Consider changing to a revolver for carry. Another thread discusses the merits of a Barami Hip Grip which allows for holsterless carry. Other than pocket carry of something like a KelTec P3AT, a snubbie with a Barami is about as concealable as you'll get.

When you get finished at corneredcat and any others mentioned, you might look at this:
http://www.womensholsters.com/index.html Don't know a thing about the products, but the female holster maker does a good job explaining about belt carry.

The Keltecs are among the smallest and lightest weight guns to carry concealed. Small revolvers like the SW J frames are also a good choice. I would think your Kahr should also be easy to carry. Glocks might be a bit thick and blocky for you to easily conceal.
Keltec in a pocket holster, or IWB like the ones offered by UBG might work nicely. The P3AT in the clip on Striker from UBG is easily concealed under a t shirt. Your Kahr ought do the same. Andrews Mc Daniel II conceals my Kahr K40 very well. I really like having my Glock 26/27 in my new Comp tac MTAC IWB holster. It is half kydex/ half leather, adjustable for carry height & cant. Rather thin and very comfortable. Easily concealed under a t shirt. Finding the position on the body that works best for you may take some experimentation. Its all about finding the holster that will hold your gun in tight to the body, and avoid it being easily detectable. I understand a woman's shape will require different approach for concealed carry, but these holsters just might work for you. Just a few options to consider. |

Also , consider a under armor or similar shirt for the base layer. Light and breathable, but provides chafe protection.

Not AWOL (or UA as we Marine wives know it) but over worked and under paid!
![]() Kahrgirl and I are in communication via email but to shed a little light for others who might be interested in the topic, one must remember that sometimes it's not as easy as saying, "get this holster and this gun, come back and see me in two weeks." Body shape, size and lifestyle have a lot to do with it. I'll recommend something entirely different for a 100 lbs professional surfer than a 250 lbs office assistant. Or even a 100 lbs office assistant and a 250 lbs surfer.

Note to Keltec and Rohrbaugh lovers: We can't buy those in CA.

i don't know anything about female carry. although, i'd have to say that i can't imagine keeping your firearm in your purse as being a good idea.
more importantly, welcome to the site!
