Re: Carrying a firearm as a woman in South Africa? - A Women's Month Message
I also carry a CZ75 with me everyday, but will be moving over to the P10C the moment the budget allows for it.
My wife is in the position to EDC her SP01 shadow around the house, but mostly carries her P07 when going out.
Something BIG and heavy is likely to stay in the safe and not by your side.
My suggestion would be to get something small and concealable, like Helkitty says. I would seriously give her a call and have a good chat with her. She knows her stuff (and can shoot pretty damn well....)

Re: Carrying a firearm as a woman in South Africa? - A Women's Month Message
Well i did not mean it like its a hand cannon lol. I really like the beretta and will stick with it. Nothing worth achieving is easy, it takes dedication and perceverance.
CZ75 is a nice model, my brother had one, really nice to shoot with.
The shotty stays in the safe, but is ready when serious fire power is required if my castle is under siege.
I also sourced 2 x 30 round magazines for the beretta to keep potential besiegers occupied.
Between the 2 standard magazines and the 30 round magazines there are 90 rounds available.

Very well written, I believe many a man can learn from your article as well. Gave it to my wife to read as she only recently, as in a week ago, started edc. She still struggle with holster choices but it for her to work out.

Re: Carrying a firearm as a woman in South Africa? - A Women's Month Message
I have been carrying the beretta the last 2 days and its not bad.
The holster is nice (Fobus BR-2) It has a curved part that fits over your hip and a soft silicon type inside.
Tested the 30 round magazines this weekend at the shooting range with carry ammo and it performed flawlessly :)
Happy over all with everything.
Have a small case that I want to fit out with foam rubber and compile a kit consisting of the beretta, 4 magazines, ammunition, uplula, cleaning kit, ear plugs etc.
Easy to take to shooting range :)

You right, im carrying as much as possible, only had beretta for 3 months now, getting in the habit :)
The 30 round magazines is mostly for the shooting range, I do not use them when carrying the beretta.
The beretta is in the top drawer right beside my bed every night.
