I just got my better belt recently and I am very happy with the purchase...so happy in face that I will order a second one soon. I picked the rough rider in rustic, 7 holes 3/4" apart and the kydex reinforcement. This is my first CCW belt and my only regret is waiting so long to buy one.

 
New here; Thanks for bringing this to the top. WILL be ordering at least one very soon!

They are a great small business and seem to really care about craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. I call it a bargain for $70 total when you get a reinforced dual layer bullhide belt w/ roller buckle delivered in less than a week. In fairness they specify it can take up to two weeks to ship but they try to ship quickly. I am saving for the ultimate belt next...
 
I'm going to order the dress belt first, as I have (2) other regular carry belts now. The "Ultimate" will be my next! Don't have a "dress carry" belt now for those RARE occasions!
 
I have been wearing a 1 3/4" dark brown shark skin covered leather gun belt almost every day since August of 2009. David Galloway at Little Bear Holsters built this belt for me when he was still in business in Florida. This belt looks new and I can wear it dressed up or just in jeans.
Okay, it was not cheap at $95.00 however, with horse hide for the base/ inside, the belt shows no wear.
Being a 1/4" thick, I do not think this belt will ever bend or fold over.

One belt serves me instead of investing into two belts.

So I guess what I am saying is to look at exotic leathers from holster makers before choosing your belt.

I ordered one of their belt kits where you dye it yourself. Got double stitching for a stronger belt. Takes a bit of work finishing it. You need to bevel it then use a dye prep then dye it, then put on some sealer, then put gum tragacanth on the edges, then use a edge slicker over the gum tragacanth. It isn't really hard to do. If you do it this way you have a really professional looking belt.
Of course if you want you can just dye it and seal it. But I like doing a good job. To be honest if I buy another I will buy one already finished. But this one was well made, and I finished it properly.

Gryphon

The Gryphon belt looks awesome, and I will be ordering one. Too bad my "mad money" is being saved for vacation next week.
First, thank you all for the compliments on our belts. As always, we are dedicated to quality and service.

The Gryphon is a concept we are still reworking, and expect to release the new version by years end. It worked great with clip on equipment, but had a problem with some "belt slide" gear.

Our newest belt, The Perfect Belt, is the first real innovation in leather gun belts for decades.

Check us out, and thanks again,

Mike
 
Just ordered one. I carry a 5" 1911 in a Summer Special II, if this belt can hold that up, its a solid belt! Will report back when I get a chance to try it out...
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. We sent several of these out for test before I tried one myself (didn't want to muddy the review waters with any of my opinions). After three months, the reviews were so good I wondered if people were just being nice. Finally tried one myself, and all I could think was WOW! The only complaint I had was it took me a week to get used to feeling the belt tight up against my back. I've been wearing mine for five months now, and it shows absolutely NO WEAR other than the hump where the sizing hole end meets the buckle. Looks brand new otherwise.
 
Got my belt in, well under the quoted two week delivery time frame. Very nice product, and for less money than the competition.

I've been using a 1 1/2" Crossbreed belt. While I've had no complaints out of it, this 1 3/4" single stitch belt from A Better Belt does a much better job supporting my 5" steel 1911 in a SS II.

Buy with confidence guys, these are great belts!
 
Got one from them. It's a beaut. Best belt I own. I recommend them Highly. Good people and great service. You will not be disappointed.

I had one in my hands for a few seconds today, then I realized I messed up on the sizing and ordered one way too long. It was the dark Brown "Perfect" belt. I really hate to have to send it back since it looked and felt so nice, but they were gracious enough to let me return it for the correct size. After seeing it in person, I really can't wait to wear it when I get the next one!
 
We're shipping several belts today, and I thought you might like to preview the one you ordered.

We do the best we can to get your belt to you as quickly as possible. Depending on the options you order, it can take up to five days from start to finish to fully complete a belt (drying times must be adhered to). We don't cut corners, but we do put in a lot of extra hours. Glad you're happy!
