I'm awaiting delivery on an Alien Gear Sport Tuck belly band - basically a band that has hooks to insert/immobilize an IWB Cloak Tuck 3.5 holster to the body. I saw one of our members say good things about it, and look forward to trying it for those situations where normal carry isn't so convenient.

By the way, I previously tried the Low Pro belly band - integrates the holster with the band. It was a no-go for me. The outer kydex shell was not strongly enough connected to the underlying material to keep the pistol well secured. I could push it and it would move out of position. Returned for an exchange to try the Sport Tuck version.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I hope you like the Aliengear stuff better than I did. It looked like a great concept - and it is....but I found their stuff pretty poorly executed.

 

Pistol Wear offers a convertible belly band or shoulder holster, the integral pouch has a hold down strap with magnetic catch.

 

If you don't find what you are looking for specifically, and decide to "make" your own...know that Urban Carry holsters have a retention system that works. And is adjustable for more or less. Add it (sew it) to a "back brace" and you have a utilitarian "belly band" that will keep your firearm concealed and secure.

 

Here's an earlier thread not too old I follow that might offer you some good information.

Belly Band Holster Update

A few months ago a few here on ST were discussing Belly Band holsters. They say there is nothing new under the sun but for me it’s probably the one holster I’ve never owned. I was looking for something that would allow me to comfortably carry my EDC 229 while wearing beltless clothing such as...

Thanks Nev! That's the one that influenced me to try the Sport Tuck...@AzMaz had good things to say in a thoughtful review. I really appreciate forum members sharing these experiences - otherwise, tough to figure out where to start on something like belly band.

 

You can wander over to the Geauga Firearms Academy YouTube Channel. Kim does pretty good reviews on the different belly band holsters she tries out and wears daily.

 

My Alien Gear continues to be great for what I use it for. When I take my dog out in the morning I usually wear adidas athletic pants and a t-shirt and my Alien Gear works perfectly. The kydex holster snaps securely and retention is very secure. My P229 has never come close to falling out.

 

I'm a big fan of the Phlster Enigma. It's my go-to holster setup 99% of the time. It's expensive for what it is, but it is really top notch when it comes to concealment. I can really go into depth about it's pros and cons over anything else. If concealment/printing is not a huge concern, there are plenty of cheaper options such as the Comfort Concealment band and others.

 

There are many brands of BB's that have a thumb break snap strap on them for retention. More comfortable than with kydex too. Crossbreed makes an integrated kydex belly band that look pretty good too.
