Reviews & Ratings for Elite Survival Systems Core-Defender Belly Band Holsters — 22 reviews — Page 1

I probably could have gone a size down but this is a great product. It's replacing a "belly band" that I picked up once at the local gun store which wasn't holding up. This product looks and feels like it will be great.

Works well, used on several hikes, carries small automatic pistol and one magazine comfortably and securely. Easily adjustable, also tucked in a boot knife as well. Doesn't seem to print, very discreet. Lots of pockets, some open thru for things like knives or a small flashlight with a clip. Keeps you from weighing down your pockets with heavier items.

Bought this because review said PT145 fit very well. It will not stay in belt!!! Gun fell out twice, both times in store parking lots. Threw belt away, does not hold gun, and not worth running gun. Would not recommend.

I have used this with my glock 19 and sig p250 (same grip module as p320). It holds guns this size close to my side, securely covers the whole trigger guard and conceals well on my skinny frame (6'2" 195). The pic rail on the Sig catches on the draw, and while it's still usable i would not practice drawing with this gun because I'm sure it would fray the holster eventually. The smoother Glock accessory rail does not have this problem.

Im careful holstering with this because the thin fabric could fold under a finger and potentially enter the trigger guard. If you are in the habit of "looking your gun into the holster" this should be no concern.

I haven't tried the accessory pockets for a spare magazine yet.

Any time i wear track pants, I'll be using this holster.

I drive a cab and have a frozen shoulder. The Elite let's me switch positions easily when sitting or standing. It's more comfortable as I can change the height of the gun and still conceal in summer clothes.

This is a great holster, you get good quality "not a cheep make " holds up to a MP45 Shield great plus mags, I would recommend this holster, plus it's latex free. it will fit a Karh cw45, Sig 25045 Bersa Thunder45, so all the compact 45 and smaller frame guns

I purchased this item as it looked more substantial than older types that did not work so well. The best fit among my pistols is one of our pair of S&W LadySmith compact revolvers held in the right hand cross-draw pocket. Most photos I see of 'belly bands' show the band worn low, even tucking under the waist band a bit. I wear this band higher so that the butt of the pistol is maybe 4in below the armpit. This places the pistol near to a shoulder holster position. I am 5ft/11in and 165lbs. In relaxed use, the butt of the pistol tends to lean forward in the pocket, allowing the butt to print through your shirt, an undesireable event. A little work with the sewing kit and 4-5 short lines of stiches now holds the pistol firmly in a vertical position with no print through. These pockets can be easily brought to a custom fit for whatever in this manner. I wear this band over a tee shirt and under a flannel shirt. The band sticks to the tee shirt and never slips. With the top 3 flannel buttons open the grip is easily accessed in cross-draw. I have worn this rig for at least a week now from the couch to snow removal and it stays in place with no movement and enough comfort to forget about it. Family has so far not detected it. Highly recommended as modified!

Very nice material and feel. Like it very much, have to get another one for my spouse or as a gift.
good workmanship and sewing. This is a well made belt for any type of clothing or activity. The fact that
it can be positioned any where on the belt line is a great feature.

Of all the fancy holsters I've got... I find myself wearing the Core-Defender Belly Band more than all of them combined. Easy to put on and take off... AND simple to adjust for maximum comfort after inserting my weapon. This is an EXCELLENT purchase!

I ordered one for my girlfriend and she loves it. very comfortable to wear, holds the gun secure, a pouch for a spare magazine, and conceals very well under light closing. I tried hers on and licked it so well I ordered one for me.
