    Looking For Female OWB Holster Suggestions

    My wife carries a G43 in her gunpurse, and another in small fanny pack while hiking and exercising outdoors. We're taking a training class soon and I want to surprise her with an OWB holster for the class.

    I've tried to convince her for years to switch to an on-body holster, but she's curvy enough the "high and tight" way that typical holsters fit force the grip of the gun into her ribcage. She also rarely wears a belt. I'd appreciate feedback on holsters you or someone you know have used that are designed for a woman's shape and are comfortable to wear, secure and well built. I'd prefer to avoid buying a drawer full of holsters for her as well! [emoji6]
    Thanks!

    A lot of holster makers offer a Dropped Offset option with their OWB holsters. This is a particularly good solution for the problem you mention. I have used Blade Tech holsters with the DOS adaptor and thought it was a good piece of kit.

    This one was just mentioned in a Marcus Wynne book I was reading:
    Kramer Leather - Women's Belt Scabbard

    Tony has been good about answering holster fit questions

    No specific models, but all the curvy women I know use and prefer some sort of paddle holster that moves the gun away from the body -- more curves means you want more stand-off. Look for duty holsters rather than concealment holsters. I've seen reviews of the Alien Gear Shapeshifter paddle module that complain about how far out they stick (but have no experience with them).

    I don't know anyone who's used it, but I just noticed Aholster offers a women's specific version of their belt holster. They show the G43 on their list.
