New to me holster!

[ilovemyjeep]

Just got back from the gun show at Nappanee. Went to ogle and came home with a holster. Yippee.. funny part is I had to bring in my gun in order to find a good fit and I barely had my feet in the door and had 3 offers to buy it. All in all a fun day!

I carry a small purse and it wouldn't fit in there, so had to stick it in my waistband....does this qualify as "carry"...lol

Hooray for tac gear!! I gotta find a good iwb but i am pretty small and most don't conceal very well. i sometimes use a messenger bag with an outside pocket but its not my 1st choice. Congrats on the gear!

Thank you! There is a class coming up and one of the requirements is an outside the waistband holster, so I m all set. Except now I need to get a belt!

If you're looking for a good iwb women's holster holstersplus.com is making a female holster now that is highly recommended. If you contact them ask for the "Vicki Farnam" model.

I got a really nice belt at galls.com. This is the one I got: Aker Leather Dress Belt - LP224

They have lots of other options, but the boyfriend has this one as well. I knew it was good because I used to use it & take his 1911 with me when I went grocery shopping. (he's not allowed to come with)

Do a quick google search on the Flash Bang holster, its great for a small gun.

Just did the search. Those are really nifty! I keep thinking it would be fun/educational for us girls to get together and look at how the different holsters are used.

Never been to the gun show in Nappanee and wanted to go this year but I got busy. Was it a good show?

Also, I am new to the gun world and actually found some really good youtube videos on the different types of holsters women can wear. I learned alot from watching them. Could always check some out when you have some free time.

 

[ilovemyjeep]

Yes it was a good time. I always see something that I have never seen before....being a newbie to the gun world too. And yes there are some neat videos on youtube. Funny thing happened last evening at a meeting. Another woman and I got to chatting and low and behold, she pulled up her shirt a bit and there was her holster peeking out. Ya know, I read the posts, but don't actually know any women personally who carry. She said she doesn't either. What a hoot!

Cool. I will definitely have to go next time. Oh wow, that is pretty cool. I don't know any women that carry either, but then again most of my gfs are from IL. I can't wait to move to IN and then I might carry... I'm not really sure yet. The only problem that can think of is that I usually wear tighter fitting clothes during the warmer months. Maybe I will have to change my style and start wearing skirts and dresses!

Easy fix, open carry! Or have a dedicated spot in your purse that is gun ONLY.

I can't find a holster that I am totally comfortable with either. I usually carry a G26. I guess the only option is OC. A friend told me I need to get a diffent gun possibly a 380.

I might open carry eventually but being from IL I still get scared if someone OC's. I guess I will just CC during the colder months and let my boyfriend CC when it gets warmer out.

No no no no you must get a little gun and hide it on your thigh!!! And you could wear skirts!!!

I could do that but the problem is that I'm really skinny and it would probably show. :/ I might just have to get some more skirts! I know the boyfriend won't complain.

I work in Chicago, I wish I COULD carry!

Oh wow, right now I live about 20 minutes from Chicago. I try to avoid being in the city because some people are scary! I definitely wish IL would become a gun friendly state like IN. That is one of the reasons I am moving to IN soon!
