I use a belly band for the few times im running to the store in shorts or sweats.

This was the same issue I had. Tried all the straps, different bras, tightened things, loosened things. . . . .to be fair, I'm on a diet. And my body size is changing faster than I am changing my actual wardrobe. When I hit my target weight and get better fitting undergarments, I'll try it again. For now, I'm comfortable with the holster I'm using, and it's on body, so I'm happy.

I ended up purchasing a Remora since the Flashbang doesn't make a holster for the Bersa cc anyway.

OldCannon, I would probably be interested in that flashbang/diamondback at a later date. Keep my name in mind and let me know if you have it in a few months.

TLynnHughes, how do you like that P238? Is it fairly wasy to be accurate with it?

I can tell you I can be just as accurate with my P238 as I can with my 9c - everything in the A zone at Self Defense distances ( 10 - 15 yards max) With a little practice and taking my time I have had all in the target zone at up to 25 yards. I love my P238! I am seriously considering the 938 just to have a little more punch - but I definitely want to try one before I buy if possible.

I love the Remora holsters but I haven't used one extensively. They have excellent customer service too!

As for the P238...I bought my first one a couple of years ago and I love it. They have a good trigger, almost no recoil and they're extremely accurate for a small gun. I loved mine so much in fact that I bought a second one just to wear in the Flashbang. Recently at one of our Girls Nights Out, two of the ladies rented an LCP, a bodyguard and a Bersa to compare side by side with my P238. The next week they both bought the P238. I highly recommend the extended magazine. Sig also makes the same gun in a 9mm called the P938 but I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet. :)

I have 2 of the flashbangs--one for a glock 26 & one for an LCP. Both work well, but for comfort, the LCP works better. After awhile, the 26 got "heavy". I will tell you that it does require a GOOD foundation garment(no WM cheapies). Think of it the same way you would a gun belt--it takes a good belt to hold the holster.
I don't wear it a lot--but that has more to do with the LCP being my least favorite gun than the holster.
