I ordered the Flashbang for my Colt Mustang. I don't know if I just don't have the right bra, or haven't found the right combination with the straps, but it either pinches the "girls" every time I move, or the butt of the gun comes loose and pokes straight out. Great concept, but I've not had much luck with it.

With a gun that small, it may very well be the bra. When I use it with the glock 26, it does take a little more "fidgiting" to get it in the right place, and it gets heavy, but the LCP just dissapears.

With apologies to the guys(just skip this part!)--you need a well fitted, underwire bra. And not a cheap one!--go to Dillards or somewhere(I found the Wacol to be the best) and get a fitting done. The bra is essentially part of the holster itself. Because the flashbang uses the structure of the bra for support--if the bra can't support itself, it can't support the gun! Get one that fits flat to the chest between the girls--3 hook are the best. Also ones with padded straps to absorb the added weight of the gun-but at least the wider straps. There are 2 ways you can attach the straps to carry it either high or low--go to the Well Armed Woman site for the video that shows the difference. All the same things apply for the Marilyn model which works like a shoulder holster-but uses the structure of the bra instead of adding additional straps. I also like the Betty for an IWB

Bob, yes, I did. A couple of times. Not much response.I actually contacted them the day I received it because I understood that you get 3 different size straps. I received one long one and two of the same size shorter ones. No response there either.

And Mary, I do have a bra like the one you described. Just going to have to keep working with it. I want to make it work before I spend money on another one to fit my next gun purchase :lol:

Until you can get new straps(call again--I haven't had any trouble with them--but I do know they have been swamped!!), you can punch extra holes in the long one

:tiphat:
I saw these on the news, a while back, and rushed into the other room to tell my wife about it. I could tell my description wasn’t getting through to her, so I picked up my grandson’s airsoft pistol and placed it across my chest and said “Now imagine b_ _bies”.

It was three days before she could look at me without bustin’ out in laughter.

I’ve ordered her one for her B-Day. We’ll see how well she likes it.
