In some situations, concealed carry in a conventional holster can be difficult. That occurs if there is a specific dress code where your work. Effective concealment can be difficult too when hot weather arrives and we wear fewer layers of clothing.
Galco Gunleather offers several solutions, ways to carry in everyday items that don’t look like containers for handguns. The company calls this “hidden open carry” and it includes such things as day planners with special handgun compartments.
Masquerading as a day planner, the Defense Planner opens to reveal a handgun and spare ammunition. Galco’s smallest planner, it measures only 8 ¼ inches long by 6 ½ inches wide and fits compact defensive handguns. The MSRP for the Defense Planner is $97.
The Hidden Agenda hides a handgun and spare ammo while also being a fully functional day planner. It separates the holster compartment from the business tools for complete discretion. It comes with a calendar and pad of ruled paper. The Hidden Agenda measures 9 1/4 inches long by 7 inches wide. It fits most full-size and compact defensive handguns. It retails for $172.
The iDefense carries not only a defensive handgun, but a tablet computer.
This tablet is held in place outside the gun compartment on a sturdy backing plate that’s fully adjustable for tablet angle.
The iDefense also features an internal pocket for storage of documents or small items.
Coming in at 10 inches long by 8 inches wide, it also fits most full-size and compact defensive handguns.
The MSRP for the iDefense is $184.
All Galco day planners feature a locking zipper compartment and detachable wrist lanyard for added security. All three are available in black, Havana brown or tan premium saddle leather.
Finally, for those whose daily wear is more on the casual side, Galco offers its newest waist pack, the FasTrax PAC. It is designed to blend with casual modern clothing styles while discreetly carrying a compact defensive handgun ready for instant action.
It uses a highly innovative combination of a pivoting holster component and external activation cord.
They enable the gun carrier to unzip the pack and get a handgun into action with incomparable speed relative to legacy waist pack designs. The FasTrax PAC is available in gray/black nylon, multicam, black nylon or black leather. The MSRP ranges from $79 to $109 depending on size and material.
All carry methods must balance lifestyle and threat environment. Hidden open carry holsters are a worthy addition to a gun carrier’s personal holster wardrobe. They allow the gun carrier, no matter how they may be dressed or how hot it might be, to observe the first rule of gunfighting: have a gun. For more information, go to GalcoGunleather.com.
