They do make concealed carry fanny packs. I have one myself. has 3 compartments. Largest one (and closest to th body) is for the gun. Middle one is a little smaller then the smallest one in front can carry smaller things (keys, tissues, wallet, etc. It;s also designed for ambidextrous access.

Well I failed the reading comprehension test today........

You aren't the only one. I just reread this. I'm sorry, please ignore my earlier answer. I misread the question too.

In central america I wore a shoulder rig while jogging, with my 1911 in it. And I sweat a LOT. Two bozos tried screwing with me one time and were pretty surprised when I drug that thing out from under my t-shirt. LOL

Fanny pack is easy and no one looks twice if a woman over 40 is wearing one.

It might just be me but fanny pack screams unorganized nerd or gun.

Shoulder holsters definitely have their place and conceal very well. Nobody expects a Roscoe in your arm pit. Not sure about putting one on to carry each day around the house though....

Belly band.

Ditto. I got a sub$30 belly band off of Amazon and it works fine. I’m in Florida so gym shorts with elastic are fairly common.

She's kinda hesitant about a shoulder rig, I don't know why

YES, she wears a bra.

 

[DisgruntledPatriot]

THERE. Fixed the title, ya mooks.

Oh and correction:

They aren't plus TWO extensions, they're plus THREE. Galloway precision.

Even better buzzsaw.

Pretty funny that due to my own lack of reading comprehension and entire thread topic gets renamed. Not sure if this is a badge of honor or a dunce cap of shame?

Can't it be both?

While we're talking Ruger, anyone know of a light mount for the P89?

I love that damn thing

Hopefully I'm not hijacking the thread, but I am always looking to revamp my CC. About the belly bands, reading the reviews on them, most say they use velcro. Velcro is great for city people, but for those of us who work on a farm, we're lucky if it last 6 months. My last velcro thing has more goat hair and hay tangled in it than a small goat munching at the manger. It renders them basically useless by wearing down the tiny hooks and barbs. Do all of these belly bands use velcro or are some of them more belt like and then are they easy to conceal? Thanks.

Indeed, those belly bands just don't have the durability to be worn consistently for workin' folk, and they generally come with issues concerning how well the firearm is retained/drawn.

I usually reccomend the phlster enigma because it avoids all those pitfalls and gives you a stable platform for a real serious holster. Very modular, and the best system I've seen for folks who aren't wearing a conventional sunbelt.

A serious system, not a $15 piece of neoprene from amazon.

Yeah. That’s just you. 😉

Especially on an old lady wearing sweats, where it screams, “I grew up in the 1900’s and I don’t GAF what you kids all think is cool.”

98% chance the thing is concealed under a t-shirt or sweatshirt anyway.

Me too. As soon as it gets cold enough it’s under my coat, every year.

Fanny pack at waist, or across chest as is currently fashionable all year long. Belly band in colder months when it's comfy to wear under clothing. IWB or OWB is out of the question for me, due to waistline scar tissue from a bowel resection. BTW, no one seems to notice fanny packs these days.

I got the P90 and love it also. Ive had it for several decades.

Good suggestions so far. I am hesitant as a man to make suggestions related to a holster and manner to carry when it comes to women. No bashing, but a different body shape than men, while likely having a higher desire for comfort versus function. I do use a belly band for a Ruger Max with two spare mags and it works great when active and including jogging. The Ruger Max is a tiny gun though. I do think that a belly band is one option.

For two carry systems, I would also recommend a small fanny pack as well. Lots of options, but the smaller, the better just for ease of carrying. Easy to grab and put on in any (or no) attire, can be covered up by a hoodie, and off-body carry is less of a concern in/around the house.

Outside the home CCW with loose fitting clothes and likely not wearing a steel-banded gun belt, PHLster Enigma is going to be one of the best, purpose-built options. Expensive to get into, but vastly superior to most other on-body, non-belt type pants, and excellent concealment while maximizing comfort. The challenge would is getting your wife to agree on trying it out for a month or two.

Bra holsters. My wife went overboard in the CCW world about a decade ago. Did a lot of research tried various carry methods, etc. She only carries her diminutive Kel-Tech P3AT .380 when she was backpacking solo. She uses a Ruger SR9-compact for home defense (bedside gun and primary training handgun), and her LC9s is really what she prefers to CCW. She found that a light dress vest, tunic-like garment would work perfectly without having to change her entire wardrobe or attire choices when carry concealed.

She did get the "Flash Bang" bra holster and practiced it on an empty range (depending on how vigorous your clear and draw is, you may very well flash the target). Word of caution for you men. First, that's a great place for concealed carry despite the one cautionary concern. The holster connection to the bra really tore the bra up and if your wife prefers certain bras for fit and comfort, you'll be surprised at what a quality bra costs! just a cautionary warning.

She wears sweats, as in sweat pants, it doesn't say she sweats a lot...

My first glance at the title gave me that impression too.

I see the title now has been edited.

At least I'm not the Lone Ranger on this. Glad Tonto and his buddies are along.
