I am looking for a good gun belt. I have a wilderness tactical synthetic belt, that is fully adjustable, but it is so ugly I never want to wear it. I would love something similar that looks less like military gear, but is as sturdy. That in mind I am thinking I need to go leather. I would like to find someone local that makes good quality gun belts. Searched the forum, but not finding the info I am looking for. Any recommendations? I am not dead set on local, but I would prefer it. (Local being the Portland metro area)
Amazon.com: 5.11 double duty belt: Clothing & Accessories Maybe a little too simple or cheap but i've been very pleased with the one i have.
If you go leather make sure it has some kind of insert. I started with a high quality thick leather belt and never could get it to stop stretching. Spent about half as much on a Wilderness and couldn't be happier
I use Carrhart belts as gun belts. They are well made, wide and thick and very reasonable in price. I have never had a problem with stretch. They also have a large selection of long belts to fit my expanding fat storage system!
not local but I carry a full size 1911 all day everyday comfortably in Quick ship belts, custom gun belts by A & G Custom Gun Leather
I actually bought a very heavy leather belt at bimart recently,for about 20 bucks,maybe less.check it out,it's pretty darned decent belt.I wear it at our tactical match with my 1911 and 2 mag holders.
Thanks everyone for the reply's! I will check into these suggestions. Hopefully this thread will also help someone else. Exactly what I asked for, thank you! I will check them out. Good to know! Love bimart. Will take a look there also. Options are good.
Loopers makes a great leather gun belt. It's 2 pieces of leather with a piece of kydex sandwiched between. I've had mine for about 5 years and it still looks great! You can get them through Loopers directly or through Blade-Tech. The Blade-Tech one is made for them, by Loopers. Same awesome belt though!
He is not local, but you might look at Custom Gun Belts, Custom Leather Belts from A & G Custom Gun Leather Al is a great guy to deal with and you won't be disappointed because he won't let you be. I have several of his belts and have recommended him to family and friends who have all been well satisfied.
