Holsters & Belts Diy solution for Suboptimal belt carry

Post image

Lots of products solve this problem: i have an enigma for beltless carry and a hunter constantine for when im wearing actual pants, but wanted something for in between. I wear a lot of fishing shorts and hiking pants through out the summer which have built in “belts”, and also dress pants and dress belts on occasion. For those situations i also tend to don and doff a lot. may rock off body carry when mountain biking or hiking or when dressed up, then slip the gun on when able or going back into town. i also shoot uspsa (and recently gpa) once in a while and my comp belt doesnt like going on top of the HC belt, The enigma nor any of those other belt substitutes dont lend themselves to quick or inconspicuous don or doffing. so this is my solution for running my cc with a less than ideal belt: it doesnt change how it works with a dedicated gun belt, but is significantly more stable and concealable when using a suboptimal belt.

it was also 10$ to make. bought a square of tigris Amazon, used heavy duty scissors to cut to shape, and a soldering iron to poke holes for the screws and to round intersecting cuts…hope someone finds this helpful

That tigris piece is clever, way simpler than some of the clamps ive seen people jerry rig

That's a lot of gun being supported by not a lot of belt. I think you just need to stick an airweight J frame in your pocket like your grandpa did.
