YOUNG women's holsters

shorts, i agree lets see what you've got!

pax, thanks you a bunch for putting your website together, its been very helpful. I'm working on a couple options for her depending on outfits, she also has an hour glass shape and in the great pnw. eastern wa to be exact.
the tough thing about eastern wa is in the summer its 110 and this winter its been 10 degrees, so you kinda need a myriad of carry options.

so far appendix carry is looking good, a belly band in the shoulder holster area, and i'm working on making my own belly band for horizontal carry, and maybe just maybe if i can find a decent price on a shoulder holster might give that a try when an outfit permits.
 
Shorts,
Would you mind giving some more info on your carry method?
My wife is also a 5'3" 115lb Texan.
Her problen is her uh, petiteness doesn't cover well. Shoulder carry is out.
I'm guessing you're carrying about 2 o clock ?
Pax,
Thanks for the link, we are revisiting SOB carry. We thought my wifes hips/rear ruled that out, apparently not.
Goes to show you just have to try everything.
Most important, stop thinking like a guy !
 
I can't carry in my home state of WI (no ccw here :mad:), but I can carry in MN due to an out of state permit. The following is just what I find works for me (I'm a jeans a t-shirt type with an occasional skirt/nice shirt):

With women's clothing the idea is to think of it as having more options than limiting. After all, we can conceal a thigh holster under a flowing skirt/dress and have built-in devices that make shoulder holsters less noticeable (our chests). When I wear a dress/skirt (assuming it isn't too tight) I find a thigh holster works quite nicely. For jeans/t-shirt days I do an IWB holster.
I think the best thing to properly concealing your weapon is to make sure that you have a quality holster that fits your gun well. There's no need to lug around unneeded holster weight that just bulks things up.

I've never tried Thunderwear or anything similar, so I can't say one way or the other on that subject. I've also never used pocket holsters or an ankle holster. However, ankle holsters seem like they would seriously inhibit me actually getting to my gun quickly and without making what I am doing totally obvious.

The one way I won't ever carry is in a purse or bag. I tend to lose my bag on a regular basis, and it's so easy to have your purse/briefcase snatched. I just can't rationalize giving a pickpocket/grab-and-run thief my gun. If I'm carrying, it's on my body, not in my bag.

I have seen fanny pack holsters, but I am opposed to fanny packs on the basis of it being a fashion sin (it conjures images of my grandma up).

All in all, it depends on what she's comfy with. I would recommend having her try them on with the different styles of clothing that she wears most often. A few slight changes to her wardrobe might be necessary, but nothing major.
 
I just picked this up form a local gun show. New style of bra holster I love it. You can get it from www.guns4gals.com I've included some photos because I don't think that those on the site do this thing justice.
