As everyone knows women are different from men! So
why would holsters makers think a holster that works well for 90+% of men will
work for 90% of women.
Some challenges include:
-
Shorter torso so need to
worry about how high the holster rides
-
Shorter torso and longer
arms makes it harder to draw further back on the body so cant of the holster
may need to be different
-
Curves makes it harder for a
holster to sit comfortably when the curve pushes the top of the holster into
their side
-
Because smaller shoulder
distance makes cross draw easier for women because they can reach further
across their body
-
Most women dont wear a
normal gun belt because of the close they wear or style they are trying to
obtain
-
Many women wear either no
belt or a very marginal belt so OWB holsters riding on the belt are not an
option
-
Standard men's colors don't
excite women and would love to have something different
-
Purse carry a women can be
separated from the purse so you loose access to the gun
What normally works well for
women?
-
IWB Appendix carry between belly
buttom and front of a women's hip has a natural dip to help hide a
handgun
-
Cross draw works for many women
that it is not easy to reach behind their hip
-
Lower riding holster generally work
better
-
A vertically flat area around the
hips on a women is a very good place to carry a handgun
-
A flat backed holster like a The Snap or
Cross Guard for OWB that does not pull as tight against women's side
work better
-
Side Guard protection will help
limit the uncomfortable nature of carrying a handgun
-
An IWB Side Guard metal security
clip will hold on to pants or marginal belts making it easier to carry
and draw a handgun - example a Double Clip or Minimal
Clip
-
Purse carry can be a valid solution
however we always recommend a holster to cover the trigger of the gun like a
pocket holster Rough Out or Minimal Clip that you can clip on the inside
of your purse
