Has anyone tried this belt for EDC? I see a few reviews that mention using it for carry but nothing about long term use as a carry belt.

I have one that I 've had for about 3 month's now with no problems what so ever.It's not as stiff as some of the strictly gun belts but it seems to work fine.I use it with a super tuck and a don hume 721 open top.I cary either a glock 19 or a taurus slim 9.
I have one and it works great. The finish tends to scratch easily but keep in mind you get what you pay for. For the purpose of holding my CCW securely it does just fine.
I just took a look at it and it looks pretty good. It is a single layer of leather thus will not be as stiff as a true gun belt which is a double layer, glued and sewn but for some, certainly do the job. And the price is right.
Go for it and let us know what you think.
Good luck.
After looking at your quick ship belts, I may just get one of yours. They look like they are just what I need. I like the one year warranty and the fact they are made for the job at hand.Quote:

If we can help just let us know.
I've been wearing my G-19/Supertuck combo with the Amish belt for about 10 months now and it is as good as a gun belt for my purposes.
The first Amish belt I got is good and stiff and works well with a K Frame or Officer's Model OWB. I ordered another in a different color and it is much softer.
It's okay for the price. I don't mind hangin' a lightweight like a J Frame or a Kahr CW9 off of it, but nothing much heavier as far as I'm concerned.
I have a couple and they work very well for me snugged up tight. :yup:
I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of ABC's belts. I ordered a custom belt (non quick ship). The customer service experience was awesome. The next time I'm in the market for a new belt, Al will get my first look.Quote:

I just checked out the belts at Hank's. Very tempting purchase for that price
