Since I am right-handed, the holster sits just under the left side. You put the leather strap over the gore and then snap the leather strap into place. The majority of my “gores” are the same size, so once you have it fit-which only takes a few minutes-you should be good to go with a variety of bras. The straps connect to the holster by a screw, but once you get the correct size strap on, you should not have to change it out. The holster straps are made of soft leather and each strap has different holes, much like on a belt, so you can adjust the length of each strap. The Flashbang bra holster is a black, molded plastic holder that includes three different size straps that button over the middle of your bra strap, technically called the “gore” which connects the two cups. The first time I tried, I pulled the whole holster out! I am not ruling out carrying like this most of my outfits work well with an inside-the-pants holster in any position 4 o’clock, hip, and small of back. Drawing from this position will take practice. It also made me less self-conscious about any weird bulging. I switched the holster to the 4 o’clock position, which was most comfortable while standing, but not sitting. Really? What woman wants more bulge on her hips? However, this position was the most comfortable while sitting down at my desk. ![]() Hip carry gave me a very self-conscious bulge. This holster is versatile in where you place it around your waist. Next, I tried a leather inside-the-pants holster made by Triple K, on CTD Ben’s recommendation. The ankle holster was a short-lived attempt. Since Capris and shorts are a staple in my wardrobe, I am not willing to sacrifice my fashion just for a completely inconvenient way to carry. Besides the ill fit, and awkwardness of drawing, Capri pants, rolled-up jeans, and flip-flops or sandals, are out. It would have required bending down, lifting up my pants leg with one hand, and trying to draw with the other. And I’m not even sure how I would have been able to draw quickly, especially if I was standing up. Even with my boot-cut pants, the gun and holster made a bulge. No matter what adjustments I made, the gun poked out of the bottom of my pants. I guess my ankle-to-knee ratio is shorter than a man’s because the knee strap did not sit properly to conceal the muzzle of the gun. The ankle holster I chose made my gun sit too low. That day I was wearing Dickies’ boot-cut pants, a form-fitting t-shirt, and Converse tennis shoes. I watched a video on different ways for a woman to carry, and I figured I would try ankle carry first. ![]() In every single pair of my pants either the pockets are too tight, too shallow, or both. I am envious of their ability to pocket carry, which I didn’t even attempt. ![]() In the last few weeks, I have quizzed the guys in the office for advice on which holsters to try. Not to mention, women’s fashions don’t lend themselves well to conceal carry dresses, skirts, form-fitting tops, and tight pants create quite the challenge to conceal a gun. Built differently than men, women and the curves of our bodies cause many belt and hip holsters sit too high or too low for them to be comfortable. The majority of holsters are designed by men, for men. It’s no secret that we women have a hard time trying to find a comfortable way to carry our guns concealed. ![]()
