Good Full Sized Carry Handbag/Purse ?

[HK4U]

Coronado Leather makes some really good ones for concealed carry. My wife has a couple now and had another one she used for a number of years. They are not normally what I would call cheap but some times they have close outs and sales that make them reasonable.

I'll check these out.

I played with Kathleen's Gun Totin' Mamas purse a bit, flipping her knife, tactical flashlight and other items from vertical to horizontal and back. Seems things in the purse can pull the leather tight, making a draw of the gun difficult.

It occured to me that we aren't limited to "gun purses," if we see a bag we like. It wouldn't be hard to cut the appropriate sized piece of stiff backing, say Kydex or even heavy leather, then attach holster and maybe even speedloader/magazine holders to this "insert." That should provide secure carry in just about any bag.

I purchased a great full-sized purse from Coronado Leather a few years ago and really like it (coronadoleather.com). Galco also carries some, but they are a little pricey for me.

A coach messenger bag is a great way to conceal, and yes I carry one sometimes.

I want a bag that will match my shoes.
