Flash Bang -Personal review
I was wondering if anyone out there has tried the flash bang holster that attaches to your bra Flashbang Holster - Bang Bang Boutique, LLC It looks interesting and could be worn when you are not wearing pants. Just not sure how safe it would be with it so close to the girls.
============================================================================================================================================================================================
The company had said it was backed up with orders but the holster arrived pretty quick. It was sent through regular mail so it did take a little longer then normal from the time it was dropped off at the post office but it did get here. There was the holster itself and 3 different sized straps that can be used for various bra sizes.
Ok so I got my flash bang in the mail and immediately ran into the house to try it on. A few observations that I have in the short time that I have used it. First is that it is an amazingly comfortable holster, I would not say that I don't know the weapon is there but It has to be one of the most comfortable that I have used yet. It looked a little cheap when I first opened it and I worried about that but it seems to be holding up perfectly. A few dry runs with drawing show me that it is beyond easy to draw and I am noticing no marking on my weapon as someone else mentioned there may be. The draw was lightning fast even my first few times using it.
As mentioned lower in the comments 'type of bra does matter' I tried it in a sports bra and it held in place for a while but slipped out super easy. Unless you want to look like you have a very oddly shaped middle breast, likely not a good idea.
I tried a wireless bra with a very firm band around the bra. The holster held better in this but not perfectly. I did notice a bit of slippage. There is a rough section on the holster that is suppose to prevent that but it does not work 100% of the time.
I tried a under wire bra and the holster held in place almost perfectly. I may have had to adjust it a little bit but nothing worth mentioning.
I am blessed in the endowment area and So i found I had to tuck the weapon and holster up under the breast area to get it properly hidden. At least in my case, I can say that there was no indication at all that i was wearing the holster other then the time i wore the sports bra and seemed to grow a third breast.
The snap is very secure and there is no worry of it coming undone if it is done up correctly. I had watched a number of videos on the holster before i bought it so since I knew the trick to unsnapping it, that was really a non issue for me.
One annoying thing that I do find with this holster and I am not sure how to easily fix this, is that if I change to a different type of bra I have to unscrew the strap and replace it with one that is the appropriate size for the new bra. I don't about other ladies but I have an eclectic selection of bra's and they are not all the same size mid sections where the strap attaches.
I am not a touchy feely person but I did wonder about the awkwardness of hugging someone and them asking if that's a gun in my bra or if I am happy to see them.
One of the ladies in the comments mentioned using a strapless bra that has the grip in the band, I actually wondered about adding some of the double sided tape they sell for women's cloths. Not sure how that would work but I may get some and try it.
I did not feel unsafe carrying the gun in that location as I felt I might be. Though I still wonder/feel leery about the 'keeping the weapon pointed in a safe location' when I know that my husband walks on that side of me.
So far I can say this is a holster I will continue to use and I hope my experience may help someone else thinking of trying this holster.
