Another pretty straightforward poll here for everyone to chime in on...

Do you wear a special gun belt? I started carry a few weeks ago and have been carrying with my usual leather belt that I quite like. I don't notice any control or stability issues with it with my Minotaur MTAC and P239, but I'm curious if this is just inexperience.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it worth shelling out the cash for a specialty gun belt? I had a look at Comp-Tac's and they are up around $80, which is a little pricey. Anyone know of anything more affordable but still high quality?

Yes, you wouldn't believe the difference in stability with a quality gun belt. Crossbreed sells them for $60. A Cabela's Double Duty runs about $30 and so does the Wilderness Instructor.

I voted no only because I have not purchased one yet. I do plan on that being my next purchase.

I use a black leather Galco belt that is a little thicker and more rigid than dress belts. It works well and supports the gun/holster very well.

I own a Wilderness Tactical with my Crossbreed. I work outside and casual dress is the norm... not only is it very stable and comfortable but it allows a much more broad range of adjustment then a standard belt. You can dial in exactly how snug a fit that you need day by day instead of trying to cinch up to the next belt hole.

When I carry OWB I use a gun belt. The one I mostly turn to is the Galco COP double leather belt. It is dressy enough for any occasion and keeps my holsters where they should be as well as being very comfortable.

I have a beltman 1/25 dress belt and one of these for everyday.

I have a Crossbreed gun belt. I use it at work and when I'm off. At work it holds my company portable radio and at home it holds my holster. Very sturdy belt.

I suppose one could call it "special." It's simply firm enough, thick enough and comfortable enough to support ~35oz of gear for the day, day after day. It does happen to come from a leather maker who specializes in firearms-oriented belts. But then, I've had such belts for so long that I no longer view them as special. They're simply well-made, durable, functional and comfortable ... exactly what I look for in a belt. Wouldn't be so "special," I suppose, if other belt makers woke up and smelled the coffee.

Double-bullhide units from The Beltman, here. I've got a couple of 1.5 inchers, without stiffeners, and a 1.25" with stiffener.
