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

Excellent product delivered on time

Holds my 380 perfectly. It’s comfortable and well made. The only thing I would change is the Velcro part. I wish it was a little smaller then the belt width. Because if it’s not lined up just right the Velcro scratches my stomach.

Great fit and stays snug while wearing for many hours. Pistol storage is snug and keeps the weapon close to the body. Depending on where you position your pistol, like the hip or kidney, sometimes if you use the clip storage the clip end tends to poke out and is noticeable unless the shirt is very loose.Great product and a veteran-owned business which I am happy to support.

I purchased this holster to carry small automatic/revolver (shield/G43/j-frame) type pistol. I am 5'10", 208 lbs, wear 33" jeans, and I find the belly band comfortable in most situations. It took me a week or so, trying different heights and positions of the band to find the "right" spot. Too high and it prints real bad, too low and sitting is painful, shifted too far right and printing is an issue again. I found that for me, pistol right about the 12:30 position, with grip just above the waistband was fairly comfortable both standing and sitting while still allowing a decent grip to draw pistol. This still printed a little if body movements were just right, but overall could not be seen. I found (4) negatives (not necessarily in order of importance). First, the pistol/magazine retention, if used in the position that I wear it, make drawing pistol/magazines impossible without unbuttoning pants. To fix this, I don't use the retention straps. I'm 53 and running has never been a huge part of my life, so why start now. Not using the retention straps while walking around, bending, driving, etc., has not been an issue with weapon retention. Second, when putting the band directly on skin, be careful to position the "hook" part of the Velcro all the way on to the band and don't leave any exposed to rub on skin. Very irritating. I alleviated this issue by placing the band around waist with Velcro at 12:00 position and then rotating it to desired carry position. Third, riding in the position that I described above, going #2 for a man or at all for a woman requires removal of belly band and weapon/magazines. In the privacy of your own home, not real issue, but in a public restroom, you must be aware of the weapon/magazine retention mentioned above because forgetting that while unvelcroing the band could result in weapon/magazines dropping on floor. At minimum embarrassing, at worst negligent discharge and someone gets shot. And last, the bigger your belly, I suspect the more the band will roll/bunch up around your waist. According to the BMI charts, I am still obese, but while not a "hard body" by any definition of the term, I do not have a huge stomach and if I wear the band too high, the fat I do have over my abs, does allow the band to bunch up some. I have found that placing the band as low as possible (while still allowing you to sit down) and tightening up band to just about uncomfortable seems to minimize this. Overall, this belly band meets my needs. I can now wear shorts and a T-shirt and adequately conceal my pistol. All of the negatives listed above I believe can be addressed with a little experimentation with carry position.

Because of women's clothing being so tight and conforming, I was scared to carry because you could see it. I also had the problem of my work pants or leggings getting weighed down. I needed something that could put my gun sniggly flush against my body so you couldn't see it, as well as hold it separately from my bottoms so they don't get weighed down. This works GREAT!! Only downsides are bending over isn't as easy, I bend over a little wonky when I wear it, and foing to the bathroom, after I go I either have to shove my underwear back under it, put my underwear over it, or undo it and pull my underwear back up and them put it back on. But overall it's great and I would recommend it!!

Belly Band holsters violate my first rule for holsters: one size doesn’t fit all. That said, I was ready to give this product a try since I like to spend my summers wearing gym shorts, which makes carrying a firearm very challenging.For reference, I’m approx 5’7” - 5’9”, weighing in at 180-190 lbs, depending on the time of year, and my last meal. I carry a Springfield XD-S 9mm or a Glock 42 .380.I utilize a 1-10 point rating system, with 10 being “I love this product more than I love my wife.” Note, nothing ever gets a 10, except my wife.WEIGHT: 9It’s worth mentioning the bands light weight because when the rest of your wardrobe is lightweight, the last thing you want in a holster is weight.ADJUSTABILITY: 9I found it’s adjustability (up to 44”) contributes significantly to identifying that sweet spot of comfort and concealability.FLEXIBILITY: 9The flexibility of being able to utilize a single holster for multiple firearms is quite remarkable. It’s not a perfect system but the trigger guards were covered.RETENTION: 7Appears to be adequate, but keep in mind this is a new belly band. I have no idea how well it will hold up over time. As others have mentioned, it’s possible the retention strap may not be needed, depending on your firearm of choice. I’ve decided to utilize the strap for its intended purpose.EASE of DRAW: 7Like any new holster platform, you better train with it in order to become proficient in your draw. Releasing the retention strap adds time to your draw, but that added time can be mitigated with additional training. I train with it most every day.CONCEALABILITY: 7This is another variable, depending on body type and firearm. I scored this a 7, because it does print for me, just a little, depending on position of carry. Then again, I know its there. Someone else might not notice it at all.COMFORT: 9This band is the most comfortable holster I’ve every carried. If there’s a downside at all, it’s that I did sweat under the band outside on a hot, summer day. For what its worth, I don’t notice the sweat until I remove the band for the day.SAFETY: To be determined.I’m not comfortable offering a safety score this early in my ownership of the belly band. The trigger guards on both firearms are covered, but one must keep in mind the material is essentially elastic and not kydex or some other hard material. Again, consistent training and firearm discipline are critical with every holster.OVERALL, I really like this platform for casual summer carry. As we move into the cooler months, I’ll probably still find reasons to utilize this platform until Old Man Winter makes it impractical. Digging through layers of long underwear to reach your firearm just stops making sense, at least for some of us.In closing, I should mention this is a veteran-owned company. That matters to me, as long as the product is a good value, which it is.
