A firearm is only useful if you can reach it when you need it. At home, that means a set place you can find in the dark, that holds the gun securely, and that keeps it out of sight. A magnetic gun mount does all three. Here's where to mount one at home, including on a gun safe, and which CoJo mount fits each spot.
Where to Mount a Gun Magnet at Home
CoJo's product pages list these spots:
- Behind a nightstand, within reach of the bed.
- Under a desk at home or in the office.
- Behind a curtain.
- Above a closet door: the CoJo Gun Gripper can suspend a riot shotgun horizontally.
- On a gun safe: the CoJo Gun Gripper can hold a shotgun vertically on the side of a safe.
Gun Magnet for Safe: Using the Outside or Inside of Your Safe
Many gun owners already have a safe, and a magnet makes the steel sides and door more useful. CoJo shows the CoJo Gun Gripper holding a shotgun vertically on a safe. Inside the safe, a magnet can hold a pistol against a wall or door so it isn't lying loose on a shelf.
- The CoJo Gun Gripper is magnetic on both front and back, uses one solid neodymium magnet (CoJo calls it the strongest on the market), and has a TPU rubber-like coating with a raised grip pattern. $34.99.
- Mount it with the included hardware on wood or drywall, or use it where its magnetic back lets it sit on steel.

CoJo Gun Magnet
The CoJo Gun Magnet uses a V-shaped design with two highest-grade neodymium rare-earth magnets. It's magnetic on both sides, lets pistols sit at any angle, and fits semi-autos and revolvers. It holds your pistol and an extra mag, and its belt loops keep tools or mags handy. It comes in 1-, 2-, 4- and 6-packs, so you can cover the bedroom, office and more.
CoJo Gun Gripper
The CoJo Gun Gripper is the heavy hitter. CoJo has tested it lifting a 50 lb dumbbell, and it suspends shotguns horizontally or vertically. It also mounts flush and keeps your firearm out of sight.
CoJo U-Mag
The CoJo U-Mag's U shape protects the barrel on 3 sides. It has a solid grade-52 neodymium magnet, lets long guns sit completely flush against the wall, and allows racking pistols. From $29.99, in 1-, 2-, 4- and 6-packs.
Home Mounting Tips
- Keep it out of children's reach. Quick access for you can't mean access for kids. Mount high, out of sight, or use locked storage when children are in the home.
- Test with an unloaded gun and practice reaching it in low light.
- Check behind the wall for wiring and plumbing before you drill.
- Pick one consistent spot so you always know where the gun is.

Safety first: firearm transport and storage laws vary by state and city. Check your state and local laws before you store or mount a firearm in your home (some states have safe-storage requirements), and always keep guns out of reach of children.
