There are a huge number of messenger bags available in all kinds of sizes and styles. But your initial inquiry ruled them out. If you don't want a messenger-type bag then you are likely to wind up with a regular laptop bag or briefcase. The "bags that are not purses for men" market segment is dominated by messenger bags.

I have about 5 messenger bags. I tend to carry one all the time, and the others are special-purpose. I just got one that looked right to me from Wilson's Leather. For CC of a gun in a messenger bag, it helps to have a body-side pocket that you can use to put a pocket holster or other holster in.

I have another from EastPak that I use to carry my laptop and other things when I ride my bike to work. Also have one that is much beefier made by Kingston, it works great for carrying a laptop and misc. accessories but it is just too bulky and heavy to use all the time.

Just shop around and find something that suits you. There are all kinds.

You don't say.

Real men don't carry "man bags" or ever utter such a term.

"Real men" don't care what other people think about it.
