Newbie - Women’s Concealed Carry

[EveryDayCarrie]

Looking forward to being a part of the community! I thought this would be a good place to connect with others who enjoy target practice and promoting conservation through hunting.

I have a Ruger LCP II that I’m currently in the midst of finding the right carrying method and holster for. Unfortunately women’s clothing isn’t the most conducive to concealed carrying. Any ladies here that have recommendations? I’m thinking appendix or small of back. The Phlster Enigma setup looks like a good option, but open to suggestions!

Welcome. Always happy to see more women join the community.

Hello EDC (I see what you did there) and welcome to INGO. While most of the regulars around here are "middle-aged" dudes (I resemble that remark) we do have women in the INGO ranks including staff member/Moderator @mom45 .

Again welcome to INGO, good bunch of folks around here with a lot of knowledge.

Please don't carry small of back. Imagine what would happen if you fell and you had a gun between your spine and the ground.

Ha! I just celebrated my quarter-life crisis, so I guess I’m the minority here!

THIS. Its dangerous. It can result in damage to the spinal nerve.

I used to do this years ago until that was brought to my attention. Since I really like walking, I stopped immediately.

Welcome!

Welcome to the site! The best posts are done around 930 pm. Many on this site treat others like family.

Welcome to the forum! I know many frown upon off body carry, but I have a designated CC purse I use on a regular basis. I also have a BUG that is normally either appendix or pocket carry depending on what I am wearing. Purse carry is only for when on body is just not a viable option.

Appendix carry is the safest, most concealed imo. It can be uncomfortable at times tho. Im not a lady, so im no help there. And welcome to the forum

Welcome from Westfield.

Guy the gun was discussing various carry methods earlier this evening. I am sure folks will have lots of suggestions for you, just remember: YMMV and what works for some may not work for others.

Welcome to INGO.

You'd be better off to start a thread about your holster/carry options in the sub-forum below. This thread will close 24 hours. That way you can keep the thread going as long as needed.

I recommend this youtube channel to women. I have watched her in an attempt to be somewhat informed for when women ask me for advice on carrying firearms.
