I've posted on this before, but so far we haven't found a good solution to the problem.
I'm looking for some sort of Holster for my Walther PK.380, that will work well with not only my clothing, but my <ahem> disabilities as well. So far we're at a loss.
I can't wear a belt due to prior back and hip surgery, can't wear a shoulder holster because of my upper back, as well as shoulder surgery, and possible future upper back surgery. And I find out the middle of this month if I'll be able to have a 2nd hip surgery, basically to fix the screw-up the first doctor did. (I'd have had a heck of a good lawsuit going, but the 2nd opinion Dr. I saw, lied to me about how long I had to wait for the first one to heal.) A thigh holster is out, I mean really, how obvious would it look for me to be reaching down the inside of my pants leg to grab it. An ankle holster is out, mostly because of my lack of coordination/balance, I'd reach down to get it, and probably keep going and fall over. Yes, I'm a world class klutz!
The 2 we've been able to come up with are: 1) a sort of all purpose "fanny pack", worn in front, that has a velcro opening, that I can pull open to access my weapon that way. Plus it'd have the added advantage of it doubling as a small purse as well. Or 2) we're thinking about getting some sort of "sticky" holster, for inside my sports bra. It's about the only 2 options we've been able to come up with.
I don't want one either inside, or attached to my purse, I absent-mindedly leave it unattended to often while shopping, and I don't want someone inadvertently stealing my purse, and getting my weapon as well. Plus the one I'm currently using is rather large (think small overnite bag) and a present from our daughter, so switching out this soon would hurt her feelings. Plus with what I already carry, (wallet, glasses, diet pepsis, etc. etc. etc.,) it would weigh a ton. And accessing it would be like reaching into a black hole, trying to find something by sense of touch. Not exactly inconspicuous to say the least.
The latter I could actually do tho, I developed that talent when I was carrying a diaper bag and had to get what I needed by reaching into it, in the back seat of the car, using the "touch identification" method. Necessity is the mother of invention.
So, while I like both of the options we've come up with, the fanny pack seems to be the better of the 2, as it would be more useful, as well, as I wouldn't have to worry about getting perspiration on the gun itself.
Any ideas, opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you can think of something we haven't already considered, it'd be a big help on what I'm going to tote it around or conceal it in. Plus, with the sports bra, I don't want it falling out if/when I bend over. That would be a rather awkward situation, requiring some sort of explanation. Don't wanna go there, at least not if I don't have to. And I can't squat, knee surgery prevents that as well. So, as I said, any and all ideas, opinions and suggestions are welcomed.
HELP!
