Need a great gun belt

[Nsw550]

I need a nice gun belt but on a budget. Where do you guys find quality belts for a good price?

What kind of budget? What kind of materials? Help us help you!

Tractor Supply. Thick, single layer, 1 1/2" wide, leather. Fits the slots in my holster perfectly. $20-30.

I ended up buying a work belt from walmart. Heavy duty, reinforced canvas and synthetic leather. Super stiff and it only cost me $13. It's not too pretty, but it'll do till I can find something nicer.

^This if you're on a budget. When you're ready to get an outstanding gun belt, take a look at Beltman belts. I'm sure mine will wear out some day, but it won't be any time soon!

Trust me on this one, if you are planning on holding up a gun, get a gun belt.

+1 for Wilderness Tactical

They're a little (or a lot) thick for some holster slots, but the Bull Belts at the 1500 are money. About 30 dollars.

The advantage Double D-ring belts have is they tighten however far you want them, ensuring a tight fit.

Just ordered my Wilderness Tactical 5 Stitch 1 3/4 inch Belt last week. It's not here yet, but it should be by tomorrow. I have heard nothing but good things, I ended up paying $52.90 but it is an extra $5.00 for the 5 stitch. and $7.95 for S&H.

Personally I found that most belts just break down to quickly and do not give much support over time. I'm a bit of big guy myself (read: 6'3 and 290lbs) and my belts do get used, so I decided to drop the money on a belt that will last. I went with a Comp Tac Kydex Reinforced belt and have loved it ever since. The belt will support pretty much anything and has yet to wear down where the leather would droop and lose its support.

Two think pieces of leather sandwich a piece of kydex. They are expensive but I don't think I will ever buy from another unless they can be copy this form.

You can get by with department store belts for IWB due to your body & garment exerting friction on the holster to aid in keeping everything in place.

I am currently shopping for a good quality gun belt (or two) myself...I'm partial to Gun Belts by The Belt Man due to the myriad recommendations I've come across on several firearms-related message boards.

I highly recommend the bull belts. Heavy duty belt that certainly won't fold over or sag.

I just bought two myself - one 5-stitch and one polymer filled. It will be interesting to see if there's much difference. Reviews coming soon!

+1 on the Bull Belts.

Look at Liger belts from Maxpedition. I have two, you could pull a semi with them.

If black is okay and they make it in your size, it's tough to beat the Uncle Mike's instructor's belt. It's pretty much a clone of the 1.5-inch belt with the polymer stiffener by the Wilderness, but you can get it for $25 or less.

The Wilderness makes the Cadillac, though. I need a custom size and they'll do it for not much extra. Very durable (it can withstand . . . ME!), although I'd like it even stiffer, maybe with a thicker or inherently stiffer polymer reinforcement.

Wilderness or 5.11

I have three wilderness instructor belts, and all are the combat shooter's model (CSM). The CSM is polymer lined, and has held up very well.
