With all the various ways to CC a pistol (or revolver), my belly-band trials indicated
to me that my standard method of carry (IWB) is/was the best
for me.
When out of the house and the "need" arises, it's a simple matter to sit down, pistol in the holster and just let it lay folded over on my pants while they're in the 'down' position. Been doing it that way for over 30 years, and see no reason to change. I've read some very entertaining stores of both CC guys and even LEO's leaving their gun in the stall, forgetting it, dropping it in the stall, having it slide off the paper holder, etc. If you check, there's a plethora of stories related to this very subject.
Nothing wrong with the belly-band method of carry, we all have our proven methods, but it's just not for me, as I never found it to be very comfy during daily activities. And the belly-band pretty much precludes the carry of a full-size combat pistol, at least for me.
Even my full-size Browning Hi-Power rides nicely in my Privateer Leather IWB rig, and it's a five incher:
The upside to all this, is the fact that in today's marketplace, we've got beaucoup choices, and that's a good thing!
But I'll also freely admit that if carry in shorts and a tank top is the primary method of clothing for hot or summer carry, the belly-band does indeed have a place when wearing a belt is not on the agenda. Where I live, that would be less than a three month period.
But as others have mentioned, let us know how it works out after a few months of carry. Interesting subject.
