Best way to Carry your Pistol?

[newbie76]

I have a ruger lcr that I need to carry around with me at all times during some recent events that have occured.  I am not sure what kind of holster I should get. I have been looking at different ones but it is hard to know how they will work in terms of needing to get my gun quickly in order to protect myself if needed.  Any suggestions?!?!?

THANKS!

My wife keeps hers in her purse- but it's probably not the fastest way to get a gun out and pointed in the right direction.  You might consider one of the plastic side holsters that goes on your belt...it will be easy enough to conceal this time of year but a little more difficult in the summer.  Good luck.

FYI....this is a serious reply....not jacking your thread.

A little while ago there was a post...maybe in the random thread section.....that showed a female carry option that was basically a bra holster. I'm not kidding. It was apparently an addition or somthing that you could clip in. You would simply reach under your shirt, draw, and either fire from the hip or aim and fire. They showed a gal in action and with a little practice she got pretty smooth and was getting shots off quick.

Something to consider.

when my wife picked up her .380 the salesman was pushing a holster like this one too.  We didn't buy it, but thought it was decent.

It's called the Flashbang holster. I have one for my LCP w/ Crimson. I like mine Have a few minor issues but I was able to correct it. PM me if you have any questions

will def be paying attention to this thread, my wife carries in her purse and a hate it! 
the way she dresses makes it very hard for her to conceal anywhere. i think she needs a holster then buy a new gun to fit it...

It's tough for women to find a comfortable place to carry concealed because of hips. My wife hates to carry on her side because the grip is always poking her in the side. May I suggest an SOB (Small of Back) holster, or possibly a front cross draw. Most women like snug fitting clothing to show their curves but that can be a problem while carrying a weapon, consider a location and dress style that will compliment the curves yet is favorable to covering up your weapon and still having complete control over it in case you end up in a hands on struggle. I prefer a security style holster that has at least one locking or securing means that will prevent the weapon from becoming dislodged during normal movement. They can be a little slower to deploy the firearm but they will prevent an accidental loss of the weapon if you were to take a fall or stumble. It is your responsibility to keep the firearm safe and concealed at all costs. Quality should never be minimized when carrying, your life may depend on it.

My wife carries her pistol on her hip around camp and in the woods, but it is in her purse when in an urban setting.

Look at the crossbreed supertuck videos on youtube. Lots of options for women there.

Not trying to jack your thread, I am in the process of trying to find the right gun for my little wife, what are your wifes shooting, I am thinking 380, with lazer?

[newbie76]

my ruper lcr is perfect. Small and hammerless so when it is in my purse it cannot get caught in one of the many things I have in it.

Thieves grab purses unexpectedly-  It doesn't help you when somebody else has your gun.

 FlashBang Holster. Its a clam shell (hard plastic) that you put your gun in. It has a strap that you snap over the front of your bra. So it fit snugly under your breasts. Works best if you wear an under wire style bra. Only issue that i have really had was the plastic made me hot a bit up next to my skin so i put some mole hair on it and it solved the issue. As of yet i have not had to use it in an emergency. But have practiced and all you do is use your non dominate hand to lift your shirt up some,and pull your gun down out of the holster. So if your shirt was tucked in you would have to pull it up any how. I can wear pretty snug t shirts and it hardly imprints. I haven't timed it but i am able to pull it faster than with any of my other holsters. I haven't seen it in any stores yet. I bought mine online about a year ago and carry daily with it. I like the fact that no one knows And it won't show if you bend over or if your shirt rides up and i can carry with a tank top on. Look online for looper law enforcement or do a search for flashing holster, the same company also has several different holsters geared towards women. They have videos i think on YouTube to get a better idea. I have it for a Ruger LCP with Crimson Trace that I use for concealed carry only. IMO this has been the best style of concealed carry holster for me.

Loaded. I dont own one of those little pistols anymore becuase they are so difficult to find a good holster for them.
