I recently was in the market for a good gun belt to support my Glock G17 Gen 4 and my Crossbreed Super Tuck Deluxe holster. I searched several Glock forums asking about a good belt - many people gave me their thoughts and opinions for which I really appreciate. In an attempt to help other people who don't know what kind of belt to buy I would like offer this recommendation.
After looking at the "A Better Belt USA" website at A Better Belt USA and talking on the phone with my questions to Mike and Tracy the owners of this very small Houston, Texas company, I ordered The Ultimate Gun Belt from A Better Belt USA.
The quality of this belt is absolutely superior and the ordering options available were very plentiful which included your choice of width, several colors, Kydex reinforced (I ordered), 5 or 7 holes, 1/2 or 1 inch hole spacing and many more options. The belt is made out of two cross layers of Bullhide with Kydex in between. Mike told me Bullhide is much stronger and more stiff than cowhide to give the belt superior support for the holster and gun. I was able to order a 40 inch belt which was the exact size I needed. Many belt companies will only make their belts in lengths of 2 inch increments. These belts are handmade one at a time.
The delivery time is stated as 2 weeks with shipping by USPS Priority mail. I had the belt in my hands in Kansas City 9 days after I ordered it.
When the belt arrived there was a very nice hand signed letter by both Tracy and Mike explaining different things about the belt and a big thank you for my business. In this day "big business" you simply don't receive a hand signed thank you letter from the company owners.
This belt will last for a very long long time and i could not be more satisfied with the quality and customer service. I hope this helps those folks that are looking for a superior gun belt make an informed decision on which one to buy.
