Looking For Strong Tactical Belt Recommendations

[ShaggyRS6]

Hi guys, I want to carry my 1911 but I am finding my current nylon style belt is not man enough for the job! The fun is pulling my pants down on the side I carry.

Now I know there are many types of sturdy belts, the rigid ones or nylon with Kevlar inside. But does anyone have any experience and recommendations ?

i don’t have a budget and really and looking for quality that will last.

Thanks!

I use both depending on on pants or gun.

Best quality I have ever seen in a leather belt. (And leather is the end all, be all.) I have two that are over 10 years old and still going.

HSGI Riggers belt (no d-ring) with a cobra buckle has served me well for carrying a 1911 or anything else.  The cobra buckle makes undoing the belt super quick/easy.

+1 for the Wilderness Instructor.

Thanks all so far for your recommendations. Been a bit busy this evening but will take a look at all of these tomorrow!

The Beltman has a loyal following here and other sites I visit.

Budget aside, I've gotten great service from my 5.11 Casual (leather) and black leather Goodrich and Gould for work.

I have been using a NexBelt for causal attire off and on over the last year with good results as well.

OWB a CZ75b for comparison.

Not an owner, but for a non leather rig, the Wilderness gets a lot of stars, green check marks, and smiley faces on the 'net.

Thanks for all the help. I ordered the Wilderness Instructor belt!

For leather the Beltman is very good especially bull hide.

I got a crossbreed crossover belt about a year ago and it has been an absolute champ.  with infinite adjustment options you can really fine tune your belt size to your gun/holster or what you had for lunch.  Highly recommend this one.

I carried a 1911 with my Ares Gear Ranger Belt.  Pretty nice belt, used it for years now.

I am and will always be a fan of Ares Gear:

Their Aegis Enhanced is what I've used for several years now and the Ranger for several years before that. Doesn't look "traditional", but performs very well.
