Holster suggestions please

[Nhoekstra]

I am a very tiny woman at 4' 10" and 94lbs and am looking for suggestions for holsters for my S&W .38 special. I have small children and want to wear my gun rather than putting in my purse. Would prefer to wear it regardless actually. I am assuming I'll need more than one holster, as my clothing varies greatly. Thanks in advance! Much appreciated.

Try Hidden Hybrid Holsters. Best holster I've ever owned, much more comfortable than Crossbreed. My 110 lb 5'2" wife loves them to. I also applaud you for wanting to be able to protect your kids.

Remora holsters are worth a look see. Go to youtube.com and type "remora holsters". A couple ladies there have some very informative videos. I think you might find them quite helpful. Goodluck.

+1 for the old faithful. Super comfy, and affordable. Completely adjustable and great quality. I just ordered another for my 1911...

I recently got a vedder holster, you can look it up online. It's a belly band, only 4" wide. It's very comfy and can be worn with most any type of waist band, including with skirts. It fits snug, so I feel it's easier to conceal all parts better. It also can hold the weapon in four positions, or be worn in many positions, allowing for many options and different clothing. I agree with not leaving it in your purse for the same reason. Also no problems hanging on to things in the rest room - it stays put! They come in black, but the owner liked the idea of a lighter color, and was planning to look into that. I hope he succeeds. Would love a tan for summer wear and lighter clothing!

Check out The Well Armed Woman website. She has a variety of women specific holsters and videos showing how they work/look. I found it very helpful since some of the holsters that get rave reviews from men just don't work on my body.

Don't have much insight as my girlfriend carries hers in her CCW purse but I have seen bra holsters and thigh holsters for women designed to be worn with skirts out there. If you're looking for just a gold ole fashioned IWB belt holster, Crossbreed, Galco, and Old Faithful are all great.

I just recently picked up a DeSantis "SOF-Tuck" inside the waistband (IWB) holster which really impressed me as it is comfortable, allows me to carry in jeans and T-shirt with the shirt tucked in, and was only about $30. Sof-Tuck? ? DeSantis Holster I'm a fairly slim guy so there's not a lot of extra pouchiness to cover extra lumps, and I'm carrying a .45 cal, so I suspect if you've got a smaller gun it'll be even better.
Another option I've recently seen is essentially an undershirt with pockets where a shoulder rig would ride, padded to make it more comfortable as well as smooth out any lumps.

I'm still trying to find a config myself, but thought those were worth mentioning.

I've recently snagged a De Santis Sof-Tuck IWB which works amazingly well for a comfortable way to carry in jeans and t-shirt (tucked in) even though I'm in fairly good shape with no extra belly to cover strange bulges.

Depending on where/how you want to carry, we've had some very favorable reviews from women for our Flatjack style. Link Removed
