Need recommendations on belts for carrying a pistol

[Rafter-S]

I need a good, heavy-duty 1-1/4" wide dress belt suitable for carrying a pistol. The leathersmith I got my last one from has retired. He made them double thickness and they were strong enough to not stretch after many years of wear.

I know Milt Sparks makes a pretty good belt and I don't mind spending the $95 he asks. But does anyone have positive experience with other makers of quality gun belts?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I rather like the Ross Gun Leather belts Brownells has. You do have to get 'em 2-4 inches larger than you actual waist size, depending upon how much stuff you're gonna hang on the belt.

Ken Null does great work.

Mernickle makes a good gun belt too.

I have to agree with Mickey D on the Beltman belts.

Try Lobogunleather on this site..he made me one for my 686 4" and it works great. Ray has been there ....done that so he knows how to build one. Check out his website. There is another post on this thread about Ray...a few down from here.

Rafter S belts are very thick..if you get one, make sure it will make it through your holster slots....

You do NOT need a "gunbelt" to properly carry a gun. Coach and Trafalger make "dress" belts that are more than sufficient for just about any sidearm, and they don't make the wearer look like a cop...unless the wearer is also sporting Corfam shoes.

Be safe.

PS:

There are Coach outlets just about everywhere.

I don't think I have ever seen a cop with a gun belt...they cost too much....cops usually buy the cheapest crap they could fine.

Sip, How you going to tell if it fits the slots.....unless you buy the belt first???? Just a thought! Bob

Another vote like Mickey D. And my wife thought it was better-looking than other decent belts I had been wearing.
