I like the way this man thinks.

Support, and exfoliation at the same time!

The survival Sheath holster is also mentioned on pg 113 of May/June 2005 AH. It might look hot with a P7 in it.

Does any body remember the scene in Woody Allens "Bananas" where the female guerilla is running through camp yelling "snake bite", "snake bite" and every one in the camp is chasing her to administer first aid. I am somehow reminded of that now.

Mumbleypeg, Sir,
NO! You have it all wrong! This is a rare opportunity to design for a unique tactical carry option. Success with said design applications is always foremost on our minds.

Honest...

Back to the engineering problem, it was the hard wire of the bra that broke thru and punctured skin, not a knife.
This bra has an underwire to hold the weight of a handgun. This is the rig that carries the gun to and from the gym, but there is no handgun in it while working out.
Cool, I'm now an expert in bra's converted to gun rigs.
It's amazing what ya can learn around here.

Until recently, that had been my learning curve too.

Ya know FS, one of the delights of the last couple of years writing and talking to you has been being exposed to the way you think.

I had a boss who was an engineer and the way he tackled a problem was a real eye opener. I've worked with a lot of lawyers and contracting officers and learned to appreciate (I think that's the right word ) the way they approach problems, or in the case of the latter create them. I've worked with a lot of sales guys, highly intuitive thinkers and creative problem solvers.

Never have I met anyone who thinks the way you do. It's... fascinating, yeah fascinating pretty much sums it up, to observe.

I've known plenty of folks who were able to "think outside the box", but you're the only person I know who would concern herself with making certain that the wrapping paper, on the box she was thinking outside of, was color coordinated with the bow, calculate whether a floral pattern on the paper would adversely impact sales to XYs, determine the efficacy and cost effectiveness of various bow tying methodologies, and just for fun calculate the tensile strength of the ribbon from which the bow will be tied and test it for color fastness.

You are unique. Don't ever change.

(Edited cuz I thought it was funnier this way.)

I think this will work.
1. Buy a bra made out stronger material.
2. Add dead weight to other side or add a knife with a utb carry option, this should balance the weight and provide equal amounts of weight on each side and reduce stress on one side and distribute it to 2 sides.

OR

Take the utb and replace the fang with a ring and sew a piece of cloth to the ring and a second piece of cloth to the sports bra or a regular bra.

If FS talks to the right people, she can get a gunholder of any type made from chainmail.
This will solve the fabric failure problem.

OK, Here is the metal working solution to FS's previous design/engineering problem.
Who said craftsmanship is dead?
