    Default Suggest Gun Belt w/Infinite Adjustment

    I've been carrying for about 20 years but I've never needed a gun belt.
    I've always carried small 380ACP or 32ACP IWB with no need for "support". I wear a belt now to keep my pants up, but not because I carry. The most common type of belt I wear for casual dress is a basic web belt.

    "Infinitely adjustable"...

    I hate belts with "holes" because the holes are never where they need to be - belt is either uncomfortably snug, or so loose it's pointless to even wear it.


    I did find one actual gun belt so far that has a "ratcheting system" that is promising, but figured I'd ask here to see if anyone has a suggestion.

    I don't even know that it has to be a GUN belt - I'm only looking to carry a M&P Shield 9mm in an OWB Kydex holster, so it's not like I need to support a full size 1911.

    $50 or less would be ideal. Yes, I know... "quality costs money", blah, blah, blah. That's an argument that makes sense when you have the money to spare. I'm not in a position to be spendy right now though.

    I saw the $30 Gun Belts (.com) website, but I'd prefer something with more adjustability.
    Plus I can't see a need for a 1/4" thick belt. I'm guessing most gun belts are that thick though - which isn't very appealing to me. This is all new to me, so I have some research to do.

    Thanks in advance.

    I got a gun belt from Kore Essentials here https://www.koreessentials.com/

    I've been wearing it every day for about 5 months now and love it. Being able to adjust it a 1/4 of an inch at a time is great for me.
    Customer service good also. A piece broke on my buckle. I emailed them with a picture of the buckle and got a reply within a couple of hours. The guy said it looked like a defect and they have actually started using more heavy duty parts. I had a replacement buckle in 3 days.

    Hope that helps

    That's the one I saw. Couldn't recall the name!

    I'm used to adjusting my belt as I see fit - from day to day, or hour to hour.
    Eat a meal and loosen it just a smidge. Going for a drive? Why be uncomfortable? No need to make it so loose it no longer functions as a belt - just loose enough to "breathe".

    Glad to hear from someone who actually has one of those!

    That Blue Alpha Low Profile is interesting - and cheap.

    I hate those "Cobra" buckles. I never saw one until looking for a belt now.
    Function over form? Ugly as heck and screams GUN BELT!

    Got to say TY for all the newer insight with belts ! I always had the leather with holes and found myself making newer secondary holes.I carry my Glock 43 mostly and sometimes the Glock 19 ,hopefully these belts may fit a different application for me !

    Pretty simple. Not really "nice" looking, but casual is how I dress.

    $17 works!

    I'm still looking, but noting this so I don't forget.
