Good 1.5 inch gun belt???
I need a gun belt. I have always used a standard belt. Besides tearing it up, the holster is not always the most secure that it can be. Need some serious advice.

A good gun belt is definitely a must for secure, comfortable carry. Personally, I like the Wilderness Instructor Belt.

Go to www.thebeltman.net and don't look back. I have an elephant (1.25") and sharkskin (1.5") belt from them. Both incredibly well made and I experienced top notch customer service. I'm probably ordering a horsehide or another elephant (1.5") this week.

If leather is your style, then Beltman is hard to beat. If you're into the trendy look and feel of a more modern option, then the Wilderness Instructor's Belt is a solid contender.

I have a brown and black 1.5" bullhide from him, and they are both built like tanks. Make sure you follow his measuring instructions carefully (Don't ask how I know that, LOL).

I just got a 1 1/2" from the Beltman this week. I am extremely pleased with it in every way.

The beltman has about a 45 day wait. I went with a Galco SB2. Very nice leather belt. Goes well with dress clothes. $59.00 at Optics planet. Ships same day. I also have a Wilderness instructor 5-stitch belt for the more casual clothes. It works real well.

I don't tuck so IMO the Wilderness is the best choice mainly cause it's so darn adjustable and secure.

I also have a Beltman belt, and it is FIRST Class, in every sense of the word. It does what it's advertised to do. More $$$, but well worth every penny.
