I've been wearing my current belt almost every day for the past five years or so, though only recently with a carry weapon. I tried my 2.5" S&W M66 in a Don Hume J.I.T. during my last range trip and had to cinch the belt so tight my bellybutton was kissing my spine.
There's a respectable weight difference between my 66 and 642 so maybe it's just more weight than I'm use to but I'm wondering if maybe the belt's useable "carry life" is played out. It works fine with my 642 but is it time to use it as just for casual wear? This is a 1.5" gunbelt from a very respectable holster maker and it still looks as good as the day I opened the package.
Considering my limited CCW experience I thought I'd ask how often you folks generally replace your belts. I've got a new one on order with Eric at HBE but it'll be a while before it arrives, Maybe I should wait for the new leather before I start carrying my 66?
Appreciate any input you folks can offer!
