Lioness Concealed Carry Satchel Bag with Tassel

Nice bag

I like it, however, it is a good bit smaller than I was expecting. Just means I can justify buying a bigger one in a few months....

No Holster Retention

The size of the purse is nice, the stitching on the sides gives it a little flair and I like that you can use it as a hand bag or a cross body. However I don't like that it has a middle separation pocket, I could do without it for more space without going to a larger purse. My main concern and most important is for a CCW bag the holster has a strap that it meant to go around the dovetail ro hold your weapon in place, but that hinders the purpose of being able to draw quickly. So you would have to reach inside, remove the strap and then draw your weapon. Every second counts in an emergency and this feature hinders this dramatically. I can see it and have seen it for a waist carry holster, but for a purse it's not a good thing to have. Additionally, the holster has a thin velcro strap on both sides so you can switch it for left or right hand draw, but that thin piece of velcro only attaches to one side of the purse, so it has very flimsy retention as it's not strong enough to hold your weapon completely in place properly. I've owned many CCW purses and they all had velcro not only on the holster but on both sides of the holster compartment to secure the holster in place from both sides in order to draw the weapon alone and not end up pulling the entire holster out. I think this is poor planning and execution for the most important part of the purse. I won't use the dovetail strap because it's a liability to my safety, so I flipped it to velcro on the opposite side. I also am using a slightly larger compact weapon so it doesn't slide out of the holster as it did with my smaller compact weapon where I would have no choice but to use the dovetail strap to keep it from sliding out. I won't risk my safety on a strap.
