GTM Original GTM-201 Mini Crossbody Concealed Carry Purse

By Sam.S

Most concealed carry handbags get sized around a full-size or compact pistol, which leaves anyone carrying a micro-compact hauling around a lot of empty leather. GTM Original went the other way with its newest bag. The GTM-201/PBBONE is a 7.5 by 7.5 inch crossbody built specifically around P365-class guns, and it’s shipping now.

The shell is USA-sourced top grain cowhide with a soft pebble grain and a matte finish that breaks in over time. GTM Original treats it with a light, PFA-free natural silicone coating so dirt wipes off instead of soaking into the hide. Hardware is gold metallic gloss with 1-3/4 inch zipper pulls, and the inside is fully lined in the khaki Gun Tote’n Mamas logo lining so you can actually see what you’re reaching for.

GTM-201/PBBONE Specifications:

  • Overall Size: 7.5″ W x 7.5″ H x 2.25″ D
  • Material: USA top grain cowhide, PFA-free silicone coated
  • Gun Compartment: 7.5″ W x 7″ H x 1″ D
  • Gun Footprint: 6″ W x 5″ H
  • Holster: Removable Mernickle-designed adjustable, Crossbreed compatible
  • Strap: 32″ to 54″ adjustable, 3/4″ wide, 11-ply wire cable reinforced
  • Wallet: Embedded RFID-protected front panel with rare earth magnet closure
  • Interior: Three open accessory pockets, zippered top closure
  • Color: Bone with gold hardware

The firearm compartment uses GTM’s three-sided zipper layout, so you can open whichever side matches how you want to draw. Top, angled, and side draws all work, and the bag is ambidextrous for left or right hand. Padding along the panel keeps the gun from printing through the leather. When you’re not carrying, that same compartment swallows a phone, a Kindle, or a small tablet. GTM does warn against overstuffing the bag, which is fair advice on any purse holster where draw clearance matters.

The strap is the other piece worth noting. It’s reinforced with 11-ply steel cable against slashing, and it clips off entirely if you want to carry the bag by hand.

Company president Claudia Chisholm said the design delivers what GTM customers expect “in a smaller everyday crossbody.” Pricing wasn’t announced in the release, though the bag is available now through GTM and authorized dealers.

Is a purse this small enough bag for your daily carry, or do you want more room? Let us know. We always appreciate the feedback.
