Since most of the shooters are here, thought I'd throw this out ... I had a "belly band" that had sewn-in areas for small pistols and magazines. Worked great, just wrap it around your beer gut and attach the Velcro. So now I'm looking for one that would also accept a few blades. My goal is to have a "belly band", 6"-8" wide, that will have the features to hold an LCP, 2 magazines, and 2 flat blades in the rear of the band. Has anyone come across such a beast? Thanks, JB.
I have zero experience with this product but what about something like this? http://bellybandccw.com I have seen one on line when talking with a guy about concealment options. He said he used something like this and had also used "thunder wear". I had looked at the thunder wear and that would be ahh not for me!!! Bob
Builder Bob- That looks like what I had, a few minor differences but the same thing. I suppose I'd have to add the sheathes on my own, but that thing is the basic concept. Mine was a champ, but tucked up higher on my torso. LCP in front of my left arm-pit, mags. on the right of my chest. I'll figure this out, thanks. Thanks again, you were the only one to post an option. I appreciate that. JB
I've never tried a belly band but I have had two Smart Carry holsters (similar to Thunderwear), one for a KelTec P11 and another for a small ParaOrdnance ParaCarry Lda .45. They were surprisingly comfortable but I was never satisfied with the draw with them. When I shot IDPA I had a real nice Tucker Gun Leather "The Answer" holster for my G27. I've gotten lazy and just pocket carry a KTP3AT in a small pocket holster these days. I was also looking at the SneakyPete holsters for a Bersa .380 I'm picking up soon. I have a couple options for my G19 but nothing exciting. Sorry I can't be of more assistance on the belly bands JB.
No sweat, this belly band configuration might be a 'one-off'. I was hoping for a existing style to compare my ideal band to. I'm short and slight--( 5'-6",- 150lbls)- and bald. Tough to "not-print". I want the blades incorporated into this thing, because... (NC)
No problem JB, if I remember correctly there was a guy on defensivecarry.com that used one but I cannot remember who the manufacturer was. It sounds similar to what you describe. He used to carry it below his left armpit for a right hand draw and had two of the buttons on his full button up shirt stitched with a velcro (or snaps) backup that allowed the shirt to look buttoned up still get easy access to the pistol.
Brian, thanks for the link. Mine wasn't like those- similar but different. I really think it was part of a 'short-run', I may have to consider a custom unit for my needs/wants. Thanks, JB
