Innovative Western-driven brand Montana West just unveiled its first Western concealed carry sling bag collection, right in time to celebrate International Women's day. Designed to blend Western style with CCW utility, this sling bag is a big step forward to enrich Montana West concealed carry purse categories, apart from the existing concealed carry tote and shoulder bags.

"We call it 'extended wear' rather than 'off-body wear' because you can comfortably carry it all day long, said Mathew, lead prototype designer for Montana West purse. "The quick-draw pull tab, reinforced straps, and ambidextrous accessibility built in this concealed carry sling bag make it a natural to modern carriers."

The newborn sling bag for concealed carry retains the traditional zipper closure, a feature trusted by approximately 70-80% of concealed carry bags for its durability and safety. Montana West has opted to forgo the idea of a magnetic closure until a safer and more reliable solution emerges. Unlike previous CCW purse designs from the brand, this new collection introduces a Quick-Draw Pull Tab and chest carry. This innovation ensures quick and reliable retrieval of gear without the need to look down or struggle with zippers. Additionally, a spacious opening further enhances accessibility, allowing for swift and seamless firearm retrieval.

"We noticed that many female CCW customers were customizing our sling bags for concealed carry, and we wanted to provide them with a purpose-built solution that embodies the spirit of the West. It's one of those products you don't realize you need until you try it. We believe this bag empowers both women and men to feel stylish, secure, and prepared for any situation", said Kat, aftersales manager at Montana West.

Crafted from eco-friendly vegan leather, the bag emphasizes sustainability while offering ample space to accommodate larger firearms like the Beretta Model 92FS. Reinforced straps, free from Western decorative chains, ensure a secure and comfortable fit, minimizing the risk of slipping or snatching during use. As requested by numerous customers, the interior features a soft, fleece-lined compartment designed for holster attachment.

Collaborations with notable figures in the industry mark another significant step forward for Montana West. After consulting with several influencers in the niche, such as Rebelkitty, thegunnygal, and sheequipsherself, the Ambidextrous Design was developed to ensure the bag adapts seamlessly to both left-handed and right-handed users.

"In a hope to deliver on all fronts including style, durability, and practicality, the design team took a lot of dedication into it." Continues Mathew, "The purse should adapt to our users, not the other way around. Overall discreet and practical in style is greatly appreciated."

The team took many using-scenarios into consideration before development: parents on the go, the design aims to address the discomfort of traditional hip holsters, particularly when bending or crouching to attend to children. Similarly, motorcycle and bike riders benefit from the adjustable shoulder strap, which allows the bag to be positioned higher on the chest. This placement prevents interference with the motorcycle tank or bike frame while keeping the firearm within reach, ensuring both safety and convenience during rides.

The sling bag also serves as a good option for plus-size carriers who may find on-body carry uncomfortable or impractical, eliminating the need to navigate a waistband holster. Beyond specific user groups, the bag is well-suited for everyday activities such as shopping, hiking, running errands, or visiting the gym, ensuring the firearm remains concealed and secure while offering ample space for essentials like phones, keys, and wallets.
