I made this bag for my wife.

It's not a purse but made to carry her pistol, ammo, hearing protection and eye protection. The bags we looked at in the store were either too small or too big so I made her one.

This has a hard bottom to support the ammo (I cut a clipboard to fit and covered it with foam and leather). That was a pain sewing with that in the purse. I also padded the sides and bottom with foam. Next time I'll make the bottom separate and place it in the bag after I sew it. Live and learn.

This was also the first time that I've used a zipper. I was worried that it would be real tricky to do but no problem!

I also posted pictures on the group photo page.

Hi Art,

Congratulations, that is a really excellent bag! Shame about the cast-plastic zipper though!

I mean, a quality piece of work, like yours, deserves a nice, solid brass one.

Thanks Steve. It's a black metal zipper though. I like your suggestion and from now on I will be getting brass.

That's a really cute purse :-)

I'd hate to be the guy who thinks your lady with her high fashion bag is an easy mark. Seriously, it looks as good as some of the purses I look at that cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.

I agree that the black zipper doesn't match the color scheme but otherwise it ROCKS!!!

Keep the zipper oiled up so it doesn't hang when she needs to get in her bag quickly. (hopefully that's NEVER).

Nice job

Support Quality. We are all humans. Buy the best no matter where it's made. That way everyone lives in harmony. Nature knows no flags.

This bag is just for taking her gun to class and the range. She bought a purse at the gun show with a holster pocket for everyday use. She has to wait until she gets her conceal license. She already put in for it. Should be here in a week or two. LOL I never thought MY wife would own a gun let alone carry one.

I use liquid silcone on zippers to make them slide nicer. they don't hangup anymore.
