There is someone on this board who also sells a set of suspenders that attach at the sides instead of front and back, for about $3 a pair. They are intended for wearing under a BDU/ACU/military field shirt/jacket and hook under the belt on each side. Can't remember his screen name right now, but believe he is the same guy who has been selling military packs and other gear.

I bougt a couple pair of those from gregthehand, and they work OK although they are a bit of a compromise. They weren't really designed for reaching all the way down to the belt and clipping on vertically—at least for a horizontally challenged individual such as myself—but they do work well enough. I don't consider the money to have been poorly spent. But, the solution 57coastie proposed sounds like it will work better. I ordered both the suspenders and the buttons from his source, and I'll try them out as soon as I get them.

Jim, thanks for the suggestions. I've found it almost impossible to wear a belt holster for any length of time lately because the amount tension on the belt required to make my pants and belt stay up, and the consequent pressure of any of my holsters on my side at the point of the belt slots in the holster body, both cause me almost unbearable back pain. For weeks now, the only gun I've been able to consistently belt carry is my scandium snubbie because I don't have to tighten the belt as much to hold the weight. Even so, I've taken to mostly pocket carrying.

I've tried a couple of different belt/suspenders combinations, but not with the buttons you recommend. That looks like it would actually work real well. I'm going to give it a try.

I would recommend staying inside in the AC to avoid scaring the women and children!

Verily, you wound me.

You dare mock The Fat? Dare not mock The Fat lest there be grave consequences....such as the loss of my dignity. Oh what the heck. I don't have any more dignity. My dilema is trying to decide whether it is better to conceal my pistol ITL (inside the loincloth) or BTROFUMRA (Between The Rolls Of Fat Under My Right Arm) in a cross-draw position. And by the way, kjolly, that wasn't me you saw in Austin. I do ride a bike, but my buttocks obscure most of it from view.

Now, what you guys think: ITL or BTROFUMRA?
