Clip & Carry STRAPT-TAC Belly Band Holster, Use with Any IWB Kydex Gun Holster for Concealed Carry (kydex Holster not Included)

I have tried several belly bands for my daily concealed carry and I cannot speak highly enough about this band. I consider it part of my daily uniform, there are times I even forget I have it on, it’s literally that comfortable, that reliable and that stationary. I never worry about my gun/holster moving around or having any type of issue while using this. In the past when using other belly bands, the velcro quickly became unreliable, the material stretched out, I went from purchasing a medium to it looking as though I was using an XL band and who wants to wear all that extra around your waist. Especially being a female, I do not want to feel as though I’m burdened with all kinds of extra “stuff” on me. I am very impressed that this stays so well put (I believe both because of the material it’s made out of and the way they’ve designed the pocket and material for the pocket) allowing your handgun to stay close to the body and not print or stick out (which can often happen and did with other belly bands in the past). Before using this band I would leave the house with nothing showing only to get up and down a few times, get in and out of the car several times to now have this huge lump showing under my clothing. This band is comfortable, you have plenty of length to mess with (which, BTW it’s worth mentioning, I personally feel the sizing can be a little deceiving and most likely you will need to size down). The small version of this is really hard to find for some reason, but it is worth waiting for when it goes on back order, I assure you. Another buyer had mentioned purchasing a quick release belt attachment to use on this which I went ahead and purchased on Amazon and love it because a lot of times when I have to go in somewhere and take the band completely off it’s the easiest way to remove and put it back on (especially if you’re in your vehicle trying to do this ). (see picture above) Guaranteed, another reason I never fear my holster or gun moving is the fact that I use a Houdini holster with this (and NO other), if you’re not familiar with this brand check them out, I guarantee the added assurance and safety of your gun staying in place is priceless.

First off I’ve tried 7 different types of belly bands. Each have their pluses and minuses with varying durability. I’ve been relatively happy with all of them but none have been exactly what I am looking for. The biggest factor that played into my decision to try this band was the concept of being compatible with my own IWB holster. I’ve coupled this then with the IWB Urban Carry hybrid holster that mimics kydex but in a high quality leather with an ingenious retention clip system. The holster fits just perfectly and functionality of everything together is surprisingly great and comfort is a 10/10. Will see how durable this will be after daily use but from the start I’m more than happy with the band. Update: my initial review was in June 2023. I’m now back to order this item again. It has lasted from June 2023 until now, late September 2025. Still works too, just getting a new holster and thinking a new band might be a good idea. Still love this setup. Have used this band everyday for over 2 years and still works perfectly for EDC IWB. 12 stars

Okay, so I'm a 61 yr old man, with a little bit of a spare tire, or love handles, so keep that in mind. So, I got the appendix carry model, simply because several people said that some holsters won't fit in the holster model. You could fit two of my IWB holsters in this thing, but that's on me. I don't appendix carry. I carry at the 3 o'clock position. Because I'm right handed, you actually have to put this on in front, then slide it around to my right side. It would be so much easier if the loop was on the opposite side of the pad, as you could hold your gun/holster with your right hand, position your rig, and then tighten up with your left hand, easy-peasy. It's like this thing was made for a lefty. (I even checked to see if I inadvertently ordered a left handed version.) My second issue is with the "belt" section. If it weren't stitched along the top edge to the backing pocket, and if one end would be held on with velcro, then you could use OWB loop holsters. But, I knew that before I bought it, so I can't really knock them for that. My final issue is with the back pad. It's nice and comfy, but it's not tall enough. (And I'm carrying a Sig P365!) The whole thing does pull in your weapon nice and tight, but that drives it into my "love handles" which isn't terribly comfortable. I end up sweating on my gun on hot days, and I have to be real careful putting it back in my holster to avoid pinching the skin on my sides. (But that's partly the holster's fault.) If the pad was just a few inches taller, it would be perfect. Don't get me wrong. This is a quality product. A little on the expensive side, but probably worth the money. In fact, I've already ordered the holster version to try. I'll probably end up Frankensteining this thing into something that works for me. I just want something I can easily throw on that is stable and comfortable for when I go for my evening walk with my wife in the forest. This belt is as close as I've gotten to the perfect rig for this purpose. Oh, and I barely printed at all in just a t-shirt and shorts.
