Hi all,
I've got my new Para on the way, and my Milt Sparks VM2 will be here any day now. Since those sucked my wallet dry, I'm looking for a decent belt for a good price and preferably something I won't have to wait too long for. Sounds like Beltman is a widely used brand on the forum, but it looks like that's going to cost me close to 100 bucks, along with over a month of waiting. I'm not trying to skimp on the belt quality considering I am 2/3 of the way to a great rig already, just looking for alternatives. Any suggestions for a cheaper brand of similar quality? (maybe some that aren't each custom made). or should i just spring for the popular brand?
thanks

I'm in the minority on the belt issue but I really like the Galco Contour. This has been an excellent belt!

Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

It's available in the $80.00 range on line.

Nate at UBG makes belts for under 100. I have no information about the belts, but his holsters come highly recommended.

DM Bullard has some great belts IN STOCK for $65. Premium Hermann Oaks leather, roller buckles, double stitched. Nice guy too.

Check out the Beltman's double-width bullhide. Very stable, good looking belts, good price, about three weeks to delivery. I have two and love 'em.

+1 on the beltman. He's one of those rare people out there that under-promises and over-delivers. I have 2 of his.

Well either I'm cheap, ignorant or both but so far I like this one.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I think you should look at the Beltman. I have two of his belts as well. If you can't afford one - wait and save, they are worth it. Great support for any holster.

I agree. Nice, sturdy, looks like a normal belt. I use a 1.25" and it supports the P7M8 perfectly.

I have two Beltman belts - one in bullhide and the other in elephant. Both came in two or three weeks. Give Jim a call as he may have something in your size and delivery parameters - may be a color trade off.
