Best Belt for Carry??

[Guest tommy62]

5.11 use to have decent belts with plastic ''stiffeners'' sandwiched inside the two halves. I have a black dress belt and a tan and a black nylon belts that work great for ccw.

The stiffness of the belts helps to keep there from being any rolling effect with a holster.

+1 on the black and tan nylon.

1 1/2 Double Thick Belt - D.M. Bullard Leather Mfg.

I just got one of these and put a "cowboy" hook type buckle on it and it is AWESOME. Best belt i've ever owned.

Skinner, how long was your wait? I'm a big D&B fan and would like to try one out.

$80??? No thanks.

A good quality gun belt is essential for comfortable carry. Making a double layer gun belt is labor intensive, and in turn expensive. One will last a long, long time, and be worth it's weight in gold if you intend to carry regularly. Here are a few I made, and $80 is more than a fair price.

Although I haven't owned one, I've heard nothing but good reports about beltman belts.

The belt was "in stock." It came regular postage; so . . . 5 - 7 business days. I ordered it and my holster this summer and got them both within 3 weeks.

It is the last belt you will ever buy. Unless you order one of a different color.

true enough.

I consider it motivation to not get (more) fat.

The Beltman makes some very good belts.

Yep, love mine. I thought my Wilderness Instructor 5 stitch belt was good until I got a horsehide belt from Beltman.

I've never tried a regular belt/buckle.

I have gotten so used to being able to adjust Nylon Belts.

My belts rarely show too.

Looks like you do really nice work. Got a site?

No, it's just a hobby. I'd recommend a Beltman belt before I'd hand sew another one at a comparable price. Thanks for the compliment.

I like the Comp-tac leather belt I own. I haven't owned one by Beltman or any other vendor though. What I like about the Comp-tac belt is that the shape is reinforced by kydex. It will never sag, ever. What I don't like about it is that they used two belt loops which tend to get in the way of the pant belt loop so that the buckle won't center right over the middle of your pants zipper. Check it out. You may like it.

I've had a belt from Tucker Gunleather for several years and it's allowed comfortable carry with any gun I own.

Beltman horsehide 1.5 inch leather gun belt and a good leather holster. Galco, Kramer, DeSantis, etc.

Saddleback leather for a AWESOME wallet.
