Opinions on gun belts?

[Tompo]

I've seen dozens of websites and dozens of different prices/quality of gun belts.

 

Is there any brand/website that you've had good luck with? Specifically with a crossbreed supertuck.

 

(I'd rather not spend $100 on a belt)

If you want leather, i.e., a dress belt, The Beltman has a very nice product. If you want something to wear with jeans or cargo pants I like the Wilderness Instructor belt as posted above by 05FLHT.

I am a pistol belt slut.

 

If you're going to wear a holster (OWB or IWB) yoiu have to g=have a good belt. It has to be a 1/4" thick and at least 1 1/2" in width. You can spend whatever you want one a belt because there are makers who will charge LOTS for a quality belt.

 

Besides being a pistol belt slut, I am also cheap. I found a guy that lives near the Alker International Holster company and he will buy an Aker belt from their outlet store and ship it to you for $47.00. Here's a link to Aker belts

 

and my guy's email is

 

pesty3782@gmail.com

 

and his name is Anthony Pellegrino.

 

He's great guy to do business with and it is a high quality belt. I always buy the B-21 belt which is $52.50 plus shipping. Tony does it for $47.00 including shipping. There are other belts that are cheaper or more expensive on the Aker website. Find the one you like and drop Tony a note and ask him how much.

I've worn an 1 3/4" version without a liner every day for years. I currently need another one. This is the belt everyone copies.

Had a Blackhawk version with a liner and gave it away in almost brand new condition. Too stiff.

If you like a nylon style, Wilderness is supposedly top of the line. I have a Blackhawk instructor style that has a plastic stiffener in it and it works very well.

Took me a couple times wearing it to realize that it doesn't have to be uncomfortably tight to work properly. That plastic stiffener can be uncomfortable if you cinch things too tight and have to reach down for something you've dropped.

When you're a fat man, in or out of the bathtub, it is problematic to find a decent belt. I settled on the Uncle Mike's copy of the Wilderness belt which has worked well for me. I've also vowed to eat less pie.

I really like the LIGER belt - works for khakis as well as at the range.

The Wilderness Instructor belt is THE industry standard.

 

If I were pimpin', I'd get an OSOE Cobra Belt.

 

Here's a quick video on choosing a carry setup and on what you want from a belt:

I can also vouch for The Beltman. I have an 1 1/2" Bullhide and love it.

It is outside of your price range, but I have a comp-tac kydex reinforced contour belt. I have worn it almost every day for two years and it is holding up nicely. if you hold it up by the buckle it will stand up and not flop over!

[TyGuy]

I got one at Cabelas for $30. I actually bought two.

[Milhouse86]

Got mine from Hanks clothing. It is their Amish Belt. Works great!

[Jeff Johnson]

You won't need the best premium belt with a Crossbreed SuperTuck. I find most any reasonable belt works with mine. I have a Kramer reinforced leather gunbelt that is very much appreciated when carrying a full size 1911 or my 629 OWB on my hip.

I found a guy on sigforum that make GREAT belts. I have two and they are superb. Recieved mine within a week. Options for buckles and color and the price can't be beat.

I have no relationship with the maker other than being a customer.

I just ordered the 511 arc. Its a leather 1.5" - I'll post back with how well it works with the Crossbreed SuperTuck.

[Tompo]

Thanks for all the great options.

 

I just couldn't justify spending $100 (or more) on a belt. Esp. living (most of the year) here in Illinois, where we don't have CCW (YET!)

 

I'm also going to check out Cabela's--mainly for sizing. I've found it hard to order a gun belt, over the internet. I like to try it on for size. I'd like to eliminate ordering the wrong size, if I can.

 

thanks again for all the great choices...

Those are very nice looking belts. They look sturdy with the double stitching on the edges.

[pyre400]

All day today with the 511 Arc, working in the yard. Very comfortable thus far.

 

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the buckle is held on with chicago screws, so I can replace it should I ever want a different buckle.

 

The belt is very sturdy, but I'll see how it holds up. My last belt got ugly quick from the crossbreed clips.

 

$50 isnt too bad - so far I'm happy with my purchase.
