Do you ladies happen to know of any places in DFW area that have good collections of carry purses?

We saw some really nice ones at Cabella’s. My wife almost picked out a nice leather one but it was a little pricey though.

I've had great luck finding purses for Mrs. Iunnrais at the Ft Worth gun shows. More so actually than I've had finding items for myself.

Unfortunately I am never off on Saturday’s and Sundays. I haven’t been to a fun show inn over 25 years. My wife is having a hard time trying to decide just by looking online. Thanks for the help.

Academy has a couple. Not a great selection, but I did pick up one for <$50 to use as a demo in my LTC classes. Mrs. AF-Odin said it was OK.

if you can't get to a local gun show....there are a ton on Amazon, and they are pretty good prices too. Use "American Bling" or "Montana West" as one of your searches, then go from there, I bet you'll find what you're looking for.

I have a wardrobe of Montana West/American Bling purses. Yes, I know it's best to carry on body, and I do, but I like purse carry also.

Gun tot'n Mama's has displays at Cabela's, bass pro and field & stream in the dfw area.
She owns a number of them which shall remain unspoken (I don't ask about purses or shoes, she doesn't ask about knives or holsters) and has nothing but good things to say about them.
While I have yet to see an ansi label on any of them I can personally attest to the handles being suitable for a minimum of 3\4 of a ton load.

:lol: :lol: I think my husband has said much the same about my purses "what on earth are you carrying in this?"

My wife has a few different carry purses, though she usually actually carries on body. Four or five years ago I purchased a Coronado Leather purse for her online (very high quality leather and construction, but a bit pricey). It is the purse she carries almost every day, and still looks great, though she did mention getting out the saddle soap and conditioner to refresh it a bit.

Its capacity seems similar to Mary Poppins' bag and I am pretty sure the weight rating is near a metric ton, but the wide convertible strap seems to spread the weight out a bit making it a bit more comfortable to carry the loads it is capable of.
