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.

Re: Suggest Gun Belt w/Infinite Adjustment
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!

They have velcro belts that will match your sneakers.

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!

Re: Suggest Gun Belt w/Infinite Adjustment
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.
