    Do you wear a lot of form fitting clothing?
    I currently carry a Glock 26 with a IWB holster (http://theisholsters.com/ just like the crossbreed but a bit cheaper and I got mine super fast). It is VERY comfy and easy to shoot with the pinky ext.

    BUT I'm limited on what I can wear and not have any type of bulge. Granted not many would think the bulge is a gun... but.. still..


    I'm now looking at the Ruger LCP which is itty bitty! VERY easy to conceal and not too shabby for shooting.

    Nothing compact is going to be a great target shooter. Anything will put the bad guy to the ground. If you are in a situation you have to shoot instead of run for cover you're close enough that accuracy wont matter too much.

    In my experience revolvers are harder for me to shoot. The waffle type grip on them hurts like CRAZY! Snub nose was HORRIBLE on my lil hand! lol I shot that twice and handed it back.

    Females just can't hide full frame guns as well. Those are much better for target shooting and being a bit better all around for accuracy. But so hard to wear for a female.

    And keep weight in mind. Even with a belt my Glock 26 causes me to have to pull my pants up a good bit. But I guess if I had more of an ass it wouldn't be too big of an issue lol

    Oh I've seen her videos. She does have good ones. I have decided to try the Looper brand pin up collection. The lady who created the flash-bang holster, also has other ones. And those seem to probably be some of the best for me.

    Thanks for the links though, I appreciate it. I am thinking of just getting the guns, so I can at least go to a range, and shoot them. If I don't like them, I can always resell them, and just keep trying out guns till I find one I like.

    I know its not optimal. But I really don't see another option right now, except maybe asking the gun shop if they could rent me a gun to try out. That is the only other idea I have. Any more ideas would help.

    As far as the clothes go. Most of my shirts are loose, but not too loose, I have been in the process of changing my wardrobe, I lost a bit of weight (Not intentional mind you, I had some vitamin D deficiency to deal with, and that made me loose weight). So some of my shirts are still size 8's rather then size 4. LOL, funny story. I am a little nervous shooting a revolver because of the recoil, but it is a heavy enough revolver I don't think that will matter much. I do not know where to rent as I said, so. I am thinking of the Lady Sig for an automatic. But I do want a revolver for the ease of use.

    I am not too limited on what I can wear. I most of the time wear jeans and shirts. I guess though I would have to get some just a little bit looser as far as my fancier shirts go. Got two shirts I love and won't give up, so I may have to try a different holster position or just wear a vest over my shirt (black and long or brown and long would wear well for this one particular style of shirt). Anyway. Thanks for the information. I got really tiny hands too and very skinny fingers. But I feel that Revolver won't be too bad for me. Anyway they did do something to help with recoil. Older models may not have it. I am not big on changing the gun, or adding features to it. I want one that shoots is all, and feels comfy in my hand.

    I haven't looked at that type of holster though. I did look at Old Faithful, which is similar to crossbread too. So I guess I will take a look at that. And as I said, I am going to be looking at the Pin up collection from Looper Brand.

    Hmm interesting concept. I don't want to lift my shirt to shoot someone though lol

    Do you not have friend's with guns? Granted 99% of my friends are all in law enforcement - but they have a plethora of guns! That's how I got my first taste of an AR :cool:

    I don't ever wear skirts or dresses so i'm no help with all that. Thigh holster? That would be hot.. lol
