Wearing Holsters & Skipping Belt Loops?
A question here about wearing holsters right on your hip (I assume this would be the 3:00 or 6:00 position?) - to accommodate the holster, is it normal to skip the belt loop with your belt?
I received my new Beltman holster today (great product), and it seems to hold my Kramer Scabbard/P228 just fine without using the side belt loop. But I don't know if I'm asking for trouble this way. |

Guess it depends on the pants, with my levis I'm able to use all of the belt loops and I'm sure that this would be preferable.

If there is a loop between the holster loops or holes I thread the loop in the middle. I like the added support.

Never had a problem using all loops, out of one loop into one side of holster threw belt loop and out otherside of holster into another loop. Then again I do wear a 38 waist.

That should pretty much take care of this question. Thanks for the reply. |

I press the back of my holster against a belt loop as it seems to increase stability and reduce movement.

On a different note, when I pocket carry my j frame in my 511 pants (no I'm not tacticool, I'm cheap; they're old work pants) the waistband sags as the pants have no loop at 3 or 9, exposing my tucked shirt, or worse, underwear. Also adds to the "play" factor when I OWB.

With the CZ I skip one belt loop carrying OWB at 3:30-4:00. NO big dieal to me, never had an issue.
