O.K. - Once again, why on earth would a product that normally retails for $137.00 be given away? (yeah, they don't pay for the freight, so there is cost...)

You can't give away the store and make money.

Nor, are there altruists that hope to stay in business.

C'mon, this is fishy to say the least...

What's the answer?

If we eliminate suspicion and add good intention.

Great marketing and/or publicity for future sales?

Or...?

I have the same question, but at $15 (actually $30 for two), I'm not gambling much. It's obviously not a $130+ product.

Nothing fishy about the company, though I don't know that they've ever sold one of those for $137.

I got one when it was a Deal of the Day iirc $20 shipped. My assumption has always been "cost ten bucks maybe then $5 for shipping so they still make a few dollars" and now I get emails from them every day and last time I bit it was for a Gunderwear pouch.

So IMO if they wanted for this deal $15 for shipping then they covered their costs. Musta had lots of inventory to unload before the EOQ.

I think they're a fine company but like any these days it can't be easy to make payroll every month...

In the interest of full disclosure: I called them and asked if they'd ever sold one of these packs for $137.00.

I was assured that, yes, they sell them for that price all the time...sure they do....

I have a bridge...

Well FWIW they're certainly worth $25 bucks, so I feel for $20 it was a bargain, and for "free with $15 shipping" or whatever that was dirt cheap. And it is a very well-constructed item with no corners cut anywhere that I can determine.

Now, I still don't know if I ever want to leave the house wearing what essentially is a "fanny pack"! :oops:

I already have a large one, but I've never worn it.

I ordered the small one for $15.xx. You see, I sometimes pocket carry my P938, but that leaves me a little short on pocket space for other essentials. I figure the small one will be good for that when I pocket carry the little 9. :mrgreen:

Ha! Mine's the P938 too, and while I suppose I could pocket-carry it when wearing my cargo shorts I have not tried that. Yup I got the small TGP.

So far the most "concealed" option of all that I've tried is Tommys Gunderwear (basically a jockstrap for your gun minus the leg straps) but this is certainly not a quick-draw carry method! And you need room down there which in my old age I have now... :oops: ;-) :mrgreen:

Received confirmation that my order shipped as well. Looking forward to putting these to good use at Six Flags and other places with a firearm or not depending on the venue.

I like my size small. Very good quality, but too small.

Just got shipping notice for my size medium.
$15. Worth it, and then some.

Skeptical?

Which firearm are you stuffing in that small size? I can't see myself using this except for hikes possibly, and I'd likely have either a G23 or G27 on me. Sounds like the small wouldn't accommodate the G23.

edit: just checked dimensions on the 23. Small looks to be about .5" too short in length and width both. Medium it is. -- code still works.

Additionally, Talon Grips has a $3 off code for Independence Day "RedWhiteAndBlue" though not sure how long it will last, so probably not worth its own thread.

Shoving skepticism aside I bought a large for Glock 19.

I got it today.

Very impressive shipping time

The product is as many have said quite high quality.

However, my G19 sits in the gun compartment rather loosely as it doesn't have a "Gun Pocket" as in another pack I've been using. This pocket is detachable as it velcros in place and keeps the gun from loosely flopping around.

I'm kinda insecure about a pistol not secured by a "gun pocket" i.e. a bit of a tiny holster.

I've done a search for a youtube video, but so far haven't been successful.

Anyone know how to make one and pass on the info?

I'd sure hate placing my finger on an unsecured trigger...

Thanks!

P2000SK

The hammer catches enough of the zipper to interfere with rapidly deploying (size small).
I'm sure the medium will be big enough.
