[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 4253092, member: 4864"] I personally like carrying my kahr, which I bought for my daughter, who isn't 21 yet. Easy to dress around due to the size, and triggers are similar. I don't see an issue with off body carry, especially for a young lady. First, a purse will always be a target regardless of what's in it, so you should be aware and train accordingly. So crossbody straps should always be used. I use a Maxpedition jumbo versa for my kids' diaper bag, and keep a P07 in it, and whatever flavor of the day on my body in case I am separated from the bag, but sometimes my only sidearm is what's in the bag. The bag is always buckled into the cart or stroller, and then the carts buckles go through it as well. There is also an apple air tag in the bag, so if I am ever more than a few feet away from it, my watch or phone notify me, so leaving it behind is less of a concern. But how many guns have been left in a bathroom that weren't in a purse? Just as many if not more I'd imagine. . She carries one of those Lululemon crossbodies, and it fits nice in there as does a j-frame, which I have a few of as well. So that alleviates that issue of it being snatched. She can unzip the pouch before getting out of the car, and clip her keys or something to the zipper to make it easier to grab and rip open if she needs to. Some of ya'll dont have young daughters and it shows.
