Re: Conceal methods for women

Google MTECH USA MT-673 Fixed Stainless Steel Blade. A neck knife for about 8 bucks - can't beat it.

Re: Conceal methods for women

A little bit sideways on the thread topic, but after multiple vicious dog attacks in my neighborhood, I discovered the delight of having a shark knife (made for SCUBA divers) strapped to my leg. It's inexpensive, the straps are rubber so they don't slip and slide, and it doesn't weigh much, so I barely know that it is there.

With an attack as brutal as what is shown in the vid above, I don't know that most women would be able to do much in self-defense, but I'd be trying to go for that knife. The robber would be focused single-mindedly and two-handedly on the purse, and might not see a blade coming up, if I could get to it. It would be worth a try.

I got the shark knife after failing to identify a good neck knife holder. If anyone knows of such a thing, please post.

Re: Conceal methods for women

For better or for worse, I'm personally not interested in "cute". I realize that everyone is entitled to their own taste, but I think the market has long been passing over women with lifestyles that defy older stereotypes. I went to a local range yesterday afternoon, and as I was sitting there waiting my turn for a lane, I glanced over and noticed a rack of handbags in the sales area of the facility. Lots of sequins, studs, rhinestones, buckles, etc. Well, that's fine for some - but what about the other half of the female market?

Re: Conceal methods for women

I'm not sure which is the best thread for this entry, but hello to the other ladies, and here below is a pic of one of my hard-won carry solutions.

I do A LOT of exercise, and so I gravitated toward belt or fanny pack style of solutions - something I could wear, more so than carry like a handbag. My non-negotiable requirement was that any concealed carry device MUST also accommodate my iPhone 6 Plus without being overly bulky. That eliminates, oh, about 95% of what's on the market.

This is the Blackhawk fanny pack in size medium. It gets some bad rap in product reviews because many people find that even the medium size is really too large to fit them. But hey, if you've got some female hips going for you, it actually conforms to the body quite well. I am wearing it high in this gruesome mirror selfie, and I would position like this if, for instance, I were jogging. Hiking or biking, I'd set it lower on my hips. The phone is shown poking above the zipper to show how tightly it fits - it slides into this outer pocket very well, but if the pack were any smaller, it would be bye-bye iPhone - it would not fit.

In a perfect world, I might have preferred the similarly-designed Falco Type 520 pack - there's a good one-minute YouTube on that. But it has the disadvantage of needing to ship from the Slovak Republic, which can take up to 6 weeks, reportedly. Nobody seems to already have it in stock domestically.
