I have decided on carrying a Glock 26 when I get my permit. I am 5'10" which is pretty tall for a woman. I am wondering if any body has any suggestions for me to carry and conceal effectively. I do not want to carry off body. Just want a good concealable holster.

My wife has seemed to indicate that SOB works best for her. She always carries on her waste at home, but when we go out, the only place she seems to be able to conceal it effectively is SOB. Hope this helps, and welcome!

Is the SOB not uncomfortable when she sits down?

One holster won't do, you'll have to start a collection like the rest of us.
Welcome to the forum!
My wife carries at 4 o'clock in a leather OWB and dresses around her weapon.
Many good holsters to choose from, where do you want to carry?, how do you want to dress? and whats your budget?

I have nothing to offer on this post but a warm welcome from the group.

Hi TD,
If you haven't seen it yet, there's a good forum available for women - called Women & Guns, hosted by the magazine by the same name.

Some of the ladies there have posted pics about how they conceal without changing their normal attire all that much .

I originally used AIWB (2 o'clock) postion, but the problem with it was drawing when seated position - especially in the car with the seatbelt in the way. I have transferred my primary carry position to IWB crossdraw from about 11:00.

She carries a VERY thin PPS and apparently with the cant she keeps it at, the skinnyness (not a word I know) of the gun, and the coverage the holster offers she never seems to mind it.

Another site with a lot of good information is Cornered Cat. Kathy Jackson who owns the site is also editor of Concealed Carry Magazine. You might want to check both sources out to see what info they might provide.

You might want to try SOB holsters, but worn over the kidney. That way you won't damage your spine if you fall on it. Also try appendix carry under an untucked shirt. Also try cross draw under an untucked shirt. A belly band holster lets you do all of the above with a tucked shirt. Then there's Smart Carry...

Anyhoo - welcome aboard and I'll bet it's REALLY cold in W. BG Va.
