Concealed carry Purses
Considering upgrading your handbag to a concealed carry purse? Here's some things to look for. Quality leather or fabric is obviously vital in your bag lasting any amount of time. Especially if you are carrying this around every day, it needs to withstand lots of abuse. The same goes with straps. Especially if your gun is a little heavier, or if you keep a good amount of stuff in your bag. It is also very important that your firearm has a spot separate from all else in the purse. You don't want anything turning off your safety, causing an accidental discharge, or jamming into the trigger guard! Lastly, check for nylon zippers vs. metal ones. If a tooth of a metal zipper goes missing, you are going to have a heck of a time opeing it! And goodness knows that is the last thing you need in an emergency situation!
Look for shoulder straps that are strong enough to carry the weight of the purse when it contains your firearm, an extra magazine and all your other stuff … it all adds up. Gun Tote’n Mamas’ shoulder straps are reinforced with wire for strength and to prevent someone from easily cutting a strap with a knife. Also, if the purse you like has short, attached handles, make sure it also has a long shoulder strap that you can use, attached with D-rings. You want to carry cross-body when the need arises.
