Best WalMart holster belt

[WebSnyper]

Make sure you follow the sizing guidelines for IWB. I think it currently says 2 inches larger on the site, when I ordered, I believe it said 4 inches, which is what I did and it has worked out great.

+1 for the biobelt. When I got mine it said 4 in. above your waist size. That is good for iwb, but I only carry owb. The smallet hole is what I use with a lot of extra belt to spare. If I ever lose weight, in screwed... Like that will happen.

I ordered mine like they stated on the website, add 2 inches to your pants size. I plan on carrying IWB so I may call them tomorrow to make sure of the size.

The +2 inches is the way to go... I also ordered when +4 was suggested and found myself using the last (smallest) hole on the belt, then I ordered one that was the same size as my pants and have trouble wearing IWB after the Holidays. +2 is the way to go, IMO

Thanks for the info. I should be good then.

I believe they will resize it for free. I read that somewhere. [Not sure about S&H]

Thanks to the advice offered in this thread and a couple others, I ordered myself a Daltech BioBelt last night.

You won't regret it. Going on year 3.5 with mine and I use it every day. Rugged and stylish.

In addition to the Bio Belt, there's the 5.11 Casual Belt (with stiffener, I believe).

I have one that I wear if/when I want to carry a FS gun IWB - which ain't often.

I got mine here: http://www.opticsplanet.com/511-leather-casual-belt-15-plain-59501.html?_iv_options[]=57-94567&_iv_options[]=8218-99864&_iv_code=T5-TB-59501-019-XL And if you look for a coupon code, you may be able to get it cheaper.

Walmart.com also sells 5.11 Trainer Belts - which 5.11 bills as being "more than enough support and durability to carry your holster and accessories comfortably without sagging, twisting, or losing its shape"

Just for anyone who may be thinking about ordering one of the BioBelts, I emailed back and for with Daltech and adding 2 inches to your pants size is the way to go.

The Bio Belt is under $50 shipped with coupon code INGO. Mine is over 3 years old. I used to buy 2 or 3 $25 walmart belts a year. Save a bit more money and get the BIO BELT. It's a far better deal in the long run and a far superior belt. You will not regret it.

coupon code doesnt work, say it reached its limit.

I second the 5.11 belts. I have a leather one and the smaller buckled web belt. They both have stiffeners and work great. I got my at Jenkins. Had to exchange my med for a large for IWB carry with a spare mag so try before you buy.

Beware those casual belts from 5.11. They arent worth the money IMHO due to poor finish durability. This was after 6 months with my Supertuck. (I wasnt EDC-ing at that time either, so it was a light 6 months) Stiff? Yes. quite excellent. Just dont expect it to look nice for long.

Yes, that is a definite drawback to the 5.11 Casual belt. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of holster is on it, either. At least not in my case...but I don't have anything with leather loops. Hard plastic loops or clips and metal clips will abrade the finish off of it. But they're doing that to my $90 Beltman belt, too, just not as severe.

Quick response from Daltech. Use these codes for a discount until they get the INGO code working again.

This got me 10% off. It took care of taxes, anyway. I think I tried 3 or 4 coupon codes before that one worked.

I may have bought one.

I must have missed something, I been using leather retails belts, thick leather, for over 10 years now and no issues. IWB, OWB, Supertuck, and host of others holsters until I settled on what works for me. I did notice that fit and function of the holster and belt combine was inversely proportional to my waist size, no purple. The belt is snug and comfortable, but it doesn't push my "spare tire fat ring" out and against the holster/gun. This was one of the motivators for losing weight and the doctor telling me I was on my way to a stroke.

Willing to learn something new, so the belts functions are to hold the holster secure and against the body, and when the gun is drawn to keep the holster in place?

You will really be amazed if you try an actual built-for-hanging-a-gun-off-of-it gun belt.

Non gun belts will roll over, sag, and stretch. Heck, even some of the super cheap (note I didn't say inexpensive) gun belts will do this (looking at you, single layer web belts marketed as gun belts).

i cannot comment on how well the belt is but if it is made by Alien Gear, I'm willing to back up the quality. steel core, with two layers of leather. i currently carry a Beretta M9 with their CloakTuck 3.0 and I will never change IWB holster. it's amazing.
