I can't understate the importance of a good gunbelt and what it does for carrying a gun all day long!
It provides support for the weight of the gun, doesn't stretch out over time from the weight of the gun and will hold the gun and holster snug against your body providing better concealment. It will also increase the comfort level!
Cheap leather belts like you get at a department store or walmart may do for a while or may only work for a few months before they start to break down and sag.
Start to think of your ccw as a multi-component system that needs to work together in harmony if you expect it to be there doing it's job to give you the edge it takes to win and survive at "The Moment of Truth!"
One belt I would recommend is the one from
The Belt Man which you can get
here.
What I like about this manufacturer in particular is not only the quality of the craftsmanship, but also the variety of choices that should fit every need or personal taste. The one I have is the
1.5 inch dual layer bullhide, and it is an exquisite belt. The best I have ever owned not only as a gunbelt, but also as a belt for everyday use as well.
The dual layer bullhide does not stretch or sag at all and while I've only had mine for about 6 or 7 months it's already outlasted those of lesser quality I've used in the past.
Some of the options you can have is to add a "plastic stiffener" in the belt to add even more support without stretching as well as getting a "velcro" lined belt for use with special custom IWB holsters that attach to the belt with the velcro so there are no visible signs of belt loops or holster attachment .
You can also get the belt tapered in front to give it a more dressier look with dress or semi-casual slacks without giving that "gun-belt" appearance and even have a choice of buckles.
Here is something I've never seen before that I thought was unique about his belts and a sign of quality craftsmanship is that he offers a choice of "hole spacing" and the number of holes in the end of the belt.
Lastly, he also offers some exotic skins like shark and elephant hide.
I hope this helps some in your quest for a good concealment rig!
