FYI for those ordering a Beltman

CornstalkCop · January 15th, 2009, 06:51 PM

When you size the belt as per instructions on the website, get the measurement as shown, then add an inch and submit. I've ordered 3 in the past, 2 for me and one for my dad and it was the case everytime. The belt will fit the second hole snuggly, not the 3rd. To get the 3rd hole fit, add an inch.

That is the same with Rafter.

That's great advise. Wish I would have known that before I ordered mine. You might even want to add an 1 1/2" or 2", especially since mine keeps shrinking on me!

I was told to add 1" for IWB wear and leave as is for OWB wear.

I was told the same, textbook meets reality.

Damn, should I call and change the order?

I should be ok though. My normal waist size is 33-34. When I ordered the 2 belts recently I actually rounded up on the length another 1-inch anyhow.

Appreciate the heads up for future orders.

I know I'm kinda bring this back from over a month ago, but didn't want to start a whole new thread...anyhow, I'm ordering a beltman soon....and just want to clarify. Should I measure what hole I go to when wearing IWB and THEN add 1 inch? Or should I just measure to the hole while wearing IWB and leave it alone?

Thanks in advance...

I measure while wearing my holster then add an inch just to be safe. It's always better to have too much length

I always order the 7 hole option rather than 5 hole.
Just gives a bit more flexibility in adjustment.
