Gun belt recommendations

[Knob Creek]

+1 on the wilderness belt. I use it for IDPA and regular use. Very well made.

Another vote for the Wilderness belt. I don't know of any other that holds as tight. BTW, I thread mine on the opposite way. That way the velcro is not under my (Right Hand) holster.

I use the Diamond D Custom Leather belt. Same as Hickok45, but in black!

I have the galco CLB5. Inexpensive and sturdy without being stiff.

Okay guys. I bought a belt from Bull Hide belts more than 4 years ago and wear it almost every day. It is still like new. I think it will last me the rest of my life. I got the Super Bio with stainless steel buckle. Try one and you can carry a full size 1911 like me and it just won't wear out.

The 5.11 operator belt is $29.99 in black on amazon now. Very good belt in my opinion.

Another vote for Hank's Amish belts. I have been wearing mine daily, going on 2 years. Extremely satisfied, especially for the price and I have tried a couple others that cost 2&3 times what the Hank's belts cost.

Mine is less than a year old and the two layers of leather are separating at the most commonly used hole. This belt might be ok for occasional use, but mine is headed for early retirement very soon.

The belt I'm referring to is the operators belt and is nylon.

Mitch Rossen from NH.

x2 on Mitch Rosen. I have had two of his belts for over a year. No sign of wear and does not scream gun belt. If you are looking for a rigger type belt try Brown Coat tactical. Very well made.

Thanks, I just ordered one!

I was wondering about them. I started following them on FB before they had belts available and was curious.

I recently ordered one and it arrived today. If you want to check it out before ordering let me know I am in Carver

I have about 6 years of everyday use on my comp-tac kydex reinforced belt and it still looks nearly new. The kydex reinforcement works great.

I've had a wilderness instructor's belt for years and like it.

Wanted to try a different buckle, and just got one of these belts with a cobra buckle. A bit of a 'finagle' to put on & adjust, but once done it's great.

I'm waiting till after Christmas to get a Wilderness belt. I have a hanks Amish belt and there isn't enough adjustability and comfort to go around my fat.

 

[free]

I vote for hanks too. have two 1.5" and a 1.75" really good. To increase adjustability, I punched in extra holes between some of the stock holes.

Just remember to keep the chicago screws tight, I lost one, just like losing glock sights or grip screws on my sigs..

 

[Oldarmy]

I too use the belt from Hank's. Nice belt, good price and very thick leather. http://www.hanksclothing.com/hanks_amish_belts_ccw_the_gunner.html

Yankee Marshal has a video about a craftsman in a local artists' mall/farmers' market type place in Portland Oregon who makes gun belts. I'm thinking there's gotta be someone within a couple hours' drive of Boston who's like this, maybe working out of a similar type of market, or going to craft fairs, or maybe just working out of his or her house, who's friendly to our cause (i.e. doesn't freak out about making a "gun belt"). Anybody?

 

[Caveman]

Mitch Rosen and Comptac here. I ahem... outgrew my mitch rosen and now use the Comptac kydex reinforced. Been using it for 2-3 years and love it.

The Beltman is expensive, but offers a large number of options.
1.25", 1.5", 1.75"
horsehide, bullhide, elephant hide
internal stiffener
buckles
I've worn one every day for the last 4 years with no issues.

Wherever you get your belt, if it uses Chicago screws, use blue Locktite on them and get some spares in the belt color.
Also, use the manufacturer's sizing guidelines.
