Re: Carrying Issues with Women

I just wanted to write a quick reply to everyone that wrote and responded to this post. I wasn't expecting much in the way of responses, so it was VERY nice to see so many reaching out!!! Yall are awesome! thank you for all the opinions and advice, it is greatly appreciated!

I carried for the first time yesterday with the Uncle Mikes Reflex at the 3 oclock. I was able to find a sweatshirt that kept printing to a minimum. It was such a unique experience (and it was a first date, so it was a pretty good day). Went to a couple different stores...really wanted just to get used to the feeling of it. Didn't find myself needing to adjust the gun (just had to pull up my pants a couple times). Only small negative things was running into a couple things, since I'm not used to having a small appendage jetting from my right hip. And getting used to the feeling of it pushing agains tme a bit when I get into my car.

I am going to look around the forum a bit to see if I can find an answer to the following, but if yall have any opinions on it, that would be great...
I was thinking about getting that [Pre-paid legal service] (11 bucks a month for a lawyer - very simply put). Any advice or opinions? Yay or Nay?


Anywho, thanks again for all the replies. Yall are great.

Re: Carrying Issues with Women

My LTC instructor had one of these and he said he loved it! I am going to look around the website and see what the dimensions would be so I could carry my current weapon.

If anyone else has used this holster, your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Carrying Issues with Women

Hi Yall,

I am a new member of this awesome community. I am a medically retired Army veteran, so I'm no stranger to weapons. But, it was a daily carry of an M4, not a pistol. I have an ISSC M22 pistol (.22 caliber), but will be looking to upgrade to a classic Glock 19 at some point in the future.

The "issue" that I am trying to solve is dealing with dressing around the pistol. For females (and me, personally), I don't have as much room in my pants to wear IWB in any of the carries, other than possibly in the small of my back. I have a holster to carry on my hip, as that's where it is most comfortable for me. But, I am running into the issue of printing. I am slowly finding out that almost anything "light" produces an pretty bulky outline. haven't gone through the entire closet quite yet, but I was wondering if yall had any ideas to try? When I have time and possibly another person with me, I might go again and try to pick out a different holster and see if that makes a difference (I am partial to "plastic" holsters - bought an Uncle Mikes Reflex and I love it - I hate having a button to push or a strap to remove).

Thanks in advance!!!
