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

The Good: - The holster fits comfortably around the waist - The Velcro allows it to be easily adjusted if one wants it to fit higher or lower on the body - Small to compact frame pistols are hidden easily - There is a holder for an extra magazine, pocket knife, etc. - It pushes in one's stomach a bit, acting like a corset, so pants can fit better even with a pistol inside the waistband - The button strap holds the firearm in very well, meaning it is quite difficult for someone to try to take it off one's person The Bad - Larger frame pistols (an H&K VP40 for example) are a bit obvious if only a T-shirt is covering the holster; additional clothing/a jacket is required to be completely inconspicuous. *Inconspicuousness is necessary in a blue state, such as CT, where owning a firearm is tantamount to being a criminal in some people's eyes - If the button on the strap is underneath one's waistband, it takes a second or two more to unsnap it and get the firearm freed. Overall, a good holster. Far more comfortable than one's I've had in the past, and it allows me to carry and therefore feel safe when I work in higher-crime areas.

The materials are great! I work for a security and money transportation company and decided to try it out one day while I was working in house. My coworkers did not think I was armed at all until I lifted my shirt to show them I was. The band is comfortable and does not pinch the skin, it is well made and I can tell it is going to last. I am 6’2 230lbs, I don’t have a beer belly, but still have your average dad bod, and have a 34” waist. I probably should have gone with the normal size instead of the XL, but the XL gives me more material to work with in case in the future I do get bigger like I was a few years ago. If you are active while you are wearing it…you will sweat like crazy where it is…that is to be expected though. I really have zero complaints, but rather a couple design improvements or suggestion for another variant. I tried all positions while wearing it, appendix, right and 5-6 o’clock. I find it most comfortable at the 5-6 o’clock. I would like to see the option for a magazine pocket to be towards your off hand side, because unless you are carrying appendix the mag pocket is useless. You aren’t going to want to reach across your body to grab your spare mag to reload. I also would like a way I can carry horizontally across the chest…would make a draw easier if choosing to carry in front and higher. Otherwise it is a great product and would highly recommend! It even works with me having a RDS on my firearm. (Springfield XDS mod 2 with Crimson trace RDS and 4” barrel) this holster I also do NOT believe will work if you have a flashlight mounted regardless of weapon choice. I am very pleased with the product and enjoy supporting a veteran owned business as a veteran myself. Also want to give props for the personal hand written letter and expedited shipping. Few companies take the time to hand write a letter thanking you for your support and I believe it is the little things like that that make a difference.

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/waist 3. 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 clothing 4. 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
