A specialized type of satchel designed for discreetly carrying a firearm, this bag often features a dedicated, quick-access compartment, typically with a holster or retention strap. These compartments are usually positioned for easy cross-draw access by the dominant hand. Such bags may incorporate reinforced stitching, robust materials, and covert pockets for ammunition or other accessories. They are available in various styles and sizes to suit individual needs and preferences, blending in with everyday attire while prioritizing firearm security and accessibility.
The primary advantage of such bags lies in their ability to provide secure and convenient transportation of a personal firearm for self-defense. Discretion is a key feature, allowing individuals to carry a firearm without attracting undue attention. Historical context for this type of bag can be traced back to traditional messenger bags and military satchels repurposed for carrying concealed weapons. The evolution of design and materials has led to the development of specialized bags that prioritize both functionality and concealment.
