Thanks for the good review. I have not carried before and I am not sure a "belly" type holster would work well for me. Can you recommend something that you already have and like to use for concealed carry?
ok, you asked, here we go 🤣😂 so first, my opinon on belly band is that it is very niche in nature. i do not and would not choose to carry this way day to day for sure. but again, has its place and options are always good. how i carry or how you carry will depend largely on a variety of things like what you carry, location that is comfortable for you, your body type, what type of clothes you normally wear, yadda, yadda, yadda. for me, i typically carry outside the waist band with an undershirt and cover garment of some sort. since we can carry open or concealed, i seldom worry about things being 100% concealed cuz i don't have to. which brings me to another varable i guess, the regulations in your area. since you asked about concealed carry here we will go down that road. inside the waist band, usually at the three o clock position is pretty common. you will want to get a good belt, one made for carrying. Kore is a pretty solid company for that in my opinion but do some homework, actually do homework on all of what i am saying as there are tons of good companies for this sorta thing. as far as holsters, next you gotta pick the material, straight up kydex, leather or a combo? kydex often offers the best retention but with inside waist band carry and completely concealed, that is far less of a worry for most folks. leather will have a little more give, comform to your boday a bit more and might be more comfortable. kydex is liekly way more common and readily available. then tehre are hybrids with a kydex shell on a leatehr backing. anyway you go here, i would say a two belt loop verison is going to be more secure and distribute the weight a lot better so look into that. oh and back on the belt, i like a wider belt, say one and three quarter inch over on and a half inch but you gotta be sure you pants will allow that and get a holster will big enough belt loops too. just a side note. ok, back to holsters and again there are many companies. remember me saying the make and model would be a big variable? yeah, start there because depending on what you have optiosn may be pretty limited. for straight up kydex or maybe hybrid, i have always liked Alien Gear. they have been around a minute, are solid and offer a big variety, even can do custom shop for you if need be. for leather i really like Craft Holsters. those are my initial thoughts, thanks for the question. remember that conversaiton here on TH-cam int he commetns suck becuase we seldom get notifications, so i fyou wanna follow up best to do that through social media DM/PM, through my website, etc.
I’m a big guy (6’2” 250) w/ a “dad bod” (big belly) & I basically exclusively use a belly band to CCW. I’ve tried Tier 1 appendix & it just was never comfortable enough. In fact, it was quite painful bending forward. Plus there were limitations on what I could wear. Props to their marketing though because I spent Goode $$$ on it. I have 2 primary belly holsters: 1 for deep conceal appendix. The 2nd I only use high strong side (think several inches beneath armpit). Both of these options work best for me in %100 of scenarios. I’ve yet to have a scenario where either belly band wouldn’t work or would be uncomfortable. Don’t fall for the hype of Kydex holsters. Belly bands are the more affordable, versatile, comfortable option.
yup, i get it.... we are all different and so having options like this is nice. lots of people claim this is or that is stupid and should not exist. you won't ever hear me saying those types of things. that said, i have found very few situations, very few, where this or any other belly band works well if at all for me.
Great video as usual. I've tried a few different ones a couple of years ago and didn't care for them due to me having a tactical muffin top 😂 and it causing them to keep "rolling down" and becoming uncomfortable after maybe an hour. I think they'll work great for people who have a more slender profile.
I have one. Let me start by saying, I am a large dude. I have trouble with most holsters due to the extra "storage" I have up front. I wear it on top of an undershirt and about half way past the edge of my pants. My EDC is an M&P Plus and it works really well for me. It doesn't print and I can carry up to 3 additional mags with the extra velcro mag pouches you can order. I have the black one, but you can get a gray or "nude" color as well. I think they have a new one out now, but I haven't looked at it yet. I just took the time ot figure out what worked for me and made the adjustments to my dress and routine. I also carry a Canik METE SF that works great with the belt.
I'd try running the retention strap over the trigger guard on the revolver. I carried one with a shroud on my ankle for 30 years as a cop, and running the strap over the trigger guard kept it very secure.
Belly bands are great. I use mine more than ever as I'm getting back into fitness routines to include dog walks and gym visits. Typically I carry higher using belly bands and at appendix or 330 position. Usually a Jframe type revolver or My P365.
I’ve got my Bravobelt now and I absolutely love this waistband! I bought it for my compact M&P Shield. But OMG it comfortably and securely can holster my full sized CORE M&P too! I feel really good about the retention and security of the full size pistol in this band!
Just tried the BravoBelt. The snap retention and my clumsiness had me sliding it into the holster pocket with the firearm, which had me worried about it tangling with the trigger. Not good. As long as I'm paying necessary attention, then I'm OK. I'm thinking that the snap retention elastic, with all my sweating and washing, will wear out quick so we'll see. It's comfortable at the 3 and 4 o'clock. If you're portly then I'm ultra-portly, and so wasn't comfortable at AIWB or Outside Belly Carry (OBC) from 12 to 2. The material and fit does feel comfortable, and its construction does seem solid, so thumbs up there. An excellent follow-up would be for me to run in place or jog with it, see how that goes. Overall, it's probably going to be for around the house and yard, and very probably not for the public. I like that I can now carry my Beretta APX (full and Centurion) in my sweats, since the Phlster Enigma is so darned expensive (and unavailable for my Berettas) Thank you, CloverTac.
I just got mine in recently still tryin to get uses to it. I re cently got my CCW. that all being said....I have carried my xdm elite 4.5" as well as my ruger American. 45...both full size guns, and I like it so far. The band is comfy. I'm a bigger person and always wear baggy clothes so haven't had issues printing yet.
I wear mine around the hips carry strong side. I have the comfort tac and cross breed. The crossbreed is gun specific the comfort tac is like this one. I also have smart carry that’s my favorite
this can't happen... i do not allow random viewers to post links in my comments for the safety and security of my viewers, spamming an scamming is a huge problem here on youotube
Good video, good info. One thing, if I could offer a bit of a critique...please always include what the cost is as part of the review. It's one of the 1st things I would want to know about the product. Otherwise, nicely done! Thanks for the review!
let me tell you why seldom if ever i talk prices... TH-cam policy. firearm content creators have very speciic polcies we have to deal with when it comes to TH-cam, they literally have sections that apply to us and no one else. anything that is remotely considered the "promotion or sale" of a firearm product can become problematic. not talking money is one of the ways i have found to help avoid problems. prices can easily be found once you are aware that a producdt exists right? so there ya go, just a little inside baseball.
hey, no biggie my friend...and thanks for the kindness. a lot of channels push the envelope, take the risks, i do not really have the luxury of flying under the radar.
I bought a different one but never used it because there isn’t a trigger guard. When you’re up against a kitchen counter and hit a corner, it felt like the trigger could go off. How’s the trigger guard for this one? From the looks of it, it seems like the button is made of thicker material so that there isn’t negligent discharge.
i don't think i have ever seen a belly band that wasn't just some piece of elastic... including this one. so you are right not much in the way of heavy duty protection like leather or kydex would be. depending on the handgun we are talking about of course, it would have to be a pretty crazy situation to bump something and cause a discharge in my opinion. i mean, you probably should be a little more careful about not bumping your firearm around too much anyway, right? that said, there is such a thing as trigger covers. they are little plastic pieces that cover the trigger guard, usally with a piece of paracord through them. if a bellyband is your choice for whatever reason, maybe try to find one of those, tether the cord to the velcro area OR if you know someone handy could probably sew it in good and tight. when you draw it would pull the cover off and you are good to go.
@@CloverTac Thanks for the feedback. I think I’ll look into the trigger guard like how you mentioned. I guess it’s just more of a mental hurdle knowing that it isn’t a conventional type of trigger guard like the one I carry with now. I definitely want to use a belly band for the days that I don’t wear jeans and have to wear a tactical belt with the holster.
whole different animal fo course so, yeah, probably handy to have one around, especially with the lower price point, just in case you find yourself in need of something different
Good video Chris 👍 I just got one of these to review, it's sitting next to me right now lol. I'm wondering if it may fit and feel a little better if it were to partially sit behind your belt line like say a kydex aiwb holster would? As for me I see/envision it as a comfortable way to carry around the house when I'm wearing my stretchy sweat pants 😅
yeah, i just don't know if i find an piece of elastic tightened around me to be comfortable. it obviously has to be so tight to hold the weight and all. not complaining by any means, it has a place, just not sure yet that it has a place for me
@@CloverTac yeah I hear you on all that. As soon as I agreed to review it I already had some concerns/doubts some of which you covered in your review. I'll give it the ol college try as they say lol. Great video again 👍
If they add a muzzle sleeve to protect the user from barrel rub I would be a buyer. Had an item similar to this with backing behind the barrel and it worked well except for longer barrel guns. I like the carry a government 1911 or 4in revolvers. I'd like added protection.
I like a belly band for the comfort BUT I have found that it makes it print to much to be able to use for what I intended to use it for so it will be for them cold Texas winter sweater weather I don’t wear tight T-shirts and tops and even with hubbys big shirts it print to much Nice review
body type has and will always play a huge role in whatever holster you are looking at, so not surprised here. just gotta find what works for you. as for printing, well my opinion is htat people typically worry about why to much and in most cases considering in most cases there are no legal ramifications for printing
good question, hmm, i nave neither so can't really try it. best guess i can make is that it probably would, yeah. the light shouldn't be an issue at all but the 19 obviously won't sit quite as deep as my 42 in this example.
this one did not come with anything other than what you see in the video, so good question. they very likely offer different accessories, maybe even different packages depending on what people want and the price point
When wearing it and sweating you gun will also get that sweat as well. Gun getting sweat you better clean it after wearing it cause it can cause rust issues
that can also happen with both iwb and owb on the hip, depends on the firearm too. let me tell you a story about that. so was on the range one day, youth shooting sports stuff, someone screams, snake... myself, another instructor and a dad run that way, the dad gets there first, draws his 1911 from an iwb holster and click, he racks, click again. i pull my glock 42 from my owb and bang, dead snake. later on that dad tells me once he got home he took his 1911 apart and it was nasty as all get out. so year, it can happen regardless. two things i would add here though. first, cleaning and maintenance is paramount with your carry firearms but you should be regularly shooting what you carry anyway, so that should be a common thing. carrying and hardly ever getting an trigger time is not very optimal. the second thing, which helps me a lot, is wearing an undershirt, something between my body and firearm. typically i will carry owb with a light cover garment, but almost always have some type of under garment, even though i seldom carry anything that worries me too much when it comes to moisture. heck, i once left my glcok 42 out on a range table and it ended up under a foot of snow for like two days. when i remembered it, went out, dug it out, both loaded magaines left of the table too ran through it fine. 😂🤣 thanks for the good comment, chance to talk about these things i have experienced and definitely gives folks something they should be thinking about.
🤣😂 i am not going to go out and find some overweight person (ain't i overweight enough), just to try this one so i can film them, come on now. you coudl buy it from Amazon then return it easily if you don't like it 😂🤣 and of course it would get sweaty depending on the situation, Texas heat and humidity for example. 🤣😂 i give this a try and can see where i can come in handy for certain situations for certain people but for me, eh, will stick with leather or kydex owb
You're not portly your my brother. Since I'm in a wheelchair I have used bellybelts before, but when I go out to Arizona it can get a little hot and then I start getting itchy. Or when I haven't taken a shower in a week or two. ( Lol ). You should have someone check your gun's before hand. I heard this guy Alec is looking for a job. Have a great night! Ruger Rich
thanks for the input on belly bands.... i have no doubt that they can be optimal in certain situations for sure, just not sure how often i would be in one of those situations you know?
yeah, probably so if you practiced it enough. i am sure it is different for everyone. i absolutely feel this has a place for some people, i just have to found many situation myself where it work as well as other things. maybe i am just too picky. 🤣😂
This states my "First Belly Band" I do not want to be buying many of these. I think most of us have a footlocker full og various expensive holsters. Guess what, once you buy them, you are stuck with them. Most gun shops will sell little to none if any holsters, it is even worse when it comes to accessories. They will admit it.
i may be missing your point here. i do agree, most avid firearm owners, including myself have tons of holsters sitting around. the issue at hand is that we are all different in body type, clothes we wear, etc. so trying holsters until we find one that works the best is sadly just a thing. i guess a good thing with this one is that it is cheaper than a lot of belt style holsters out there with also being able to work with a variety of handguns. heck if you wanna go with a knock off, can probably get the investment down even lower. amzn.to/3WuLPp0
reholstering with any holster can be slightly dangerous... why observing safety measures and practicing draws/reholster is vital if one i planning on carrying. biggest issue is keeping your finger off the trigger of course. in a successful self defense situation, you will likley have plenty of time to reholster, so not like you have to be fast at it, right?
there is a short clip of them demostrating it in the video i dropped last Tuesday on the recent NRAAM inudstry event... so you can kinda see it in action there. it is more a belly band that holds an actual holster.
Cool way to carry . Never tried it yet 🍀 clovertac. Think for females out to do some jugging or out to gym yes could totally work or the bigger guy has hard time pocket carrying or in wastband . Just started small TH-cam channel my self clovertac got few small videos up . From hunting video to ammo locating to review on a cool small mini scale ⚖ for reloading.

Which ones do you use ?
@@JGoode - You should try pancake holsters. They are good for ppl with our body build and more secure than a belly band holster.

Can you reach it quickly with it being that high under your shirt?
I'd try running the retention strap over the trigger guard on the revolver. I carried one with a shroud on my ankle for 30 years as a cop, and running the strap over the trigger guard kept it very secure.
That Byrna belt has a model with a wider pocket for if you have a flashlight laser attachment as well it’s the one I just got for my less lethal berna
Belly bands are great. I use mine more than ever as I'm getting back into fitness routines to include dog walks and gym visits. Typically I carry higher using belly bands and at appendix or 330 position. Usually a Jframe type revolver or My P365.

How does your P365 do with this? Is yours the XL or sub compact? I want to pick this up for my p365
Thanks for this! I just ordered mine and should have it soon.
cool, be sure to come back and let us all know what you think

Interesting option for alternative form of carry.
does it work with pistols that have either a light or lazer?
it is literally an elastic strap, so don't know why not
I have a belly band holster,and it works great for me. But I'm also six foot, 150, I'm a tooth pick! Lol.
Nice review thank you
Good video. Would a Glock 19 with an OLIGHT BALDER MINI fit it?
good question, hmm, i nave neither so can't really try it. best guess i can make is that it probably would, yeah. the light shouldn't be an issue at all but the 19 obviously won't sit quite as deep as my 42 in this example.
I was hoping the retention strap would only be necessary while at home with kids and you could carry without the strap fastened in public
i dont see why the strap would be absolutely necessay either way... you can opt not to use it, just ruck it behind the band
Where are all the extra pouches shown from the thumbnail?
this one did not come with anything other than what you see in the video, so good question. they very likely offer different accessories, maybe even different packages depending on what people want and the price point

Could you carry a full size like a canik tp9 with this
can carry most anything... j
Basically just a piece of elastic
Show how the gun snaps in
you will have to check out another video somewhere, this was a one and done for me, sorry.
A belly band is the way to go for those who whey as much as I do... Men or women...
i can see it... not really an primary or even optimal choice for me but it still has its place every now and again
I am a thick guy (fat) Have a fat friend try it on video. Does it get sweaty after a while?
🤣😂 i am not going to go out and find some overweight person (ain't i overweight enough), just to try this one so i can film them, come on now. you coudl buy it from Amazon then return it easily if you don't like it 😂🤣 and of course it would get sweaty depending on the situation, Texas heat and humidity for example. 🤣😂 i give this a try and can see where i can come in handy for certain situations for certain people but for me, eh, will stick with leather or kydex owb
You're not portly your my brother. Since I'm in a wheelchair I have used bellybelts before, but when I go out to Arizona it can get a little hot and then I start getting itchy. Or when I haven't taken a shower in a week or two. ( Lol ). You should have someone check your gun's before hand. I heard this guy Alec is looking for a job. Have a great night! Ruger Rich
thanks for the input on belly bands.... i have no doubt that they can be optimal in certain situations for sure, just not sure how often i would be in one of those situations you know?
@@CloverTac I hope you never are. A lot of women use them, especially when their pants have no belt.
Should be able use your thumb to remove the strap during your draw
yeah, probably so if you practiced it enough. i am sure it is different for everyone. i absolutely feel this has a place for some people, i just have to found many situation myself where it work as well as other things. maybe i am just too picky. 🤣😂
This states my "First Belly Band" I do not want to be buying many of these. I think most of us have a footlocker full og various expensive holsters. Guess what, once you buy them, you are stuck with them. Most gun shops will sell little to none if any holsters, it is even worse when it comes to accessories. They will admit it.
i may be missing your point here. i do agree, most avid firearm owners, including myself have tons of holsters sitting around. the issue at hand is that we are all different in body type, clothes we wear, etc. so trying holsters until we find one that works the best is sadly just a thing. i guess a good thing with this one is that it is cheaper than a lot of belt style holsters out there with also being able to work with a variety of handguns. heck if you wanna go with a knock off, can probably get the investment down even lower. amzn.to/3WuLPp0
If shtf you can unwrap thru your shirt then lift shirt and draw.
not exactly sure what you mean... why unwrap at all?
The strap hinders the draw, I cut it off.
Re holstering looks slightly dangerous 😂
reholstering with any holster can be slightly dangerous... why observing safety measures and practicing draws/reholster is vital if one i planning on carrying. biggest issue is keeping your finger off the trigger of course. in a successful self defense situation, you will likley have plenty of time to reholster, so not like you have to be fast at it, right?
I was expecting a girl to wear this
probably more suited for chicks in yoga pants for sure 🤣😂
@@CloverTac 😶
Please stop carrying the Taurus.
did you comment on the wrong video? i don't carry a Taurus. 🤣😂
I would like this item a lot better if it wasn’t made in China !!!
have you looked into the band from Crossbreed? of course it might be made over seas too, so much is now days
No I haven’t but with the good advice you gave me I will. Thanks.
there is a short clip of them demostrating it in the video i dropped last Tuesday on the recent NRAAM inudstry event... so you can kinda see it in action there. it is more a belly band that holds an actual holster.
Cool way to carry . Never tried it yet 🍀 clovertac. Think for females out to do some jugging or out to gym yes could totally work or the bigger guy has hard time pocket carrying or in wastband .
Just started small TH-cam channel my self clovertac got few small videos up . From hunting video to ammo locating to review on a cool small mini scale ⚖ for reloading.
