Deadcalm,
For the past three years or so, I've been using the Uncle Mike's Concealment Briefcase. It's made of black ballasitc nylon and has the appearance of a computer portfolio. It served double purpose for me as in addition to carrying either a Kahr K9 or Glock 23 and a spare magazine along with a small fixed blade knife, I used it to carry my notebook computer. In the three years of carry in this fashon, I was never made or given a second look as it fit right in with the nylon cases the other computer professionals carried.
Oh yea, the price was right too..
The portfolio has a hidden compartment which is equipped with a nylon holster which is attached to the inside of the compartment via a hook and loop material. It can be adjusted for either right or left hand draw.
While it worked well I found that a full sized pistol (1911a1 or Glock 21) just wouldn't fit in the concealment compatment. Compact handguns like the Kahr, G23, Colt Officer's ACP and S&W mod 66 could be easily concealed.
BTW, when I arrived at work, I locked the whole case in a drawer to prevent sneaky fingers from discovering my little secret. but I made sure I could get the drawer open in short order should something go very bad in the office.
I was really more concearned with the walk from the parking lot to and from the office. The time of day I usually came to work presented me with a host of street people always looking for a handout, some could be very persistant and pushy. So I was always in condition orange during that twice daily walk. Thank God, I had no serious encounters.
