Now friends, I have been married for about a decade and one of the things that I have learned about my wife in that decade is there are two things that she loves, clothes and guns.
She’s just as content on a gun range as she is shopping for clothes. Like most women, they like to change their look on an almost daily basis sometimes.
Some days she’ll go with the big Mary Poppins purse, some others it’ll just be her phone and some cash tucked into a pair of jeans.
Not saying that the jeans don’t have their benefit, Lord have mercy they do, but the one problem for Second Amendment loving women like my wife is that dependent on your fashion choices of the day that limits your ability to actually conceal while you are carrying.
Now, I know some of you are probably thinking that women of a like mind as my wife is should just use a regular holster or even an ankle holster.
Remember, a lot of women base every move around what they are wearing. No long jeans means no ankle holster. Wearing a dress means no holster around the waist.
Which leads you to the only discreet option left, a bra holster with the gun pressed firmly up against her, well; let’s just go with heart.
The problem, at least the way my wife tells it, is that bra holsters are often extremely uncomfortable. In her defense and in the defense of other women out there, their complaints are not without good reason. Up until fairly recently, a lot of gun accessories have been made exclusively by guys.
Well, a company called Flashbang has produced a bra holster that is not only made for women, but was designed by women as well. This automatically signals that they are catering towards what gun owning women would want in a bra holster since the complaints of the customer with bra holsters are often the complaints the designers probably had.
The holster itself attaches to most bras with a strap and tucks underneath the band, making concealment very easy.
I bought one for my wife to try out and she said that the first thing that she noticed is that the suede material that makes up the holster is some of the most comfortable material she has felt period, never mind a holster.
The way she explain it, if you are going to have something sitting against your breasts for several hours on end it better be as comfortable as a sack of clouds.
Assembling the holster was very easy for her as well, as the instruction card that comes with the holster was very easy to understand and practically anyone could put this thing together.
That being said, one of the few cons that this holster has is that it apparently works better with traditional types than more recent designs. Women should definitely keep that in mind when using the holster.
To sum it up, I would say that this is a good quality product. Some people might think that a bra holster is a gimmick, that it is something that you would see the house madam using in an old Western movie.
But as my wife will attest, this thing is worth every last penny.
