holster options... advice/help needed!
1/9/2011 5:07:21 PM
Hey ladies (and gents!),
I will be receiving my license to carry in the mail pretty soon, and have been looking into different carry options. I have narrowed it down to what suits me/my body best. I do not wish to carry in a purse, or on my waist/belt line. I was more looking into belly bands and things such as these:
Option 1
Option 2
My only concerns with option 1 are the added annoyance of straps as well as stability of the gun (if I were jogging).
Concerns with option 2 are concealability if around my hips. I often wear low-rise, tight jeans, and shirts that sometimes show a lil' belly/back if i bend over. For option 2, do you think it'd be possible/wise for me to wear the band higher up, just below my bra? Or waist? Hmm...
To help:
(^I'm the one in white + jeans)
Any advice/suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

I voted #1, but even with that you'll have to wear something loose enough to cover it. I think both options would print if you wore the same clothes as in those pics.

Oh my god.. lmao.. sorry, I don't have much to contribute but I didn't know you were in the flute studio(?). I know that girl all the way to the right (Nicole). Haha, small world.

I carry like this sometimes. I think this is what you mention with option 2. It only works on me if I wear the right bra and a shirt loose enough.

That's exactly what I had in mind!! Good to see that someone else was thinking along my lines.
Do you think that'd be better than the first bra holster? I just don't love the idea of having the extra straps and whatnot.

Donne3 carries that way also, but she has the small of the back belly band and wears the gun sideways.
I think it'd be better cause you have the ability to choose where you put it, and it would be a ton easier to slide the band down for quicker deployment.
