Flashbang Bra Holster, Preliminary review

So I just received the Flasbang in the mail about an hour ago. So far, I really like it. I am not going to do my regular review format until I have had the chance to wear it for a few days, to be fair to the other reviews I give, but since there has been so much anticipation for this review, I wanted to give some up front comments.

First off, one reason so many of my readers are eager to hear my review is that I am not a size 5. Many of the ladies who have reviewed the Flashbang and most of the models in the pictures and videos (not counting the gorgeous Lisa at 8 months pregnant and glowing) are beautifully thin women with great athletic bodies. I; however, am a fuller figured girl. Not exactly plus sized, but not far from it.

Of course,  when I opened the package I ran to my closet with my camera to show you fine folks what it looked like. I have never seen the "Pull The Dot" snaps used on this puppy, and thought I was losing my mind, but thankfully, Lisa posted a video on her Facebook page explaining that you have to pull them a certain way. Thanks so much for that added security, Lisa, I love it!!

I have pictures with two tops. The first one is a tight tank, I like the layered look as I have been told it makes me look thinner (Yay!) and here it is

I am wearing an underwire bra and have my Ruger LCP with Crimson Trace in the flashbang here.

The next top, is a cute little thermal looking top I got at Cavenders this weekend and I chose it because it is quite see through

As you can see, you can see the leather strap that attaches the Flashbang through the shirt material but the holster itself and the pistol are unseen.

On a side note, why does the camera pointed at us automatically make us go into that "weight-on-one leg, hands-on-the-hip" pose? Both pictures. What the What? I don't know. I'll try to stop that. Anyway, back to the holster.

I will tell you that having it there makes me feel like I need to sit up straight, not a bad thing. My grandma would be happy that I am sitting up straight while I type this. I don't know what it is, it just promotes good posture. Chiropractors everywhere will love this, hehehe. 

I think the biggest question from larger women everywhere has been, "Will the grip of the pistol dig into my belly, especially when sitting?" So far my answer is no. Maybe that's part of the reason I feel like sitting up straighter, but even slouching a little (yes, Grandma, I slouched on purpose) it's not digging in. It does take a minute to adjust it how you want it and get used to it. I mean ESPECIALLY if you wear an underwire.

Another question was, "Will it make one of them look bigger than the other?" As all women know, most of us are a little lopsided anyway. If you look closely, you will see that I am a little bigger on the right than the left. That is NOT because of the Flashbang, it's on the OTHER side. I am right handed so the Flashbang is under my left breast. I am just bigger on the right, always have been.

So far, comfort is good, taking some getting used to, as with any new holster, you know it's there for the first day or two. Part of that, I think, especially with concealed carry is that nagging, "Can anyone see it?" But after a while we get used to it and don't know it's there anymore. I've had it on for about an hour and it's really not so bad. I kept it on while changing clothes, put on and off my coat and fixed lunch for the little ones. It was not in the way. And, unlike an IWB or pouch type holster, you don't have to worry about what to do with it when you go to the bathroom.

So, as of now, the Flashbang is a hit! I will post next week after I have worn it a few days and let you know what I think! Please feel free to ask any questions!

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!!
