Interesting single layer strap belt. No doubt that it is as thick as they claim and as others have stated already, however, it is a single layer strap belt. I've seen them before at many shows and many places that sell real leather belts. My point of curiosity is to what those that bought them have first hand experienced in the belt in a top to bottom pressure point is the leather that stiff? If you try to "pinch" the belt from top edge to bottom edge does it give, i.e. if you grab it like you are giving it a hand-shake does it give? The reason for dual layer belts being glued and stitched together it to provide natural resistance and stability against collapsing from top edge to bottom edge. This is what provides a stable platform for your holster. A certain maker even beveled his belts from centerline out to the edge to provide an even more natural physics against a collapse of edge to edge. Curious as to what those that have bought these single layer strap belts have experienced in this. Feedback?
$30 gun belt?

Very good point. "Thickness isn't all that matters".

I just received the two belts I ordered. The shipping was very fast.
Looking over the belts I'm very pleased They are very stiff I tried to fold 'flex them and am happy to say they passed my test. Time will tell how they will hold up but so far I'm happy.

I just received a Brown,creased with screws.Ordered 11/18,received 11/24.I could not be happier.The belt is substantial a full 1/4 inch thick according to my measurements.Used it today at the range and its a keeper.Free shipping for 1st time buyer if you apply the code they email you.The company suggests if you wear a size 36(I wish) to order a 38.Based on what l have read l ordered 2 sizes larger and it worked well for me.Good service, fast shipping,I am planning on two more as gifts for my sons.

How do you get the first time buyer free shipping? I didn't see the option
If you register at and order from their website, they email you a code you can use for free shipping.
I've got three of them. If they're not the same brand, they're the same thing. Single layer belt a 1/4" or so thick. I got two of them from a local guy that sells holsters. They just came in a plain plastic bag. The other one I got off Ebay. They were all about $30.00 or so.
The hold my pants and my guns up just as well as the two, hundred dollar Beltman belts I've got.
(It does seem they're shrinking though. I have to use the more outer holes these days for some reason.)

I was hoping that you were referencing a traditional Ranger leather belt that was enhanced for holster wear. Those look nice and all but frankly way too tactical for my use. Now, if it were an enhanced Ranger belt that was the traditional Ranger belt (leather, smaller tang of leather over overlapped full size, with brass buckle) I'd go for it in a heartbeat.

Im gonna order one. Just need to pick a style. Plain. Creased, or distressed. What type you guys got that have one?

sip, I took the creased, and with screws for the buckle attachment.
I see a comment about not being "stiff" enough.
If mine were any more stiff / rigid, it would be difficult to fold it enough to insert in close belt loops on cargo pants.
I'm very pleased with mine.

I decided on the smooth black with screws. So I took half your advice.

I personally like TrackLine, no holes in belt, has metal interior sandwiched in belt. Automatic adjustment and no sag. The belt is $59.00. Especially made for Carrying. I don't use it at any other time.

I took the creased type to deflect as much as possible those on my sorry countenance.

How are supposed to keep track of how fat you are getting without being able to count belt holes???
