Something doesn't jive with the description of this purse and what I actually received.  The pictures are accurate, but I have to wonder if the written description is for another bag.  It is NOT alligator embossed leather.  Just regular pebbled leather texture finish.  The described dimensions of 14&#34; wide and 12&#34; tall are not accurate either.  The actual bag is much smaller than that at approximately 11-1/2&#34; wide and 9&#34; tall.  From the description I was expecting a larger bag and really would like it better if it was larger.  It would likely be fine for many ladies, but I tend to carry extra &#34;stuff&#34;.  The firearm pouch is just fine.  Holster is secured by velcro and holds the gun in place well.  The snubby revolver I carry fits with room to spare and the zippers are plenty adequate for drawing it easily.  Quality of the leather is good and it appears to be well-made.  My only issue is with the overall size.  Too bad they don't make it in a larger size.  I carried it for a day or two to see how it would work, but it's just too small for my needs, so returned it and will look for something just a bit larger.
