The decades have slipped by, and many of us are still stuck in the black ballistic nylon world. Our laptop bag – black. Our carry-on bag – black. Even our trusty, well-worn suitcase is black. All nylon so as to stay true to our tactical inner being. I was recently shocked out of that mode when a friend showed me a new leather bag. A bag that still served some tactical EDC areas but did so with a look of class. This new bag is the Smith and Wesson Carry-All Duffel.

The Smith & Wesson Carry-All Duffel has become my ultimate travel companion. This duffel has become my regular travel companion. It combines classic leather design with smart, functional features. Crafted for the modern traveler, this duffel offers ample space and thoughtful organization for all your essentials.

It includes zippered pockets and compartments on the outer part of the bag for easy access to smaller items, while a luggage sleeve ensures seamless integration with your suitcase. For added security and convenience, the duffel has concealed carry compartments with zippered side access on both ends, keeping your firearm discreet and easily accessible. Each end also features a compartment for a magazine holder, enhancing your overall preparedness.
Padded Laptop Sleeve
A padded laptop sleeve keeps your device safe and secure, while the open interior provides generous space for clothing, gear, and more. Additional organizational pockets, including a cardholder, ensure everything stays neatly in place. For extra versatility, the Carry-All Duffel includes a detachable strap, allowing you to carry the bag comfortably as a crossbody, perfect for hands-free travel. Whether for business trips, weekend getaways, or daily use, the Carry-All Duffel keeps you organized, secure, and ready for anything.
In many ways, I see leather bags the same way I do high-end 1911s. They are elegant yet functional. These are not grocery getters and allow us to store our belongings while enjoying a beautiful leather bag. The word timeless comes to mind as I look at the bag. It is a throwback to a time when people dressed up to travel, and their leather bags were the obvious choice. They have an air of class about them that our dirty, chewed-up black nylon bags just don’t have.
