Suggest Gun Belt w/Infinite Adjustment

**RLS** · December 9th, 2017, 07:51 PM

I use Wilderness belts. The ability to adjust the belt to my waistline is the main reason I started using them. The Instructor belt is what I first used, I am now using the Frequent Flyer.

I wear mine exclusively. When I have to get gussied up for weddings and such, my Wilderness is what I wear. My daily wear with jeans is a Wilderness belt, although I have been giving thought to how to carry a gun while wearing suspenders.

I have gotten Wilderness belts for my son-in-law and also one of my grandsons for concealed carry.

They work, not more Goldilocks belts for me.

If you want a normal non operator looking belt for every day use that you can put on and take off in a hot minute with infinite adjustment then you want to look at a Trackline gun belt which I believe are made by Kore Essentials. I am unsure on how they actually hold up to every day use but their system looks good.

I went with a BigFoot gun belt since it's lines with spring steel and will pretty much never wear out but they are regular 9 hole style. It would be nice to see different buckle and locking options in the future.

Awesome. Another solid-looking option.
I like the thorough product descriptions and detail provided on the website.

They also offer several widths of belts to choose from which is a bonus.
I'm not a big guy and some of these gigantic gun belts are going to look absurd on my waist.

I've been using this belt:

Which I think may simply be a re-branded one of these:

I've been using a harness strap from a tac shop for 20 years. A hole punch puts it where I want it.

Thanks.
Hmmm... will have to poke around there. I have a $10 off coupon I was going to throw away because I wasn't planning to buy anything any time soon - but now...

I use a leather belt with a double-row of grommeted holes along its entire length about every 1/2" Plenty adjustable for me, even after losing a bunch of weight, and plenty sturdy for any pistol I've ever had. It's about 1.5" wide and about 1/8" thick. Been using it for years and doesn't really even show any wear. Only downside is it tends to be too wide for 'dress pant' belt loops (and would look odd with them) - which as an issue approximately 1-2x a year for me. But if you're a 'wears a suit to work' sort, could be a dealbreaker.

Best is... $15 at walmart. I think it was "dickies" brand. Similar to this one:

I've also tried 'woven leather' belts for high adjustability... But found those tended to wear out pretty fast AND be a little too thick for my taste AND not be quite sturdy enough for good totin' (they flex too easily).

LOL! ^^^ (at Streaker)

Yeah, I've seen those at Walmart. Twenty bucks or so. That one seems cheaply made though - the "genuine leather" is only a thin layer I think.

I've come across several brands now that use the same method.

This one (Mission) was apparently on Shark Tank and suggests the others are imitators.

They even have nylon models that look like the web belts I wear now. Not sure they would work for carry though - even though one of them is called "Carrier".
