All of my Beltman belts are 1.25". In my line (suits) 1.5" belts look waaay out of place.

Works just fine. I kind of like the little "give".

Love the avatar, Catalina. I'm very proud to say Justice Scalia and I attended the same high school and college, though 20 years apart. He's slightly more successful than me.

No reason to compromise on movement on the draw stroke at this level of leather gear. Call them!

Just an FYI. I contacted Marty at Milt Sparks today and he politely informed me that they will make NO changes whatsoever to their belt loops on their holsters to accomodate any other belt makers products. I have 2 Rafters belts, one in elephant and one in shark, both of which are a hair over 1.5" wide. I ordered an Axiom with elephant trim anyway for my Wilson Tac Supergrade. Marty made a recommendation as to what I might do to the belt loops once I get the holster, which I hope works. I will post my results and photos of the rig when it arrives.

I was pretty sure he would not make changes. There may be a maker that will do so, but I am not sure who. Kevin at K&D might, but have not queried him on it. I would think it would be more trouble that it is worth to change patterns, or however they do it.

I think it might be more advantageous for RafterS to reduce the width of their 1.5" belts slightly.

The 1.5 VMII has been working perfectly fine for me on the 1.25 Rafter S belt.
