AlphaHolster Belly Band Hand Gun Holster - Abdomen Holster - Cross Draw - Any Gun - Any Clothing - Right or Left Hand - Men or Woman

I love this! As a woman, it can be hard to conceal under most clothing. This is very discreet and comfy!

Comfortable & Superior Conceal. So, I tried this with 3 different guns. 1. H&K .40 cal USP Compact with rail laser (didn't fit because of laser). 2. S&W M&P .45 ACP Compact/4" barrel (fit - but not really a good conceal gun). & 3. Springfield XDS 9mm 3.3" barrel. Also, a 9mm XDS 8 round mag. See in the pics how it looked. I bought a MEDIUM size. I am 6' & 188lbs; waist 35", belly 37". I have about and inch of Velcro left and it was snug and comfortable. It's perfect for my size.PROs:Price - you can't beat the price. You could buy 3 at the price of a decent IWB cordura or kydex holster (both of which I own).Comfort - felt good to me. Breathable.Maximum concealment - aside from an ankle holster (which I own & hate) - this is so versatile to position (up under arms - or down close to waist).Trade-offs (not necessarily a con):Draw - The draw of course is going to be tricky in a quick situation because you'd have to pull up shirt to access. So, I'd probably only use this for maximum concealment if I was in a situation where I could be embarrassed if people knew I was packing. I always carry legally - but not all my friends understand the innate sense to protect one's self with a gun.Material - it's light & stretchy - but wouldn't allow my laser equipped .40 cal to go in because the laser had sharp edges (cheap laser). Also, it's not cut out for that shape. BUT at this price - you can modify it to work (as many on this review board have).I see myself using this when I have to - i.e. summertime - or close social gatherings.PHOTOS: (using S&W M&P .45 ACP compact on MY right; Springfield XDS 3.3" 9mm on MY left in picture; XDS mag)1. concealed with both guns down at belly level. .45 outline can be seen somewhat - but it's a tanktop!! With a flannel - you wouldn't see it. 9mm is not very noticeable.2. unconcealed showing position.3. concealed with both guns higher up.4. unconcealed with both guns higher up.5 NO guns in holster with same tank top shirt.6. Size comparison...Both guns: Bottom- S&W M&P .45 ACP 4" compact; Top- Springfield XDS 3.3" 9mm5 stars when accounting for price. Material is light - but that's what I wanted. Perfect for me.

I have tried 15 or more holsters and have never found one that was just right. I have carried for years in my front pocket because ankle holsters, inside your belt holsters, fake cell phone case,and all the others did not work well for me. The problem with caring in my pocket was no matter which case I used you could still see an outline of the gun. I saw this holster and was very skeptical that it would fit my needs especially for the price! I have to admit I was very wrong. The holster is very comfortable although it can be a little warm, it fits my Ruger LCP and S and W bodyguard very well along with extended magazines. The holster conceals super well (see my photos) I would say this is a definite buy! On top of me liking this holster tremendously the shipping was exceptionally fast and I received it within a couple of days. I don't normally write reviews on Amazon but this holster was worth it!

This is a great holster for the price. It's far from perfect but good enough for somebody in a budget.As I struggle with concealing in the horrible Florida heat I decided to search for a cheaper alternative that would hopefully tide me over for a couple of months. I came across an article comparing several belly holsters and the Alpha Belly Band had a pretty decent review talking about it’s breathable elastic and a price that couldn’t be beat so it was an inexpensive effort to try it out.Some Amazon reviews complained about the inaccuracy of the sizing but I found it to be true to size. I measured to wear it above my natural waist as I am tired of hip and waist holsters riding up. The band is much wider than I anticipated but it still fits in my short torso and I don’t expect it would be too bad for other people.The holster is designed as a “one size fits most medium and large guns” and my gun is on the smaller range of the scale so there is a lot of space for a longer muzzle. The velcro retention strap is something to get used to but necessary.The elastic feels very rough on my skin so I need to wear a tank top underneath, having that extra layer of clothing and the fact that it’s so wide makes it too hot for the Florida outdoors in the summer but it’s suitable for indoor use and the cooler time of the year. The elastic is supposed to be breathable but I haven’t haven’t found that to be very much so.The holster is designed for “crossdraw” which isn’t as odd as I feared and it’s actually helpful to me since I’m cross dominant. Like with any other soft holster, re-holstering is a 2 handed job. I don’t know how well a Kydex insert would fit on this although the elastic is stretchy enough that it would probably work. The magazine holster looks too small to fit any magazine at first glance but it’s stretchy enough that it holds my gun’s magazine and knife.Concealing in a regular t shirt or loose printed top is great but I get too much printing on a juniors and women’s size shirts so I won’t be able to use this for those outfits.Draw time is much slower than carrying in the waistband but it’s better than not carrying at all.After a long day wearing it, it started to ride up but it was stopped by my breasts so it mostly stayed in place although it bunched up a little at my bra line. After many hours of wearing it felt hot and a little uncomfortable by the evening. By the time I took it off I was relieved and discovered a slight heat rash in my stomach that cleared up quickly after I cooled off.While it won’t be part of my EDC, I’ll keep it on hand for occasions where no other holster will work for my outfit.

Looks great but I received a flesh colour when I ordered a black one, seems fine though

Huby loves it
