Anyone had any experience with 'Belly Band' Holsters?

[Ri22o]

I am wanting to start running the neighborhood and getting in better shape. I would prefer to carry, and the best option I can come up with is to wear a 'belly band' and carry in that.

Has anyone had any experience with this style holster? Any suggestions, or any to stay away from?

Here is one that I have found, with a quick search.

Never tried one myself by my brother-in-law like's his. I think he bought it the 1500, a couple of years ago for about $25.

Search out reviews at Women & Guns. A lot have tried this method and there are quite a few comments regarding "oops" type moments from slippage... or the bands with no retention strap.

fanny pack?

Ri22o, something else that you might look into is the holster shirt, I know you can find them on the nra store website. I know a couple of officer's that wear them and like them.

Glock Lover, this might be something for you to look into also for your bug.

I had thought about that too, but I don't feel like having to buy several of them at $50+ each. With a belly band type holster I can where an undershirt, between me and the band, and not have too worry too much about the band smelling too bad from sweat and such.

Yea, I have only done a quick search. I was preferring one with a retention strap. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks!

MidwayUSA - DeSantis Belly Band Holster Small, Medium Frame Semi Automatic, Revolver 30" to 34" Waist Elastic Black

Any idea if the DeSantis has a retention strap? All I can find is manufacturer photos, and they don't show anything worthwhile.

What's wrong with the UTG tactical vest?

When I jog (rarely lol) i go IWB on a belt worn under my mesh shorts. Looks funny as hell, but hey, it works and conceals well.

Just go jogging with a shoulder rig over your underarmor

I had thought about that too, but I would need something that has a little better retention than what I have now.

Under my overarmor?

Oh, actually Nick you should look into the Camelback Goblin bag.

YES it's a fanny pack, designed to carry 24oz of water. It just happens to also have an integrated pistol holster.

NO THESE ARE NOT MY PHOTOS......

I have a belly band holster and use it occasionally when there
are no other options.
I don't think that I would want to wear it while jogging,
seems like it would not stay in place very well while running.

The Thunderwear or maybe a smaller Maxpedition type
shoulder bag with belt?

Someone's got to do it.

Why even try to conceal it?
