Much like the Patented Hot Tamale V1, which has snaps to secure the belt loop, the Hot Tamale M1 uses strong Rare Earth Magnets instead. Designed primarily as a “Coin Purse” to be carried on the belt or beltless attire where it is readily available in time of need. The MGL “Hot Tamale” is for spare change but can also be to use for personal defense if necessary. As it a “Coin Purse”, it may be carried where other lethal weapons are not permitted by laws.  The flap of the “Coin Purse’ folds over to protect the zippered opening and doubles as the belt loop to be worn on a person’s belt or beltless attire for effortless extraction.  Handmade in the USA.
