Arguments exist regarding the best way for a woman to carry a concealed pistol. Some say it is best to carry the pistol "on the body," while others say it is best to carry the pistol "off the body." Both of these positions can be right, as long as the woman who decides which is best is comfortable with her choice and it works for her. The comfort level has a lot to do with what type of carry is elected. The pros and cons of each type of carry must be examined to determine the best for any one.
Once the decision is made for “on” or “off” body carry a woman would probably stay with the same body carry option unless there something drastic that changes her mind. Making the decision for one or the other is very important. Each type of carry requires a great deal of practice to become proficient. You will have to preform a lot of dry fire in order to become comfortable with memory
Carrying a concealed pistol in a purse is a very convenient way to do it. A woman hardly ever goes anywhere without a purse. It is not very likely that a purse will be left anywhere because of the natural tendency of a woman to keep her purse at her side. The concealed carry bag is even more likely to be at its intended location, by her side, since there is now a pistol inside.
Having easy access to her pistol makes the purse an obvious choice for carrying concealed. It is very easy to insert her hand into the side pocket of her purse to retrieve a pistol. Much easier than groping inside her clothes to retrieve a gun.
A woman having her hand inside a carry bag that is next to her body is natural and can be done very quickly. The action to do the retrieval will not be obvious to anyone that is close by. The situating of the concealed pocket on a purse next to the body is such that it promotes easy access. A zippered pocket can be opened with discretion in order to get to the gun.
“Off” body carry in a purse gives you much better concealment of your pistol. If you carry a firearm at pistol at your waist and you move close to others it will be difficult to keep the pistol from being noticed. Your wardrobe will have to be just perfect to keep others from noticing a pistol in your bra. It can be very awkward pulling a pistol from inside your blouse, not to mention the awkward feeling of having a pistol in your clothes.
The pistol purses that are available today are designed to be more easily included in the outfits of today. The conceal bags that you can get now are stylish and there are a wide variety of types and sizes to accommodate any concealed carry situation. Women want to feel comfortable when carrying concealed and the purse offers that along with the confidence of self protection.
