The Most Versatile Way to Carry Without a Belt Carrying a concealed firearm usually requires sturdy pants and a thick gun belt—but what if you want to wear gym shorts, sweatpants, or a suit? The Rothco Ambidextrous Concealed Elastic Belly Band Holster is the solution. This wide elastic band wraps securely around your midsection, allowing you to carry your firearm comfortably regardless of your clothing choice. Whether you are going for a run, sitting at a desk, or driving for hours, this holster keeps your weapon tight against your body, eliminating "printing" and the need for belt clips.

Designed for total versatility, the holster is Fully Ambidextrous, featuring Two Pistol Slots (one on each side) so you can draw with your left or right hand—or carry two firearms at once. It accommodates a wide range of firearms, from sub-compacts to medium-frame semi-autos and revolvers. Additionally, it features Two Spare Magazine Pockets, ensuring you have extra ammo or space for a flashlight or knife. The soft, breathable elastic material ensures all-day comfort, even against bare skin.

Key Features

  • Ambidextrous Design: Features two identical gun pockets, allowing for right-hand draw, left-hand draw, cross-draw, or dual-wield carry.
  • No Belt Needed: Perfect for wearing with athletic shorts, sweatpants, skirts, or any clothing that lacks belt loops.
  • Dual Magazine Storage: Includes two slot pockets for spare mags, a folding knife, or a small flashlight.
  • Universal Fit: The elastic holster slots stretch to fit most sub-compact to medium-frame pistols (e.g., Glock 19, Shield, Sig P365).
  • Secure Closure: A heavy-duty hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure ensures the band stays tight and doesn't sag during movement.
  • Deep Concealment: Hugs the body tightly, making it virtually invisible under loose shirts or hoodies.

Why It Matters Standard IWB holsters limit your wardrobe. The belly band frees you to dress how you want while still staying protected. It is also the ultimate "backup" holster for law enforcement officers who need deep concealment under a uniform or dress shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a belly band holster over a traditional IWB holster for concealed carry?

The Rothco Ambidextrous Belly Band Holster offers unmatched versatility that rigid IWB holsters can't match. Because it's made from flexible polyester elastic, you can wear it under athletic wear, tucked shirts, or even while sitting for extended periods without the discomfort of hard Kydex or leather. The elastic construction conforms to your body shape, making it ideal for plainclothes officers, off-duty carry, or anyone who needs deep concealment without printing. Unlike traditional holsters that require a belt, this belly band works with any outfit—even gym shorts or scrubs.

Can the Rothco belly band holster accommodate both my primary pistol and a backup firearm simultaneously?

Yes! This holster features dual handgun compartments specifically designed to carry two medium-to-large frame pistols at once. This makes it perfect for law enforcement officers who need a primary duty weapon and a backup, or for civilians who want to carry different calibers for different scenarios. The ambidextrous design means you can position one firearm for strong-hand draw and another for cross-draw or weak-hand access. Plus, the two integrated pocket clips securely hold spare magazines for both weapons.

What waist sizes does the Rothco SKU 10769-SM belly band holster fit?

The SM (Small) size in SKU 10769-SM is designed for waist measurements typically ranging from 26" to 32". Rothco's wide hook-and-loop closure system provides approximately 4-6 inches of adjustment within each size range, ensuring a secure, form-fitting hold. If you're between sizes or carry appendix versus 4 o'clock position, consider that different carry positions may require different sizing. The elastic material stretches slightly for comfort but maintains retention, so measure your waist where you plan to wear the band for the most accurate fit.

Will this belly band holster work with a Glock 19 and spare magazines for duty use?

Absolutely. The Rothco Ambidextrous Belly Band is specifically designed to accommodate medium-to-large frame pistols like the Glock 19, Sig P320, or Smith & Wesson M&P. The elastic compartments provide secure retention without requiring a trigger guard lock, and the two pocket clips are perfectly sized for double-stack Glock magazines. Many law enforcement officers use this as an off-duty or plainclothes solution because it allows discreet carry under a polo shirt or jacket while maintaining quick access. The ambidextrous design means you can draw from your preferred side.

How does the Rothco belly band compare to neoprene belly band holsters for all-day comfort?

Rothco's polyester elastic construction offers superior breathability compared to neoprene belly bands, which can trap heat and moisture during extended wear. While neoprene provides cushioning, it tends to become uncomfortable in warm climates or during physical activity. The polyester elastic used in this holster wicks moisture better, dries faster, and maintains its shape over time without the "sweaty band" feeling. For first responders, security personnel, or anyone wearing the holster for 8+ hour shifts, this material choice significantly improves comfort without sacrificing the secure, form-fitting hold you need for concealed carry.
