View Full Version : Anyone in town carry CCW purses?
Wife is starting to think more about CCWing and would like to look at purses specifically designed for that. We're west Denver but willing to go anywhere along front range for good selection.
I'm not 100% sure but I might have seen some at Jensen's up in Loveland.
You might give them a call and ask.

My wife is very happy with hers.

I would say Jensen's for the northern folks, and Green mountain guns for the metro guys.

Yep these are really good quality
Rocky Mountain Shooting Sports (RMSS.com) in FoCo has a couple dozen on their rack near the front door. They range from small and cheap to large/fashionable/expensive. If it's a journey for you, I can stop by and snap a few pics, just let me know what your wife is in the market for.

No, I only carry my CCW purse when I'm in the country. I don't see a need to carry my CCW purse in town...

Ahh but do you carry a CCW purse on the bike?

LOL, nah, I just sling my AR15 over my back...
After having been hit by 8 cars, an AR on my back somehow scares people into thinking twice about running me off the road... [LOL]

Neve's off Pecos and I 70
Precinct Police Products on Wadsworth in Arvada
Adamson Police Products in Frederick right off I 25
If you already know what you want, ordering online will probably be cheaper.
Is there any chance she would consider finding a comfortable way to carry on her person? It has always bugged me working with female partners when I know their firearm is in a bag under the table rather than next to their arm or hand.

Saw a reasonably priced selection of such purses at a vendor at the Loveland gun show last month.
Will check Neve's, Precinct, and Blue Core later this week. Her only experience with a firearm is with a G17, of which I'd say she has more than many folks, so she's wanting to carry a G26 because of her familiarity with the platform. I'm trying to steer here toward a S&W .38 centennial air-weight. Thoughts? I understand there are pros and cons to both (G26 and .38snub), but for her I see an ability to shoot reliably from a purse, from a pocket, and at contact distances more important than the advantages a G26 might provide, not to mention being considerably lighter in a purse. Oh - and no chance of on person carry.

To be honest, having owned and shot both many times, I'd steer her towards the G26 over the revolver. Assuming she has never fired an air weight 38, she is not likely to enjoy the experience, especially using a hotter defense load. If she doesn't enjoy shooting it, she probably won't train with it.
It's hard to argue with the soft recoil of the G26, and the firepower of 10+1 in 9mm vs 5 of .38 just my experience.

+1 I love my wheel guns, but for 3 yards or less, not much will beat a reliable Glock. If she can lock the slide back, shoot it accurately with good JHP rounds, it will server her well.
If she does have to use it, it may wind up in an evidence vault for quite some time. Glocks are cheap and easy to replace.
It's not a purse, it's a satchel. Indiana Jones carried one.

Cabelas Lonetree had 3 Gun Toten Mama purses in the bargain cave last weekend.
Kel-Tec had this posted on their Facebook page today- "Do you practice drawing from your holster during range time? If not, you should. Always take some time to practice real life scenarios. If you ankle carry, practice drawing from there. If you hip carry, do the same. If you carry in your purse ladies, have someone steal your purse and run away so you can learn not to carry in your purse."
It made me think of this thread. I know it is better to have it in a purse rather than not have it at all.

That's awesome! Everything's a trade off. She rides RTD from Conifer to downtown Denver every day and now it's dark in the morning and dark at night. I'd like for her to carry her AR with three reloads, but it's just not practical. [AR15] She's not willing/interested in making the full wardrobe change to accommodate on-person carry, so the purse is the next best thing. FYI to all interested, I went to Neves and Precinct yesterday. Neves had a couple ccw purses, but they were very 'duty' looking. I'm hoping to get to 5280 today and hopefully down to that Cabelas tomorrow. Thanks to all for the suggestions so far. -c
I have a leather pistol case that looks like a Bible cover or a day-planner. It holds a full-size Sig 220 and up to four spare mags.
Take it to church and it sits next to me in the pew.
Take it to restaurants, and it sits on the table.
Less likely for someone to steal than a purse.

Just got my wife to start using her Galco purse that I purchased 8 years ago. She said it's in fashion now. What ever that means!
