Stop blaming men for small pockets!

[IAM Rand]

So I have been working with my wife on CCW. She got her card and has wanted to start carrying. Still needs some more work. I got her a Shield Plus PC and IWB holster from Urban Carry. Great gun and great set up. PROBLEM, still not that easy to conceal. She wears t-shirts to work does a lot of moving around. Next step, BG 2.0 or 2.0 Comp. Did a little Youtube research to see more about it. Honest Outlaw only shot about 180 rounds and had very positive comments about it. Not sure if we and to get the bigger Comp but it looks awesome.

I talked to her about the carry options which are all not great due to her job moving around an climbing up and down ladders. I told her that pocket carry was an option but not in the ladies type of pants. Not sure who thought it was a good idea to make women's pants with pockets that fit a couple dollars in quarters at best. She is more common sense then many women and realize that men are not to blame anymore for small pockets.

We will be testing out the BG 2.0 here in the next couple of weeks to see if she likes it and what we can do to conceal it on her person. She may have to get men's pants to enjoy the larger pockets. I have to say that it is easier to conceal a weapon(s) on a larger frame.

Please consider to have your wife rack the slide of the BG2.
Adding Talon grips to the rear of the slide helps a lot.
For the BG2 Comp, the slight added size and weight is an issue for concealment and comfort, however the new sights and apparently easier racking may be factor.

I used to work in a mental institution where all incoming patients had to be searched.

I remember one night a lady was being searched and I asked her to empty her pockets.

She looked at me and said "You know absolutely nothing about women's clothing do you?"

Apparently the front pockets on her pants weren't even real. They were like maybe the size of a watch pocket on a pair of Levi's.

The other day I saw a rather large guy wearing a Fanny Pack across his chest.
Fairly large Fanny Pack.
I’m thinking, he could carry a Pair of Desert Eagles in that thing!
Maybe consecutive serial numbers!

Kathy Jackson offers some carry suggestions for women on her website: Cornered Cat.

She also offers some great advice for anyone getting into pistol buying, shooting, and/or concealed carry.

In a recent CCW permit class, the best shooter was a 5'2" soccer mom with a sig 365. She had a very attractive purse which was built for concealed carry. She could reach into a side opening and pull it out, or just palm it and shoot right through the purse if necessary. Another guy had a day planner with similar function. There are many way to conceal a handgun without the need for clothing.
