They only had 2XL and bigger sizes (but I have a leather punch so can make adjust to any size). The site specializes in selling end of line products for pennies on the dollar.

Do you want to tell us where the discount belt site is?

Its not a discount belt site, more a discount anything site. The discount site sold out of those belts in a couple of days. Had I known just how good the belts were I would have bought more than 3. They took a while to get here, but were worth the wait.

LOL, I just bought my first gun belt from GT Distributors in Austin and I mentioned this to the friend I was staying with

What a difference a true gun belt makes though. I was expecting it and I was still shocked.

My belt problem is that I need too much belt. A few inches less would be good.

I feel your pain, I would like to lose a foot of belt.

Wow!how impressive!! Didn't know a gun belt make so much difference! Looks like my next stop would be cabelas! Any good online products that are inexpensive? Just curious..

I haven't seen anything like this at Cabela's. They've got belts, but not like this.

Add me in as another voice reiterating that a decent gun belt will make all the difference.

Seconded. Thanks for taking the time to post them.

Granted one needs a good gunbelt, but what are the most widely accepted and preferable widths among wearer and holster makers?

Inch and half fills up the belt loops on jeans pretty well. And still sturdy. I think that is the most common width. Anybody else?

My belt from Com-tac is 1 1/2 inches wide and the taper is 1 1/4 inches. I would order the same if I needed another just longer!

..Inch and a half . The wider the better I think.
