No, she did not like the strong side delFattis. I ordered her a Haugen Handgun Leather Model 21 SSCD crossdraw. The holster has a belt tab forward of the grip that pulls the pistol close to the body. She is a cross draw kind of gal. The holster is custom fit to the S&W 642 and covers it well. She is most worried about carjackings, so the crossdraw places the pistol right where she needs it. She wears a cover garment all the time anyway, so concealment is not an issue.

Great deal! BTW, if you purchase on-line, you need to watch the transaction. My purchase on-line was not recorded, and the seller never shipped the handgun. I was out of town, and was not able to resolve the issue until I returned. He honored the deal, though, and I plan on giving him a good review.

rlp1970, I am looking at delFatti leather for her. He maakes good lady leather from what I hear. She likes the idea of a holster on strong side 2 o'clock. She gets cold in August, so a cover garment is common for her. She mentioned crossdraw too, but we will see. She does want a gun purse, but she knows that is not the best way. My main concern is that she keep it on her person around the house. A pocket holster is in order too.

Stevie D,

Happy to oblige. I bought it through Gunbroker.com, the dealer was Security Safe Outlet in Lexington, KY. Paid $326.00 plus ship plus FFL fee to my local dealer. This is the third pistol I have bought through GunBroker.

:D

I just want my darling to load up with what is best. I shoot Cor-Bons in my semiautos.

Thanks for the info.

I just ordered my wife her new carry handgun, a S&W 642. She really hates semiautos, and she really liked the revolver when she shot it at the range. She shot the Lady Smith version, but she picked out the standard model on-line. It was 130 bucks cheaper than the LS. Makes no sense to pay more for 1/2 ounce less.

Am buying some of the Extreme Shock ammo. I saw it at the NRA convention. With only 5 shots, I want her to have the best ammo to stop the threat.

I will be ordering her a holster and other related women carry stuff. She will be safer now that she is comfortable with her weapon. Looking at the delFatti women's holsters. She almost always wears a cover garment, so the times she doesn't I will urge her towards pocket carry and the carry purse as a last resort. I have her convinced to pack 24/7 (she can't at work....stupid rules}. I pack always, even in my swim trunks around the pool. Kinda tough in the Speedo. No belt loops, and the thunderwear buckle shows.

Any input from the Texas CHL ladies will be great.
