Gun Magnet

The Gun Magnet mounts in seconds and holds any handgun, pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, or magazine with up to 35 pounds of magnetic force — no wobbling, no shifting, no holster required. Mount it under a desk for concealed access at a workstation, inside a vehicle for within-reach carry, on a bed frame for nightstand-level access without a nightstand, or anywhere a flat surface exists and quick access matters. Two installation methods included: 3M double-sided adhesive tape for non-penetrating mount on any surface, or four screws with drywall anchors for permanent installation. Rubber-coated surface protects firearm finish. Lifetime warranty.

Gun Magnet Features and Specs

• 35-lb magnetic hold: Secures handguns, revolvers, pistols, CCWs, rifles, shotguns, and magazines without wobbling or shifting — two or more recommended for larger firearms where full flat contact isn't possible
• Rubber-coated surface: High-quality rubber coating prevents scratches on firearm finish during mounting and removal
• Dual installation options: 3M double-sided adhesive tape for tool-free mounting on any surface, or four screws with drywall anchors for permanent installation
• Wide placement compatibility: Vehicles, under desks, bed frames, walls, safes, doorways, coffee tables — any flat surface
• Lifetime warranty

Contents include the gun magnet, 3M double-sided adhesive, four screws, and four drywall anchors — everything needed for either installation method is in the box. The adhesive option installs in under a minute with no tools and no holes in the surface, which makes it practical for vehicle mounting or renters who can't put screws in walls. The screw mount is the more permanent option for under-desk or wall installations where the magnet will see daily use and needs to stay put under repeated mounting and release cycles.

Under Desk Gun Magnet — Placement and Access Strategy

The under-desk mount is the most common application because it keeps a firearm completely hidden from view while remaining within reach in under a second. A gun stored in a desk drawer requires opening the drawer — the magnet eliminates that step. For a home office, retail counter, or any seated workstation where a threat could come through a door, the magnet positions the firearm where the hand naturally reaches without looking. Vehicle mounting works on the same principle: under the dashboard, inside the center console, or on the side of a seat bracket puts the firearm accessible from the driver's position without being visible to anyone looking through the window. For firearm owners who want concealed access at multiple points in the home, mounting one under the desk and another on a bed frame covers the two most common access scenarios without a safe or holster at either location.

How strong is a 35-lb gun magnet — will it hold my firearm?

35 pounds of magnetic hold is sufficient for nearly all handguns and most long guns when the magnet makes full flat contact with the firearm's surface. A typical full-size steel handgun weighs 1.5–2.5 pounds unloaded — the 35-lb rating provides significant holding margin above that weight even accounting for vibration in a vehicle or incidental contact during removal. The rating applies when the magnet is in full flat contact with a flat steel surface. Curved surfaces, polymer frames, or aluminum-framed firearms with limited steel contact area reduce the effective hold — for those situations or for rifles and shotguns, using two magnets side by side provides the full contact area needed for a secure hold.

Will a gun magnet damage my firearm?

The rubber coating on the magnet surface prevents any contact scratching during mounting and removal. Magnetic exposure does not damage steel firearms, modern ammunition, or electronics in optical sights — the field strength of a 35-lb hold magnet is well below the threshold that would affect any of these components. Older mechanical watches worn on the wrist during mounting and removal can be affected by strong magnets, but this isn't a concern for the firearm itself. The more relevant consideration is placement: under-desk and vehicle mounts should position the firearm where it can't be accessed by children and where the release motion is natural for the intended user.
