I agree with 88GT. I carry both ways depending on where I am going. My purse is designed for cc and I am happy with its style and comfort for carrying. I also have practiced opening the compartment that holds my gun and making sure I can access my gun if needed. I also like that it will take a full size 45 with no problem at all. I also like the fact that I can lock that compartment if I am going to be somewhere where small children will be present and I would need to set my purse down or hang it on a chair such as a baby shower, bridal shower or family type gathering.
My purse has a reinforced strap so that a person couldn't just cut through it and take it.
I can't see how this is any less accessible than when women carry a gun in their bra or in a belly band, which I assume would have to go under your clothes to not be seen. I still have not quite figured out how that works or how they feel safe carrying that way. I have mine either tucked in a holster on my waistband or in my purse....or both.
