You are a breath of fresh air to women who carry. Thank you for your common sense.
Thank you so much for including videos for moms! ❤
This looks like such a good idea! It genuinely looks comfortable, too. Regular purses tend to either hurt my shoulder or bounce around and be in the way. Bonus points for it being cute!
It's like you're an angel. I just had my first child and have been trying to find convenient ways to carry. You're the best!
Be VERY careful, toddlers ( under 2 years old) have unzipped mother's purse in store and shot the mother.
Blessings 👍
Yup. That’s why you should NEVER allow access by anyone else.
I found your channel a couple weeks ago. Great content. Very informative.
Please keep them coming!!!
Really informative, and I love the detail you show with the different pockets and draws. Trying to decide if I could use this as a hands-free purse while still using my current belly band holster.
I'm a dude(not a flamer) and must say that this bag looks great for women. Very nice design and ways to carry.
Great bag and options! I had been thinking about the bag Tactica offers, which is similar. But tonight you have opened and entire option line. Thank you so much. I also have to respond to your class. I cannot wait.
I ordered one of these bags last week and it is due to be delivered tomorrow! I am even more excited about it after watching your video. I ordered the Standard Pheonix in Purple and I agree with you Stav, I think they look pretty neat. They would be great to use on a motorcycle, bike, horseback riding etc. I can't wait to try it out!
I have a bag like this from Tactica and love it! It is so nice to get a purse off my shoulder!!
I've been wearing a thigh purse/bag for over 3 years now and love it
Just ordered this bag! They have it in a beautiful wine color now ♥️ so happy to see you did this video! I was just randomly scrolling through and saw you did it! Even more excited to get it now!
Thank you for all the videos! I just got this bag for my 43x however the bag magnetic pocket is a very tight fit for it but my husband’s shield fits in it great
I LOVE my Ukoala bag. I wear it like a saddle bag on the waist and leg (wore with a skirt too!). And works really nicely for my bro in his wheelchair too! I also found it at the USCCA Expo in Fort Worth last year. Highly recommend going to it this year for anyone interested (not a promo or anything lol, I just loved it)
I have a 2 year old and haven’t been able to figure out how to carry with him out and about and this video just answered my question 🙌🏻
I appreciate the versatility of it. I don't like owning a bunch of things for one specific situation if I can help it. Nice rec and demo.
Ooh excited about this and speaking of kids. I have to wait for tax return as soon as it comes. I'm enrolling in your course.
Those bags are cool commonly used by motorcycle groups. I saw them selling them at a CCW expo here.
I just ordered this bag and used your discount code. Thank you!
Sharing this to my FB 2A group. Moms need options for carry 👍
Hi Stav My wife and I are really enjoying your video’s!! Thank You 😊
Just bought my bag using your code 🙌🏾🙌🏾Can’t wait to receive it💙
Great practical advice...super job!!
I often find myself asking, "What would Stav/ Mac think/ have to say about that?" 😄 You want to conceal carry and you have a baby.... definitely an option to consider. It's not like this looks bad, and when it all comes down to it, who cares what someone might say. The truth is that you a little more vulnerable now as a mom (or dad) than you were before having a baby. You may even be targeted because of having your children with you. Consider how much longer just getting in and out of your car is with a baby/ young child. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinions.
love the bag...retention, theft-resistant, cool looking, versatile. But, you're only 'equipped' as long as your are carrying the bag. Saw my daughter-in-laws last eve...best off-body option I've seen to date, by far. Thanks for the great vid.
Good review👍🏻 that bag has a lot of options and pockets.
I'm not sure if this would help any other mommas, but I carry my young children in a structured carrier almost any time we're in town. I found your video where you demo-d putting in a holster/trigger guard into a pocket that didn't have one. Many baby carriers have a decent sized pocket, ( I use an ergo 360 the majority of the time) I found that putting in a plastic holster into the pocket worked really well! The trigger is fully protected from both sides and nothing is blocking the draw after you open the zipper, which is super easy and quick to open. Not sure if this helps anyone, but as i have my child in a carrier so often, this has been such a great option for us.
Thank you for providing so much great, thoughtful information for us! Your videos have been very helpful!
Just to get an understanding of what you're saying. You actually put your gun in the baby carrier along with the baby???
I love the carrying a baby
Wonderful info for moms ❤️
Nice bag great design excellent video good job 👍👍
Cool Bag ! Great for Camping or Hiking.
Great Review!
Hello Stav... I just ordered 2 for the Gun Shop..."Sugarbush Armory, LLC in Attica, NY. A new item for us, but I am sure that our female customer base will appreciate the off body carry option for those that really do not ant another lump in their waistline ';-) Thanks for these Video's!
This was so helpful. I am 5 months pregnant began purse carrying about a month ago when my appendix rig became too uncomfortable and my attire had to change. I’ve been agonizing over how I could easily carry after giving birth and this looks like a solid option.
Congrats. I know purse carry sucks, but it's far better than not carrying at all... and I always appreciate when women carry. I appreciate all good people that carry, but especially women. The disparity of force just makes it more important and women are also more likely to have children in their custody... so it seems like common sense to me.
I’d been eyeing this bag for 3 years. Finally found it for a price that was better than I had yet seen, and so I got it for Christmas. I love it! I’d probably make a couple small changes to make it my perfect bag, but it’s the closest to perfect that I have found 🥰
Hey Audrey! What would you change?
@@SheEquipsHerself, I’d like a solid way to hold a water bottle, or a way to strap it on perhaps. I know they had bigger bags, but I don’t necessarily want it bigger. I’d also like an internal spot for change with a zipper.
They make a water bottle attachment and sell it on their website! Waiting for it to come back in stock!
Looks useful. As a primary for hygiene, medical or both. A secondary option for my bugout pack.
Love your channel! Is that the compact or the standard size?
What size of Phoenix bag is that? I too plan to holster in the magnet pocket. Thanks for showing all the pockets! I'm going to buy one.
I found Ukoala and UUB awhile back! I LOVE THEM!
UUB? Pls explain
@@laurabryce6544 Urban Utility Bag. I have the Ukoala Ba, standard size Wrangler in Multi-Stone.
It is tight on your leg when trying to use the magnetic opening. I put my wallet in that opening and carry in the large zipper. Practice Practice Practice your draw until it is muscle memory. I don't have a problem drawing out of the zipper pocket after practicing! Even if you don't carry. A mother trying to be hands free..this bag rocks!
I have the Ukoala Cowboy and use it with a White Hat Holsters hybrid leather/kydex velcro platform. It feels much more secure than the little soft velcro holsters that come with most gun purses. They are also great for use in backpacks, etc that have a pocket with a velcro panel (like 5.11's LV & Covrt lines of backpacks). Great videos and thank you!
White Hat Holsters go out of business?
@@deucedeuce1572 Unfortunately it seems they did. I went to buy another velcro, and the website was completely gone. Crossbreed and Falco make some velcro backed ones, but not for the set up I wanted.
Stav, when you lift the outside flap, the round hole that is on the top right is for you ear buds to go through. Not sure if you knew that!
Whoah. Mind blow.
I am sure you saw our security guard fumble with her holster. Haha. Newbie or what. But you trying to holster the blu plastic shield reminded me. Your the perfect example of a RESPONCIBLE gun owner. How embarrassing, on national TV!😂😂
I gotta say, that is a really good looking bag.
Interesting option. Thanks!
These bags are popular with motorcyclists too. 🏍💪
Yes’m!! ❤️
Not this motorcyclist: The metal on the leg strap is right where I grip the tank so it would scratch the heck out of my paint. That's great big deal-breaker.
Mine works great for my bike.
I bought the UUB Phoenix and I just want to point out to anyone that might want to purchase this purse/bag that the velcro holster does not come with it, it is sold separately.
Thank you for this info.
Great review, I've been looking to get one but can't find anything in-depth on these bags
Good option and great video.
Leave it to ladies to make a drop leg holster a functional fashion statement / item
Also in backpack configuration you could use the quick release strap to quickly swing the bag in front of you like a CCW sling pack to get to the hoster. done this with 5.11 backpack
What size is this Ukoala Phoenix bag? Thanks for this review.
Hi Stav I’m enjoying the Academy! Can you recommend any ear and eye protection for the range? Thank you!
I got this as an early Mother’s Day gift and love it. I can’t use the holster that came with it. My sights get stuck when trying to remove it. What is the brand for the black one you use?
A very practical multi purpose bag..
Question for you Stav..I have the same gun as you do (S&W Shield Plus) and I struggle with the safety off. Do you have any trip and/or Suggestion for me? AND I absolutely LOVE your videos, I have learned a ton and look forward to seeing you new video. Thank you for your help and have a wonderful day. ~ G
Thank you.
Great vid. I got my wife the phoenix for her Glock 19 and I got the hero for my Number Pro TLE Rll
Which size Phoenix bag did you get for the Glock 19? Thanks
I know UUBGear markets these as unisex bags, but as a guy, I'd love if they made just a few changes: 1) Take away most of the pockets an just leave the two inner most pockets, 2) Make it so it hangs lower on your leg or at least make it adjustable so you can hang it lower, and 3) Remove all the strappy things on the zippers and things that flap around as you walk. If they did this, I think it would be more suitable for a guy to use without drawing as much attention. Basically, make a version that is thinner and hangs down lower. (Think: Han Solo style, but in a bag.)
Hey Stav, are those velcro holsters available individually? If so, do you have a link? My wife is looking for one of those to use in her corset holster. Thanks Billy
I carry and sometimes use my purses but they are heavy even before I put anything in them. Is the Ukoala bag heavy? Love your channel.
I like the concept, but want so badly for the magnet pouch to have a zipper, I definitely agree thats where the holster should be!
Enjoyed the video! Which specific Ukoala bag is this? There are several on the website that look similar to this one.
She stated it's the "Phoenix" version of the bag.
God bless you
Needed this my son is 5 months now and I have a C.C.
@She Equips Herself Do you use hand cream in the winter time? I have avoided it because Im concerned that I would not be able to rack or handle may gun efficiently with hand cream on. Thanks!
Thank you so much! What size bag did you have in the video?
I have the standard size :)
Sorry if I just missed you saying it, but I’m assuming you’re using the standard size bag in this video. I’m also petite and trying to figure out if I should get the standard or compact bag. I usually prefer smaller purses.
For a moment there, I thought you'd been keeping some big news from us. ;-)
Do you have a link for that Velcro holster thT you like versus the universal one?
What is the holster you could recommend for the Phoenix bag? Do I have to have a horse or if I put it in the magnetic part?
That bag looks like a leather motorcycle bag. They have them on Amazon between $20 to $45 although you may need to modify them with velcro if you want to mount a holster. Look for Mens Genuine Leather Bike Cycling Waist Hip Bum Fanny Pack Drop Leg Bag
Do you know where I can find a Velcro case for the bag you have ? I have the same one. Didn’t have much luck with Amazon.
Please start posting on Rumble. Leaving YT along with millions of others. Freedom!
What brand Velcro holster do you use instead? Thank you!!
practice makes perfect
Hey girl, love your channel 🤗 next, love this product and how you displayed everything so wonderfully! 👍😉😊 So fitting wise, if u put a plastic bag (I use doggie doodoo black bag) inside the holster then your gun it slides in n out better. I put mine in that or also a crown royal mesh bag/pouch, it keeps everything healthy and give it a try! If it works I'd love to see a video how u like it n tag Johnny G TV (fast cars and firearms) my bf channel 🤗 I had him subscribe to you and also he is impressed with your UA-cam 👍😉😁🤠 thanks again for all the information!
Hey Stav, have you had the bag rotate forward even with the leg strap?
They have three sizes, what size is this one? And do you know if it will fit a Glock 48? Thank you! I’m thinking of getting this bag for my first bag but want to make sure it will work out!
I may have to get one of those bags. I like the idea of having it attach around my waist because having a bag hanging from my shoulder for a long time can be a problem for me. Not sure if the strap around my leg would be annoying though, especially if I need to use a restroom. Do you find the leg strap to be comfortable if you're using the bag for several hours? Also, did you get the optional waist belt extension that they recommend for wearing with the cross-body or backpack configuration? Since you're kind of petite ( and I'm very close to your size) I wasn't sure if you needed it.
Also anyone else reading this who can answer my questions, please do, since Stav may not see this or have time to answer.
Also, where did u find the holster from another bag the plastic works just like that but looks tacky (but works) if u could pm me what bag n where to get one of those. I'm very small so I like lightweight. (90/4'9😬) I would greatly appreciate it!
Wow, talk about a pistol packing Momma. Seriously, I don’t think I’d have the marbles to go out alone with a diaper, bottle, gun bag. In today’s world at certain times of your life it takes a village to safely manage life’s challenges. My wife and I were clueless first time parents. The child had us completely undone when we would leave the house. I can’t fathom negotiating those challenges with a screaming baby and a 9mm. Oh, and Stav, and Mac back me up on this, if you ever have kids, your gonna have to at some time buy a belt! Not one of those mamby/pamby ladies belts either. One of those thick/heavy inch and a half African Safari gun belts that weigh more than you do. Of course if anyone could get the job done and still look rocking it would be you. Your quite a resourceful young woman. Thank you for the video, you make me a better/safer shooter.
The 2nd one is scary but it gets easier. Lol you get used to it is all...& the 2nd baby is always easier?? Hahaha
I am sorry if I missed it, but is this the compact Phoenix or the standard?
how would the fit be in a small vehicle with a center console?
I just order the Phoenix 😊
look cool
Not sure if I missed it but what size is it? The compact or standard?
Can you link your jeans? So cute
Do you have any recommendations on holsters (on body, not bags) for concealed carrying while baby carrying? I carry my 18m old on my back most days. Im thinking something like the under bra ones but i would love recommendations!
What size bag is the one you have? Compact, standard, or expanded? 😊
Hi Stav, What size Ukoala are you wearing?
I have always wanted one of those bags. I’m curious , you know how they say don’t wear a shirt advertising you carry? Do you think these bags do the same?
I think most people would just assume it is a unique fashion statement with no practical purpose, I doubt anyone would assume it was for a gun at first glance. And even so, it is not illegal to carry a gun, so if they don't like it, that's their problem.
Bikers wear them when traveling because they don't have much room in saddle bags. Plus they want something sturdy that is not going to be in their way while trekking on a Harley.
A lot of motorcycle ladies used these back when I was riding, & I think they're popular with equestrians too. They don't scream "tactical" to most people.
What model of Ukoala bag you using in the video?
I’m a guy and I would use that bag😎
Commenting for UA-cam algorithm
We ordered our holsters from Ultimate Holster back in July last year. My husband finally got his a month ago but every time i call i get told they're working on it and it'll ship out within a week, then months go by and it still hasn't shipped. I don't understand why they say a 14-20 week lead time. It's been almost 8 months and I still haven't gotten it yet and that's a lot of money to put in a holster. Super frustrated with them right now
Hi Stav I’m in the academy. I sent a request for the fb group with my sons fb since I don’t have one. Did you receive it?
Any tips for carrying while pregnant? Im 5'2 110lbs pre-pregnancy and 23 weeks now. My belly band just isn't comfortable anymore and I find myself purse carrying, which I hate.
I bet these would work well while babywearing and help reduce the frequency/intensity of tension headaches for breastfeeding mamas!
Are you demonstrating the standard or compact model. My daughter is very petite and the compact might be a better fit. However On the UUB site it says the compact dos not have the Velcro in the magnetic compartment. Can you confirm if this is accurate?
I answered part of my own question. I spoke with UUB and they confirmed the compact DOES NOT have volcó in the magnetic pocket
How does this holster bag do for leftys?
Definitely Food for Thought especially for Ladies that perhaps don't want another lump inside their waistband... I am going to post this on my Facebook page with special attention to the Shop Owners and Principals of "Sugarbush Armory, LLC" in Attica NY as we have a lot of female customers that are new to concealed carry ';-) Thanks for this video! //Mike
I like this bag, I feel like it is less likely to be taken since it is more attached to your body than a typical purse. My worry is when you pull your gun holding your baby. What if the perp returns fire and your baby is in the middle? It would be hard to get shots on target and shield your baby. That's what scares me.
The first bag would be a good bag for a passenger on a motorcycle, with drop leg style
Is this the compact size or the standard size bag?
Has to be the standard size because their website says the compact doesn’t have the Velcro sewn into the back magnetic pocket.
How would you recommend conceal carrying in a skirt while carrying a baby thanks I've got 3 kids under 3 and am new at all of this
