text: I do not recommend this purse for its intended purpose!  It is market as designed to carry your personal protection device, which means it should do so in a safe manner.  The straps do not last period.  I carried this purse daily for about 1-2 hours a day.  The total weight in my purse never exceeded more than 3 1/2 pounds. The straps began to wear at the end of the second month and became unsafe to carry by the end of the third month.  No I do not trust my life or any other woman's life with this purse.<br />I contacted the company and was told that they only offer a 30 day return period, but would be glad to extend me 20% off my next purchase of one of their crappy unsafe products that are marketed as designed to carry a weapon.  The purses I have bought from Belk, Kohl's, and Marshalls will suit me fine.  They are less expensive, have held up with the same item I carry; they just lack a Velcro strip that secures a holsters.
