1. A magnet mount for securely holding a firearm, comprising: (i) a side mounting plate configured for placing next to one side of the firearm; (ii) one or more magnets affixed to the side mounting plate, wherein said one or more magnets are configured for providing a holding power to support at least a portion of the weight of the firearm, (iii) a firearm holder including (a) a firearm seat for the firearm to be placed thereon, (b) a connector extending upwardly from the firearm seat along said one side of the firearm and connecting to the side mounting plate, and (c) a trigger shield extending upwardly from the firearm seat along another side of the firearm, wherein the trigger shield is configured for blocking at least 50% of a trigger accessing area of the firearm, to prevent a finger from accessing to and the trigger from said another side of the firearm and causing accidental discharge, wherein said trigger accessing area is defined as the area that is encircled by the trigger guard and the frame of the firearm, and wherein the magnet mount further comprises an adjustable spacer mounted on the firearm seat, wherein the adjustable spacer protrudes out from an edge of the firearm seat and against a firearm grip and has a size sufficient to protect the firearm’s magazine release from being touched or contacted by the trigger shield and/or said connector causing an inadvertent release of the magazine.
