The device that facilitates the secure and covert transportation of a firearm on one’s person is a specialized type of waist support. For example, an individual utilizing such equipment might choose a reinforced leather model designed to prevent sagging under the weight of a handgun.
The implementation of a purpose-built support structure offers several advantages, including enhanced comfort, improved firearm retention, and minimized printing (the visible outline of the weapon beneath clothing). Historically, adaptations of standard belts were used, however, these frequently lacked the necessary rigidity and stability for prolonged concealed carry.
