How to CONCEALED CARRY without Belt Loops! - Comfort Concealment Belt Review

[@NightwoodGuns]

Just want to add an additional piece of advice for you all here. When clipping your belt over your waistband, how secure it is can depend on the material of your pants and the clips on your holster. I recommend something like Discreet Carry Concept Clips or an Ulti-clip to ensure everything stays in place 👍

[@Taegashi]

I didn't realize that so many people didn't wear the clips over their waistband. To me that seems necessary, but that just goes to show that you cover all the bases with your explanations. Appreciate you bud!

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@Taegashi Yep, that’s how I’ve always done it. Just makes sense to me 👍

[@BirdieBeaman]

What kind of clips do you have on your holster in this video?

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@BirdieBeaman Discreet Carry Concepts Mod 4 Universal 👍

[@donhangani]

Thanks for the tip about putting the holster clip over the shorts. I carry wearing sweatpants and gym shorts all the time and this is something I never thought of

[@NightwoodGuns]

It’s a great way to make sure you can always get a solid grip on the gun if you need it. Keeps your waistband clear 👍

[@donhangani]

​@@NightwoodGunsI tried it today but unfortunately it didn't work. My whole holster almost dropped to the ground at a car dealership while getting service! The clips were no longer gripping firmly onto the belt once I tucked my sweatpants waistband under them, and slid off. I think I'll stick to clipping just the belt.

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@donhangani It must be the Discreet Carry Concept clips that are working well for me. I highly recommend the Universal Mod 4 DCC clips, your gun won’t go anywhere 👍

[@donhangani]

Could be the clip. Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.

[@timk2083]

This is absolutely the belt system I was looking for. People love to praise the Phlster Enigma for non-belt loop carrying, but if I'm gonna bother strapping and clipping that thing to my waist I'm probably gonna prefer to just wear jeans and a belt. I want something I can strap on under my sweats when I'm going to pick up food, or walking the dog, and this seems quick and simple enough

[@gilakry7520]

You can still go without the leg leash and they also have a quick magnetic buckle. Bit I did like the material he showed - being soft and sticky

[@NightwoodGuns]

The Phlster Enigma is what I used before this. It’s just… a lot. It takes a committed person to bolt that on and be trapped in it all day 😂 If I had to quickly toss my gun on to run out the door I would toss my jeans on vs. the Enigma because I had to remove my shorts/sweats anyway. This is a great and simple option that keeps everything consistent 👍

[@mmafanatic-tz5or]

​@@NightwoodGunsToo expensive. it's $194 stated on their website then shipping and tax brings it to $221. If you try to add even the $38 sports belt, it adds up to $259. also subscribed to their newsletter and constantly checked during blk Friday week and also checked during Christmas. No sales whatsoever. The last time they did sales was a year ago and I'm guessing they needed to get rid of inventory. They do have less holster options which is FACTS And you have to find a secondary compatible holster to run with their enigma 0S which needs assembling once it ships. Their enigma is $94 ~$100. All the holster companies that are compatible with the enigma have their holster starting at $80 and if it's light bearing, closer to $100. So essentially if you have a PDP with a light, you'll spend $100 on the holster and $100 on the enigma 0S which adds to at least $200. So after $200 plus, you still need to assemble and build your enigma when it arrives. So enigma Os, $200 plus and enigma express, $200 plus. Their holster should cost $130 max ($80 for the holster and $50 for the belt and grey face plate).

[@RT-qz5ci]

The phlster enigma is so uncomfortable. I hate that holster. And im mad i listened to all the hype and bought it

[@CountryTortoise]

Yeah the enigma seems more structured for an all day carry situation, not quick runs to the store in your lounge clothes

[@AllanMRR]

I've been using my Tenicor Zero Belt underneath my gym shorts. On the belt is my XMacro w TLR 7 Sub and EPS Carry, along with 1 spare magazine. Holster and mag pouch by 4Brothers. This system works well for me. The gun and holster is very secure underneath my shorts. It's also easy to remove and put back on after my workout.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Very nice! That absolutely works. This is basically just the slightly more comfortable version of that belt 👍

[@MrAkaPro]

yep I do the same. often with a optic cut czp01 or g43x in a tenicor holster with abdo spare mag. I'll carry my keys and fixed blade all on my waist, just as I normally would with jeans. I do wonder if this would actually be more comfortable for physical activities though? The zero is incredibly rigid

[@daddycheese]

So you clip your holster onto your belt and your pants??

[@mevans313]

For me, carrying in gym shorts or sweatpants usually meant sizing down from my P365 Xmacro with a 407K and TLR-7A to my plain P365X. It’s small and light enough to not drag my pants way down. The key for me has really just been to buy pants with strong waistbands and/or strong drawstrings. This usually lets me carry smaller handguns perfectly fine with no belt. I like all my holsters to have the DCC monoblock metal clips, those hold onto belts or plain fabric perfectly. Never had one slip off during a draw when belt-less. If I ever want to carry my xmacro (or even even a full sized shadow 2 if I hate myself enough that day!) I’ll throw my Nexbelt EDC belt underneath my pants and use it much like you did the belt in this video. It usually makes my waistline a little bulky so I may still give this belt a try and see how it helps with concealment. For $40 you really can’t go wrong! Thanks for the video, always look forward to an upload from ya!

[@NightwoodGuns]

Right on, thanks for sharing your experience 👍 Like you said, the main draw of this is that it’s affordable compared to other belts. I just love how stupid simple it is and I don’t have to make sacrifices with what I can carry. For 40 bucks I’m very pleased 😎

[@Itzryan288]

[@NightwoodGuns]

[@svbarryduckworth628]

I use my same holster and my same Kore Essentials belt when when I wear bottoms without loops. The inside of the belt is comfortable enough on the skin and I wear my underwear up high anyhow so my belt is over that just like it is when I wear regular pants or shorts. No need for any specific belt for this. Use what already works with your pants. It's good that you mentioned putting the clips over the garment. Not onlu does it keep the waistband from riding up over the grip but it also keeps the whole belt and holster from riding up during the draw. This is why the enigma holster system from phlster needs a crotch strap.

[@NameQuestUSA]

Great review on a product I was unaware of until now.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Glad you enjoyed 😎👍

[@kimurasquirrel]

If you wore the HC1 belt the same way, How would you compare 1 and the other? It seems like there are 4 main choices with price ranges that are massive quite spread. Some people use the HC1 as a under pants belts without beltloops just like the comfort concealment. It seems like the only belt you have not done a review on is the mastermind tactics covert belt. Since you have 3 of the 4 choices already with video reviews, might I suggest that you do a comparison review between the 4 choices for beltless carry? That would be $200+ enigma, $100+ HC1 belt, $40 comfort concealment belt, $25 mastermind tactics covert belt. I have tried all 3 except the comfort concealment belt, and my choice currently would be the enigma, and the super secret option... a smart carry with a kydex holster attached to it with DCC clips ;p Will give the comfort concealment belt a shot, and return for 5 dollar shipping if it doesn't work out for me. I found the HC1 belt too stiff at the front enough to dig into the front of my hip bones, not to mention it also required clips to show on the outside to have any form of retention. Though it would be the most versitile as it also works well as a regular belt. The enigma is the most comfortable, stable, and "serious" option. However its a not very adaptable, universal, versitile option, and is impractical to to don/off. The mastermind found dug into my hips from the side, tho many people love that belt and at such a cheap option. I found it wasn't well cushioned enough for the weight bearing load as compared to say a enigma with a sport belt. People also need to test these options while running and it may or may not work out for them. I see you did do some running in place though, that same feeling may be different for say a 5 mile run. Thanks for the reviews!

[@readlesspraymore4686]

How'd you like the belt? What are you using currently?

[@kimurasquirrel]

@@readlesspraymore4686 Didn't like the comfort concealment. I didn't feel like there was enough difference of justify how it was designed. It also wasn't steady though and had to be sync down harder as a result. IMO there is no comparison between them all compared to a philster enigma with a sport belt. It allows great stability without having to crank down on your belt. That includes the HC1, I didn't like the metal rigidity in the front of the HC1 it gave me the hulahoop effect despite being elastic in the back. Also the enigla allows you to carry deeper and its curved to create a V shape in front of the hips, where as a belt is perfectly horizontal.

[@readlesspraymore4686]

@@kimurasquirrel Have you seen the VNSH holster? What are your thoughts? I was gonna give it a try first.

[@kimurasquirrel]

@@readlesspraymore4686 Not even in the same ballpark. Now only is the smart carry lower profile, but the whole point is that it could be modified to put a kydex holster with it making it a lower profile philster enigma. Though the enigma is still more stable and versatile despite costing 2-3x as much.

I "conceal" carry with an EDC low-profile fanny pack from Ex Umbris. Under most winter clothes (sweatshirt, jacket, flannel) it's undetectable. In the summer I like to sling it around my shoulder and nobody gives me any looks because slung shoulder pouches seem to be what a lot of people are doing nowadays to carry their wallet and keys and such.

I have a belly band holster that I bought to carry my Shield Plus, but it wasn’t great for my body type. My J-frame revolver works much better in the holster. I like this belt option, but my one concern is the logistics of using the restroom.

[@NightwoodGuns]

I definitely tested this in the restroom 👀 When it’s time to clown with brown, I pull down my pants, lift the whole belt/holster up my torso (like I demonstrated for ladies in the video) pull down my underpants, carpet bomb the bowl, (wipe) and then put everything back in place. It’s not too bad, at all. 👍

[@christiantena3262]

You should review the pistol light carry wing.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Maybe, but I’m not a fan of it on paper. Most competition gas pedals are further back on the frame and that’s what makes them effective. You really have to crank your wrist forward to reach that X300 wing. I don’t see it offering much of an advantage on target or timer. I might give it a chance, though.

When you mentioned "Harness", I immediately thought of my Enigma + floodlight2 setup. I personally like this because there's a "leash" which keeps the holster from riding higher, and there's no requirement of any clips. Also, Phlster has been so great in terms of providing support to their customer, and they have a wealth of knowledge around concealment. However, I do see the benefit of just having a separate belt system and then using your favorite holster...I've been seeing these concealment belts recently including the T1 HC belt, and am now curious to pick one up.

[@saintmichael753]

Good review. Quick question on ports & comps for EDC. I understand everyone says ports and comps are louder. Is it enough to affect shooting performance or handicap the shooter in any way? Since you still get hearing damage from shooting a non comped or ported gun without hearing protection, do you think it really matters? Always been a concern of mine for an EDC gun and I don't think I've ever found any hard data on this where someone ran actual tests with a decibel meter or anything.

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@saintmichael753 I guess it depends on whether or not you’re a sissy 😉🤣 Nah, I have buddies who cleared buildings with M249s. Auditory exclusion is real. But, if you just happen to have sensitive anatomy and you shoot in an enclosed vehicle I suppose it’s possible to rupture an eardrum. But I don’t think ports or comps would be the deciding factor in that. People don’t hesitate to run rifles, shotguns, 10mm, or magnum revolvers for defense… but the second you mention porting or comping a 9mm they panic. Permanent hearing loss will occur, but as long as you don’t get into gunfights regularly it is unlikely to alter your life. 👍

Have you tried to wear the EDC-S belt in the same fashion?

So this is right up my alley as most of the time when I'm carrying I'm usually wearing basketball shorts, or something similar without belt loops. The way I been carrying since day 1 is with a standard Grip6 Belt. I love the Grip6 Belt because it's durable and low profile. There is no velcro, ratchets, or clips where potential failure points can arise. It's simply just a nylon belt with a small metal buckle that uses friction to hold itself in place and you can make it as tight as you need. I wear this under my shorts just like you would with the Comfort Concealment Belt, but you can also wear it as a normal belt within your belt loops of your pants. I also have a Kore belt, and I honestly never wear it because the Grip6 belt hold my pants and gun just fine and is much more comfortable. It's also about just as much as the Comfort Concealment Belt. The only thing I would say is it would be nice to have some of the same gel like comfort in the inner part of the belt like the Comfort Concealment Belt, but I've been wearing the Grip6 for going on 5-6 years with no complaints (the same one every day). Also there are tons of different color buckles and belts so you can mix and match to your hearts content.

The Comfort Concealment is easier on/off, lighter weight and more comfortable. But it isn’t as sturdy and doesn’t do well in belt loops. It is purpose built to be worn how I demonstrated. The Hunter Constantine belt is more durable, sturdier, and works great with or without belt loops. It can pull double duty even if it doesn’t excel as much as the Comfort Concealment belt does at carrying without belt loops.

I've traditionally used the discreet carry concept clips. I swap them out on all of my holsters. It works Bentleys but I have to tighten some Nike shorts uncomfortably tight for it to work. Is this going to hurt the hips after a few hours of something like hiking?

[@NightwoodGuns]

Yeah, DCC clips are my favorite and they work great combined with this belt 👍 And no, this belt has never hurt my hips on hikes. It’s very comfortable, in my opinion.

Do I need the belt andddd the tail tab? Or can I just use the belt alone without the tail tabs? Thats mentioned on the website

I ordered with the tail tab, but I never use it.

[@davidvargas6080]

How does it compare to the Hunter Constantine belt?

[@NightwoodGuns]

HC Belt is much sturdier and higher quality. Night and day difference. I prefer the comfort concealment for dedicated “no belt loop carry” and nothing else. (It is very comfortable, lightweight, and breathable) but it sucks to run it like a normal belt. The HC Belt is a “do everything” belt. It is a great option both with and without belt loops, but it’s slightly more cumbersome than the comfort concealment running it without loops.

[@davidvargas6080]

@@NightwoodGuns Thanks for sharing, I picked up a Hunter Constantine belt and after trying it I just ordered another one and all I can say is this is way better and simpler that what I have been using.

[@NommyTox]

Love the berserk hoodie

[@NightwoodGuns]

Thanks 😎👍⚔️

[@halfaron]

Do you prefer this to the Tier 1 EDC-S for this purpose? Which would be better for carrying with a tucked in shirt? I’d like to avoid the holster clips showing on my belt with a tucked in shirt. Thanks!

[@NightwoodGuns]

I also did an older video on carry with a tucked in shirt, but I might redo it with this belt. That being said, both belts would work just fine. I prefer the comfort concealment one for special use like this since it is purpose-built to be thinner/more comfortable. But the EDC-S/Hunter Constantine Belt can be used decently enough for this purpose and also excels as a normal EDC belt. Here’s how I would personally carry tucked in: comfort concealment belt under your pants, a holster with Discreet Carry Concepts “Gear” clips (whatever height your holster needs) and clip the clips over your pant line (over this belt) and hide the gear clips behind your dress belt, then tuck your shirt in over the gun/holster. That would give you a very secure setup while tucked in. Another option is the Phlster Enigma if you don’t mind being locked into a contraption.

[@SMH365]

@@NightwoodGuns I was leaning towards the T1C EDC-S because of the attachment features. Do you trust the Velcro of the CC versus the G-hook and loops of the Hunter/T1C belt?

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@SMH365 The Velcro will eventually fail after a long time. But you’ll easily get your 40 bucks out of the belt way before that ever happens. That being said, the EDC-S is extremely overbuilt. Depends on how often it will be on/off and how hard you are on your gear. The EDC-S excels with belt loops but can be used without. The Comfort Concealment excels without belt loops, but can be used with.

[@MustafaKhan-gs9wf]

Honestly this is cool, but you can do the same with the HC Belt. I have one and have been doing this since I got it. Super comfortable and it doesn’t move. I even put my arrowhead tactical sweats away because this just works better IMO. To each his own!

[@NightwoodGuns]

I love the HC belt, but when it’s not in belt loops it bounces with my 2011 w/WML and spare mag during movement. It also occasionally slips in the front on the draw since it isn’t as “sticky” as this one. I prefer this for no belts loops, but the HC is still legendary and can definitely do both 👍

[@TacticalJay.]

@@NightwoodGunsthis might be a dumbass question but does the comfort concealment belt fit into belt loops ?

How long does it take for the Velcro to wear out?

[@NightwoodGuns]

As long as any other quality Velcro product.

[@KnifeNinjaEDC]

I have two phlster enigmas. They let me deep conceal and regular conceal with ease and I wear them from morning until bedtime with no comfort issues. Quickly taking them off isn’t the fastest but with the level of comfort, concealment options and the amount of good PHLster has done for the 2a community I’m glad to use the product. This concealment belt looks nice, much better than just a bare belt and is priced well.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Great points 👍

[@Language-Game]

Great video. Short, but smart.

[@NightwoodGuns]

😎👍

[@TopDonBarrow]

Do you absolutely have to put the holster clips over the belt and waist of pants/shorts? I was thinking of putting the holster clips only over the belt itself to be 100% concealed.

[@NightwoodGuns]

Nope, you don’t have to do that. Just be aware that if you don’t, your pants can ride up and cover the grip throughout the day. Also, if you don’t have the belt tight it can cause the belt to ride up your torso on the draw. But you can make do without 👍

I’m thinking of buying this exact carry setup with the bul edc 4.25, just unsure how concealable this gun will be for my size. What’s your height and weight if you don’t mind me asking 😂

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@ohmanbeautiful I’m only 5’8” and 140 🤣 But the Bul does have a long grip. If you aren’t used to concealing something that size, then it is definitely a risk.

[@ryanintro]

love your vids man and I hope you keep growing! QUESTION: is the XC your main EDC? I ask since im contemplating buying a c2 or P to edc aiwb but a fullsize just seems too big to aiwb, but i like the concept of doing it. let me know your thoughts!

[@NightwoodGuns]

I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! 😎👍 I carried the XC for over a year and now I’m carrying the Bul Armory SAS II TAC (another full size 2011) I should probably do a full video on my transition from micro carry guns to full size pistols… but short answer: it’s not for everyone and you won’t know if it’s for you until you try it. I experimented with cheap striker guns to find the right holster, shirts, and sweet spot on my body for full size concealment. When I started carrying 2011s I started with the C2 and graduated to the XC. So that would probably be the safe bet. But if you can play with something G19 size and something G17 size before committing, that would be the best case scenario before investing in a Staccato for carry. If you can’t do that, then I’d just recommend the C2 to be safe 👍

[@МыколаНетребко]

is the velcro reliable for long term?

[@nathancornell9584]

Interesting choice, have you heard of/reviewed the Phlster Enigma by chance?

[@NightwoodGuns]

That’s what I ran before this. It’s a great product… it’s just… a LOT to put on and take off. And once it’s on, you are trapped in it until you can pull your pants down 😂

[@FilthyFirearms]

Would you recommend this over the Hunter Constantine Carry belt? (I wear basketball shorts 95% of the time living in Texas)

[@NightwoodGuns]

Both work in this role. This one is a little more comfortable (and affordable) for dedicated “no belt loop” carry. The HC Belt is a jack of all trades that works with and without belt loops.

[@jsushh]

You can do this also with the tier 1 HC belt

[@NightwoodGuns]

Yep, it’s just triple the price and it gets a bit bouncy with my setup when it isn’t run through belt loops. The HC Belt is legendary, but I prefer this one for this specific application. The HC belt absolutely works in a pinch, though 👍

This is what I wear when working out so it’s seen plenty of sweat. It’s breathable and light, but it’ll absorb some sweat. If it gets really bad I just clean it with soap and water but that’s a rare occurrence.
