It goes on a belt just fine. i bought the strap, but I never use it.

Oh!  Maybe I'm thinking of a different one then... The one I'm thinking of has a quick-release "buckle" integrated with the strap that goes around your waist.  There's a buckle on the left and a buckle on the right... (or you can switch them)... The one on the left is the "real" one that releases it and lets you take it off...  The one on the right keeps the belt buckled around, but let's the pack itself "flop open" to the side to expose the pistol...  Maybe it's a different make/brand I'm thinking of...

No, it has one buckle that holds its flap down, and it goes on any decent gun belt.

Old grey, It looks like it has its advantages . I would like to see actually how big it is on someones belt. Am I correct by saying it holds on your belt with a velcro strap? If so it seems to me the velcro could wear out by putting it on and off alot , Or maybe they can sew it on.  I carry enough on my side now, phone/ radio and keys( at work)  not sure if I have room for something else lol.
 I also checked out a g26 today. It is smaller that my g30 but not quite a pocket gun . Also tried to see a ruger lcp but the guy said they were sold out and had a list waiting for the next shipment to come in. He did have a lc9 which is small, im guessing the lcp would be close to the same size. He said he hasnt seen any problems with the lc9 but the lcp had some bugs when they first came out. This was at lawman supply.

The strap goes all the way around it, from the back under the bottom to the front. The plastic clip holds it shut, and velcro makes the strap tight against the body of it. You put it on, like many holsters, by sliding your belt through the loop before you buckle it. The only time you end up separating the Velcro is when you want to pull it off without opening your belt. (I did that one day in a line of people, and nobody noticed... or screamed "GUN!")
I've been wearing mine for about four years. It's starting to look a bit ragged, so I've ordered a replacement, but it still works perfectly.

The video on its page is really long, but it shows how the thing is made... and, almost five minutes in, it shows how I wear it and draw from it (although I wear dark clothes, so it seems a lot less noticeable than on the guy wearing white pants).

I have one , took a little getting used too. Shooting with the pinky clip helps. It's a great summer gun & I had no problems shooting 200+ rounds. Takes some getting used to the long trigger pull, but other than that I like it. They don't recommend the +P ammo.
