DeSantis makes a holster that, when fitted with a pocket-pistol like a Ruger LCP or SIG P238, looks just like a wallet. It’s called the Pocket Shot. I fired another maker’s model a couple years back, before DeSantis got the idea, with a Kel-Tec P-3AT in it, and I found it actually quite enjoyable to shoot. Though you can only get two fingers on it, the larger grip allowed the ring finger alone to easily tame the little .380. I’ve vaguely considered getting one someday and duracoating the gun the same color brown as the leather of the holster, to further the ruse.

I’ve carried a second wallet since I was 15 because the school I went to. Never thought I’d ever need it till 3 am. Day after last Easter. Some punkass kid with a ski mask ringerless gloves completely I. Black decided he was goin to rob the gas station I happened to be in. All he had was a pump action twelve gauge and I couldn’t stop smiling about it. I’ve never been robbed before and he o e to
E I do it’s by some punk looking like he was out of a cheap ass movie he asked for my wallet and if I had a cell phone. Gave him the wallet and told him I didn’t have a phone he said grab what you wan. And run instead I walked out to the side and called the cops. My second wallet had two fake cards and a note that said up yours on half of a dollar.

I had 2 giveaway wallets went I went on holiday to New York City last year. Thankfully I never had to use them, but it was always reassuring to know I had them. I was not going to allow a mugging wreck my trip from Australia to the USA. I definitely recomend this trick to my friends who plan to travel anywhere.

Why not hide a pocket pistol inside the fake wallet with the trigger hole cut out so that the gun could be fired inside the wallet? So when you are handing the wallet to the punk, you aim and shoot him in the face.

Agreed Pat, Thankfully I’ve never had to use mine, but I’ve rehearsed how I’d act as well. Create a diversion with nervousness and fear and go to guns if the situation dictates it :)

Grip the fake wallet in the throwing hand.
Decoy Wallet Instuctions:
Grasp the pull ring with the index or middle finger of the nonthrowing hand. Remove the safety pin with a pulling and twisting motion.
Throw the grenade (I mean wallet) using the overhand method so that the grenade (I mean wallet) arcs, landing on or near the target. Seek Cover…

This is a great idea. Personally this will be good so that i can give up the fake wallet, I think it’s important to practice acting extremely nervous and scared to the assailant; right before i put two .45 hydrashoks in someones chest of course :)

I’ve been carrying one of these for a while now with a couple of old ATM cards that are from closed accounts and luckily I haven’t had to use it yet, but it’s there.
