| I've tried various combinations of pants and belts to carry my Walther Q4 SF for edc. I can carry it reasonably comfortably but it eventually drags the waistline down. I was thinking of a suspender system to alleviate the issue. Preferably a setup built with edc in mind. I typically carry at 3 o'clock but occasionally aiwb. Anything out there that would meet these requirements? A wider/cushioned shoulder strap would be great as well. |
| I like Perry's suspenders, the clip goes under your belt, so no damage to the belt. I wear an Atlas Volund gun belt, so not the narrowest of belts and the suspender clip will work with that. |

I just got in these today. I will try to report back later. Melo Tough Tactical Suspenders... Melotough tactical suspenders Edit - update. I like them but Im 6ft and big belly/ chest. They don't have much left to go any bigger. But with a good ratchet belt they feel great with my IWB 4" 1911. Very secure. |

| Thank you OP and contributors. When I was younger I wore military issue suspenders under my blouse because I didn’t have big enough hips for a belt to be effective. Now that I’m older I have a spare tire that keeps pushing down my damned belt. This thread is very relevant to my interest. I have a use for both sources of suspenders mentioned here. |

Yep im built like an upside down triangle with no butt lol. The suspenders that support the belt and a nice carry belt and I've solved my carry woes. It's been time I figure it out. I had a issue happen last week that pushed me to solve my carry issues. |

Here's a thread from the tactical gear subforum, might be helpful. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Armory/Looking-for-some-flat-unpadded-suspenders-for-battle-belt/10-549144/ |

There's a few varieties but they're cheap, see what works best. Different colors too. |
| I wear suspenders that have the "jaws" that clip AROUND the belt loops. They are next to my skin with all my shirts being on top of the suspenders. It took a few weeks to get used to this but they are leather thus quite strong and hold my EDC and two spare mags with ease. |

The front straps aren't stretchy, but they are thinner than the thick elastic they use on the other heavy duty suspenders, and the slides on the front are thinner metal rather than thick plastic. |

As noted the belt must be a bit on the thin side. |

| I've been wearing welch suspenders that use buttons... I sew BDU buttons and they work fine. I've been using them for almost 20 years now.. the first thing I noticed was how much easier it was to carry, without having to constantly pull up my pants.... I use a hybrid IWB with metal clips and don't even worry about a belt any longer... |
