Belly Band

Post by pnctar »

Searched the site for pistolware.com and had a couple hits but, they just bring up an error page ... sooo ... would like your opinion, if you have the product or have had dealings with them?

Those are the same links that came up in my search ... thank you. I couldn't see anything because of my settings in the control panel, my bad. Thanks again.

I'm really going to consider one of these for CC at work.

I wear scrubs, and am going to have to get a size or two bigger in shirts. I wear muscle (or in my case: FAT) shirts underneath, so rubbing and chafing shouldn't be an issue.

i picked up a belly band at a gun show a while back. My issue with it is the holstering. There is no speed holstering with a belly band. it for sure is better if you use two hands but I just feel better being able to speed holster my weapon and doing it with one hand because my other hand usually has garment in it that i have to get out of the way. it works but you just have to train around it to work for you. I CAN holster my weapons in it, but after a few tests, i realized a hot gun on my skin was not going to cut it either. I ended up just pocketing my weapon then when i was clear i would holster properly. when i would holster back in the band. Under stress i was finding the slit too hard to find for my weapon so i thought i would just stick it where ever i could stick it but that ended up being between the skin and the band, that's just a bit hot and i thought about negligent discharge holstering like that wouldnt feel good either.
