I just got one from Daltech Force. Nice belt and nice folks to deal with at a reasonable price, $49.

I recently bought one from beltman. Very good quality and I am pleased with my Purchase..about $85.00

I have a 5.11 trainer belt that works real well. Or if you want leather Bullhide belts come highly recommended.

Try one of these. They are made with kydex between two
strips of leather.

In addition to good holsters, Simply Rugged makes good belts, too. All heavy duty cow hide.

I've got several belts that I'm very happy with. Two of them are from Bullhide Belts. Very nice, really good quality leather. They run anywhere from $62 up depending on the options you go with. I wear their Distressed Leather Bullhide belt everyday.

I also bought one from Jack Russell Leather. Price on it was $45 shipped. It's very nice for the price and works perfect for carrying a firearm but the leather quality isn't as nice as the Bullhide belts.

A quality thick leather belt absolutely makes carrying much more enjoyable.

Armour Belts (formerly Jerry Bissell) makes nice ones.

I had two custom leather belts made by "Black Dog" a one person leather crafter in Martinsburg, PA. Excellent work and reasonable price. Hard to find heavy leather belts that will support firearm, reloads, and light unless going custom these days. These belts have held up for several years now. Also had a few J-frame IWB holsters custom made. Took awhile but I am very pleased.

Crossbreed makes belts also. If you are worried about cost, check out crossbreedseconds.com.

Thank you all, for the quick reply.

You'll pay for a quality double thickness leather- gun -belt, and it'll be one of the best investments you ever made.

I've never heard a bad word about thebeltman.net.

I wear BullHide belts every day. They make a great product.

I've got a couple of belts from Beltman and one (on clearance) from Galco.

The Beltman's belts are top notch. I am thinking about getting one of horsehide since that would be just a bit thinner. Haven't decided yet.

My Glock 43 in a Crossbreed AIWB is not overly heavy and rides well with the Beltman.

You might take a look at Mitch Rosen's Express Line. I have a couple of his models and really like them. Quality leather, basic and affordable.

Dillon Reloading also sells his products under their Dillon Leather section and the same belts are carried there.

I've bought more than a few gun belts over the years……the best, in my opinion, by a long shot……Beltman, get the "plastic"…..or what ever it is…..insert, you will not be disappointed, and I carry a 5" 1911….very nice belts.

Semper Fi!

I like the Galco SB2 as an OTC belt.

I have a closet full.

I really like Hanks Amish belts, I have a 1.5 & a 1.75, but finally settled on their "Hanks Premier Double Leather English Bridle Belt".

I've been wearing it for a couple of years and it gets better with use.

Wild Bill's Concealment Leather double thickness bullhide belts are the bee's knees, in my opinion. I have two that I have worn daily for a few years now and they still are doing a great job of supporting my off duty Glock 22. I just finished a two year assignment in Internal Affairs and wore these belts twelve to sixteen hours a day with all my plainclothes gear.
They sell online or are usually at gunshows in the Mid-Atlantic region. Belts run around $75, if I recall correctly...

I like the Galco SB2 as an OTC belt.

I like this too. They do stretch over time so that may or may not work out for you. I've tossed all my tactical/wilderness belts as the dang velcro is brutal on the "dry" type shirts, it rips them right up.

Sneaky Pete also makes belts. You might take a look:

My everyday belts are made by The Wilderness. I have the ubiquitous instructor belts in 1.75 and 1.50 sizes. I have the 1.25 version of the ring belt for dress pants...you know, court and training etc. when I have to wear nice britches. The one that gets used the most is the 1.50 since I can wear it with shorts.

I don't get too worried about the instructor belt looking like a "gun belt" as some have mused. It's concealed anyway. But it holds a gun, mag, phone etc etc very well and they're not over priced. Besides, The Wilderness belts are the originals. They'll also re-do your Velcro for you for a small fee. If your belts shrink, (like mine did) I had them re-do all three of them. Saved me $10.00 ea. for the instructor buckles and $4.00 for the ring buckle. $24.00 is nothing to shake a stick at since I would otherwise be paying for new belts @ $42.00 a piece.

Check then out. Even if you don't live in AZ like I do, you can always send the belts in for repairs etc. They have instructions on their site. Lucky me, they do the repairs while you wait if your local.

What is anyone doing about size when you order online. I know belts can vary and I would rather be a little long than short. Is ordering you regular size, 2 inches bigger than waist or go up a size.

It's easy. Follow the instructions on the belt makers site.

Another vote for Beltman. Yes, they're a little on the expensive side, relatively speaking, but they're very high quality. I've had two for the last 4+ years, 1.5" and 1.25", and they're my go-to belts whether I'm carrying a gun or not.

I also have a 1.5" 5-stitch Wilderness Frequent Flyer belt, but it doesn't get used much outside the home because I prefer my Beltman belts.
