Wilderness Belt Question
Going to order the Instructor Belt to carry a Sig P220 and Kimber CDP Pro. I was wondering which up-grades if any to get? Are the 5 stitch and or polymer lining worth the added $?

The polymer liner is a must-have IMO.

The liner is overkill IMO unless you are carrying cuffs, light, oc, mags and gun. The 5 stitch is perfect for full-size 1911s and a couple spare magazines. It's plenty stiff enough but not so stiff that it's uncomfortable.

I also found that wearing the polymer-lined Wilderness created more of a "print." Because it doesn't really flex a lot, it tends to bulge out from the sides of the holster.
I switched to a 5-stich and couldn't be happier. |

I have a 5 stitch 1 3/4" Instructor Belt. I have carried a 7 1/2" Redhawk on mine, and didn't feel the need to have the polymer lining.

I discussed this very matter with The Wilderness folks when we started selling the Instructor's belts. They told me that the polymer lining is way overkill for carrying just a firearm & related ccw stuff. This option is intended to allow an Instructors belt to do the job of a police duty belt (cuffs, radio, baton, etc - in addition to firearm and reloads), but is very stiff and not as flexible/comfortable as the 5-Stitch version.
For CCW, the 1-1/2" 5-Stitch models are superb! I can comfortable carry a 5" 1911 and double mag pouch with mine and have exactly the same degree of support that is provided by one of my Combat Dress Belts. |

+1 on the five stitch. It provides enough stiffness to carry a gun and a couple of mags, but it's still comfortable.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like it'll be a 5 stitch model.
