New Purse!!!
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 1:59 pm
While I am waiting for my CHL application to be processed, I started looking for purses - specifically I was looking for one that had a zippered pocket large enough to fit a firearm. Now, after spending some time reading this forum, I know that carrying in a purse is not the preferred method for a ccw, but it is what I am comfortable with at this point in time; I just don't work in a n environment where I can stay holstered throughout the day.
So finding a purse ccw is my best option for right now. I didn't really think that I was asking for much, but the pickings out there for my specific purpose were quite slim! I wasn't happy with the design of the purses made specifically for cc, so I had to go shopping for it. What made it harder was the fact that I couldn't just carry the Sig around with me at Macy's and try stuffing it into various purses to see if it would work. After weeks of searching, I finally found it!
It is an antique leather bag made by Hobo International, and measures 15" x 9" x 5". That is a Glock 19 that I have pictured next to it. The last picture shows that it pretty much just slips into the bag!
I still need to get a holster sewn into the lining of that pocket. Any recommendations for getting this done in the Houston area?
