The waistband supports securely support a holstered firearm without the need for a separately worn belt. The waistband supports form part of the construction of any type or style of trousers or shorts, and provide a sturdy interface for conventional holster clips used with conventional inside-the-waistband firearm holsters. The waistband supports generally take the form of a length of nylon webbing, but may be lengths of leather or other heavy sturdy fabric sewn to the waistband of the trousers or shorts. The waistband supports are sewn to the exterior of the waistband along the side and top edges with the bottom edge open, i.e. not stitched to receive the hook end of the holster clips. The open bottom edge of the waistband support allows the clip hook to engage the bottom edge of the waistband support to secure the holster in place within the trousers or shorts.
