I'm looking for a good concealment option for a small 38 special revolver, other than carrying it in my purse.
As an American Woman by birth and Texan by the grace of God, I'd like to exercise my right to carry, especially since I am on the road alot for my job; so I got myself a Texas CHL a few years ago.
Then I looked around for a smaller pistol and came across an old snub-nosed 38 revolver in a box of my daddys things that I had never opened after he died from lung cancer a few years ago. I took the 38 to the range a few times and it shot fine, and other than the fact that it seems like it kicks alot for such a little gun with such a tiny little grip, it seems like it'll get the job done.
But what kinda holster can I use for it?
As a fashionable professional woman, I tend to prefer skirts and heels, to wranglers and cowboy boots (although I own those as well). But when wearing a tight pencil skirt and high heels without pantyhose to work on a daily basis, it doesnt leave much place for hiding a little pistol on a tiny framed petite woman like me, who's barely 5ft tall barefoot in high heels.
Other thing is, I don't like big monster purses. In fact I hate them. They look huge on me and are a pain to carry, plus I can never find what Im looking for whether its my cell phone or my cigarettes or my credit cards or my lighter or my car keys or my bandaids for blisters on my heels or whatever. So I usually just carry little tiny-clutch purses that don't leave much room for pistols, even a little snubnosed 38 special.
I looked at some galco pistol hiding purses at a gun show, but they were monster sized purses big enough to hide my daddys old 45 in. Waaay to big for me. Plus Im kinda a fashion snob, so if Louis Vuitton or Michael Kors doesnt make it, I don't want it for a purse.
So whats a girl to do? I seek your sage wisdom and counsel. Thank you kindly.
