Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best belt for concealed carry with formal attire?

For formal attire, a reinforced leather gun belt like the 1.25-inch Kore Essentials model is recommended. Using a thin inner belt underneath, such as the Comfort Concealment Blackout belt, helps prevent printing from holster clips when tucking in a shirt.

How can I prevent my belt buckle from printing when carrying concealed?

A common technique is to position the belt buckle sideways instead of centered, especially when carrying in the appendix position. This minimizes the bulk directly over the holster and reduces the likelihood of printing.

What firearm is recommended for concealed carry in this video?

The video features the Smith & Wesson Shield Plus Carry Comp Performance Center, a 9mm pistol known for its suitability for concealed carry, paired with an Eclipse Holster.

Are there specific belts for carrying a firearm with athletic wear?

Yes, for athletic wear like gym shorts, specialized belts such as the Comfort Concealment Blackout or the Constantine Carry Blim belt are suggested. These are worn inside the shorts to provide a solid mounting point for holster clips.
