PHOENIX, July 2020
Effective concealment can be challenging when hot weather arrives and we wear fewer layers of clothing. One solution is holsters carried openly that don’t
look like holsters – what we at Galco call “hidden open carry.” This category includes holster handbags for women, as well as briefcases, messenger bags, and even backpacks for both sexes.
With a line of eight leather holster handbags to choose from, female gun carriers
have options that fit their personal style. All feature a gun compartment that is
separate from the main body of the handbag, with a locking zipper pull for added security. An internal elasticized nylon gun pocket fits a broad range of handguns and keeps the firearm in a consistent position for a fast draw. MSRP varies from $175 to $355.
The innovative CarrySafe™ 2.0 allows safe and effective handgun carry in
handbags, briefcases, messenger and bug-out bags, and innumerable other
locations. An elasticized nylon holster attaches to a stiff leather backing plate using hook-and-loop pads. A clip on the backing plate allows the user to adjust the ride height of the holster to accommodate different bags and draw preferences, while the hook-and-loop holster attachment method allows infinite variation in holster angle. A reinforced thumb break strap offers excellent retention with a fast draw. The included accessory carrier can be quickly and easily adjusted to fit a spare magazine, speed loader, E-Z Loader, flashlight, pepper spray, and many other accessories. MSRP is $52.
All carry methods must balance lifestyle and threat environment. Hidden open carry holsters are a worthy addition to a gun carrier’s personal holster wardrobe. They allow the gun carrier, no matter how they may be dressed or how hot it might be, to observe the First Rule of Gunfighting: have a gun!
