Has anyone used the Marilyn Hoster from Looper? What are your thoughts? I currently am carrying in my purse, I know not the best option but better than nothing right? I know everyone prefers different holsters and places of carry due to physical differences but was wondering what your thoughts are. I'm 5'10", 155lb, and a 34B if that helps. Appendix carry may be a bit tricky for me as I've had multiple surgeries that have left scars and it hurts even when certain pants waist bands ride there. Thanks for any feedback you have.

Well I see nobody has responded (I figure no one has had one yet) so I just ordered both the Marilyn & the Flash Bang. ...when in doubt get both right?! If I don't like one or both I'll just throw them up on EE for someone else to check out. I believe the Marilyn is new and was just released at the Las Vegas 2012 gun show. I'll put up a review when I get it in and keep you all informed on how it goes.

I hope you have better luck with the flashbang then I did. I could not get it to stay put. It would slip down and the grip would stick out.

Excited to hear your review of the Marilyn.

I got an e-mail, my order should be here in another 1-2 weeks. Didn't want you to think I forgot to give my opinions and review on the two holsters.

Didn't see this thread earlier and all I can say is I hope it works for you.

I looked at their website and it would seem I don't own a gun small enough for that type of holster.

I received both of them in the time frame promised. The Marilyn . . . well I think you have to have very LARGE boobs to make that even remotely possible. I'm talking Dolly Parton big. It was so completely obvious there wasn't even a question as to what was making my chest look funny. And that was with the little LCP! The Flash Bang was a little less obvious but it kept falling down - and there was just something about the barrel of my gun pressed into my boob that was a little more than uncomfortable. I did try to wear the Flash Bang around the house to try and get use to it and see if there were certain positions that would make it better for a few days –– nope, nothing. I was pretty disappointed. As we all know holsters are anything but cheap so I contacted Looper and asked them if they accept returns. I was shocked when they told me to mail them back for a full refund. They have fantastic customer service, but the holsters didn't work for me. So - my search continues.

Glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with the flashbang. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

The Marilyn was horrible.... -RJ- doesn't have big boobs but man, she might as well have been open carrying. The grip was actually sticking out past the boob and jutting out through the shirt. It was bad. I tried to help her adjust it around and it was just not working. I would bet that even if someone were well endowed, they would need to wear something a bit loose over that holster.

I'm trying to talk her into trying a Crossbreed microclip with that LCP. That pistol is so small.... She must be able to hide it somewhere!

+1 for Crossbreed. We have a couple SuperTucks and we LOVE them. It is such a great holster.

I use a SuperTuck for my G26. It is a great holster!

That Marilyn just doesn't look like it could work even with big boobs. My roomie has been using the Crossbreed which is the best she's found so far but still not ideal. My problem is it's hot here, like Africa hot and I wear shorts 7-8 months out of the year and they are beltless so no holster will work that I've found. Hmmm...maybe a holster with suction cups, I can just stick it to myself wherever lol.

I just ordered a CrossBreed Micro Clip. We will see how that works. I'm in Missouri - and it's been like Death Valley here this year too!

I received my CrossBreed in the mail ––- I ordered the horsehide, microclip. It not only disappears to the eye but you can hardly feel it! I give it 2 thumbs up & would recommended it! I'm a HAPPY girl with it!
