Because of the qualities of leather, I'm not sure it's possible to make it reversible and still have the stiffness and support of a good gun belt.terryg wrote:So I just couldn't figure out how a 'Gun Belt' could make that much of a difference. I saw people say they were thicker - but I was just thinking wider (or taller as worn). So I've got a nice regular but wide (1 1/2") belt and I couldn't figure our how a wide belt that was branded 'gun belt' could make any difference.
So I just finally looked at a 'gun belt' at Collectors and now it all makes since. Thicker means THICKER. That thing is seriously thick - not just wider. Its like a steel band! Now I get it ...
But those suckers were $100+ each. I'm sure there are some not quite so pricey. Does any one know if there are any reversible (brown/black) gun belts out there?
The Liger gun belts from Maxpedition are very supportive, durable, look good, and are significantly less costly than the ones you cited here. They're worth a look. I'm very happy with mine, which I use for dress or casual wear when a less "tactical" look is required.jester wrote:Because of the qualities of leather, I'm not sure it's possible to make it reversible and still have the stiffness and support of a good gun belt.terryg wrote:So I just couldn't figure out how a 'Gun Belt' could make that much of a difference.

Probably so. I was also thinking that making the buckle reversible could weaken the overall design.jester wrote:Because of the qualities of leather, I'm not sure it's possible to make it reversible and still have the stiffness and support of a good gun belt.terryg wrote:So I just couldn't figure out how a 'Gun Belt' could make that much of a difference.

I think I just missed this item when I tried a few days ago. I clicked 'Add to Cart' but it gave some kind of error. I checked again today and the item available anymore. I should have tried when you first posted the link.dave_in_austin wrote:You might take a look at http://www.graveyardmall.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I got some 5.11 tactical series belts from them last year for $2.99 each. They have limited colors and sizes, but you get a large one and butcher it down to fit. I am really pleased with what I got and it makes a big difference in carry comfort. I think that what I bought were at http://www.graveyardmall.com/110belttanxxl.html. Even if it does not work out for you, there is not much risk in the purchase with the $2.99 price. I do not recall, but I think shipping came to about $10 for six belts.
I'm pleased with the 5.11.glbedd53 wrote:Prodefense has 5.11 and Blackhawk. I got the Blackhawk I think it was about $40. It works great.
I got a Comp-Tac belt a few years ago. It made quite a difference! It keeps stuff much steadier and more secure.Deepsix wrote:I just got a nice one from Comp-Tac, ... Great for hanging a pistol on though
I thought the very same thing! I did some research and bought a Crossbreed holster and carried with a regular dress belt for couple of weeks. I was young and stupid back then... (3 months ago) I went with Crossbreed's gun belt because I wanted to add their "V-Clips" and velcro on the inside of the belt. I do not have the problem of the gun pulling my pants down anymore. Although I need to buy some new pants because I gained some newlywed weight a couple years ago, there just ain't much room for me plus the gun.terryg wrote:So I just couldn't figure out how a 'Gun Belt' could make that much of a difference.
Excaliber wrote:That is my favorite belt for casual wear too. It's top quality, reasonably priced, durable, and supports gun / holster / mag pouches etc. just fine. The buckle design and hook and loop fastener on the free end makes it infinitely adjustable within its size range too.lkd wrote:The Annoyed Man wrote: I also use a Wilderness Tactical Instructor's belt which cost $39.99, and it is very rugged. In fact, it's a little bit stiffer than my leather gun belt. It works real well.
