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

This is an amazing invention for carrying concealed. Makes it easy to want to go out with your firearm on you! Quality Velcro and neoprene. No poking at your hips etc that you get from regular holsters. Comfortable and able to carry extra magazines. Truly super happy with this purchase

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!

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.

Perfect fit for my Walther PPQ pepper projectile pistol I carry when I walk my dog, I live in a semi rural area, and we have lots of different potentially dangerous animals around, the bravo belt allows me to carry it comfortably without alarming any neighbors or other people I may run across on our walk. The only issue I have, the slot for a phone is too small for my phone in the case, which doesn't really matter to me, as I carry my phone in a belt holster, but anyone with an s25 ultra and a rugged case, who plans on carrying it in this belt, may want to consider other products.

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.

Fine product. Easy to use. Carries well and secure the various items. Not bulky. Velcro very strong

VERY comfortable,it holds my Glock plus 2 mags,a knife my cell phone. I feel I could wear this all day long with no discomfort! It can be adjusted for left or right handed use. Also can be adjusted for cross pull.back pull. LOVE IT!

I was going to go with the Comfortac band but decided to go with this because the quality just seemed to be a bit higher and I wasn’t disappointed. The stitching is well done, holster is flexible to hold different pieces with a nice trigger cover and it really is as versatile to wear as they say (I was skeptical). You can wear it low, at belly, high, rotate to any position and it’s actually really comfortable. Not a fan of retention straps but this one is just about perfect, tight enough to keep it from falling out but the retention is light enough to pop right off when clearing the shirt on a draw. Clearing the released strap on draw takes some getting used to, so definitely get some practice in before taking it for a test drive. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I got the XL size per Bravo Belt recommendation of being within 2” of a 44”+ belly and now I have too much excess so the band overlaps right under the holster which adds bulk and increased printing. Would be cool if I could swap this one for their normal size band but I doubt they’ll let me do that. *My personal advice* if your belly is under 46”, get the regular sized band as the XL creates too much bulk for those who don’t actually need the extra length.
