Concealed Carry for Women

Top Selling Women’s Holsters of 2015

I have to say, I just love digging into numbers and stats and seeing the picture they paint. I think it can be very helpful to “see” what solutions others with similar concealed carry challenges find effective for their concealed carry. Just as with a firearm, there is no “Best Holster For A Woman”. There are just too many variables that can make one choice good for one woman, but not effective for another. Importantly, to find the best mode of concealed carry for each woman consider things like body style, clothing, size, weight and physical limitations.  However, seeing which holsters are preferred can help to perhaps narrow the field or introduce something new that could work for you.

A lot Of Options

There are numerous options for women now. There are more than are shown here, so I encourage you to investigate the holster options in my article About Concealed Carry Holsters For Women. You can consider their advantages and disadvantages to help you make the best choices. Also, read Building Your Personal Concealed Carry System to guide you through the process of building your individualized system.

It’s important to understand that training is required with ANY and ALL holsters. You could be an awesome shooter, have the best gun and the best holster, but if you can’t draw your firearm quickly, safely and get on target – it all means nothing. Women are carrying in some unique locations and perhaps numerous locations during the week. It is imperative that you know where you gun is holstered and be proficient in drawing it all all times.

The top selling holsters below are based on our 2015 holster sales. As the largest online resource for women shooters, we sell ALOT of holsters.  I know most articles start with number 10 to build the anticipation and tease you till you get to number 1, but I am much too impatient for that and who needs the extra stress? So lets get to it.
