    Now that winter is only a few weeks away in the Last Frontier, that means snowboots and knee length coats. I currently use the belly band for concealed carry, but that’s not going to work when I’m all bundled up with 2 or 3 layers of clothing. What would you suggest as a holster for my S&W 380EZ, with or without mounted light?

    1. Carrie Lightfoot says:

      Yes, it’s a bit tougher to get to your gun with all of the extra clothing worn in the winter. Outside of a pocket holster in your coat pocket, A waist pack could work or OWB. You could even consider wearing an IWB holster clipped inside your boot!

    I recently purchased the belly band from TWAW and I LOVE it!!! It’s very comfortable, I don’t even know I have it on. There are other makers of belly band but none are as comfortable. The material is very soft and there is the added zipper pouch for money , credit cards and other important papers, it come in 3 sizes, I ordered a size A I have a 36″ waist and I could make it smaller, but I’ll wear it for awhile before i do. Very well made you won’t be disappointed with it, I highly recommend,

  3. Anna Littlr says:

    I would like to see the pictures better. And to know what holster is used. I’m “fluffy” and it’s harder to conceal.

    1. Carrie Lightfoot says:

      Hi Anna! The holster is noted under each image so that should help you out. I am sorry you are having trouble viewing the images. It is much easier to see them if you use a computer or a tablet.

  4. Anne Davis says:

    This is great. I am a new CCW woman and this info is welcomed. Thank you in advance for all the experienced women who will submit their ideas and photos.

    Thank you.

    1. Malena says:

      Amen! I’m plus size, and it’s a challenge. My fluff already makes lumps!

      1. Jodi says:

        Me too! And to add to this fluff Problem I happen to live in 115• temps making “conceal” a real challenge. And I would prefer to cary my 9.

        1. They make fantastic conceal carry purses you can carry cross body while wearing your favorite summer dress….im plus size as well living in FL do have the same challenge.
