How To Choose The Best Belly Band Holster For Your Wilson Combat Classic - 5"

When you're shopping for a new Belly Band holster for you.Wilson Combat Classic - 5", knowing exactly what you want matters. If you've narrowed it down to a Belly Band holster, you're already on the right path. Below, we’ll walk you through why this carry style might be the ideal fit, how to find the best model for your body type and setup, and what materials and add-ons to consider.

Why Choose a Belly Band Holster?

Belly band holsters are versatile carry options ideal for users seeking maximum flexibility in carry position and concealment. Made from elastic or neoprene bands, they wrap around your midsection and can be worn high, low, or even cross-draw depending on your needs.

Ultimate versatility

Belly bands allow you to carry your Wilson Combat Classic - 5" in multiple positions around your torso. Whether you prefer appendix, strong-side, cross-draw, or even underarm carry, a belly band adapts to your daily routine and outfit choice.

Great for active lifestyles

If you’re running, hiking, or working out, belly band holsters keep your firearm secure against your body without shifting. Their snug fit and elastic construction reduce bounce and movement during activity.

Suitable for all body types

Belly bands come in a range of adjustable sizes, making them accessible for both slim and larger builds. Their wide wrap design helps distribute weight evenly, improving comfort for extended wear.

Deep concealment

With no belt clips or external attachments, belly band holsters provide discreet carry under almost any clothing. They’re especially useful for gym wear, leggings, or outfits without belts.

Best for compact firearms

Due to their elastic construction, belly bands are ideal for carrying subcompact or compact firearms. Larger pistols can be carried, but may feel bulky or less stable during active movement.

Comfortable and breathable

Modern belly bands are made from moisture-wicking, breathable materials to minimise sweat and discomfort, even during all-day wear in warmer climates.

Whether you need a flexible concealed carry option for everyday life or active pursuits, a belly band holster keeps your Wilson Combat Classic - 5" secure, hidden, and ready.


How to Choose the Right Belly Band Holster for Your Body and Lifestyle

Body type and fit

Choose a belly band with enough adjustability to fit your torso comfortably. Slim builds benefit from tighter-fitting bands that prevent rolling, while larger builds should look for wide bands with reinforced stitching for better support.

Gun size compatibility

For optimal comfort and security, carry compact or subcompact firearms in a belly band. Full-size pistols may cause sagging or discomfort, especially during active movement.

Carry position flexibility

Consider how you plan to carry. Belly bands can be rotated for appendix, hip, back, or cross-draw placement. Ensure the band’s holster section allows for your preferred draw angle and placement.

Retention and safety

Look for belly bands with retention straps, trigger guard coverage, or built-in molded pockets to keep your Wilson Combat Classic - 5" secure and prevent accidental discharge.

Comfort features

Choose belly bands made from breathable, sweat-resistant materials with soft edges to avoid irritation. Some models include integrated magazine pouches or phone pockets for added utility.

Handedness

Ensure your belly band setup allows for a natural draw with your dominant hand, whether carried appendix, strong-side, or cross-draw.
