    Default What belt to wear with your holster?

    Looking to purchase a good duty / tactical holster belt for everyday use. It will be used for open carry and, concealment. I perfer the leather look to the nylon. Any advice appreciated.

    search "belt", you'll find all you need to know.

    I, personally prefer the beltman's products... well worth the money.

    You can't go wrong with a belt from the likes of Beltman, Mitch Rosen, or any of the custom holster makers, but they may have a backlog. Galco makes some pretty good gun belts if you don't want to wait.

    I'd love to have some of the stuff recommended around the forum, but I'm either too poor or a cheapskate (not certain which yet).

    At any rate, I've got a couple C.E. Schmidt belts from Tractor Supply Co. which seem to be holding up pretty well for around $20 or so.

    Good luck.

    I carry in a C5 Leather gunbelt. Best belt I've ever used. Makes carrying a Sig P229 a breeze.

    Duty Belts are HUGE. I think you're confusing the term gun belt and duty belt. A duty belt is about 3-4 inches wide. A gun belt has the standard varying widths but are simply reinforced and sturdy.

    Yup.

    I second the Beltman nomination. I went w/ the 1.5" non-reinforced bull hide, plain-jane model, and couldn't be happier.

    I've been using it for a couple years now, usually toting a P7M8 (not really a lightweight pistol - all steel, etc.) IWB in either a DelFatti ISP-4 or Sparks VM-2.

    Most reputable custom/semi-custom holster makers will usually offer a top-notch quality gun belt, from what I have seen.

    My Beltman had about a month wait, and cost about $75 shipped, but is worth every penny to me...

    Regards,

    When I got my crossbreed super tuck I also got one of their belts. Works well for me. I do not use the super tuck much but always use the belt. It handles my full size 1911 with no problems. I was going to get a beltman but crossbreed had a deal on belts.
