Gunbelts

ColoradoDave · May 2nd, 2009, 01:56 AM

I'm still waiting for my permit, and realize I'll need a gunbelt to support my holster and gun.

My question is, as thick as they typically are, aren't gunbelts a bit obvious? Especially with shorts and a tucked shirt in the summer.

Or is a thick clunky belt just something most sheeple don't notice.

I don't about you, but I don't look at other people's belts unless they are a foot too long and hanging between someones legs!

Use my method and get your spare tire to hang over the top ... no one will see how thick your belt is.

You will be amazed at what most people, sheeple or wolf, do not notice on a day to day basis!

Get a good sturdy gun belt, you won't be let down!

I wear my Galco 1.5 inch belt to the office every day -- some mornings when I put it on and do the mirror check I think to myself that it is obviously a gun belt. I've had this particular belt two years, and wear it regularly. Nobody has said a word, and I don't think they notice. I work with many cops, and they haven't said anything, either.

In general, the sheeple don't notice much.

Most gun belts are fashionable. They actually look quite nice with a buckle that doesn't look tactical or heavy duty.

Just look at the belts at thebeltman.net and you'll see that they don't look obvious. People won't know, they'll just think you have a nice belt.

I have an Akers B-21 gun belt - does a pretty good job and a K & D gunbelt - does a much better job and just looks nicer as well

Honestly 99.9% ofnthe people you will meet have no idea what you have on or are carrying.

Don't give people so much credit, they are not very observant . Think about the last time you really noticed someone's belt

This is true. Get a good gun belt and you will be set. I got mine from Gun Belts by The Belt Man

I tend to be fairly observant, I can remember seeing odd clips and leather loops on guys belts in the past, now of course I know what they were LOL

I can just hear my 77 year young mother commenting "my, your belt sure is thick, why?" The answer of course would be "to hold my pants up"
