For me, on-body carry offers the greatest level of control over my firearm. It keeps my firearm attached to me rather than in a bag that could be left behind, set down, or become the target of a theft. Of course, every carry method comes with advantages and trade-offs, and the best choice is the one that fits your lifestyle while allowing you to carry safely and consistently.

Finding a Comfortable On-Body Carry Solution
If you've ever searched for the perfect holster or carry position, you know it can be frustrating. What feels comfortable for one person may be completely uncomfortable for another.
Women's clothing doesn't always make concealed carry easy. Different outfits, fitted clothing, dresses, athletic wear, seasonal layers, and body shape all influence how well a firearm conceals and how comfortable it feels throughout the day.

That's why it's important to keep an open mind.

Why I Changed My Mind
Recently, I decided to revisit an on-body carry option that I had ruled out in the past. The first time I tried it, I wasn't impressed. It wasn't comfortable, and I quickly decided it just wasn't for me.
This time was different.

Whether it was more experience, a better understanding of proper fit, or simply giving it another honest chance, I found myself seeing this carry option in a completely new light. It reminded me that our needs and preferences change over time. Sometimes it's not the carry position that's the problem—it may be the holster, your clothing, your belt, or even your expectations.

Don't Be Afraid to Experiment
One of the best pieces of advice I can give women who carry is this: don't stop looking for what works best for you.
Try different holsters. Experiment with different carry positions. Wear your setup around the house (while following all firearm safety practices) to see how it feels throughout your day. What doesn't work today may become your favorite setup tomorrow.

The goal isn't to carry the way someone else does. The goal is to find a method that allows you to carry safely, comfortably, confidently, and consistently.
