Hello! I am very new to this. I was wondering if any of you have wives or girlfriends who carry? If they do, do they carry on person, or in a purse? If they carry on person, do you have any advice? I am a tiny girl and I think it will be hard to cover up an mp. Thanks!

I still say belly band.



I'll move this to the CCW area for you.



CCW=Concealed Carry Weapon

I wish my girlfriend would carry. With the female fashion styles, it would be hard for a woman to carry imo. I also do not think that the market is very big for females who carry, so female holster designs are often neglected. Most women I do know who carry do so in a purse. If you can carry really depends on the way you dress, male or female.



May I refer you to two recent sigforum discussions which may help you:

Hope this helps.

Kathy Jackson has an excellent "armed women" web site called Cornered Cat that I would highly recommend. There is a section of links there called Practical Issues where she talks about things like carrying in a purse.

MY exwife carried sometimes. She had one of those special purses with the holster built in - kinda like a secret compartment.

My wife has carried a Sigma 9VE for over three years. It is about the same size as the M&P. She carries it in a concealed carry purse. I plan to buy her a M&P9 Compact when they finally hit the market.

I'm glad you are thinking about carrying. This day and time women should always be very careful and aware. There are too many creeps out there. Be very careful with the gun.

One of the girls that does some work for me periodically carries religiously. Because of the height of the belt line for women vs. men most holsters dig into her ribs or her boobs depending on where she positions the holster. She says she found that cross draw is the most comfortable carry for her, or one of the offset holsters like the ones from blade tech.

My wife is going to get her ccw and carry her m&p9c. She never talked about carrying a gun untill our house got broken in to.

She is not a gun nut like I am, but she said she would shoot a little bit every month.

My wife carrys most of the time in a fanny pack or a CCW purse. A lot of people say that a fanny pack screams GUN, but she has never been made. I guess that they don't expect a petite female type to be carrying.
