The reason I don't wear a belly band is how hot and uncomfortable it is, though it does make me sympathize with the wife a bit.BigGuy wrote:I just can not get comfortable with anything on my waist. I've tried a cross breed super tuck, as well as some other IWB holsters, but I just can't get comfortable with them. I've opted for the Deep Concealed Shoulder Holster. I wear it under my shirt. An emergency draw will mean flying buttons, but I'll worry about that then. In many situations, drawing will be slower, but the gun stays in the same place for all occasions. It's just as easy to draw from a siting position as from a standing one. They do make specialized shirts with hook and loop fasteners for a more rapid draw.
No, you're not going to win a Dodge City, fast draw type of gun fight with this holster. But you will have it with you every where you go, regardless of what you're wearing. It will always be in the same place, and you will be able to dress the way you want, not the way you need to for concealment.
I do also carry a .380 BUG in a pocket holster in the right hand hip pocket. If for some reason, I couldn't readily get to the 9MM on my shoulder, hopefully the BUG will buy me some time. The shoulder holster also has a place for spare mags for each.
This looks like it would be about the same. Anyone have experience with this type AND belly bands that can offer a comparative review?
