The Right Guns, Holsters And Ammo For Women
After over 35 years in the holster business, Galco has learned a great deal about what works (and what may not) when it comes to carrying handguns. One of the things we’ve learned is that female gun carriers often require carry options different from their male counterparts. Common sense and simple observation tells us that women’s bodies are often shaped differently than men’s. An item that rides close to a woman’s body – like a concealment holster – may need to be shaped a little differently than one designed for a man, not only for comfort, but also for concealment.
Over the years, and after speaking with literally thousands of female customers, we at Galco have found these items to work well for a majority of women of varying body shapes. Recognizing and wholeheartedly endorsing the ever-increasing number of female shooters and gun carriers, we proudly offer these recommendations, conveniently separated from our full line of shooting equipment.
The Kramer Woman’s Belt Scabbard, FBI Forward Tilt is designed specifically for women. Kramer Leather listened to the common complaint from women that most holsters ride too high with the grip of the gun up around the armpit.
They took into account that a woman’s curved hips tend to push the muzzle of the gun outward, causing the grip to jam into her ribs. The Women’s Belt Scabbard carries the gun at a lower, more comfortable and accessible position for a woman. The belt slot is lined with molded plastic and formed at such an angle as to tilt the grip out slightly, preventing it from jamming into the rib cage. The gun is carried on the strong side at an FBI tilt.
