Frequently Asked Questions

What firearm does the instructor recommend for concealed carry as a woman?

The instructor recommends the Sig Sauer P365 XL for concealed carry. She also suggests considering a red dot sight for improved accuracy and target acquisition, while keeping the rest of the firearm stock.

What are the key features of a safe and effective concealed carry holster?

A safe holster must stay open on its own for easy and safe re-holstering, preventing accidental contact with the trigger. It also needs a solid trigger guard specifically molded for your firearm model.

Improving concealment involves using layering techniques with different textures and patterns to break up the firearm's outline. Compression garments like tummy-control pants or tighter tank tops can also help manage the profile.
