Carry Options for Women
Hey guys,
I got my CHL earlier this year, and am finally starting to look into carry options a bit more seriously.
Drew had taken me to the gun range some months back to shop around, and I loved the Kimber solo (of course) and also liked the Karh PM9, was wondering if anyone out there could suggest any other small carry pistols in 9mm to try out before I make a decision? I know the Kimber is on long wait list most everywhere - but that would be my preferred option. I'm sure the wait list is about the same anywhere, but if you know of anyplace where it's a bit shorter, send my way.
Also, if any of your wives/girlfriends have preferred methods for carry, would love to hear. I have been looking into the Flashbang and Marylin holsters from flashbang.com, but might also try something on the hip. Any helpful advice would be most awesome!

Here is the review, also, if you look at some of her other videos, you will see many many great options for the wommens.
She uses a Galco fanny pack holster that fits in perfectly with all the other bags and gear in the truck.

Or fanny pack it.
I personally haven't owned an EMP but have witnessed consistent failure in one. I've seen enough anecdotal reports of the EMP failures when I was VERY interested in getting one that I decided against it. Most of all, its price hovers around the $1000 mark, which seems rather steep compared to something like a Colt Defender 9mm.
Don't arm the purse snatcher! :tooth:
Sarah, the PM9 is good gun with a solid reputation. My wife has an MK9, which is the all-metal (heavier) version of the PM9 and really like it! She's really good with it. The only thing is that it doesn't shoot steel case (cheaper) ammo reliably. The Solo is relatively new to the market and there have been quite a few reports of issues (again, anecdotal). Personal, I never recommend or purchase a gun that is new to market for carry. Too much risks.

It is a very nice carry HG.
So nice I am going to get one.
Me and you know the truth, brother. Those other guys are compensating for some lack...
That could almost be a real "Shocker" ... :devil:

Then you wake up as your wife reminds you to take out the garbage.... :jester:
Not as much of a chuckle as you intend. Some years ago, a close friend of mine carried her carry gun in her purse despite being advised repeatedly of the risks involved. The purse was grabbed by a couple of adolescents as she was leaving the mall.. Knowing what was in the purse she refused to let go and as a result was badly beaten by the pair and still lost her handgun. Visiting her in the hospital, she relayed that the fact that she had armed these guys hurt worse than the beating...and assured me she would never carry in that manner again.
Whoa....that left a mark!:tooth:

Your one word replies can be confusing at times...
Really?
I got it. All about bad timing.....
Unlike men......
Wow, that's definitely a lesson for everyone! I tell people "don't arm the purse snatchers" all the time, but haven't had anecdotes to share. I'll be using this one for sure.

No, it is merely the perception that women do not carry firearms.... that is what screams "I don't have a gun" a good thing, the last thing to pass through that criminals mind before the bullet.....
