Belt importance?
Belt importance?
I was reading a another post that got me thinking and looking for a good belt. and was wondering does it have be a "gun" belt. cause most of the belts I have found on the net are kinda expensive. as my budget is right now a $100 is to much for a belt (I have a baby on the way and we are saving every last penny cause the wife will be out of work for a while.)
So can I get away with finding a good quality, thick belt, that is not necessarily made to carry a gun?

This man is local to DFW and does the best job I have seen. I have had many belts and I am a large man. I am hard on belts and these have been the best for me.

The Wilderness Instructor belts work well. In black, they look more like a normal belt than you'd expect, though, frankly, most people are about as observant as rocks anyway.

You have all the advice above that you need. All these are quality belts at a very reasonable price.
If you are carrying IWB you can compromise on your belt some. Your pants will do part of the job.

Carry 24-7 or guess right.

Here are my two.
This is my daily wear. http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum3328.php
It will handle OWB, but not as well as the second one. It is about the same flexi quality as a seat belt.
Here's the one for when i want to wear OWB. It is considerably stiffer. With a hard flexible core. Not at all uncomfortable on me. http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum3333.php
They look almost identical from casual observance. The details are listed about the d-ring's test load performance criteria..
Fwiw, the belts will hold me suspended (at 225 lbs.) in mid-air. It is not comfortable to be suspended from a single belt, but it is possible. I do use the belt(s) daily hooked on to safety devices, as needed, in my everyday work.

Aker belts are good and cheap $35-$45 (http://www.akerleather.com/). I wear the same one every day for a couple of years now. They have a polymer insert so they really hold the weight of your pistol well.
Thumbs down from me on customer service from CopsPlus.com, however. Not dishonest, just not well run. My experience was bad enough that I feel it's worth mentioning when the subject comes up.lrb111 wrote:This is my daily wear. http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum3328.php
