Gun Belts

[Dr. Gonzo]

A good carry setup starts with a quality gun belt so what do you guys, who are strapped IWB, use?

I just got a Milt Sparks VM2 for my Colt Commander and need a good belt. Like holsters, there seems to be endless options.

I would be interested in this. I've been using a regular leather belt but would like to move to an actual gun belt

I don't have an actual gun belt, but I wear a heavy duty Carhartt belt every day and I've never noticed any ill effects.

I have an Aliengear belt. No complaints. Any heavy duty/thick belt should work fine though.

That's a nice looking, sturdy belt, and not all that expensive at $59.88 ($44.88 when you buy a holster).

I've heard the 3-speed holster is worth a look.

I use one of several 5.11 belts with most jeans, shorts, or tactical pants. Have a few Galco leather belts for fancier dress. I always try to wear a 1.5-1.75" belt, whichever my belt loops allow. I find that even dress pants will almost always allow a 1.5" belt and it's about the minimum for a carry belt. 2" is great but most pants (even tactical pants) won't allow it.

I came across Bigfoot Gun Belts. They use English bridle leather and a spring steel core. All the reviews I see are favorable. Anyone have experience with these belts?

Galco gun leather makes a good belt and so does The Beltman

Al is awesome. When my mom died suddenly he picked up the phone and called me and did something very nice for me. The dude is a class act and knows his leather.

Hand made to your specifications. Best belt I've ever worn. It's amazing how much more durable hand made leather is compared to the dipped stuff mass produced in the store. No fading, cracking, or stretching. I'll never buy a belt off the rack again.

Just go to your local leather craftsman store. We have a guy local that custom makes holsters and he always has a selection of gun belts available.

You can also go to your local LE supply store. They wear their gear everyday, so they can tell you what is good and what is bad.

If you want high quality and some custom badassery...

Everything from Savoy is top notch and extremely reasonable for custom leather work.

I just bought one on Amazon, Dangerous Threads is the brand. Was about $45. Nearly any heavy duty belt works just fine.
