Belt Holster vs Paddle Holster

[FCH]

I thought they stopped making those things in the 80's or early 90's.

No, they still make them.

Please define

really old

What mystifies me the most is how anyone can actually carry a handgun on their waist without a belt.

WITH DUE RESPECT TO ALL..........

Some of us are 'leaner' than others. Some of us wear warm ups and/or shorts, or the like. Hard to wear a belt sometimes with what you wear. A good paddle holster is all it takes. I wear a ranger belt everyday to work, hunt, and a dress belt when I attend church. When I get home, comfort is the thing. No Belts. Need to make a run to the store, slip the paddle on with whatever you're wearing, and it's just fine. Don't need belts/suspenders to hold my pants up, gun or no gun. This is the main reason I love a paddle holster and mainly carry a small pistol when CCW. I also carried my Glock 20 in Yellowstone without a belt. HIked all day. No problems.

Merry Christmas and safe holiday travels!

No worries. I'm not one of the leaner folks at my age, but at 50, I do still have a 34" waist and 46" chest with a "slightly" less athletic build than I had at 20. The issue isn't keeping the jean/pant up without a belt, but rather the holster with a 2-3 pound loaded gun flopping around with only the very flexible material of the jeans/pants to secure it in place. I don't see how it has anything to do with one's leanness.

However, if it works for you to your satisfaction.

I think people are picking away hoping to find some "loop hole" when we just take it at face value and wear a belt.

Better yet, conceal and there are no restrictions on what type of holster, or any holster at all.
