The Curse of Shoes and Holsters
Concealed Carry Weapon Aug. 27, 2009 - Posted in Pro CCW As every lady knows. You need the right shoes and color to bring out and go with a dress. Any pair of shoes won't do! Style, color and fit will determine the winner of the perfect accessory award. If you are a concealed carry weapon permit holder you say the same thing about your gun holster. You too are concerned about color, style, and fit! Will the gun be holstered behind the back? Positioned on the hip bone? Located above the appendix? On the Ankle?
On the thigh? A purse? A tote bag. Decisions, decision always appear for those who want to get it right. Will the gun be on a belt outside the waist band or inside the waist band? Perhaps a cargo pant's pocket? In any case you will make the decision that best fits what you're wearing.
You will make the trade off for comfort, draw presentation speed, and whether the gun can be spotted on your person from 100 yards away. Ladies don't make the mistake of getting a gun belt or holster that doesn't acknowledge the difference between a gentleman and a lady. Based on sex the gun belt needs a different contour to fit each sex and be comfortable. Between concealability, size, style, and body shape let alone color we grow quite a collection of holsters. Ladies can always find a shoe store! The CCW customer has it rough. Some stores ban carrying a concealed firearm into their store.
The local Hecht's Belks, Sears, Peeple, Kohl's don't carry gun holsters. Most of us buy from catalogs or online. Online forums where members discuss their CCW holsters and experience have become the gold standard for narrowing the selection process. Still, we forgo the try it on experience since it's not available. Trying our guns in a holster in a public place doesn't happen often. So we read and look and take a chance and place our order. With bated breath we wait for Fedex. The order comes in and we try it. What do you know!
It works and does what we thought it would. Another old holster hits the discard drawer. What works with after my after five tuxedo does work with my boxer bathing suit or two piece for you. A 380 ACP, 9 millimeter, or 45 ACP pistol don't fit the same holster or every body style. Concealed carry means concealed from view or maybe she colors her hair but only her hairdressers knew? Most ladies don't want their panties to print through their attire. The same applies with a concealed carry weapon. Make sure it doesn't show through your clothing. Still nothing beats the smell of new leather.
The supple feeling as it encloses and receives that firearm with a velvety touch. Did you see how the holster defeated the bad guy's grab for the pistol? You did a quarter mile of hurdles and it didn't fall out once.
That's a holster! Present your firearm and fire two controlled shots in less than a second from a concealed holster shows a matched holster, pistol, practice and trained individual. “Yes, I recognize that there is a lawyer attached to every bullet fired. That's why ammo is so expensive.
But I care enough to send the best!” Still all holsters can't be all things to all people. The same applies to shoes! But darn I still like them.
