Default Over-trouser Gunbelt

Anyone carrying with an old-fashioned gunbelt+holster, the sort that is separate from your trouser belt and is generally 2"+ in width? If so, pics of your setup as-worn would be appreciated. I've thought about having such a setup available as an open carry option, particularly for "BBQ gun" duty, but worry it might be too cowboyish for someone who lives in the city.

Here be mine......
Bordering on "cowboyish" I guess, but I couldn't resist.

I'm planning on making one that's a little more subdued.....maybe......nahhhhhhhh!!

I have one, just like this, but in all black, for "dress BBQ."



It is from this gal:
Purdy Gear

Very pricey, but a must have for those special occasions, like the Governor's BBQ for the Texas Rangers, which I never get an invitation to - but want to be ready, just in case!

p.s. By the way, as shown in my post and the one above - stainless pistols are definitely a no-no.

I find the separate gunbelt more comfortable over the long days and into the nite details...

Also, like my pant belt to match my gunbelt...For wearin' out in public,



If'n I were to be hostin' a shindig for close friends or a little fiesta...I might 'Cowboy' it up a mite and sport this'n,



Su Amigo,
Dave

Wow! Those rigs make my Hecho en Mexico leather belt and nylon holster look like the proverbial bottom of the heap. Then again, when you're carrying on a tractor it works for me! Them snakes, coyotes and bunnies don't seem to mind a bit.
