A holster that attaches to a woman’s bra and has the best name for a holster ever, since they have to remove their shirt to draw. Clips to the underside and looked highly concealable. The pregnant lady at the booth had plenty of pics and I should have asked for some. You can buy them here.

Nice as a concept, but not great in reality. My wife tried a bra holster – gave it a thumb down.

Okay, mad props for the name.

Best name ever! Bet it’ll sell.

As with any piece of concealed carry gear, it is necessary to practice. Under stress, you’ll perform to your level of practice, and at the moment of confrontation is no time to fumble.
So, practice that draw. Repeatedly, obviously with an unloaded weapon or a similarly weighted prop.
Also, it helps to have a coach that can dispassionately and objectively observe your movements and suggest alterations to your technique.
Along those same lines, a great tool in training is a video camera, especially one that has a high frame rate so you can slow down the video so you can see every detail.
Now all I’m says is… I’m here to help.

Video of it in action with a novice shooter.
Totally SFW, because of that she isn’t getting her left hand (with its handful of shirt) up high enough to clear the muzzle. Kathy Jackson’s shoulder holster technique would work but might not be youtube friendly.

Yes, and most of the pieces accommodated are not the ones that serious-women’s-shooting advocates would allow them to be caught dead with. What you might call “boyfriend guns,” 380’s, snubnoses and the like. If they don’t have the capacity for a pair of .40’s, there’s no sense unhitching a perfectly good blouse, really.

I think it would go better in German:
Bustenhalterholster. Ok, Milwaukee dutch.
Kathy Jackson, years ago, wrote an article in “Women and Guns” (my favorite gun mag, being mostly sensible) about a holster which laid sideways under a skeleton-bra. Wear a sweatshirt over it, and if you have any respectable teats at all, nobody knows it’s there. I don’t think my moobs are quite big enough for that to work for me, though I am getting old and drink more beer than is prolly good for me.
