[QUOTE="bratch, post: 1183730, member: 83"] Atleast she is toying with the idea. My wife has no desire for on body carry. She doesn't like belts and doesn't want to dress around it. She carries in a purse but she has to carefully shop for her purses as she thinks most of the dedicated gun purses are ugly, so it has to be a commercial purse she likes that is also suitable for carry. I don't see ankle carry working real well with current female styles. I don't think the pants have enough extra material to cover and be easy to access the pistol. IMO trendy female clothing does not lend itself to CCW at all. The shirts are fitted and usually a light clingy material and the jeans are also more fitted making ankle and pocket carry difficult if not impossible. I'd love for my wife EDC on the waist but her wardrobe just doesn't allow it. I can't think of any girls that I know under 30 that could easily either with their current way of dress. I'd get her to a store that has a good rental selection and let her go to town shooting everything in the store. My wife handled every 9mm in H&H and ended up with a P2000sk. She shot my M&P Pro a while back and fell in love with it. She now has her own Pro, she's shot it more in a month than she had her HK in 2 years. The first pistol she ever shot was my 1911, she really enjoyed it but decided the weight and manual of arms would not be conducive to her carry use. The problem with the little pistols is they aren't real fun to shoot and they are harder to shoot well. If you don't enjoy shooting them they aren't going to get shot much and profeciency will be lacking. [/QUOTE]
