From Grant's Pass, Oregon and Madhouse Design (@madhouse.design) comes the GCS Gun Control System. Described by Madhouse Design as the “…only gun control that works”, the GCS is a rod (or series of rods)by which you can secure handguns via their barrel. The pistol mount pin is described as CNC machined 303 stainless steel with a soft rubber over-mold to protect the weapon (without trying one of course we cannot say how it would affect any rifling). The pins are interchangeable by weapon size, fitting barrels from .22 to .45, and are mounted to a swiveling body that locks into 7 different positions in 30 degree increments. It can also be locked out and free floated for manipulation.
A single mount GCS package retails from $49. Here's how Madhouse Design's Joe Pickett describes them:
“[They are]…100% made in America, highest quality machining possible and the best materials used. The barrel rods are nitroinfused rubber coated to protect your barrel, and the rods can be swapped out so you change your rod to fit the firearm you want to carry instead of buying a whole new unit. These go great in the car, office, home, shop, boat, anywhere you want to have a gun at the ready but still tucked neatly away. When inverted they make a great holder for under your desk unlike those cheap clumsy magnets that don't work worth a crap and drop your gun when bumped. With a Spring loaded detent and multi positional system it makes for over a dozen mounting possibilities.
On top of the high quality manufacture process they also look great and everyone who lays eyes on yours will be wanting one for themselves!! I have one on side of my nightstand next to bed, on side of console in my truck and on side of my tool box at shop.”
The GSC isn't all Madhouse Design builds. They also manufacture muzzle devices, gun rests and a “dual sight system.” All appears to be Made in the USA.
