I use a conceal carry purse most of the time, which isn't the best of ideas IF left unattended.. however, how I am with my purse it's either always in sight next to me, or my hand is physically on my gun (out of sight, no one notices) on the back of the purse where the gun pocket is when I'm walking. It just looks like any other woman carrying a purse. If they grab my purse, my gun is coming out in my hand and they're gunna be sorry.

www.facebook.com/countrycouture1 has some cute ones if you look for the ones that say "conceal carry"

I don't like the waste holster I found out, I'm still looking for a belly one. In a dress I think the bra holster would be rather difficult to get to, a bra alone is difficult let alone to the bottom of one. Just my  :twocents: on what works/doesn't work for me.

what do you carry? if you don't mind me asking.  the cool thing about my wife's lcp is its so small it can almost by put anywhere without being visible or creating a visible bulge in her clothes

Sig P938 - slightly longer, but not much bigger. It's the ease of access to me.. If she wears more dresses than anything it just seems on-body holsters might be harder unless a secure thigh holster  :dunno:

Purse carry winds up being the most practical if its warm weather. IMHO belt carry is best for everyone for quickness of draw and reholstering. However, belt carry becomes conspicuous with any lady with a voluptuous waist (ie hour glass figure--not necessarily fat$.

I get a kick out of guys telling women not to carry their heater in a purse, like we have any experience with carrying a purse! 

I think carrying in a purse is a great idea.  It also gives ladies quite an advantage if used correctly. 

If you are aware, you can get a head start as soon as you feel uncomfortable, just as Smossy's Girl said.  You can draw the pistol and shoot at 3 yards in well under a second with minimal training.  My wife and I tried it out, on the timer at the range.  She was pulling .8's in no time from the purse!  The key is getting a head start, if something doesn't look or feel right. 

So, if you are at the grocery store and walking out into the dark parking lot and get that "feeling" or see something you don't like, a gal can just get a grip on her pistol without anyone knowing anything at all.  I think it's an advantage that the ladies have and they should use it.

Belt type holsters aren't really made for petite women in the first place and are usually uncomfortable and lend to the CCW being left at home.  I would rather them carry in a purse then not at all.   

What do you carry--a "European Shoulder Bag"?   :chuckle:  :chuckle:

ok for under shirts and blouses flashbang bra holster

http://flashbangholsters.publishpath.com/

and the cute gal from sons of guns has helped design a leg holster that looks sweet and it also looks like it would stay put

https://www.facebook.com/StephanieHaydenSonsOfGuns

I know you are on fb have her go look at this link.......there are others out there.

I dont own small frame pistols so just wear a regular shoulder holster....it is not ideal as my boobs are still in the way but it is moderately comfortable when hiking and stuff since I dont wear belts so belt holsters and waist band holsters are out....

Run, if you could show us how that bra holster really looks, I sure would appreciate it. :) It's purely for research, trust me!

My girlfriend love to wear those strap belt with two extra pockets for debit card, Lic, CPL Lic, and small wallet w money to put inside pocket.... people might grab/steal purse but Gun, Lic, money is already on her. Put it around Waist stomach then put shirt, jacket, vest, anything cute outfit to cover it, and Gun stay above pant or short pant or above belt and easy to walk with out purse, drive with no problem, running, go to football, soccer, baseball game, Stores, anywhere you go and never leave gun away from you. Also kids can reach in purse with out being worried.  No one can't tell if she has gun or not..    ;)

any .38 or .380 or smaller guns will fit it too.  It's sweet!

Not really, if you have two extra so after you had long run and it easy to change it to let it dry and use other same kind and go on...  Nice to have two strap belt for any reason.
