Looking for a new gun belt

Sig sauer · June 29th, 2008, 08:55 PM

I'm looking for a new gun belt. I don't want it to be flimsy.

It suppose to be sturdy and be able to hold the weight of a Sig Sauer P226, extra ammo clip and pepper spray. I want it to be able to divide the weight from the gun a bit, so it won't get heavy on that point.

I have one made by Galco. Great Belt. I did come across this maker that has me very interested. Gun Belts by The Belt Man

The Beltman makes excellent belts for CC. I have one of his Sharkskin models I've been using for a while now and I think its one of the best buys I've made. I'm impressed enough with it that I just ordered a black bullhide one to wear to work.

I have to agree with Smokeeater and say Beltman is the guy to go to. About a 1 month wait for quality belt. I am sorry to say but anything off the rack from Galco/Desantis/Aker just doesn't compare. I think Rafter S makes the best belt right now but their customer service and inaccurate wait times make ordering from them a pain.

Another vote for Beltman. I have been using one for two years and it has been great. Looks great and is very stiff, it holds up my Govt. 1911 with no problems. I will be ordering another in a different color here shortly. Another bonus is that I have not had any isues with it fitting the loops on several different brands of holsters like I see with some other belts.

The Beltman... +1

Another vote for the Belt Man. I recently got a 1 1/2" horsehide. It is nice! Very stiff.

It's been several months since I received 4 Looper leather belts, and they are great belts. Only $30 each (the price is right), and very stiff...excellent for my IWB holsters...I like 'em.

Stay armed...use a good belt...stay safe!

Has anyone added the extra internal stiffener on their Beltman belt?

Whats you opinion of it for owb and iwb

If you are not looking for leather, The Wilderness Instructors belt is hard to beat. I wear mine everyday and love it. It is extremely sturdy.
