When it hits the fan, these perps roll up instantly and unless you're always alert of transitional spaces, have situational awareness and mastered your draw so much that your instincts and reflexes have become muscle memory - good luck having enough time getting to your hiding spots. This stuff happens in a second and done in two.

This is the main reason for finding a hiding place. For those that are unable to carry, a visible weapon would/could invite thieves to break into your vehicle.

Tactical issues aside, there are reasons to lock your gun in the glove box. I have to disarm sometimes when I enter a gun free zone like the post office. Anyhow, I would move the manual to the trunk as suggested before. I have place a Sig P226 full size piston in the glove box, so a G19 should be no problem.
Carjackings are up 44% this year in Chicago, so I personally always have it on my hip. I have no issues turning over my car if that is all they want but if my family or my life is in danger, then all bets are off.

Glock 43, IWB usually. Usually don't bother going off body if I can avoid it.
I also keep a duplicate DL and registration in that little pocket in the visor in the GS. The great thing about this is if you ever get pulled over you don't have to worry about a LEO thinking about "furtive movements" or any of that BS, you can simply turn your lights on and just pull them out and hand them to the officer. This eliminates/reduces any potential 4A problems. Must notify states I'd probably end up putting carry lic there too. (although up here in new england, none of the states are must notify if you have the correct permits.

I know I am just a liberal from "the big city", but gun views aside, this looks like a tactical nightmare.
Fumbling to reach to grab your "burner" from the glove compartment, will kill valuable time. Not to mention you then have to point said "gat" at a threat while in a awkward sitting position, with minimal space to maneuver.
Same thing if it is next to your leg. You will have to grab "the biscuit" to point it at said threat risking putting holes in your car passengers or shooting yourself. Not to mention putting "the burner" in front of an air bag radius could result in possibly pistol whipping yourself durning a car crash,
Following the philosophy to not show it unless your about to use it, your best bet is to do what the cops do and keep it on your person?
But if are you going to step out the car to confront a sketch assailant, you already lost the advantage and your Lexus now belongs to the homies.
Not to mention how horrible of an idea this is if you are pretty much any shade of brown.
I say, unless you owe some bad people money, are blantantly flashy, or are a mobile Duane Reade, might be best to keep the chopper at home.

In Texas the driver does not have to keep his or her handgun concealed as long as it is kept holstered on his or her person, otherwise the handgun must be concealed from view...'concealed from view' meaning the handgun must not be able to be viewed (seen) at anytime, from any position, within the vehicle.

Use this in my pickup when at the farm. Don’t really carry much in the city, but use the side map pocket when driving the GS (left handed).

My Glock 43X fits fine in the center console, in the door, and in the glove box. Just move the manual to the trunk if you want it in the glove box. I always lock mine in the glove box when leaving the vehicle in a less than ideal place.
As for the guys saying carry it on you while driving. Have you actually done that before? It is very uncomfortable. Unlike police, who open carry on their hip. IWB holsters hurt when sitting. Not saying people don't do it. But for me personally, nope.
But to each their own. Just glad some fellow Clublexus members are carrying.
