The StopBox Co-Pilot is a vehicle-specific pistol lockbox built for the concealed-carry driver who wants a dedicated, secure spot for a handgun inside the car, not stuffed in the glove box with the registration or buried in the center console under charging cables and spare change. The Co-Pilot mounts beside the driver's or passenger's seat with the Universal Seat Adapter, holds a handgun in a ready-to-draw orientation, and uses StopBox's patented mechanical hand-gesture lock so there are no batteries to replace, no keypads to charge, and no screens to fail in a hot or cold vehicle interior.
Access is handled by StopBox's patented hand-gesture lock, the same mechanical finger-pressure lock that drives the StopBox PRO and the rest of the StopBox line. You set a custom hand-gesture combination at install, and opening the box means placing your fingers on the actuators and pressing the sequence you set. The lid opens the same way every time and presents the pistol grip-up in a consistent, instinctive draw orientation. The lock is fully mechanical: no batteries, no electronics, no reset buttons, nothing that can die in the sun of a parked car in August or freeze solid in a January night.
A second integrated mechanical key lock adds a layer of redundancy and lets you lock the Co-Pilot down entirely when you leave the vehicle unattended for extended periods, so that even someone who figures out the hand-gesture combination cannot access the pistol without also having the physical key. Two keys ship with the Co-Pilot. The housing is high-strength polycarbonate-ABS, the same impact-resistant blend StopBox uses across its product line, and a rubber-coated steel security cable loops through the Universal Seat Adapter mount to anchor the Co-Pilot to the seat frame so the whole unit cannot be lifted out and carried off with the pistol inside.
The Co-Pilot is the first fully ambidextrous StopBox. Right-handed driver, left-handed driver, driver who wants it mounted on the passenger side so the handgun stays out of sight of anyone the driver pulls up next to at a light- all three configurations are supported by the same product. The Universal Seat Adapter is engineered for the center-console gap found in most modern vehicles and mounts without drilling into the vehicle seat, console, or floor. No permanent modifications, no vehicle resale impact, no interference with factory airbags, seat belts, or seat-track adjustment when installed per StopBox's instructions. Trucks, SUVs, sedans, classic cars, and side-by-side UTVs are all supported chassis types.
The Co-Pilot ships with everything needed for installation and use: the Co-Pilot itself, the Universal Seat Adapter, two keys, Weapon Light Spacers for pistols with rail-mounted lights or lasers, and the rubber-coated steel security cable. StopBox backs the Co-Pilot with a limited lifetime warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, consistent with the rest of their product line.
If you want a mechanical hand-gesture lockbox for home or travel use rather than vehicle mounting, the StopBox PRO is the portable TSA-compliant handgun box with the same patented lock in a tabletop footprint. For a wall-mounted version for nightstand or office use, the StopBox Pro Ward Wall Mounted is the wall-anchored unit in the same line. If you need a rugged range-and-transport case rather than a handgun-specific lockbox, the StopBox U-Can is a padlockable ammo-can-style container for range gear and multiple handguns.
If you have questions about the Co-Pilot, whether it will fit your specific vehicle, whether your pistol fits inside with a red dot or weapon light, or how the hand-gesture lock compares to the StopBox PRO you may already own, please call us at 800-207-2259.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will my pistol fit in the Co-Pilot?
The Co-Pilot is designed to accept most compact to full-size pistols, including handguns equipped with a weapon-mounted light or optic. The included Weapon Light Spacers accommodate common rail-mounted accessories. If you have a specific pistol model you want to confirm fits, please call us at 800-207-2259.
Does the Co-Pilot fit my vehicle?
The Universal Seat Adapter is engineered to fit the gap between the center console and the seat in most vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, sedans, classic cars, and side-by-side UTVs. Installation requires no drilling, no cutting, and no permanent modifications. If you are unsure whether your specific vehicle will accommodate the Co-Pilot, please call us at 800-207-2259 before ordering.
Can I mount the Co-Pilot on the passenger side instead of the driver's side?
Yes. The Co-Pilot is the first fully ambidextrous StopBox product and mounts equally well on either side of the center console. Right-handed drivers, left-handed drivers, and drivers who prefer to keep the handgun out of sight on the passenger side are all supported configurations.
Does the Co-Pilot need batteries?
No. The patented hand-gesture lock is 100 percent mechanical. There are no batteries to replace, no electronics to fail, no screens to go dark, and nothing to charge. The lock operates the same whether the vehicle has been parked in 100-degree summer heat or 20-degree winter cold.
How long does installation take?
Under two minutes, using only the included Universal Seat Adapter. No tools, no drilling, and no removal of factory hardware.
What is the Co-Pilot's warranty?
StopBox backs the Co-Pilot with a limited lifetime warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the Co-Pilot does not fit your vehicle or meet your expectations, return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
Is the Co-Pilot made in the USA?
Yes. StopBox designs and assembles the Co-Pilot in Spokane, Washington.

Responsible Ownership:
Firearm laws vary by state and locality. Owners are responsible for following all federal, state, and local laws on the possession, transport, and storage of firearms, and for confirming that installation does not interfere with vehicle safety systems such as airbags, seat belts, and seat tracks. Practice is required to achieve rapid access. New users should train with an unloaded firearm until the opening sequence is instinctive.
⚠ California Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Yes. Free delivery is included on every safe we sell, anywhere in the lower 48 states. The specific delivery method depends on the safe's weight: small package delivery for under 150 lbs, curbside, or garage delivery for heavier safes. See full shipping details →
Shipping timelines vary by product. Check the availability status at the top of this page for the estimated ship date. Once shipped, transit time typically runs 5–10 business days, depending on your location. You'll receive tracking when the safe leaves the warehouse. Safes under 150 lbs ship via UPS or FedEx Ground, no appointment needed. Safes weighing 150 lbs or more ship via freight (LTL); the freight carrier will contact you directly to schedule a delivery appointment once the safe reaches your local terminal.
We don't provide inside delivery directly, but we work with third-party installers across the country who do. Here's how it works: call us at 800-207-2259 for a recommendation in your area, and we'll provide the names and phone numbers of installers we've worked with. You contact the installer directly to arrange pricing for delivery and installation. Once you've agreed on a price, place your order with us using the installer's address as the shipping destination. The installer receives the safe, inspects it, and schedules your final delivery appointment. Some installers prefer to pick the safe up directly from the freight terminal. See inside delivery details →
Check the product's exterior dimensions (listed above) against your narrowest passage, interior doorways, stair landings, and tight turns. Most people remove the safe from the pallet before moving it indoors, so the safe's actual dimensions are what matter for doorways. Standard interior doorways (30–32" clear) accommodate most residential safes, but measure before ordering. Call us if you're uncertain. See where to locate your safe →
Electronic locks: yes; it takes about 30 seconds. Instructions are included with your safe. Mechanical dial locks: no, changing a dial combination requires a licensed safe technician. Important: attempting to change a dial combination yourself (or having an unlicensed locksmith do it) voids the lock warranty. A licensed safe tech maintains the warranty. See lock operating instructions →
Note: Some mechanical pushbutton locks (like Simplex) can be changed by the user without a technician. Check your specific lock's instructions.
Call us immediately — while you have 24 hours to report damage, calling right away gets the claim filed faster. Take photos of the damage and packaging before moving anything. For minor cosmetic damage, we typically send touch-up paint plus a partial refund. For significant damage, we send replacement parts or arrange a full replacement. Order Protection (optional at checkout) speeds refund payouts to 48–72 hours vs. 30–60 days through standard freight claims; replacement safes ship on the manufacturer's normal timeline regardless. See receiving your safe →
We offer a 30-day return policy on unused, in-original-condition products. The return freight for a heavy safe is substantial, so we strongly encourage you to call us before ordering if you're unsure about fit or configuration. See full return policy →
Yes. Call us Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm Pacific at 800-207-2259. You have two options: we can take the full order by phone (we pause the call recording before you read your card number, so payment info is never stored), or we can build your order and email you a payable invoice link so you can enter your own payment details securely.
