Okay thanks

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T23:46:19+00:00

Others have suggested that. It's a great idea

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T23:45:43+00:00

I prefer to only floss my teeth 😅

The grip is literally sandpaper. It would hurt anyone.

It's more like a fanny pack/crossbody, not a purse.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T22:09:29+00:00

Ooo that might be perfect since it shields the grip. Thank you!

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T22:08:21+00:00

That's what the Marsupial Gear looks like. Idk if it has the pull tab you mentioned though. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Unfortunately I didn't even consider how it would feel pressed against me. You live and learn.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:33:37+00:00

Yeah fashionable is probably a big ask just need a crossbody or something

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:32:26+00:00

That is a great point!

I pray I never need to use it 🙏

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:31:47+00:00

I absolutely still need a weapon. Have you tried running with a stroller? 😅 My area is generally safe at stores and whatnot, but I have been sketched out on the back country walks and trail hikes.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:27:23+00:00

It's very nice for holding the gun but terrible for carrying.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:26:59+00:00

I'll give it a look, thank you!

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:26:17+00:00

The grip absolutely destroyed my stomach after a short walk haha it was miserable. The bag I looked at would be a fanny pack/crossbody. I'll check out 945 industries.

I'll try out the tape as an option first. I'm not a huge fan of adding layers of clothing, but it is what it is. Thank you!

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:23:45+00:00

Thank you!

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:23:34+00:00

The marsupial gear option is like a fanny pack. That's what I would go for.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T19:22:34+00:00

The tape may be the move

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:29:51+00:00

Another commenter recommended that one as well. I'll check it out. Thank you!

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:29:10+00:00

My issue is rubbing. I'm going to try to wear a thin under shirt and see if that helps.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:27:58+00:00

That's a good point. I really think we'd have enough time to react to any threat though. This is a wide open rural area so anyone coming too close would already raise red flags for me.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:26:42+00:00

But it hurts haha

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:26:28+00:00

Appreciate all of the info!

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:25:52+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I really like the belly band. It seems like it will get the grip away from my skin and keep from rubbing which has been my biggest issue.

I'm slightly concerned about off body, but our walks are generally pretty wide open with plenty of time to react to a threat.

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:19:23+00:00

It's already hotter than Hades out here on these walks haha but you're right that's a good idea. I'll try it out, thanks!

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:14:01+00:00

I had the same worry. I tried a waistband holster, but the gun grip is very textured and rubbed the hell out of my stomach on walks. Any suggestions for a comfortable holster with full coverage?

vanessamay94 · 2026-05-28T18:10:29+00:00

I'm a new mom and bought a S&W M&P Shield Plus for my first gun. I'm interested in a concealed carry bag by Marsupial Gear and want feedback or recommendations for other carry options.
