Thanks a lot for your careful comments. I did think that if I put a trigger-protecting holster inside the tommygunspack that I would have to sew it in, or velcro it. I'm going to carry it around here for a few weeks as you said and draw it unloaded on imaginary rattlesnakes...Cedar Park Dad wrote:Can you situate it such that the pocket holster stays in the bag when you draw, or to put it another way, if you draw the pistol can you draw it clear of both the bag and the holster at the same time? If so I would recommend that, just for safety. If not:
How thick are the "walls" of the holding area? The advantage of a DA/SA is that the DA is often quite heavy, providing a strong safety factor in this instance, and if the containing area is pretty stiff it should be allright. My wife has a Beretta Storm hand cannon in a special purse. It is soft and has a built in softer holster, but is constructed stiffly enough that, with a DA I'd feel perfectly safe carrying with one in the barrel but decocked. Does that style sig also have a safety or is a SA only with a safety? If its a concern (or its SA only) and you have a safety use that as well BUT PRACTICE TAKING THAT SAFETY OFF A LOT AS IN EVERY TIME YOU SHOOT A STRING IN PRACTICE so that muscle memory is complete.
As noted in another thread, if there is concern wear it empty but in DA mode for a week or two and bang the gun pack around a good bit. That should help convince if its safe or not.
EDIT: I was able to open the pic finally of where the holster area is. Again, if you can put a pocket holster in there and draw clear of both cool, if not try for two weeks without it it appears stiff or with good padding. A good DA/SA pistol should be just fine in that setup.

Re: Anyone have a good solution for jogging and carrying.
I received mine yesterday and it's very nice; my Sig P938 fits in the Small's pouch perfectly. It does not, of course, have any internal trigger protection for the Sig, which I want to carry cocked & locked.Pawpaw wrote:Not as pretty, but Tommy's gun packs (and mag buddies) are on sale for $20 with coupon code "SHOTSHOW".

I wonder: should I get a pocket holster for the Sig, with a trigger guard, and stick THAT into the gun pack? Obviously I need to practice with this thing but wonder what others might think about this...

Re: Anyone have a good solution for jogging and carrying.
They wanted $17 for shipping which no doubt puts some money in their pockets. I noticed also that their "wholesale" price is $20 bucks for qty 6.Pawpaw wrote:I don't have a Tommy's, but for $20, I'm thinking about getting in on this one.
They don't appear to be cheaply made at all but obviously their cost is somewhere around $10 bucks to make. Not sure who would pay $137 for one???

Re: Anyone have a good solution for jogging and carrying.
When I looked at this page and the $137 price, I thought you had to have meant "$20 OFF" but no it's $117 off although shipping is almost $20 bucks. No matter, I grabbed one, thanks for this Pawpaw.Pawpaw wrote:Not as pretty, but Tommy's gun packs (and mag buddies) are on sale for $20 with coupon code "SHOTSHOW".
