Gear Review: DeSantis Women’s Thigh Hide Holster

By Sara Tipton

There are a lot of arguments against off-body carry for women. So-called “handbag carry” challenges the gun owner to keep strict control of her handbag/firearm at all times. To never, ever let the bag out of their sight. Then there’s the challenge of drawing the gun during an adrenaline dump, when fingers turn to flippers and nothing goes exactly as planned. ‘But I wear skirts and tight tops!’, well-armed women complain. How else can I carry? Enter the DeSantis Thigh Hide. Honestly? My hopes weren’t very high . . .

I’ve had little luck with thigh rigs. I find that thigh holsters have a tendency to slide down my leg. Even holsters with sticky strips (that meld to your leg and pull on the skin). Even thigh holsters that depend on garter belts begin to slip after only a few minutes of walking around. So when I opened the package from DeSantis I kind of smirked. “There’s no way in hell this thing is going to work,” I thought. I grabbed the Ruger LCP .380 and decided to give it a go.
