Belly Band Holster for Shield

[RussC]

I opened a Christmas present early. I like it especially for an active lifestyle. 22 rounds on board and only $18.95 online.

Brand: Alpha Medical. Excellent quality. It appears it was a medical devise (probably back brace) modified to be a belly band. I agree with the online reviews. This is very well made for $18.95

I wear a 38 inch pant and I selected the large which is 40 inches to 46 inches and it fits perfect. If your waist is less than 36 inches go with the medium. (It appears you need to measure your belly not waist if you go with this brand.

Thanks Russ

It so happens I ordered one of these yesterday (before you posted this) with my Shield 9 in mind. I'll see how I like it when it gets here, but it's encouraging to get a favorable review from a fellow forum member. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Where did you find this for that price?

I'll be darned. I have one under the tree myself. I'll try it in a few days. I use a different BB with a FS 9 and can wear it in any position around my waist. I know it will lose elasticity over time but for ease of conceal and cheap price I can replace it as often as I buy new socks. I got mine from amazon for about that price.

I bought the belly band on Amazon.

Only complaint, I wish they used more Velcro for the strap that holds the holster in place. I am going to the fabric store for Velcro and I will hot glue gun the extra Velcro.

Everything else is great. I really think the band is a medical devise. The label says Alpha medical.

I would caution anyone using this to wear it loose. I have worn back braces before and extended use will cause your back muscles to get weak.
