As a woman, I rarely wear a belt. Is this holster feasible and sturdy enough to wear inside the pants and not have to wear a belt?

I sent this holster back because it was uncomfortable and the stiff leather wore the laser buttons right off after only 2 uses. In addition it was so stiff that I literally could not get the gun out safely. I had to use two hands and tug hard. Not good for a self defense situation.

Hi. I've had no problem wearing this without a belt. I find that the clip hold well and does not slip. I personally like it and would purchase another one if I needed one. Hope you like it as much as I do. Good luck.

yes. i do wear a thin belt sometimes and it works ok. the thicker or wider the belt the better. i have tried wearing it without sometimes with jeans. its a little wobbly. kinda like it might flip out. the gun is light and easy to carry. i have an uncle mikes cloth holster. i do use it without a belt. it much better. but the gun is not as secure in it vs the tagua.

Very sturdy, I wear it with board shorts to the beach all the time. No need for a belt.

No. I don't wear a belt with my shorts or my jeans and the holster works great. It is a high quality leather holster and the clip is very strong. It will not come off when installed onto your pants.

There is nothing particularly manly about it that would preclude female use, but I think it is probably designed for male customers. It is wider and thicker than common female belts, but the width and thickness are necessary to support a firearm, whether you are male or female.

No. It doesn't have a belt holster, but unlike foam based cases, you won't have to struggle to take it out of your pocket.

Not really... It's designed with an index finger button release. Theoretically, you could reverse the holster and put the holster in your pants, but not really designed as a conceal carry holster. Probably better to use if you had a coat over it, as it is not overly bulky.

I think it depends on how tight your pants are. I wear a comfortable fit and the outline isn't a problem. But the holster is so comfortable I usually slide it in at my waistband.

The paddle is designed to be worn inside the waistband with the holster portion exposed. I have worn mine without a belt but if the waistband is too loose it will tend to pull the pant (or shorts) down a bit. Also keep in mind that the weight of the firearm will dictate how tight the waistband will need to be. My LCP and LC9 are fairly lightweight but carrying my 1911 .45 or one of my Sigs with my Fobus holsters requires a firm belt.

A paddle holster doesn't depend on belt width - it clips over the waistband of you pants (and belt). So belt width - or no belt at all, isn't a factor.

I use it for everyday carry. When wearing slacks, it is a too bulky. For jeans, no problems. I just ordered the Recon mini for days that I have to wear slacks.

The clip slides over the belt, very secure, so much so that I usually just slide my belt through the clip. Not to bad sliding the holster on but taking it off without sliding the belt out is a little tuff, however the holster stay's put.

Not exactly, no. The slot for a belt is 1 1/2 inches. My guess is you could force it, it would just pull down the top of your pants a little (since the top of the pants is what carries the weight, not the belt). I'd recommend either getting a narrower belt, or going with a different holster. (For the record, this is a good little holster, though.)

You can wear it without a belt but the holster is not as stable. I always wear a belt when wearing the holster.

Nope. I was actually quite surprised at how much I like this holster. Will be ordering another.

I think you would be happy the way stays looped thru your belt. It's easy to pull it if the situation arises. I think you will like the way it sits on your hip . thanks and good luck and good riding.

It CAN be, but that depends on your outerwear preference. It is too hard for applications inside the waist and. The holster is tough and durable, but if you intend to wear it outside waist and and center back, it would be great for concealment, provided you coat is long enough.

Mariela,it won't really clip to your belt. I wear it inside just in front of my left hip and use it as a cross draw. So far it is fine. I imagine that you could slip it around to your right hip,but once past your hip bone toward your back it would seem to me to be an awkward draw.

Hello, this works and fits so nice that you don't even need a belt. With that being said, if you wear a belt on a regular basis the belt would go between the holster and the back part that hugs your hip. The back part that hugs your hip always goes on the inside of your pants. I hope this helps, Kevin......
