Belly Band Holster - by BRAVOBELT Athletic Performance Holster for Running, Jogging, Hiking - G17-43 S&W M&P 40 Shield | for Men & Women

It takes some getting used to but you’re definitely not hyper aware of it. The real test is how it feels when you’re sitting, and it passes in that area. I bought it for my S&W 687 and it fits nicely in the holster. I like that there’s a place to put my phone and another small item like a knife. I would recommend going up a shirt size though, it does stick out a bit if you’re wearing a “normal” size for you. I don’t know if that’s different with men, but as a woman, it’s sticking out a good few inches which kind of defeats the purpose. But no problem, I just went up a size and it’s concealed. It feels sturdy, I’ve had it for a few days and have not had any issues, and that’s wearing it in 100 degree heat. Easy to put on, easy to remove. Not bulky, it’s thin but not too thin. I think I like this more than an IWB holster because you can remove it pretty quickly and can holster again without needing to take off your pants!

I ordered this for when I'm wearing leggings or not able to wear a belt. I wear a size 16 jeans and when I first put this on I thought it was a little snug. I've wore it a few more times since then and it is very comfortable. It sits perfect on my waste and hides well. I've noticed it shifts up a little and that is probably due to having a belly. Depending on your size and comfortability, you may want to size up. The material is very soft against your skin and you will forget it is even there. I'm happy I opted for this vs the other ones I was looking at

Comfortable and Secure for Active Carry – Some Room for ImprovementI've been using the BRAVOBELT Athletic Performance Holster with my S&W 9mm Equalizer for a few weeks, primarily during running, jogging, and hiking sessions. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the holster’s performance, but there are a couple of minor drawbacks to consider.Comfort & Fit:The holster is very comfortable to wear for extended periods. The neoprene material is soft against the skin, preventing chafing or irritation even when worn directly against the body. The adjustable elastic band ensures a snug, secure fit without being too tight, and the holster stays in place during physical activity, whether I’m running or hiking up steep trails.Concealment & Accessibility:For concealed carry, this holster works well. It keeps my S&W 9mm Equalizer secure and discreet under a shirt, even when I’m moving around a lot. The retention strap adds peace of mind, keeping the firearm in place during more intense activities. That said, drawing the weapon does require a little practice—getting a smooth and quick draw can be a bit tricky at first.Versatility:What I really like about the BRAVOBELT is its versatility. You can wear it in various positions—whether on the waist, appendix carry, or even on the back—and it still provides comfort and accessibility. Plus, the extra pockets are a nice touch, giving me room for a spare magazine, keys, or an ID.Room for Improvement:There are a couple of areas where the holster could be improved. The retention strap could be a little easier to fasten securely—it sometimes requires a bit of fiddling to ensure it’s snapped properly. Additionally, during high-intensity activities, I noticed the holster shifting upward slightly, so I had to readjust it every now and then.Conclusion:The BRAVOBELT Athletic Performance Holster is a great option for anyone looking to carry their firearm comfortably during physical activities. It’s comfortable, versatile, and works well for concealed carry, though it would benefit from minor adjustments to the retention and stability. All in all, it’s a solid choice, and I would recommend it for active users.

Feels great when using.Great way to wear when in the proximity

It fits great, is comfortable, and the Velcro is super strong. However, I’m experiencing a few issues with it. First, it stretched out after only a week of use, which has led to a second issue with the detachable mag holder. Since the band is now stretched, the detachable mag holder doesn’t fit vertically on the band, and its Velcro scratches my skin whenever I don’t wear an undershirt. Additionally, I’m not sure if it’s just me experiencing this, but my extra magazine slid out of the pouch in front of the gun twice while I was out running. Maybe adding a strap would help? My old cheaper belly band does not have issues with mag sliding out of the pouch because it has a strap.

Well made and secures your pew. Very comfortable and versatile. I've carried 3 sizes in it, compact, sub and full. Does the job. I went with the nude color to conceal better in a white shirt. Can't tell it's there but remember to size up your shirts.

This belt exceeds all expectations that I had,comfortable and discreet, love the slots for extra mags and accessories, the strap over the gun gives a good sense of security yet ease of access, wear it under a tee shirt with confidence, thumbs up from me.

This works great with my Glock. It is very comfortable and with a loose t-shirt, concealment is achieved. I do a lot of walking, and I must say that this belt gives extra back support.
