding horizontal rather thn vertical, maybe that would make a difference.

Sorry for the late reply.1 magnet will work excellent; I have a Glock 40 compact mounted next to my night stand. If using a shotgun or rifle, then use 2 magnets.

It has prongs that you can attach instead of using the magnets. The prongs insert through the carpet-works great! I have some big bore revolvers hanging from them and they hold really well.

It is not a magnet, but it is metal and a magnet will pick it up, if that is what you mean.

No, it's design to mount on the back, right or left side, but not both. There is only one mounting plate available which is placed along the wall where you want it secured. The gun vault will fit in the brackets of the mounting plate and there are screws which you twist on from inside the vault. What I did was instead of mounting it into the drywall, I got a flat, 1 inch thick board and screwed it into the 2x4 stud behind the drywall, then screwed the mounting plate onto the wooden board to secure it better. Hope this helps.

It could be mounted that way, but it most likely wouldn't function well for firearm retrieval since the tray is made to be in the horizontal position to pull out. I have one mounted on the underside of my bedframe and it works great.

Yea the magnetic is what holds it in place. Not a good idea if yours is made of plastic.

No I doubt very much you will have any trouble removing pistol from the magnet. If you grasp the handle and pull straight off the magnet it releases fairly easily. I believe this device is gender friendly. I have two so far and intend to purchase another soon. This should be a testament to the usefulness of this product:)

It's how you position the weapon, it's possible to position it incorrectly and get in the way but I did not have a problem with it. It works well for me

Yes... although i havent tried... it is metal and a magnet should stick to it!

I think not. It seems to only hold metal magazines that have a depression running the length of the mag to near to top. It is this depression/groove that the holder retainer clicks into. It will not retain any of my polymer mags or 22 mags. Also be aware the holder does not come with the rail attachment for the buttstock. This must be purchased separately, CAA item PRFCS or PLFCS. Mine has been on back order for weeks.

It doesn't move side to side. You would have to loosen the mount and slide it.

Well, it mounts magnetically. If the unit was metal around the vent, it could work. However I would think this would cause the air to shoot straight up or straight down as you cannot adjust where deflector aims.

Havent done any weight test on mine, but if you are going to use it to hold a handgun, excesive pull from the magnet might lead to excesive retention and slow your while drawing your gun.

I just held up a heavy magnet to the base and sides and it did not adhere to either. There was a slight attraction on the sides, but not enough to hold the magnet.

Yes. There are 3 ways to mount it. It comes with a 'sticky patch'. It has a magnet at the end. And there are 2 screw holes.

The magnet is coated with thermoplastic polymer which is similar to the polymer used in the modern handgun. I use it with a bi-tone model, so it is polymer on metal and I have had no issues.
