Like the dive-in with hand straight down from the top and draw. Replaced the holster with a Crossbreed Small Purse Defender.
Stays where you put it until you need it. I keep a pristine never used Raven purse to keep it from hanging me up at airports when swabbing
in case gunpowder residue might be an issue. When I wear one out, I just order a new one and take the "old" "new" and put it into duty.
I am a Firearms Instructor and Law Enforcement Officer. I recently have been instructing a considerable amount of Ladies Handgun classes and Concealed Carry for Women classes. I purchased this bag to use on the range, both my students and I, along with 3 others. I personally have put this bag through its paces and am impressed. It meets all the criteria I set for my students on a quality off the body carry method, and is safe and functional to use. My students also love the way all the GTM bags look, so that's never an issue. I have found all the bags to be very durable and capable of withstanding not only daily use, but heavy training uses as well. I am excited about sharing the GTM bags with my students and they always receive rave reviews from my students (especially during live fire courses).
The only thing that I tell all my students to switch out or replace on these bags, is the holster that comes with them. The holster itself has held up fine and has not presented any issues with the Glock 19 that I have been using. However, many of my students are using sub-compact guns (Glock 43/42, Sig P365, Ruger LCP) as their carry guns. These small sub-compact guns do not fit well in the supplied holster and have a tendency to roll out of or shift in the holster. In my opinion, Universal holsters are never adequate for trusting your life and safety with, therefore I cannot recommend that minor portion of the GTM Bags.
I saw this bag in a different color in a store and wanted to buy one that was in better shape as this one had been scuffed up a bit from being on the rack. The color I wanted was not listed on the website, but Christine and Jennifer were extremely helpful and were able to hook me up with one. I normally carry a Maxpedition Fatboy G.T.G . I like the durability of that bag itself but for anyone familiar with it knows that you're carrying. I wanted to lose the bulk and upgrade my style while still being inconspicuous with my carry. This bag fits the bill, it's very well made and attractive. I love the zipper compartments, unfortunately my phone is too large (Galaxy S21U+) for anything but the main compartment where the wallet/keys/pens are meant to be kept. The only downside is that the Maxpedition bag has the advantage on concealment. With the Maxpedition, the main compartment "hides" the firearm compartment so well that I've had my bag opened and checked at criminal opportunity zones and the firearm was never found. As long as there wasn't a metal detector, I always made it in without having the carry compartment checked. This bag's carry compartment is obvious and I will likely be requested to open and present should I wind up in a place where firearms are scary to other people.
Overall this is a great bag, very well made with some very nice features sewn in. The cost was more than I wanted to spend, but the quality of the product justifies the price tag.
The color is great (tan) and the leather feels amazing, so soft. My S&W Compact fits perfect. I also carry my keys, wallet, chapstick and extra rounds in this purse.
I have had this purse for over a year. I absolutely love the size. I fit everything I need in this purse. Checkbook, credit cards, pens, lip stick, hand wipes, you get the idea. My ruger sr9c fits perfectly. the only complaint I have is the strap. I have ruined more than one shirt. the webbing on the strap is rough and snags a cross body pattern across my shirts. It isn't as bad on cotton t-shirts and after over a year of use it has gotten better. I need to make a sleeve to go over the strap to fix it but I'm not tremendously domestic. I use this purse every day and the toughness of the purse is without question and it still looks great. I am looking for a new gun tote'n mamas purse so I can mix it up a bit. Quality is excellent (other than the strap).
