Why wouldn't the safariland work? Is it a thigh rig? Retention holsters are fine, as long as they aren't thigh rigs.

Most folks would look at it and say it is a thigh rig. In reality, the holster is just a low-hanging belt with a leg "stabilization" strap. I ain't to worried about it.

There are several of us ladies who shoot these matches regularly. Bring your wife! One thing about the guys (and ladies) who shoot the ENPS matches at ENGC -- they do NOT make women feel intimidated. We all want more shooters, and we love having more ladies shoot. I LOVE being a female shooter at our matches in this "male dominated" environment - all the guys treat us with respect and are usually going out of their way to be kind, helpful, etc.

That's what I've been telling my wife. Lots of women shoot these matches.
and usually beat me
That's one nice thing about shooting sports, especially handgun shooting. Physical strength isn't nearly as much of a factor as other sports. Skill is MUCH more important.

I'd offer this to anyone whose wife is hesitant to come out: Contact me personally and I'll make sure you are on a squad with other females. If you don't feel comfortable enough shooting to shoot a match, contact me and I'll take you to the range to help you GET comfortable. This is an offer from ME - not from our shooting classes. While I think everyone should take all of our classes, I understand the discomfort of being a new female shooter. I'd gladly spend a couple of hours with any female to help her get more comfortable so that she can join us for the matches! :)
