Carrying your gun in your purse
« on: August 18, 2011, 10:57:34 AM »
So Monday through Friday I work in an office and have to get dressed up and carry a purse. Once I get my CCW I will carry my PO1 in this fashion. On the weekends I will have it either in a back pack (for hiking) or in my tank bag on my motorcycle.

I need a holster that will work for all those applications, but mostly the purse.

Any ideas what I should get?

Galco makes carry purses if I am not mistaken. The biggest thing will be finding one that supports the weight of the gun and possibly a spare mag, as well as keeping the gun in the exact same position all the time, so if you need it quickly it is always in the right orientation.

Yea, I saw the gun purses.  I will not be going that route, my gun was expensive enough and I like my purses better :) My purses can definitely support the weight of the gun, and the style of purse I carry, it should be very easy to retrieve a gun ? there are no zippers or snaps to open, just one magnet that holds it closed at the top. And my purse isn?t huge either, so I would be able to find the gun easy.

Securing the holster inside the purse ? not sure about that yet. I think I can clip a holster to one of the inner pockets, or if I got holster for a belt, maybe I could saw something on the inside of my purse that will allow me to attach the holster to that.
