The fastest growing market segment in the firearms industry is women. Changes in laws recognizing the right to carry concealed have expanded the number of women carrying handguns across the country. We took a look at the market and what ladies are carrying and put together this list for your consideration.

Most people find that Inside the Waist Band  holsters provide the best concealment.  These guns are all particularly suited for self defense on body carry and concealment.
