I've carried this way with OWB when dressed up wearing a not-so-sturdy belt (before I started wearing IWB Appendix almost exclusively). The dress pants belt wasn't firm enough to keep the holster from pulling away from my body & tended to print a bit much. The only issue I noticed with this method (and you can refer to the photo NotRPB posted to see it) is that the belt puts tension against the inside of the holster's belt loop slots, causing them to push out slightly. This causes a bit of printing from the outer wings of the holster if the cover garment is snug, however the printing is more ambiguous since its not the gun itself that's printing.mojo84 wrote:NotRPB, interesting you bring this up. I really like how snug the gun is held to my side in my Crossbreed IWB holster. When I wear my OWB holster which is just mediocre quality I can feel it kind of bounce and wobble when I walk and move. That bothers me. I haven't thought to try threading the holster so it will be between the belt and pants.
Anyone else try this? Any real downfall to doing it this way?
I still use it occasionally if using OWB, and show it to my clients as one method of routing the belt thru their holster for a snugger fit, with the above caveat of causing the holster 'ears' sticking out.
