Ka-Comm Gun Mount
This fl exible mount moves with the seat back. By Scott Fischer and Craig Fisc her
realized that “one size fi ts all” is not ac- curate. So, we have attached mounts horizontally to consoles and cages; ver- tically to cages; behind and between seats, rear doors, trunk lids, and any other way to install the gun mount. It seemed like each time we started a gun mount installation, we would have to modify the current mount so much that it was unrecognizable. The appli- cation would need to be so completely different that we would end up just re- placing the mount. With our customer’s budgets shrinking as
F
fast as the room inside the newer patrol cars, we decided to design our own gun mount. T e goal was a gun mount that would allow the fl exibility to move the mount from one installation to the next with little additional cost. Also, we wanted a mount that would allow an agency to change the make/model of guns. Several of our employees got together in
a “gun mount build-off .” One goal of the competition was to design a gun mount that was not vehicle or gun specifi c. Another goal was that the gun mount could be installed relatively quickly in the fi eld and would not have to be re-confi gured after each installa- tion. T e result of this brainstorming and competition among our craftsmen was the compact and fl exible KAC-DGM-FLEX gun mount. T e KAC-DGM-FLEX is a gun mount designed to be mounted behind the driver or passenger seat. T e top of the mount at- taches to the headrest and the bottom por- tion can be secured with lag screws or with

or about 25 years, Ka-Comm, Inc. has been installing gun mounts. Over the years, we have
a no-holes drilled base. T e no-holes drilled base option is bolted to the chassis by using the back two bolts of the seat. Each mount can be set up to lock down one or two guns. Additional equipment accessories, such as a fl ashlight holder or OC spray holder, can be added to the mount. Our fl ex mount confi guration allows mo-
bility of the entire seat. With this option, offi cers are not restricted to one position of the seat or seat back and can patrol in comfort during their shift. T e Ka-Comm gun mount can be installed in almost any vehicle with almost any type of weapon confi guration and installed in almost any location. T ese mounts can be ordered with stan-
dard locks that are weapon specifi c or the universal handcuff lock. All of the locks are
available with the override key and the key can be handcuff key, barrel (vending ma- chine) key, or straight key. T e gun mount can be confi gured for ei-
ther a single weapon or dual weapon at any time. Departments can start with a single weapon and add additional or diff erent weap- ons with only minor changes in the layout of the system. It can be installed directly behind the driver or passenger seat, to a prisoner par- tition with or without the space saver option, on a canine transport cage, or overhead in virtually any horizontal or vertical application.
Scott and Craig Fischer are owners of Ka- Comm, Inc. in Salina, Kan.
