I LOVE this CC purse! I searched online for quite some time before deciding on this one. It's a tad smaller than I want, but the others I liked were huge (14"x12") and I've been trying to 'downsize' so I opted for this one in the Light Brown. I'm so glad I did! The leather is amazing and so pretty, very sturdy. And, even though I would like and extra inch of width on the bottom, I can actually fit all of my stuff (necessities, meaning I had to forgo my travel-size pefume) w/out any trouble, even w/ my S&W .38 hidden inside. The gun compartment is padded and roomy and easy to access, and I did opt to not use the included holster. The front pouch/pocket is actually quite roomy, which makes up for the main compartant being a bit snug w/ the gun inside, so, like I said, I can fit my all of my stuff w/out any trouble. I like being able to wear it crossbody. I am so glad I purchased this CC purse.
