Stallster

What does Stallster do? What problem does it solve?

+

Stallster is highly compressible and compact satchel/bag that you wear to safely and easily store your holstered firearm while you use a bathroom stall. Stallster eliminates the risk of you forgetting your gun in the bathroom and makes navigating the bathroom with a concealed firearm convenient and easy.

Stallster easily becomes a regular part of your conceal carry setup by conveniently being stored in its stuff sack that you wear on your belt next to your firearm, or in your pocket or purse.

What firearms and holsters does Stallster fit?

+

Stallster Genisis is designed to fit as many firearm/holster combos as possible. See the page What Fits in Stallster? under "Learn" to see video examples of different holstered firearms fitting in Stallster. There are some exlusions. Certain holster "rigs" AKA sidecar holsters that include a magazine attachment may not fit in Stallster Genisis. However, we have tested 3 different sidecar holsters and all have fit inside Stallster! Again check the page What Fits in Stallster? to see for yourself.

Some holsters that are designed for 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock also may not fit in Stallster if they are very wide. We designed Stallster Genesis to fit as many firearm-only holsters as possible, from a Ruger LCP, to a Sig P365, to a full size Glock 17. Stallster Gensis is even able to hold my Glock 40 - a handgun with a 6.02 inch barrel often called "Glockzilla". This design verastility was achieved all while maintaining a high level of compressibility and easy store. Further, we specifically designed Stallster Genesis so that every holstered firearm you store in it points down to the ground so you aren't flagging any of your stall mates...

Why can't I just put my gun down on [XYZ] surface while I go to the bathroom stall?

+

You certainly can, but at what risk? Have you tried Googling "gun left in bathroom" before? Have you ever left keys behind, a wallet behind, a phone behind only to go back and retrive it? Now what if what is left behind is a loaded gun in a public bathroom? Sure you might have gone 2 years of regularly concealed carrying without ever making this grave mistake but how can you ensure you're never at risk of leaving a loaded gun behind for someone else to find? Answer - Stallster. Why? Because the gun never leaves your person and always stays attached to you by using Stallster all while making the whole process easy and seamless.

Do I really need Stallster?

+

I think that answer is arguably no. As the inventor, designer, entrepeneur, owner, blah blah blah, of this whole shtick I can say that honestly. Why? Well I've regularly concealed carried a firearm and operated without this invention for a long time. I did often think that going to a bathroom stall while carrying was a pain in the a$$ but I didn't think too much of it - but then it happened... I had a scare of leaving my gun in a public bathroom, and well, that scared me straight. I felt completely embarrassed, idiotic, irresponsible, and completely in terror.

"This could ruin my life."


I remember thinking that exact thought at the time. It was a risk I never considered which is odd considering I had a number of friends who carry and I consulted with before I purchased my first handgun and began conceal carrying. Also, I live in the Iron Curtain state of Illinois and I had to get a conceal carry license (on top of a Firearm's Owner ID) and take a 2 day class (by law) on concealed carry, and through all that, I never heard of the risk of leaving your gun behind in the bathroom or even that navigating the bathroom stall can be a pain. Nope. It wasn't until that scare that I started searching online "How to go to the bathroom while concealed carrying" did I come across some answers. Some condescending and discouraging comments, some funny, but also, straight up BAD advice.

Here's some from Reddit /r/concealedcarry and /r/CCW

"Yea i dont understand why this question gets asked alot on here..."
"this question is getting embarrassing at this point"
"I still can’t believe this is an issue worth asking about..."

But many there are way more funny comments than condescending...

•"Just poop your pants."

•"I wear a portable urinal as part of my edc."

•"Just pee your pants. Make sure you use bullets that pass the puss corrosion test someone on here did."

•"Power move and fire a stall shot. Nobody will be around to notice your firearm after that."

•"I just wear adult diapers 24/7/365, I use my sidecar for crayons (yes, to eat)"

•"I usually bang on the stall wall with the butt and ask the guy next door if he minds hanging on to it for me while I get situated."


But there is also very, very BAD advice. Don't follow this!!!. You may eventually end up in the news and at worst, in jail.

•"Put it in the hand rail and put your jacket or hat over it"

•"Use the TP holder as a counter."

•"I put it on top of the toilet paper dispenser. Almost every public restroom I've been in has a metal bar over the toilet paper area, so I just put the holster in the metal bar."

•"Baby changing stations make for an excellent gun shelf

"As long as you don’t forget your gun in the bathroom you are doing it right…" (--Author's comment - NO! Just because you haven't left it, yet, doesn't mean you're doing it right!)
"Stall always, holster goes in between bar on the wall on top of the toilet paper dispenser."

This "advice" and all the confusion is why I invented Stallster. Stallster simplifies the entire process of going to the bathroom stall, creates a standard operating procedure (SOP), and eliminates the risk of forgetting your firearm. By using Stallster, your holstered firearm always stays attached to your person.

How can I clean Stallster?

+

TL;DR - only use COLD water and soap to wash carrying bag or stuff sack. DO NOT get the pinch brace wet! It will rust. Air dry only.

If you wish to wash the Stuff Sack (what Stallster is stored in) please only spot clean with COLD water and soap and be sure not to get the "pinch brace" wet - that is the part that you squeeze to open the stuff sack. If you do it will rust. If you're feeling techy, you can dissasemble the pinch brace and remove it from the stuff sack to more easily wash the stuff sack. Use COLD water only and soap to wash the actual carrying case - where you store your hosltered firearm when using Stallster. The fabrics that Stallster are cosntructed of have various coatings to add strength and water repellent properties. Too much heat from hot water or a dryer will melt these coatings and ruin your Stallster. DO NOT put Stallster in a washing machine. DO NOT put Stallster in the dryer. Do NOT steam or iron Stallster. Air dry ONLY.

Logistics

How fast can I expect to receive Stallster? How fast does my order ship?

We are currently manufacturing Stallster by hand, out of our home. We have ongoing conversations with multiple USA manufacturers but the process to work with a manfacture is slow, we've come to find out. There are many details to organize and negotiate. I'd rather do it right instead of rushing it clumsily and potentially sacrifice product quality. Thank you for your patience while we work to speed up the manufacturing and shipping processes. We're just getting started so lots to learn!
