Gun ownership is on the rise for American women. Concealed carry experts recommend carrying your weapon on your body at all times for self-defense.

This recommendation rules out purses, handbags and ankle holsters unless you only wear loose pants. Carrying in a bag can be a suboptimal choice for some people: if you have to be separated from you bag, or it gets lost/stolen, you’d have the headache of a missing bag and the horror of a missing firearm. Thus, women who want to concealed carry more effectively will have to find another option. In this case, we’re going to be looking at pants that are specifically designed for women who want to concealed carry a firearm.

Popular CCW Options For Women

The two most popular locations for ladies are inside the waistband (IWB), outside the waistband (OWB).These locations are easy to reach quickly and make it harder for an attacker to take your weapon.

However, these safety rules create a challenge for the carrywear industry.Most carrywear is designed to fit a man’s body, and many are of a distinctly utilitarian style that some women might not find appealing. This means that in both cut and fashion, men’s pants really won’t fit the bill for women’s concealed carrying.

Women on average have wider hips and shorter torsos than men. Moreover, wide hips cause the gun to tilt sideways and may cause gun prints on your clothes.

These two facts mean women need special accessories to carry their weapons without sacrificing safety, comfort, and concealment. In the last couple of years, there has been a steady rise in carrywear products marketed to women.

For your convenience, we’ve compiled a top 10 list of concealed carry pants. Taking a look at our list, we hope you can find something that fits your needs and makes some fashion sense as well.
