Our IWB - Inside the Waistband holsters are specifically designed to be worn inside the waistband of your pants with an untucked shirt.
They are made specific to only one (or very few similar) models so that your firearm will fit securely within the holster without any excess material used. Our .08" kydex construction ensures the durability and quality of our concealed carry holsters and provides an audible click to let you know your gun is safely secured in the kydex holster.
The reason to choose a Clip & Carry kydex gun holster is that we pay painstaking attention to the little details that make all the difference in your everyday carry such as a full length sweatshield and folded edges around the holster for added comfort.
We know everyone likes to carry differently so we make our In the Waistband holsters with all the adjustable options you can hope for such as an adjustable cant on the clip at 20 degrees either direction, adjustable retention screws to loosen or tighten the firearm retention and we even have the adjustable retention screws in the correct place for you to add a claw if you so desire.
Every sheath is handmade in the U.S.A. by a Military Veteran with painstaking attention paid to every last detail so you can be assured that your sheath will be as perfectly crafted as the firearm it carries. Clip & Carry proudly offers a lifetime guarantee on all our kydex sheaths and holsters.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sets the Strapt-Tac apart from other belly bands on the market?
The Strapt Tac belly band stands out from traditional belly bands primarily due to its sleek design optimized for practicality and comfort.
Slim Strap Design
Unlike conventional designs that wrap several inches of fabric around your waist, a minimalist belly band employs a narrow, 2-inch-wide strap. This ensures less bulk underneath your clothing while still providing support. The strap cleverly transitions into a wider section where it cradles the firearm, offering the protection you need.
Holster Compatibility
One of the most notable features of the Strapt Tac Belly Band system is the requirement to use your own holster. Most designs are tailored to work by sliding your gun into an elastic pocket of the band and then securing it with a snap or velcro strap. This leaves a dangerous situation with poor firearm security and trigger safety.
Versatile Positioning
The Strapt Tac Belly Band offers great flexibility in terms of carry positions. You can wear it strongside, cross-draw, or in an appendix position. For added versatility, it even allows for an Air Marshal-style carry, positioning the firearm under your arm similar to a shoulder holster.
Adjustable and Customizable
Another advantage is the high level of adjustability. These bands come in various sizes and are designed to fit snugly, accommodating different body types and preferences.
Simplicity Over Extras
While it may not offer extra storage for handcuffs, or flashlights, this straightforward approach often meets everyday carry needs. It focuses on keeping things simple and efficient, supporting just the essentials and includes a magazine carrier which can be worn horizontally or vertically.
In summary, the Strapt Tac belly band strips away the superfluous, offering a streamlined, versatile option for those who value discretion and ease of use in their concealed carry gear.
When is a Belly Band Especially Beneficial for Concealed Carry?
Belly bands offer a versatile option for concealed carry, proving their worth in several unique scenarios. Here's why they might be the ideal choice:
1. Exercise-Friendly Option:
For those who enjoy outdoor activities or hitting the gym, traditional holsters can often be cumbersome. A belly band fits snugly with activewear, providing a secure way to carry without the need for a belt. Whether you're jogging in shorts or cycling in leggings, these bands offer unobtrusive support.
2. Wardrobe Flexibility:
Fashion choices frequently clash with standard holsters. If you're wearing a dress, skirt, or any outfit without a belt, a belly band becomes indispensable. It supports deep concealment in styles that leave little room for more conventional options.
3. Discreet Concealment:
In situations where utmost discretion is needed, such as formal events requiring tuxedos or gowns, belly bands excel. Their design allows them to fit seamlessly under clothing, avoiding the bulk that traditional holsters may present.
4. Versatile Carry Positions:
Belly bands allow for a range of carrying positions, adapting easily to either unusual or more traditional settings. This flexibility ensures comfort and accessibility regardless of your activity or attire.
5. Gender Inclusivity:
While men might not always face clothing challenges with belts, women often encounter scenarios where a belly band is more practical. Styles like fitted dresses or high-waist bottoms pair more naturally with the customizable fit of a belly band.
While they might not be everyone's daily choice, belly bands are undeniably an efficient solution for those tricky carry situations. Keep one handy for when the need arises to adapt your concealed carry strategy seamlessly.
How is the Strapt Tac a safer option than most other belly bands?
Other belly band holsters have a negligible method of protecting the trigger from accidental discharge and offer no safe solution for gun retention other than a flimsy strap that only adds another step to remember. The STRAPT-TAC uses a patent-pending system that incorporates your IWB kydex firearm holster that provides the retention and trigger protection that you feel secure with the comfort of a belly holster (Kydex holster not included). The STRAPT-TAC Belly Band Holster can accommodate full size pistols, compact or even subcompact firearms and is compatible with all gun models.
