Conceal carry purse
My wife has had her LTCF for a couple of years now but doesn't actively carry. Normally we keep a gun locked up in the truck for her when she's out by herself but doesn't really do her any good in a store etc. She prefers to wear leggings so no good option for an actual conceal carry, last year I bought her a bellyband style conceal belt but she wasn't a fan of it.
With the world quickly going to shit I was talking about her starting to actually carry when she's out without me. She mentioned that she'd be interested in a carry purse so she could keep it on her.
I know this isn't as ideal as being directly on her body but it's the next best thing. Looking for recommendations on a good option, she typically prefers smaller purses so nothing huge.
I bought her a Kimber Micro 9 which is what she'll have that will go in a custom IKC holster I got for her.

Re: Conceal carry purse
I have not heard they made concealed carry purses but that doesn’t mean they are not out there. Would it just be a regular purse with a section to place the firearm in? What do I know

Re: Conceal carry purse
It's time to sit the wife down and get her to understand there is no substitute for on body carry. Purse carry may sound like a good idea but it's not. The purse can be left behind, it can be stolen, and it's actually a very slow to draw when you need to have the firearm. I always discourage purse carry. Hip or appendix carry are the two best options for concealed carry. Single stack 9's can be very slim, slim enough to carry IWB in even the tightest of leggings or jeans. And let's face it guys the only reason for wanting double stack nines with as many rounds as it can fit is all about mine is bigger than yours. Your average self defense use of a firearm is one to three shots. There are also the very popular with ladies gun the 380. It's smaller, less powerful and less effective than a 9mm but with people that have weaker hands they are easier to rack the slide and manage recoil. Please have this discussion with your wife and do your research. Purse carry is fraught with major flaws for concealed carry.

Re: Conceal carry purse
I'm wondering if she's proficient with the gun first.

Re: Conceal carry purse
When a woman is assaulted, it is usually a strong-arm robbery. What gets taken from a woman? Her purse!
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.
