I bought my wife a Ruger LC9 with the laser for Christmas and wanted to get a good holster to go along with it. I imagine she would like the inside the pants type, but I know NOTHING about holsters. I understand it is probably a personal choice, but point me in the right direction. I want a decent holster without waisting my money. :D
 
I'll be watching this one.

I just bought my first IWB holster. A DeSantis SoftTuck. So far so good but I'd like to hear the opinion of others on the larger leather IWB offerings. Especially for warmer weather use.
 
Crossbreed Holsters. The MiniTuck would be what you would look at as they are available for the LC9 with different lasers. I use a SuperTuck and have loved it since day 1. It's super comfortable and will probably last forever, so the price is well worth it.
 
I have a half a dozen Blade-Tech's. Quality stuff. A point to consider when fitting a woman to an IWB is the way she likes her jeans to fit. An IWB will fit and feel very different if a woman likes low rider jeans that hug around the hip bones rather than jeans that are higher in cut that hug a woman's belly button level. Also consider if she likes to wear shirts untucked or tucked. Is she willing to wear shirts one size larger, ie: her size is Med, but will wear a Large to help with concealment. Does she wear a belt? some IWBs will have a fixed kydex loop, and some will have rubber loops that are a little more forgiving. I would suggest strongly that any holster you buy should have an "FBI cant", which is the handle of the pistol is canted forward with the barrel pointing more behind than straight down. This fbi cant really helps with concealment. Perhaps finding a women's carry forum will help too.

I have had good luck with Galco and a couple others. The main thing you should be focusing on is a good belt though if she's really going to carry it. A good belt is more important than the holster IMO. 5 stitch Wilderness Frequent Flyer belt is a what I wear. Holds big knives well too. :D

+1 I don't own one, but I plan on getting one, and have heard nothing but good about these holsters and the brand.
 
If she's never worn an IWB holster, I would have her tuck the gun inside the waist band and go through her paces around the house for a couple days....see how she likes it.
While IWB may be the best way to conceal, not everyone finds it very comfortable.

Very true.I can't do it.
 
Check out High Noon Holsters, I carry in the Split Decision every day and it's great. Tuckable and non-tuckable options.
