Opening Up to Off-Body Carry

Galco’s Hidden Agenda, also shown on the opening spread of this story holding a .45 ACP Springfield XD-S and a spare magazine, measures just 91/2"x7"x21/2" and is available in several colors and leather types. 

Blackhawk’s Belt Pouch Holster is a simple affair with belt loops and one separate compartment for a spare magazine. 

Uncle Mike’s PDA Holster clips to the belt and resembles the cases used for various personal digital assistants. 

Galco’s PAX, also with a separate, lockable zippered handgun compartment.

The Galco Metropolitan, with a sewn-in holster accessible through an end-panel zipper.

The Gun Tote’n Mamas’ Concealed Carry Basic Hobo Handbag, also with end-panel, zippered access to a handgun.

Both Galco and Gun Tote’n Mamas offer ladies purses that are stylish and that feature compartments specifically set up to accommodate a holster and spare magazines. That includes Galco’s Bebe clutch, with a separate, lockable zippered holster compartment.

The Blackhawk Advanced Tactical Briefcase, which features compartments capable of housing a handgun and accessible by an external body-side zipper.

The Blackhawk Covert Carry Messenger Bag, which features a padded laptop compartment inside, a waist stabilization strap for cycling and a hook-and-loop-fastened body-side panel that accommodates optional, modular holsters and magazine pouches.

Suitable for users in nearly any walk of life, shoulder bags offer enough space to accommodate daily essentials and a format that easily handles even larger defensive handguns. Here is the affordable leather Gun Tote’n Mamas Men’s Concealed Carry Briefcase with zipper-access to an included Velcro-secured holster.

Blackhawk is at the forefront of the discreet-carry market with its Diversion Line of bags designed to appear as ball-sports equipment carriers but built to securely transport handguns and long guns. They include: (1.) the Racquet Bag, which can accommodate a folding stock rifle up to 29" long; (2.) the Carry Backpack, which features a hidden, body-side handgun compartment; (3.) the Workout Bag, with a removable divider that allows the user to carry multiple long guns or separate upper/lower receivers; and (4.) the Custom Sling Pack, a 131/4"x71/2"x31/4" single-strap pack with a lockable zippered handgun compartment.
