I don't wear belts as my body shape really doesn't require it and I mostly wear jeans. Since I'm in the market for a holster (new buyer) I would like to know if there are any Kydex holsters for a Glock 34 that don't require you to wear a belt? I would also be looking for a magazine holder for my waist that doens't require a belt.
Thanks for any help.

You can try a fobus holster the main clipping point is in side of the jean hem on a paddle holster works well with or with out belt they also make a mag.holder the same way about 20.00 each..

You need PADDLE accessories. Although paddles work *better* with belts, they do work without them as well - the opposing tooth can snag on the sewn seamline of the inside of the pants, allowing the draw. The thicker the pants, the better (like denin jeans).

This isn't kydex and it isn't a Glock - But an Alessi Talon clips onto the waist band very well and a light belt helps hide the clip (but is not necessary). I am sure the Talon is available for a Glock. I have one for a Mustang, an Agent, a Pocket Nine, a Defender and the Beretta Cougar (shown below).

You may also consider the alessi watch six since it has dual talons spread out on each side of the holster.....helps distribute the weight nicely...I found one thin clip with no belt a hair unstable with my P7...of course, it is a fairly heavy peice...

I was gonna suggest the Alessi dual talon setup......nice. I make a DC Special that I wear IWB with my Jammies........works great.
Shoot well............

To suggest that you may want to consider changing your dress code to include a belt (1 1/2" Mim'). When you start hanging that much weight and gear on your jeans waist band, you will soon discover a problem. For most situations a sturdy belt is considered to be a intragal part of a carry rig and in some extreme cases a suspender isn't unrealistic. Usually a larger waist band size is also required to allow room for a IWB. Good luck in your endeavers.

Thank you for all the replies. Because of the low price I purchased a Fobus paddle holster. So far so good without a belt, now I'm looking for a handcuff holder that has a clip like a cell phone or pager does.
Thanks again.

Find a local place that does custom leather work, and bring the cuffs to them. Shouldn't be more than $25 for something custom made, since generally a cuff holder is fairly simple. We've made a couple at the place I am apprenticed at... had metal clips and such, should clip onto the seam of your jeans just as good as a belt.

I also second getting a 1 1/2" belt though, with a standard buckle(rollers are great, but can be a big uncomfortable)
