Cell phone holder is not big enough for a smartphone (Blackberry, iPhone etc)...but it holds a small canister of pepper spray perfectly. Pistol compartment will hold a small to medium frame pistol with ease. Once broken in a glock 23 can be drawn relatively quickly. Side pocket holds a multi-tool or flashlight perfectly...side zipper pocket can hold a case for glasses (My Oakley vault has to go in main compartment).
Get this if you want a man-purse that doesn't attract much attention. I also own the Jumbo but find this to be the perfect size for CCW. If you need to carry more than a pistol/cellphone/mp3player/flashlight etc then I would opt for the Jumbo....especially if you are looking for something that doubles as a camera bag.
Pros: Nice sized storage compartments
Cons: get rid of the waist belt - comes off easily
