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 ----------------------------- PistolERA clothes Bianchi fanny packs and elastic midriff holsters Publications and Resources -------------------------- Women and Guns (magazine) Armed and Female (book) Combat instructors
