Dear Net:

Thanks for all the replies about holsters for women.  I was amazed by the
number and quality of the replies.

Since I wrote the net, I have talked to a combat handgun instructor (at
Insights here in Issaquah) as well as having much input from you all, including
an editor for Women and Guns.  My decision for now is a simple inside the
belt holster which I wear in front.  My husband has a Sparks Executive
Companion worn behind the hip.

As many in the net pointed out, the best carry for a man and woman vary a
lot!  Basically it is hard for a woman to wear on the hips, but I have an
advantage in being able to conceal a weapon in the waistband under my
breasts.


Here's a brief summary of the responses:

Possible modes of Carry
-----------------------
Shoulder holster horizontal, shoulder holster vertical, thigh, belt inside,
belt outside, midriff, purse, attache, fanny pack, specially designed clothes,
brassiere (?!)

Brands specifically mentioned

Bianchi fanny packs and elastic midriff holsters
