I'll share in my experience...
I live in Virginia, where anyone over 18 can carry a weapon openly (albeit in a non-threatening manner) without a license. Anyone 21 and over can apply for a shall-issue license that allows them to carry anywhere except churches, government buildings, and establishments that serve alcohol (although you can open carry in a bar).
I've had a CCL for two years. I started with an XD-45 4", switched to an XD-9 5", and then got tired of a fullsize and switched to a Kimber 1911 compact carry. While I went from a magazine capacity of 16+1 to 8+1, I am much more comfortable carrying the .45 ACP. I also like the single-stack magazine. I compensate by carrying four magazines instead of two.
Beyond being trained by the Marine Corps (maintain multiple expert qualifications, I've also taken and passed defensive handgun courses (I highly recommend Front Sight's [of Las Vegas, NV] 4 Day Defensive Handgun Course). I consider myself always in the yellow/orange color code when outside the house and carrying my weapon. I am prepared to use it in a defensive manner to protect the life of myself or my wife.
Being a left-hander, I usually have to dig for good holsters. My favorite is a paddle-style carbon-injected holster, but isn't concealed under anything short of a 3/4 coat or XXL hoodie. For the 1911 an IWB leather holster is my rig of choice. Anyone interested in talking more about carrying concealed can hit me up for a discussion!
Peace. :-D

said by cowboyro :Personally I think that a G23 is a bit big and heavy for a small person (I own a G23). Maybe look into something smaller... I totally agree.
Try the Glock 26 (9mm) 'baby Glock' -- you will fall in love & trade the 23 for it. If your hand is too big (does not seem like it will be), and your pinky does not fit on the grip, they sell a cool little extender piece that screws onto the bottom of the grip so your pinky rests on it, perfect.
or the Glock 27 is the baby Glock in .40 caliber. |

Re: Women's Concealed Carry
I would suggest this:
»www.usconcealedcarry.com/
You can sign up for the email newsletters. They come every day, but always worth the time to read. I just filter them to their own folder and read a bunch at once when I have the time.
Lots of information on various holsters and such, plus lots more.
Finally, I would suggest that you take some "combat handgunning" classes. They teach you to move and shoot at the same time, which is very important. Most people think that firing a few rounds at the range once a month is all the training they need...not true.
I am sure your husband can help you out with this...

I tote a 1911 around. It's profile is thin and I can hide it very easy.
I've tried quite a few of my handguns for daily carry, but I always go back to my little Rock and the Galco.

I'm pretty sure I'll have more holsters than I do shoes... and that's saying something! 
Most of my husband's duty gear is Galco, and we've never had to replace it...
What do you carry? I love my G 23, but I am kinda wishing I would have gone with the 27, just for conceal-ability.

You're going to end up with a whole dresser full of holsters!
You can't go wrong with a Galco. I love my IWB from them. it's easy to wear all day and it's TOUGH. I got it just over a year ago and it's still in one piece. Absolutely great leather.

said by removed :So, have you decided on a carry solution yet? I carry my Glock 23 in an inside-wasitband holster between 3:00 and 4:00, and it's worked great for me thus far. Galco has an entire section of their website for women's holsters! Got some good ideas there... although I still think the local tactical store should offer fitting rooms and an on-staff female consultant!
I've tried on several holsters... and have pretty much decided that (as long as I buy shirts in a size Small instead of XS) a leather SOB holster OR an Inside-Waistband holster (probably between 4:00 and 5:00-- seems to fit my curves better) are going to be my best options. They will also work when I'm wearing skirts, as long as the material is stiff enough to hold the holster without a belt.
For more formal occasions... when I would be wearing a dress, I have a summer option and a winter option. In the Summer, I will have to use a concealed carry purse... too hot for a sweater and shoulder holster. In the winter, the shoulder holster with a coat should work!
That's probably more fashion info than you ever cared to stomach, but between women's fashion and women's curves... female options are WAY different!
My biggest goal is to have a lot of different options, since I have a lot of different types of outfits. I'll have to treat my holstering methods like my other accessories... different shoes and purses for different outfits, different holster for different outfits!

said by Hayward :And again jou scrwny and they could be a NFL Tackle... and no witnesses at least none that will talk... guess what happens. I don't think a lot of people see a big guy walking down the street and shoot him just because there are no witnesses. It's been mentioned numerous times that deadly force is not justifiable just because someone looks tough... Everyone who carries a concealed weapon is aware of this. 
said by Hayward :Not that I wouldd maybe not chose to defend myself, but my FIRST CHOICE would be to live somewhere else I didn't need to worry about it. There's no such thing as "no need to worry about it". All police departments have "goals" for response times. The police departments that serve my area have a 5 minutes "goal" for Code 1 (violent crimes/felonies-in-progress) calls. I would much rather fend for myself rather than waiting up to 5 minutes for help, when I need help immediately.

You're not making any sense. Did you even read any of the text I linked to?
quote:
»licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/weapon···nse.html
Q. What if someone uses threatening language to me so that I am afraid for my life or safety?
A. Verbal threats are not enough to justify the use of deadly force. There must be an overt act by the person which indicates that he immediately intends to carry out the threat. The person threatened must reasonably believe that he will be killed or suffer serious bodily harm if he does not immediately take the life of his adversary.
If that didn't sum it up for you, I don't know what will.

said by Hayward :Well I think AZ (or some state is about too) Being able to carry in a bar does not make it legal to be drunk while carrying a concealed handgun. I go to bars (without my gun, of course, since that's illegal here  ) on a somewhat regular basis, but am never drunk.
said by Hayward :No real reason, but any reasonably threat even if not another gun you are free to blow anyone "personally" threatening in any way is perfectly legal in FL and has been for several years. (YES YOU MIGHT NEAD TO PROVE A DEADLY THREAT, BUT AGAIN BIG BURLY GUY AND SMALL WOMAN WOULD LIKELY BE NO ISSUE, especially unwitnessed threat real or not) This is 100% false. You can't "blow away" someone for getting into a verbal (or even physical) confrontation. Please read your state's laws concerning justifiable deadly force and let us know what you've learned.

Texas doesn't, and neither does your state.
