Right now I'm using some $12~ very adjustable belt off amazon, it's about 1.3" loop width and 1/16" thick. I've bought a Cloak Tuck 3.5 and I'm not sure about it. I'm trying to carry my G17 G4. I think I've found out how to carry it without printing too much, but I need to go shopping for better fitting clothes... Better fitting jeans have been on the list for a long time. (I know I could carry a smaller gun, the thing is my hands are bigger and I don't really like shooting my shield 9mm-Taurus 605 because of it. It's hard to use the palm of my finger)
I guess I'll talk about the belt part first. I'm scared to buy a $80~ belt and then find out it doesn't fit my waist properly, or it ends up stretching and then not fitting well. Maybe the holes will be too loose then the next is so tight that it's unreachable. Can anyone recommend a very adjustable nylon 1.5" belt for carry? That's a bit cheaper too or something similar to that?
I've got the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5. I'm thinking I'm going to buy a 2nd holster to compare, but not sure what. The current issue with this 3.5 is that the steel core will not let the holster flex... or maybe it's the way the kydex is much bigger then the gun. This makes 3 o clock impossible. On my 29"~ waist the holster is somewhere in the 4:30-5 o-clock position. It still leaves gaps but I found I can tighten my belt a bit more and it removes some of the gap and gets the magazine closer to my back, but then the belt digs into my hips.
I'm not sure if I want to get the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck Old Fashioned or one of Vedder's holsters. Thing is Vedder is a bit more expensive and I'm not sure on their build times. Their light tuck looks minimal. I've checked out where the gun would fit, without a holster and it hides pretty well. It's just the task of finding a holster that will allow it to work like that. I'm kinda leaning towards a Vedder Light Tuck, for that reason. But then I will definitely need a different belt for that holster though.
Thanks for any input and recommendations of holster and belts,
