SHOT SHOW 2015: Fashion Firearm Handbags!

/ January 31, 2015 / No comments

DSCN0855I stopped by JaCee Apple’s booth at SHOT Show 2015 and she walked me through her conceal carry handbags.  She is the owner and designer for Fashion Firearm Handbags, based out of Grand Junction, CO.  She also has about 150 distributors across the country.  Her purses are not only beautiful, but they were the first handbags I personally found that met all my safety criteria for concealing a handgun. You can watch the full interview below for all the details. I can tell you from the time I got to spend touching and exploring these handbags, they are very high quality, hand stitched, with very strong hardware to include a cable through the strap. They are also about half the price of some bags I have reviewed that do not have many of the safety enhancements JaCee ensures are part of her design. Her products include matching wallets, holsters, and even pistol cases! Please go check out her website and keep Fashion Firearm Handbags in mind when you are in the market for a new handbag!

About my SHOT Show 2015: Just a little tease

/ January 25, 2015 / No comments

Screen Shot 2015-01-25 at 4.13.50 PMI attended my second SHOT Show® this year, but I only made it there by the skin of my teeth.  I have had a year full of change, my oldest child graduated from high school and started College, I retired from the Navy after 23+ years, I completed a successful job search and began a new career. As they say: change is constant. My biggest problem was the amount of vacation time I had available to me. I decided to use half the vacation time I had built up, which allowed me to go to Media Day at the Range, and two days of SHOT, but I had to leave Wednesday which meant I missed the Ladies Industry Dinner (my only regret!) All in all, it was a wonderful week!

I will have many exciting new products to show you in the coming days. I spent a lot of time looking at gear specifically for ladies.  I found a few new pistol designs, conceal carry options for women, and plenty of optics and long-range equipment as well. I was also able to see many of my industry and firearms media friends.  Great people like Hank and Lola Strange, my friends from We Like Shooting, Zeke from Talking Lead, Eden (Lil’ Red Danger), and Jason from Easy Bake Gun Club.  As with last year, I got to visit with the best gunsmith in the world, and I was SO thankful to see him!

Walter White from Breaking Bad (AMC)

I might even tell you about the day I went “Breaking Bad” in my zippy Mazdaspeed3, but you’ll have to beg to hear that one. It is one moment I am glad I didn’t get on video!

My new year’s resolution was to spend more time doing what I love, and that includes shooting and writing about shooting! SHOT is just what I needed to fuel my blogging fires.  Stay tuned…
