Sure can't argue with that. It bears repeating often.propellerhead wrote:Situational awareness makes a bigger impact on whether you make it home that day or not.

Use a tupperware gun and don't plan on drawing fast. When I use a belly band, I generally carry my Ruger P 95. But I don't carry this method often.

We're all different.
My dad didn't like the belly band. I love it. (In fact, he gave me his.)
Drawing from the belly band actually isn't much slower than holster draw. The belly band is also a good option if you aren't wearing something that accommodates the belt. Think scrubs (for you medical folks), or dresses and skirts.
Try attaching a holstered gun to a skirt without the belt. You'll find that you aren't wearing the skirt very well.

Or "Kilts" for us Scott/Irish folk.
Seriously though, that is a good idea for medical people. I will have my daughter try the belly band when she gets her CHL.
Thanks for the idea.

Flint,
That is my 1st suggestion for ladies & try it crossdraw at about 9:30 to 10:00.

Again, if I had to get rid of all my holsters but one, I'd keep the Belly Band. I carry a .357 snubbie, a Glock 23, or a Springer GI .45 with no problem. If I am in shorts or work out attire, it is great. Alot of times, I wear it to Church. I slide it up so it is higher up on my belly, and put it at a crossdraw. I have my shirt tucked in, I just have one button between me and my weapon.

Nobody's mentioned the SmartCarry. I've been considering one of these.
They have a customer-made video (2.1MB) on their site.

TIN BENDER, where are you? You're on!
He was impressed enough that he bought one of each size.
