Belly Band Holster for Concealed Carry | Combat Veteran Owned Company |IWB Holster | Waist Band Handgun Carrying System | Hand Gun Elastic Holder for Pistols

I purchased this as an alternative rig for when a traditional belt-supported carry option was impractical; specifically, when wearing athletic clothes (e.g. elastic waist band sweats, running shorts, etc.). This is an ideal holster for those situations. The wide, heavyweight neoprene combines with the strong velcro closure for a very secure, comfortable carry. The wraparound, belly band allows for a wide range of carry positions. I find an above the waist band 2-o-clock position best for my purposes, but IWB, AIWB, cross-draw, etc are all quite feasible. Keep in mind any carry rig is a compromise between comfort, concealment, and accessibility. The belly band provides excellent comfort. I choose to compromise some concealment for accessibility by wearing it high 2-o-clock, but a deep concealment A/IWB is certainly an option if the trade off makes sense for your situation. Lot's of belly band reviews want to ding the holster design for these inherent tradeoffs, and that really doesn't make much sense.

Excellent band , made of quality materials . It feels very good , and doesn’t cause itching or rash .Securely carying a G30 ( sometimes extra mag) .Can be used with an undershirt or against skin. I prefer an undershirt for comfort and would not have to be washed as often.I decided to try a band holster after I started carrying full time while wearing casual clothes. Shorts, sweatpants, or lightweight workout shorts .The restraining elastic tab is nice to secure the pistol , but not necessary . If you prefer it can be just cut .This is my first belly band holster , as I’ve always used inside IWB or a paddle holster .This belly band offers flexibility in placement as it can be used for belly , hip, back ... all with just one holster . I think I would need another month or so to get completely comfortable with the concept having an IWB for 30+ years . The belly band has a nice feel and doesn’t need to be “readjusted “ and give away concealment , especially when standing up, or getting out of a car , or squatting to pick up grocery bag , etc .it feels very natural and depending on what you carry, i plan on switching to a lighter G42 and I already know this holster will be just amazingly more comfortable than the 5 lbs G30.

Okay so I'll try to make this review as concise as possible. I recently purchased my first pistol and am in the process of getting my CWP. I'm a smaller framed guy (5'6" 135 pounds) and wear basketball shorts 90% of the year. I wanted to find a holster that would not blatantly display that I'm carrying, while also allowing me the ability to conceal without having to wear jeans. I stumbled across this product - BINGO!PROS - 1.This product is versatile and can be worn in a variety of positions, allowing you to carry how you choose (hip, lower back, pelvis, etc)2. The holster is not at all uncomfortable, which was surprising to me. Even after wearing it for extended periods, I never noticed any chafing or irritation around my stomach/waist3. It is able to be worn with minimal printing: while there is a slight protrusion from my shirt, not many can tell that it is actually a pistol under my clothing4. It holds onto my compact 9 Sig Sauer P320 snugly and I feel comfortable not using the retention strap.CONS - The portion which covers the pistol barrel within the holster is extremely short. Half of the barrel sticks out the bottom when holstered. This creates a problem when drawing my weapon. My front sight post sometimes gets caught on the end of the fabric, making it impossible to pull free quickly. This is of course critical in a life or death situation. In order to counter this problem, I have to pull my weapon aggressively and straight up when drawing. Any deviation in angle wil cause it to get snagged. Since I've learned this tactic, I have not had the issue.2. The manufacturer should install a thicker and less maliable fabric around the trigger well. With enough force and pressure concentrated in the proper direction, it is possible for the trigger to be pulled while a firearm is in this holster. The chances of an accidental discharge with this holster are slim though. While this issue is not enough to make me get rid of the holster altogether, it is enough to make me aware of the slim possibility and act accordingly

[I have not received any payment or incentive of any kind to write this review. I paid full price for the product and I am keeping it for personal use.]I've had this holster for about two weeks, and here are my impressions so far:Quality: the band is well constructed. The seams and stitching have been done properly. I do not see any loose threads and the button has been securely fastened.Fit: it's an adjustable fit. Feels pretty good, and honestly I forget it's there sometime. If you live in a swamp/jungle, you might start to notice it getting a little bit warm, but it's been about 90 degrees here where I am, and I haven't had a problem. I probably wouldn't want to go for a jog with it, but you could if you wanted to; the item is very secure once on your waist. I just don't like to jog. Dont judge me.Design: i like the button design, rather than a hook or velcro. Velcro would probably make too much noise if you're trying to draw silently - and in an emergency situation a hook will get in the way if you're trying to draw in a semi panic. Honestly you might not even need the retainment strap - i tested this over two weeks with a full sized 1911 and a GLAWK brand GLAWK 19 (TM) and didn't have any issues. Both remained secure without an issue. I even hung from the ceiling with a chin up bar, and they didn't fall out. I did not try any front flips, however.This should be everyone's first concealed holster. I say this for two reasons - (1) you're probably not going to ever need another holster. It fits any pistol so there's not really a point, and (B) you can carry in any way you want. 3-oclock, cross draw, appendix carry.You should buy this holster.
