Stache N.A.C.H.O Belly Band, Low Profile Belly Band for Concealed Carry

I am an active LEO and wear a firearm every day. Much of my time is in plainclothes, and I have struggled to find CCW items that are acceptable and safe carry for someone who actually needs certain things on the weapon, including a weapon light 24x7. (IE, you should not be drawing and shooting at things you cannot see, lest you shoot something that you should not shoot). Every belly band to date that I have tried does not have room for a weapon light. Most have awful retention of the weapon, which really is not appropriate, whether you are doing exercise or actually working where you need retention. This is the first product where I have seen a belly band, and you can use your own kydex IWB or OWB holster to attach to the belly band. It really works; and it really holds it tightly. This solves all the problems outlined above, because it will hold your weapon light, and of course is designed for retention. This product is truly transformative for me. I am now able to wear sweatpants, or track pants, or other athletic wear, while also carrying my duty weapon, light on, and being perfectly secure and retained at all times. If you are looking for any type of athletic or non-belt carry, you need to buy this Blackhawk Bellyband right now.

Highly recommend this if you want to carry concealed and still be comfortable. I use this off duty. Comes in handy when you're wearing pants or shorts that doesn't have belt loops. I find it to be safer than your normally designed belly band holsters, especially when reholstering.

For my first belly band this is a very good product. It's just a little awkward placement for the velcro which can be secured on your front and then turn the belt to your rear or just secure it blindly behind you. It's pretty comfortable if worn with clothes protecting the skin because it will rub and cause irritation. I can easily conceal by 9 mil S&W MP, it can be a little bulky if you add an extra mag or two but other than that super easy to use, i just might size up because this is kinda like a waist trainer in a way so it pushes all my fat down lol.

Every 2A advocate has the same problem. How to safely secure a firearm in a way that permits quick and easy access. I have not found a single holster that is a one and done, which is why I have multiple holsters; each holster serves a specific need. In the belly band lineup there are a lot of options, but the N.A.C.H.O Belly Band is my choice and here’s why. Pros - It will pair it with your own IWB or any other IWB holster. - It has an incredibly secure piece of 1.5” nylon webbing where your holster attaches. - The band is made from a double layer scuba belt (not neoprene like others). This is made to last and not stretch out over time. - integrated pockets to carry extra magazines, so there is no need to use Velcro affixed magazine holders. Cons - While the Velcro is secure and it fits perfectly, it could have a little more Velcro to allow more adjustment. - Runs small, order one size up. Comparison to other belly band holsters - Other belly band holsters are made with a neoprene material which will stretch out over time and retain in heat - especially in the summer. - You have to rely upon their system to secure your firearm which is basically a stretchy cloth pouch, and as a result it’s not nearly as secure as pairing with an IWB holster because this area also stretches out. Conclusion This belly band runs small. I would order one size up. I am saying this because I originally ordered the size according to the size chart and had to order a size up and now I have a belly band that fits perfectly with a IWB holster that safely secures a firearm in a way that permits quick and easy access. Definitely give the N.A.C.H.O Belly Band a try.

I bought this to use while wearing sweats or shorts, and it is durable, secure, and accommodates whatever holster I used. I’ve tried other “belly bands” but they were cheap and flimsy. I prefer this belly band, because it allows me to use my preferred holster with it. Also, because it allows me to use my preferred holsters, there’s little to no muscle memory changes when drawing.

It is solid quality but I do not have a flat stomach. I have love handles and prefer to carry at 3-430. I put the band on and used their IWB holster for my Hellcat and it supports it well. The issue is the strap that holds the holster is low and the Hellcat will not sit in holster all the way down without alot of work. Once you get it seated in blocks a clean draw. I love the idea of their system because I like to wear athletic shorts and joggers alot but even though the product is quality it doesn't work well for my body type (6'1 245lbs)!

You'll love this if you want to be comfortable all day long. It's lightweight, and feels good around my waist. It's a little tight in the beginning but after a few times it becomes like a comfortable old pair of jeans. It's great for CCW no printing with a light shirt.

I've tried a few belly band holsters. I was not happy with soft ones as they are unsafe. This one is the best one I have found that holds my kydex holster so that it has adequate trigger protection and it's much safer for reholstering. It prints slightly compared to my holster with my jeans and belt, but not enough to make me worry if I do wear it out and about (also, not nearly as much printing as my Vnsh holster).
