gun concealed in wallet

[mathews28]

i seem to vaguely remember a small pistol disguised in a wallet. does anybody know what the gun or contraption is

 

[No Time to Shoot]

I saw one that was a 5 shot .22 magnum revolver wrapped in a black leather wallet with a trigger hole.

I know this isn't much help but it's all I can remember.

I've not seen one with a revolver. All semi autos.

Be careful that is treading the AOW status.

Why? Is that considered putting a stock on a handgun?

Sorry bout that. Couldn't get another pic to load, was in a hurry. I've seen several bulletins on officer safety with these recently!

From leather concealment  wallet holster, .32 .380 kel-tec P32 P3AT 

Note: In the early 90's, a law was passed prohibiting a gun from being carried in a concealed container. The manufacturer contacted the ATF for a ruling on this holster. Because this holster does not place the gun in a container, the ATF ruled this holster is exempt from the this law and is available to consumers without any additional registration, tax stamps, etc.

Even though they have an exemption letter that means nothing, the ATF is famous for using such letters only to have them counter-dict later and say that such device is illegal or falls under the NFA.

I've seen this as a NAA 22 5 shot revolver in a wallet.

Back in the day at gunshows there were wallet guns available. I do think it is a grey issue now along the lines of AOW. Back in the 1980's they were for sale now none seem to be. These were older 1930's looking pieces. Some auto, derringer and small revolver.

Not a gray issue at all. BATFE has said specifically that a functioning firearm inside a wallet holster with a trigger hole is an AOW because it doesn't look like a gun, but fires a bullet. The holster and firearm separately are not restricted, it's when you put the two together.

That's how my brother carries his Bersa. I've never seen them with revolvers either.

I take it thats why i have not seen them. I have seen the wallets after that but never the whole setup.

Net search turned this up:

Also, something similar for revolvers (sorta) - but without the trigger hole:

Seems a little hard to access ^. *shrugs*

The first one is an AOW

The second is a pocket holster

Figured as much.

The second is a pocket holster

Ah! Never seen a view straight on like that.
Usually from a side angle or the top (showing the opening).
Thanks.

They aren't hard to access at all. My LCP comes out pretty quick. It does take some practice and getting used to though. Nobody ever even notices that it looks like I'm carrying 2 wallets. Their mistake. It's nice to grab when the Kimber is sleeping.

buddy of mine has this, it just seems like it would not be as fast to pull vs a back pocket holster

 

[ghitch75]

off topic......what would this be a AOW?

doubt that would be an AOW because it looks like a gun...
