Who uses a belly band? Thoughts?

I have a belly band style called pistol wear. It's pretty good for what it does. It's a rarely used carry method for me anymore. I used to use it jogging, and still do when I run outside. But I am looking at the Mountain People chest rigs instead for about $100.

For daily wear, I'd stick with a proper IWB or OWB holster with jeans/slacks if possible.

Pros
* Concealed abdomen carry ideal for shorts, clothing that offers no retention, or jogging and exercise
* Offers extra pocket for magazine/phone/IDs
* Deep concealment is possible, but if you really want a proper AIWB get a real holster for it.

Cons
* Some "bouncing" if you run, depending on how secure you can get it. Not a lot, but some.
* Pistol is not ultra secure, and there's no trigger cover other than soft materials that I would not trust.
* Pistol is pointed at lethal areas of your body.
* For these reasons, I never carry chambered - too much risk and serious consequences for an ND/AD.
