G19 Holster for a petite woman

[tackleberry45]

She is 5' 4" and about 120. Loves the G19. I was thinking Raven Concealment. She knows she has to adjust her dress but we wanted to start with the right holster to hold the G19 high and tight as OWB. She does not want IWB.

Start looking in the shops and online. The best holster is going to be the one that fits her the way she wants.

I have a Raven Concealment Phantom. It is a very nice holster, though I don't know if it will work well for women. I suppose it depends on her shape. A high ride hydex, especially one like the Phantom that is relatively wide and with a sweat shield, may not be that comfortable for women.

Here is some info from The Cornered Cat about women's shapes and holsters.

Fobus makes a paddle holster that is light, easy on/easy off and very affordable. I like mine.

Probably as good a high & tight holster you can buy is the plastic one Glock makes.

I'm not sure how well it would work over a woman's hips.
But you can't buy anything else for 4 times $18 bucks even close to as good for light, tight to the body, secure, & fast.

If she doesn't have an hourglass figure, and has a petite / boyish figured?
It will work as well or better then about anything else you can buy.

There are a few makers that produce a female specific holster.

The lady fist holster has worked for 2 of my female friends that CCW. Great workman ship for the money on all Fist brand leather holsters. Turn around time is 8 weeks but my Fist #9 has held up to 6 years of daily carry. Get what works for her not you.
