I'm wondering if any of the women out there have found a good holster?

I was packing in a concealed carry purse for a while, but after the kids' sweetarts got smashed into my Springfield XD 9mm SC :dunno: and after much contemplation about how LONG it would take me to draw my weapon, I've switched to and inside the waistband holster (Galco STO444) I've been fairly pleased with this holster. However, most of the clothing that we wear cannot hide the bulk of a firearm. with the low waist pants and tight fitting shirts, my weapon is rarely "concealed."

I'm wondering if any women have tried the thigh holster (I do wear skirts a lot, so I've been considering this) or anything else? I know this is a shot in the dark, but any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello, I posted this on another thread in May and I haven't changed much of anything .. I do like the ankle glove even with heels or hiking boots and the thigh holster took some getting used to, however if the only other option is not to carry, I choose thigh holster.. so the following is a duplicate..
Helloo,,, yes I carried in my Triple K made for concealed, purse. I actually like it a lot. The concealed pocket isn't really inside so when I did have to go thru a purse search at a waterpark, I was able to open all the zippered (visual) sections and never had any reason to show the ticket taker/ purse checker that special compartment. Check it out on Cabela's website or at the store (in the gun section, not womens purses) I decided a long time ago that I would put my hand into the purse walking any where I felt the need or the want. I would need to buy a new purse if I EVER needed to use the gun. I know that bringing the gun into view would be pretty easy for a BG to take it from me. Most of the folks that express concern for purse carry believe that a purse can be "snatched" pretty easy and they are right. But for me it is a good way to conceal and carry when I am not able to otherwise. New/ old option for me has been ankle carry which I do any time I wear pants. It is the Galco ankle glove. I like the idea of it being on me at all times that way. Without the support strap ( has to be purchased extra) it has a tendency to slide right on the top of my foot, especially when I wear spike heels. BUT the newest set up and since I wear a skirt or dress 5-6 days a week, I am now sporting a thigh holster by Galco and it comes with the waistband and belt support strap. I am pleasantly surprised at how well it conceals under my skirts. The only downfall that I have with this is the Ladies room. Nylons and velcro make it a little more time consuming :ack:
PM me if you want more details
Hope that helps ,, and the triple k purse is unique in the way the compartment is hidden, nothing else goes in there.

The smart carry is an ibw holster that gets it off your hip so it doesn't show as much.

this is a low quality clip, but it shows you the idea, and how it looks on a women.
