What Women Who Carry Are Saying
Holsters for Women FAQs
What is the best holster for women?
The best holster for women depends on your firearm, body type, and how you dress, since one carry style rarely covers every outfit. For daily wear, the Sof-Tuck 2.0 and Slim-Tuk are comfortable IWB options. For dresses, skirts, and athletic wear, the [LINK: Inside Heat needs URL] and [LINK: Pro Stealth needs URL] use a spring-style clip that holds securely without a belt, which frees up your dressing options. Our guide to the best female concealed carry options walks through matching a holster to your wardrobe.
What carry styles work best for women?
Women carry successfully with IWB, OWB, pocket, ankle, cross-draw, shoulder holster, and off-body methods, and the right one comes down to your clothing and comfort. An IWB holster like the Sof-Tuck 2.0 conceals well under a shirt, the Criss-Cross sets up as a cross-draw for seated access, and a bra holster, belly band, or purse carry covers outfits where a waistband holster will not work. Many women keep two setups to match different clothing.
Are these holsters molded to fit specific handguns?
Most DeSantis women's holsters are molded to fit specific compact and subcompact handguns, including popular Smith & Wesson and Sig P models, with full trigger guard coverage. A soft, non-molded female gun holster like a belly band fits a wider range of small firearms. Each product page lists exact gun fits before checkout.
How do I keep a holster comfortable and concealed?
Comfort comes from matching the holster to your body shape, choosing the right carry position, and pairing an IWB holster with a supportive gun belt. A soft lining and adjustable retention keep the firearm secure without digging in through the day. For off-body carry, look for a dedicated compartment or carry purse that keeps the gun separate from other items for quick access.
Do DeSantis holsters for women come in right-hand and left-hand draw?
Many DeSantis holsters for women are offered in right-hand and left-hand draw, and some, like the Slim-Tuk, are ambidextrous. Draw orientation and fit are listed on each product page. For help finding the right holster, visit our FAQ page or contact us directly.
