Bellyband kydex insert mod

[goteron]

I picked up two Kahr's (CW9 and CM9) for gym shorts carry. If I have a belt on, I carry a full size gun, but that wasnt practical when in gym shorts. I played around with a million different gym shorts type holsters until I finally settle on the Galco Underwraps Bellyband. It fit my needs and did everything I wanted it to, with the exception of 3 things. 1. There was no hard trigger guard cover (It seems there has never been a problem with this, I just couldnt get there for appendix carry) and 2. The gun sat too low in the band to get a good firing grip, the gun would shift, etc). 3. The gun was too loose in the band when taking it off.

I played around with a bunch of ideas and settled on this, its not exactly what I want, but it solves those three problems.

I molded a small kydex insert around just the trigger guard and affixed it to the inside of the bellyband with some velcro. The draw is much better and consistent, the gun clicks into place and is held at the proper height. It also gives me some piece of mind that is only mental on my part.
