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

As advertised.

I ordered this for when I'm wearing leggings or not able to wear a belt. I wear a size 16 jeans and when I first put this on I thought it was a little snug. I've wore it a few more times since then and it is very comfortable. It sits perfect on my waste and hides well. I've noticed it shifts up a little and that is probably due to having a belly. Depending on your size and comfortability, you may want to size up. The material is very soft against your skin and you will forget it is even there. I'm happy I opted for this vs the other ones I was looking at

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.

Feels great when using.Great way to wear when in the proximity

The BravoBelt belly band holster has room for improvement. FYSA, I carry a Glock 48 MOS with a TLR-7 flashlight. My complaints with this holster are that if you have a flashlight on your EDC, it won't clear the barrel slit built into the holster and ultimately won't fit. Also, even though the holster is ambidextrous, the additional magazine slots are not. This is great for right-handed shooters, but not left handed shooters if they intend to carry ana additional magazine. The retention strap is an easy snap, with great quality and stitching work. However, just like the case with most other belly holster configurations, it has the issue of having the strap set over the pistols grip which is in the way of you obtaining a good grip without moving the strap beforehand, so we have to move that out of the way prior to drawing your pistol. Overall, if you are a Plain Jane EDC carrier who doesn't carry an additional magazine, or have an under rail attachment on your pistol, and are willing to train to overcome the strap impedement, then this is a very affordable and good option. However, if you are fine paying more for a better quality holster, I recommend searching for a belly band/kydex hybrid holster. Like what T. REX ARMs or FALCO HOLSTERS CO. makes.

word of caution order to your true size. Otherwise a good product for the price.

Just what the doctor ordered. Fit and function as described. Seller is excellent and fast at shipping. Will definitely do business with them again.

Pair this with a Bodyguard 2.0 from Smith&Wesson and you’re unstoppable. (Be sure to get the thumb safety model.)I have been wearing this every day for months. There has been some wear, but this is expected. Just buy a new one or sew it up when it breaks.
