Any suggestions for a good gun belt? Right now I'm just using the leather belt I've always used. Doesn't seem sturdy enough.
I carry in a chest rig, always have. I don't have a big waist, 32", 6' 2" 190 lb, time I get my cell fone, keys, knife most of the real estate is taken. In the summer time I just keep it close in the truck, with an F 350 crew cab I can carry an arsenal in there.
True dat. I laugh my ass off every time those "untuckit" commercials come on . . . . I mean, why the hell would anyone want a fitted, shortish, untucked shirt that won't permit the shirt to cover a concealed firearm? Oh yeah--those commercials are aimed at metromales who would gasp in terror if they even touched a firearm. :lol:Also what Charlie said about buying shirts with longer shirt tails is a good idea!
Search the forum for gun belts - there’s been lots of discussions on that topic. Generally, they’ll take two forms; the better ones are either thick because of two thicker leather layers sown together or they’re thinner with some kind of thin stiffener layer (either a polymer or metal) sown in between.
The ones I shy away from are the very thick single layer thickness belts. My experience has been they start off well but loose their stiffness with wear (especially if they get wet - as in caught in a rain storm - they just never recover). IMHO; YMMV
