Women carrying concealed
My daughter is a property manager at a 110 unit apartment complex. She currently carries a glock 27 in her purse. This new apartment complex however is a real hole, about 50% refugees living on the governments dime, another big chunk receiving benefits because of mental health problems, heroin addicts sleeping under the bushes, homeless digging through the dumpsters, etc. She told me she thinks carrying the purse actually makes her more of a target and she can't carry it all the time anyway. She is looking for ideas for concealed carry for a slender woman or non firearm protection she could carry in a pocket. Would appreciate any ideas you might have.

Go in twos, one of which is 6 foot six and mean looking.
Also Self Defense Keychain Alarm Emergency as shown on auction sites
An example, but cheaper ones are available

Spousal unit has a few items from here. Lets her carry and still dress like a chick.

SYN that looks like just the type of thing she was looking for. Thanks!

What kind of attire? If she dresses casual, then a standard IWB may do, if more business like, or feminine, then maybe a belly type, with a longer shirt of course:

Or maybe something with a holster built in:

Find a larger gun shop that specializes in concealed carry. They should have some experience in helping her with this. most will allow her to try the different styles. IWB for ladies can be a problem A hip holster requires a cover garment all the time. same with a shoulder rig. A belly band holster ( ace bandage with pocket stitched in ) may work for her. Unfortunately this may require a smaller sized handgun for her to do also. An ankle holster might be an option but your off balanced when drawing. There are day planners with a holster built in that might not look out of place for her, but again its something she has to carry, and keep track of.
I would take her to several local shops for help and to look at different options.

Daughter in Houston got same kinda deal working working with realtors to collect rent. Those sec. 8 places are the pits. As a gal, she is automatically a target, needs to get duty transferred to a guy or minimum guy escort to/from office. Open carry a BIG can of wasp spray? Problem is, unless you can prove a real attack, defense is pretty difficult - or explained differently, what is a real threat or just harassment? Open carry firearm and wasp spray when out of the office? Friend's wife carries a gutter spike with a handle in her purse - she does have LTC. Like all that situation attacks, fast draw is required. Didn't realize Oro Valley was that bad now.

She just popped in for a second and thought some of the suggestions looked awesome. Thanks. I would have no problem getting her another smaller gun, then maybe I'd have a 10% chance of getting my glock 27 back.

body physique will depend a lot on how and where she can carry. I'd stay with 9mm as minimum caliber, (my humble suggestion)
something single stack would be slimmer and easier to carry.
-
It's a h*** of a lot easy to conceal a single stack versus a double stack

I use a brave response iwb holster (braveresponse.com). It has an elastic band that goes around your waist, so it is not supported by your clothing. Similar to the holster in the first photo in Omega's post.
A disclaimer, I am not a woman, and am not shaped anything like the women in the photos (more like short fat and old).
Hope this helps.

A Rottweiler would be my choice

I kind of prefer the option the English used in Africa
have someone carry a big rifle for you until its needed.

A P380 and a Sneaky Pete Holster. Looks like a cell phone case on your belt.

Sounds like she needs a new job! Kinda hard to conceal anything beltfed!
Sorry, checked this thread for my daughter some suggestions, she is in a dream position comparatively,, wow!

The new Browning 1911 black label in 380 is small thin would conceal very well

Starbits,
My wife carries a kel-tec .380 in a bra holster.

Along with a Glock 42 IWB.
The Flashbang holster is undetectable and as fast or faster on the draw than IWB.
