Blawkhawk pistol belts???

Anyone tried these, any good? They offer them in 1 1/4 & 1 1/2. Stability without the bulk? I'm guessing they're just another kydex / carbon fiber lined belt. Prices are pretty cheap for the "gator..."

I've got one and I love it thus far, I'm guessing I've had it for 2 months? and I really like it, it compliments my VMII and 5" all steel 1911 quite well whether I'm going OWB or IWB. It carries the weight very well without adding weight, or being overly thick.

Only more time will tell though as to how it holds up.

I've had one for about 7 months or so, and it's held up pretty well, I bought mine as a clearance item and the only thing is it's just a little small and if they had the next size up available at the time I would have gone with it.

For my next belt, I think Im going to try something from The Beltman (or maybe one of the custom holster makers) to have something to compare it to.

Thanks for the reviews, I figure for $32 shipped I'll give one a try. What size did you get? I wear a 36" waist jeans so I thought I'd get 38", but I picked up a 38" belt the other day & it was too small. Blackhawks customer service said to get the same size as my jeans???
