Belly Band Holster for Gym Carry?

[Misery Loves Shotguns]

Anyone ever use a belly band holster for concealed carry? I need SOMETHING for my carry guns for when I got to the gym. I tried using my IWB holster in my gym pants, tried pocket carry but that's not working very well.

This is what I'm looking at. Nearly 2700 reviews, nearly a 5 star average.

That's a really high rating for that many feedbacks. I've been meaning to find something else since my current IWB really cuts into my hip (and it's a Galco Sto - not exactly terrible), but didn't want to invest in a Crossbreed for just a KelTec PF9.

Just bought the one you suggested. Thanks for raising the question!

I bought one too. My wife hates having to wear pants and a belt to the range so she can use her holster. She can use this for her 92A1 we realized AND I can use it for my G2C or LC9S at the gym. Hopefully it works out for us.

It may not be fun doing squats.

You just gave him another reason to skip Leg Day.

That band is pretty bulky for gym carry.
I guess it depends how intense your workouts are and if you don't mind printing.

I have used fully elastic belly bands that are much lower profile.
No band will be super comfortable sweating in the gym or taking a run, but the elastic one is more practical if used with a small frame gun.
You need to keep it as light as possible with just a small gun and maybe your keys and a credit card/cash, but you will still print anyway.

I used one more like this: https://www.amazon.com/Yosoo-Waistba...83203008&psc=1

Too much weight added when I'm doing my 5 minute planks. That's why they put locks on lockers.

Yeah, I agree.
Mine was mostly for running.

I use a 5.11 fanny pack for the gym or wearing gym shorts without pockets.

I have that one and it works well but I suspect it will only survive one quick draw because of the way the retention strap attaches. I use it running in the river trails.


I think instead of carrying a pistol while working out at the gym, I would find a safer gym and leave it in the car or my locker.
