Oh well, it was just a thought.mamabearCali wrote:We tried it on in the store. Yeah--NO! I looked ridiculous even with a cover garment not the mention that I could hardly reach it. Additionally as a PP stated there have been times for saftey sake that I have had to carry my two year old (parking lots/etc) he is getting better at walking and holding my hand--but only recently. That would have meant not just irritation but PAIN in carrying for that time to the point where I could not have done it. I do appreciate the suggestion though! No worries somewhere between 4-6 weeks from now my belly will be much smaller though I will likely stay around the house for another 4-6 weeks after that so soon enough I will be back to where I can do reasonable carries without all this nonsense.

Understood.Divided Attention wrote:I keep trying to think how to put this.... I am not sure of the gender of the shoulder holster posters; however, I suspect they are of the masculine persuasion. Especially when expecting, certain parts of female anatomy can make it difficult to draw from a shoulder type holster. Add carrying toddlers to that, and I am not sure it is any better than the other options she has explored. JMPHO, and we appreciate the input, always to hear other's perspective.!
It is just a suggestion that she might try. They have some very low priced nylon shoulder holsters at Academy that can be worn vertically. I have a Bianchi IWB which I used. One day I spotted the nylon rig I mentioned at Academy and bought it. It took a little while to get it adjusted but it is now my primary carry method. It is cheap enough that if it doesn’t work, she will only be out $20 or $30.
I have been doing leather work on the side for about two years and now feel confident enough to start building my own custom rig.

Re: Belly Band Fail combined with loquacious children
I don’t know if this would help you but I settled on a shoulder holster for my primary carry.
With a good shoulder holster you can;
Draw faster than with an IWB or belt holster.
Sit down more comfortably.
Draw while sitting down without going through contortions.
Use the restroom without removing your firearm from the holster.
Retain control of your firearm better.
I have always thought that if I am in a bad situation I could put my hand inside my vest and lift the gun almost out of the holster while telling the BG to leave me alone. If he chooses life, then he will never have seen the gun.
