SH Recommendation ?

[WeeJ]

Looking for a good shoulder holster for a small lady (about 5'3") to carry an SP101 3" revolver, and a speed strip or two on opposite side. She is right handed, medium build. Miami Classic from Galco usually gets recommended - any alternatives ?

thanks

I've worn shoulder holsters of various designs for about forty years.

Make sure she tries it out. Reaching across the chest is an issue, and men who are barrel-chested and ladies who are, well, more "gifted" than others can have issues about getting a safe grip on the handgun.

Thanks, I didn't consider that. I've had the very same issue myself (long time since I used one - for that reason).

She looks about medium size - perhaps this is a good excuse to do some hands on research.

There are a couple of pretty good options here for the lady in your life. My wife lacks the "giftedness" to conceal a pistol with the flash bang holster, but the Marilyn has been excellent for her with her BG380. Lots of different guns covered with this line, retention was very secure, but easy enough for her to present the pistol for use.

A video reviewing the holster might be "helpful" for the rest of us

Flashbang is under consideration, but the consequences of an AD worry me.

Cover garments would not be necessary for the video to be effective.

Personally, I think if I was a bad guy and some chick I was robbing throws her shirt up, I'm probably not going to notice the gun pointed at me

Flashbang may be the kind of product that turns robbers into rapists

Yeah, that would ruin Saturday night.
