The Pros and Cons of Belly Band Holsters for Concealed Carry
Although most people who choose to carry a concealed handgun choose to carry them in either a waistband holster or a shoulder holster, both of these types of concealed carry holsters require the user to wear some sort of outer garment such as a coat or jacket to conceal the handgun. Since doing so is not always feasible, manufacturers have introduced belly band holsters in response to the need for a concealed carry holster that can be worn underneath light weight clothing.
Not familiar with this type of concealment? A belly band holster consists of a wide elastic band with a Velcro closure on either end and one or more pockets to hold your handgun and extra ammunition. Belly Bands are far lighter and far less bulky than either waistband or shoulder holsters. They are worn by wrapping the elastic band tightly around your body above your hips and then snuggled tight against your body with the Velcro tabs. The purpose of this type of holster is to enable you to carry your handgun concealed at times or in places where either a waistband or shoulder holster are either not appropriate or not concealable enough.
On the other hand, some people find belly band holsters to be uncomfortable because they must be wrapped tightly around the user's mid section. Depending on your body size and shape, the edges of the elastic band might roll up or down, and because they lack any type of retention option other than compression, your handgun may slip slip out of the pocket when you bend over if it is not secured properly. Also, because the wide elastic band rests against the user's skin, they may feel hot to wear, and may cause the user to perspire more which can cause skin irritation and itching beneath the band. They are usually worn beneath a loose fitting shirt or blouse, so keep in mind that your garment must first be lifted in order to allow access to your handgun.
Belly band holsters are usually favored by undercover police officers or similar occupations when other types of concealed carry options are not a viable choice. Like most everything, the concealed carry option you choose comes down to personal preference. For example, you might find it to be hot in the summer, but better than any other option, so being a little uncomfortable is well worth it to you. Or you don't live where it is 80 degrees, so temperature is not going to be a factor. Consider purchasing a Belly Band Holster so that you can evaluate the various pros and cons for yourself.
