The belly band conceals well but just is hot as shit. The best thing I have found for consistent comfortable carry is to buy all my pants and shorts an inch bigger than normal so that way my IWB fits comfortably without printing. I generally carry a 4" Springfield in a DeSantis holster.
The wifeās.
Love these guns, fun to shoot. Both 9mm and easy to carry.
The wife has a carry purse.
At this time I am just carrying it in my back pack. But I dont do much but go to and from the gym to the clinic and back home.
Trying to find a holster that will accommodate the laser.

Iām forever pulling my pants up and shirt down like a fat girl at a titty bar. Iām also waiting for someone to see it at work, no policy but some bitch will say something.
Well itās only a concern if you carry one in the chamber and you donāt have a safety and you have a light trigger. That PPX has a great trigger, but no safety itās way to easy to have an accidental misfire with that pistol. As long as I have a safety, I carry locked and loaded. That extra 2 seconds youāre talking about can make a difference. Crimes tend to happen quickly. If you have a safety, I donāt see a problem with one in the chamber. But itās all preference. Whatever makes you most comfortable is what you should do.
Of course itās necessary that the safety is a good one an requires a definitive click to move it. If the safety has any chance of moving on itās own, thatās a gun I will probably get rid of.
I carry a revolver sometimes that doesnāt have a safety, of course, but the trigger isnāt easy to pull so I am not worried about that one.

I bought my current lady that exact gun. She absolutely loves her px4 Beretta 9mm. She held every single gun at the local gun shop and when she held that one immediately said, this is the one! I found it a bit odd, since she has very small hands and the grip was thicker than most. She shoots it like a champ though and even bugs me to go shooting with it, so she must like it.

Uncle Mikeās? Yeah their cheap, but they work and you can find one that will fit your gun and accessories pretty easily. Honestly, I have found it hard to justify paying a pretty penny for a holster when Uncle Mikeās has served me well. I carry IWB and never had a problem. They hold my guns correctly, they stay in place, they are comfortable and fit lasers.
If I started carrying OWB I would look at better holsters, but IWB I have been fine with good olā Uncle Mike.

Having your woman wanting to go shoot is a huge blessing. I make sure my wife always carries. I donāt always carry, but I make damn sure she does. I think all women who are not psychopaths should all carry.

I feel the same way. I had her take the advanced carry 1 and 2 classes after getting her concealed carry.
She is 5ā1 and that is being generous and all of 135lbs. I drove the point home by asking her how much of a chance did she think she stood against me trying to physically harm her. All these stupid fucking movies and femnazis displaying how women can physically manhandle and kick a manās ass is just horseshit and really gets on my nerves. Because it is not reality.
The gun and knowing how to use it evens that score.

My wife is 4ā11" and 130 pounds and she actually did the same thing with the Px storm. Grabbed it and was very comfortable. We go the range is she is spot on and loves to shoot it.
Picture for your rant

Ah so you like the tiny ladies too, good choice.
It surprised me as well how accurate she was the first time shooting it. And she had never shot a handgun before. Lol, the picture is perfect.
You guys are lucky with a lady that packs. Mine wants nothing to do with it. I get the āI donāt like gunsā thing. My wife runs with some of her girlfriends and I canāt even get her to carry the mace I bought her 3 years ago.
Shit, 2 people and 2 guns puts you at a better chance than one alone.

Honestly I like them in all shapes and sizes. But I officially retired from that game. Going on year 15 of marriage so I guess she is a keeper.
Yea I was also surprised but she is Latina so guns and knives come natural to them.

Few years ago while pumping gas the wife was confronted by a guy asking for change. Then he got aggressive, it made her realize the world is not all unicorns and rainbows and the cops are not always where you need them to be.

It has been my experience that women are almost always better first time shooters than men. They just naturally donāt manhandle it and torque the hell out of it when during the trigger pull.

Very true, she has shot just about every firearm I own (I have quite a few lol) and prefers her Beretta and the DEA issued rock river AR-15 that I have. She was hella accurate with the AR right out of the gates too, but she hunted a good bit with her dad, so she was more comfortable with rifles at first.

I am the same way, but somehow always end up with the curvy tiny ones =P. I would hope she is a keeper after 15 years of marriage lmao.
Have to watch those Latinas!
I was thinking of the 223 tactical or the bushmaster. Then i figure what the hey when the shit hits the fan i will just set back, let them come in about 600- 700 yards plink em off with the 7 m rem mag, then take what they have. I have the 357 revolver for the wife, and the lever action 357 marlin 1894 for my son. Home loads 117 grain hollows with 11.4 gram of powder .

Ow how right you are! I donāt know if you remember, about 8 months ago in PA a nut bag went to a Township meeting and shot the place up, killing 3 people. Well thatās where I live and I am a municipal official there. Thank God I was at another meeting that night. If I was there I would have been unarmed then, not now. Think about the possibilities if someone in the building was armed. Maybe a few innocent lives would have been saved.
