Umm, what does every woman take with her everywhere except to maybe the shower or bathtub?

Her purse!

There are now a lot of holster purses on the market-I personally bought the wife a Browning for Christmas. She likes it OK but it’s way too big for the small Remington RM 380 she totes...

Just an idea: it might behoove your wife to start selling such in her clothing store-with first considering her clientele, location, etc. I am NOT a businessman, so...

Oh, don’t you worry about it ! We’re taking things in a direction soon.

The problem is that we don’t create the clothes. We only source them. There are plenty of sources for carry handbags and holsters. Competing is tough.

On our supply side, there aren’t great options. Even in survival stuff - People out there are already selling at the least profits I’ve ever seen. We were approved to resell 5.11 Tactical and we were getting prices that were higher than sellers on Ebay !

There is no profit margin, so there is no business. We’re still looking for that magic thing to tie it all together. I did get access to about 400 very, very high end knives though and I’m trying to work that deal out. Again, the profit margins aren’t that great but it’s a market edge (Pardon the pun) because 99.999999% of people are selling chinese garbage knives.

The other side of the equation is that 99.999999% of people are buying the cheapest garbage they can possibly find.

It’s no secret that retail / bargain sales are really tough these days.

On that note, she is carrying a CCW purse. It’s expensive and its... a damned purse. I could get a woman’s purse away in under a minute.

Purse carry also introduces another interesting dilemma...

I have a 4 year old and a safe. I wear the pistol “Almost constantly”. The solution ? I installed a strong magnet in my closet, far away from her hands (She isn’t aware that it’s there). This way I can grab it quickly on the way out the door. But I even walk around the house with a gun on my hip. When I don’t, it’s in the safe or in the closet near the ceiling.

She’ll have to adapt a new habit. When she comes home the purse can no longer “just go on the coat rack”. Nay, it has to be treated like the weapon itself. A holster doesn’t have the same need.

So purse carry can often leave the firearm away from the person, which is a recipe for disaster whenever ANYONE (of any age) is around.
