8 Best Belly Band Holsters

OUR TOP PICK

Six years ago Joe Cochrane had a problem.

He was fed up with concealed carry holsters that were fine in Winter, but became bulky and uncomfortable during Summer or when he wanted to exercise, and his relentless search for a way to carry his Sig Sauer only came to a finish when he decided to address the issue himself. 

Joe created ComfortTac and developed their world-beating, and number one selling, belly band holster, and ComfortTac's legions of devoted fans continue to happily use.

Available in two sizes that are designed to fit anyone and everyone, this neoprene, sweatproof holster uses surgical grade elastic, so it’ll accommodate and comfortably hold just about any handgun.

With a hard plastic trigger guard and a metal snap retention strap for extra safety and a moveable magazine pouch, the ComfortTac has been made to give you all of the peace of mind that a good concealed carry holster should. 

Pros

• Made from neoprene and surgical grade elastic, the ComfortTac has been engineered to be both comfortable and an effective way to carry your handgun at all times. 
• It’s all also been fashioned to be worn in any way, or position that’s comfortable for you, so always be ready to react in a heartbeat. 
• And with an extra magazine pouch included, even if you get caught in the trickiest situation you’ll always have enough ammunition to ensure that you walk out of, and away from any potentially deadly scenario.

Cons 

• Some disgruntled users have complained about manufacturing issues and the fact that the metal strap doesn’t snap open as easily as they’d hoped, and imagined, that it would.

EDITORS CHOICE

Bravobelt was founded with a healthy dose of revolutionary spirit and lofty ambition.

This Detroit underdog wanted to become one of the foremost names in concealed carry, and so far they’ve been doing a pretty good job of circumventing tradition and expectation by creating the sort of belly band holsters that forearms owners actually want to wear and use. 

Made with comfort in mind, Bravobelt’s holster uses its patented CoolVent neoprene and FlexFit system to ensure that it will fit snugly and comfortably and that when you want it, and need it to, your gun will pop straight into your hand.

Perfect for joggers, runners, and everyday carry, its ambidextrous modular mounting system means that it's equally secure and safe to use for both left and right-hand shooters.   

Pros

• Compatible with most models of handguns, Bravobelt’s holster has been fashioned to ensure that concealed carry is easy and straightforward and can be worn whenever, and wherever you want to. 
• It’s a one size fits all belly band holster that’ll readily accommodate waists up to fifty-four inches and can be used by both left and right shooters. And it also has two additional magazine pouches, so it’ll provide all the support that you’ll need to get out of any situation that you might find yourself in.  
• And best of all? It also comes back with a full, one hundred percent money-back guarantee. If for any reason you don’t like your Bravobelt, just return it and they’ll refund you, no questions asked.

Cons

• Stitching can be an issue, and in rare cases can catch on, and even become entangled in, your gun when you pull it out. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it can become a problem.

BEST VALUE

All that matters when it comes to carrying your weapon safely is that the holster that it’s in actually works and that it does what it’s supposed to do.

Names are like friends, they come and go and there are only a few that you’ll ever be able to truly depend on, so the fact that you’ve never heard of Vermingo?

That’s completely immaterial, all that really matters is that their holster does what it’s been made to. And it does. It does it incredibly well. 

This neoprene belly band holster comes in a variety of sizes, so regardless of what your waist measurements are, there’s one that will fit you.

Upgraded with extra strong, safe velcro, this holster has metal snap shut straps and features an additional magazine pouch so if you’re wearing the Vermingo, you’ll always be ready to face adversity whenever it shows its unwelcome face. 

Pros

• It’s made from Neoprene so it’s been fashioned to be comfortable, durable, and hard-wearing while providing a safe, reliable, and secure holster for your weapon. 
• And it comes in a number of different sizes too, so you’ll be able to find a Vermingo that fits you perfectly. 
• While we’re on the subject of comfort, it’s also been made to be comfortably affordable for everyone. As soon as you see the price, you’ll be smiling all the way to Holster City.

Cons

• It’s made in left and right-hand versions, so make sure you order the right one (or the left one as the case may be) or you’ll end up carrying at cross purposes.
