AIKATE Upgraded Belly Band Holster for Concealed Carry, Deep Concealment Gun Holster for Men, Waist Holsters Fits for Glock 19, 17, S&W M&P Shield 9MM Most Pistols

I was exhausted looking at the different belly band style holsters for my firearm and I finally chose one that I thought suited me personally. I am a little husky(5’ 8” 230lbs) and my waist is between 38” and 40”. I have tried every style of holster out there and none of them are perfect. First and foremost, comfort is the most important and the ability to unholster my firearm and to be on target quickly is a must. Also, I feared using a belly band would cause my firearm to not sit flat on my side and would be unstable. Because of my body type, having all of these demands would be a big challenge. I looked at 50 different companies and then I whittled it down to 4 styles that I felt matched me best. My choice was the Aikate upgraded waist holster for deep concealment. I carry a Walther PPK/S .380 and is all steel so it’s heavier than most other guns in its size(3” barrel). The gun fits perfectly into the quality holster and the strap that holds it in place, has a magnetic snap that was touted to be silent and have to say, it is a very good magnet and the snap is very close to silent. I can unsnap the holster and be on target quickly. I was very surprised at the quality of this holster because it addresses all if my concerns and it exceeded all if my expectations, so far. Gun is completely secure and is a perfect fit and does not move once in the holster. It holds my firearm flat on my side with “0” printing. Very comfortable and the new style velcro is extremely strong and does not come loose even if I bend down or move a lot. Very satisfied with this waist holster and highly recommend it.

Very good material. Seems durable. Velcro is very strong. Fit my full size and lcp well. Very happy with the item. It's thicker than my last one so it slightly shows with a t shirt. But my clothing is usually a little lose so it don't bother me. I would buy again for sure.

Owned this belly band holster for just over 9 months, primarily using it for when I do cardio and a regular holster won't cut it. When new this belly band holster worked great, really allowed you to tighten it where you wanted it and would stay, even during walking and jogging. Holster at the time was purchased for my S&W Shield9, fit perfect. Currently use with a P365 with a Streamlight TLR7, I did have to undo on of the stitches on the bottom to get to seat properly and has worked excellent! The extra pocket is great for the phone, Samsung S24 Ultra fits perfectly. Over time this holster has held up and worked as it was intended and designed for, it does have 2 sections of hook on one side and the loop is one big section on the opposite end, one od the hook sections no longer grabs onto the loop (the end part which I assume holds the better part of the grip) however I do assume this is just naturally from such use as the loop part of the velcro feels kinda fuzzy and no longer allows the hook part to grab the material. Overall pleased with this product and believe I have gotten it's value out of it, being right under $20 when purchased cant complain a whole lot, just wanted to share this product review

This has been a great holster. I've used it every day for the past 2 years. It will accommodate a wide range of pistols without any issues. I did a little modification to mine such as removing the retention straps and I cut down the top of the holster a little since my daily carry doesn't have a beaver tail. Because the holster doesn't attach to your belt or trousers, you can carry full sized pistols without the weight making your pants sag. Overall it's very comfortable, versatile and worth the money.

I wear bibs most of the time and a bellyband holster is the best option. I've never really cared for a shoulder rig. I like this holster as well as any I've tried an better than most. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is that after 4 months, the Velcro is giving out. To be fair, I wear it 16 or 17 hours every day. When I first got it, the Velcro on the belt held so tight I was afraid it would rip right off the belt when I tried to take it off. The magazine pouch wasn't quite as difficult to remove but still held securely. Now, after 4 months, the magazine pouch as fallen off twice and only one of the belt closure segments still holds. It doesn't take much effort to release it. It sometimes pops open on it's own as soon as I drop the bib. I am buying another one. For $20 and a holster I actually like, it's still a reasonable purchase, even if I have to replace it every four months. I've paid more that $60 for holsters that lasted a year but that I like a lot less.

Pretty comfortable just needed to adjust it to find the perfect spot to carry my pew pew. As a somewhat plus size woman it really works well. I had purchased a thinner type band and it wouldn't stay in place. This stays in place and does not roll up or down. I would however suggest wearing a small tank top or cami under it so it doesnt rub at all. Otherwise it is perfect.

My only complaint is the magnetic button sticks out and with tighter clothes looks more visible - however the pros far outweigh that one annoyance. The belly band is super comfortable and breathable, I exercise - running , biking , working out - with it on and it stays on perfectly. Rarely do I feel like the belly band makes me sweatier , I think wearing this in the summer would be warm for sure but in the winter I love it so far. unless I am wearing a tight fitting shirt it is not noticeable. Easy to wash or fold up in my bag when not being used. Velcro and magnetic button are still going strong with me messing with them all the time. Easy draw , easy to put on and take off , not expensive - overall a good purchase

For those who CCW, this is a great product when you use active wear. Especially for the price. It’s comfortable, great fit, the holster is of good quality, easy to draw with its magnetic clip, easy to carry, and the functionality if it is great. I cannot underestimate the value of this product for the price. Even if you only use it for two months the price of having this is worth it.
