My wife is very small and wears tight clothing. She has a taurus 38 special she would like to carry. Anyone have info on a good holster/location for women's carry?

One on my (many) daughters, carries most of the time (S&W Bodyguard 380 w/ laser) and in the summer uses a "belly Band".
Winter( when she's wearing lots of clothes ) paddle holster.

In just about every situation for a woman to carry it is going to necessitate some type of covering piece of clothing. I have three different methods. One is to carry inside the waistband with a kydex holster at about 3:30-4 o'clock with a sweater, jacket or longer shirt as a covering garment. The reason why I say kydex is this for inside the waistband. Once you draw the weapon out of the holster a leather holster collapses and it's near impossible to re-holster the firearm once it has been drawn. There are a thousand different types of kydex and kydex hybrids that use leather backers but I use a full kydex that covers the trigger guard and it covers the side on my carry piece that sits up against my body. I have gotten to the point now where I tuck a blouse or shirt into my jeans and then insert the kydex holster and clip it onto my belt and then button my jeans, buckle the belt and use a sweater, jacket or longer shirt as a coverup.

The second is basically the same in an outside the waistband holster with the same type of covering garment. Inside of the waistband requires jeans, skirt or belt to be a little looser in the waist so you can button the garment and buckle the belt. With outside the waistband you just need a good holster and sturdy belt to draw from.

The third way I use, remember this is what I use, is a shoulder holster in a holster that holds the firearm in a vertical position. It was difficult to find a good holster I was comfortable with but I found a leather one made by Kingdom leather holsters that I'm able to work with. I am a tall person and many shoulder holsters just didn't work for me. A good shoulder holster that has wider straps is necessary for even weight distribution. The over priced Galco and other famous name brands pinched and cut into my sensitive chest area.

I have one other suggestion. Please, take this into consideration, carrying off body in a purse is not a good idea. Purses can be easily snatched, forgotten or stolen from while sitting out of eyesight. In carrying a firearm fashion has to be compromised in order for that type of protection to be effective. Hope that helps.

Search these forums for "Flashbang". Use that as a starting point for further research.

Aside from the most common holsters - inside the pants, on the belt, you may want her to take a look at the more unknown yet still practical options - such as Pistolwear and Smart Carry. I do not know where you are located but if in the Pittsburgh area, you could have her meet up with me and i could show her some of those options. Overall i prefer my Galco ankle holster for the colder months but those firearm options are limited. I do carry my model 60 S&W on my ankle with no issues.
