Beltman Belts. Bullhide vs Horsehide??

GunnyBunny · April 14th, 2009, 01:46 PM

I know the horsehide is the stiffer of the two. Is it too stiff for everyday wear, or should I go with the bullhide?

No, the horsehide is not to stiff for every day wear. I don't have a bullhide to compare to, but my horsehide belt is very comfortable. I wear it every day, even when not carrying.

For IWB it really does not matter. For OWB get the most stiff belt that will fit your loops. Horse will be a little stiffer. I would even add an internal stiffner if you are carrying a larger gun. But no, horse will not be too stiff.

Good post for me to read, as I just ordered one of his horsehide belts

I just received my Bullhide and it is just as stiff as a horsehide one I have from another company.
Great belts. Goes great w/ my rig from Del Fatti.

Cheers!

I use beltman belts in Bullhide to carry a fullsize 1911 with no problems. Belt does not sag at all and I don't have the stiffener in it. The horsey belts look nice too though, I will probably end up with one later. I think you would be fine either way as far as comfort.
