    Default CCW gunbelts

    I need to buy a real CCW belt.

    I'm familiar with Wilderness and the other big name boys. My holster is a Sparks VMII. I'm trying to find a solid belt that you would consider inexpensive. Yes, I spent a fair amount on a holster, but a belt + shipping in the neighborhood of $100.00 is obscene to me.

    Does anyone know of a good leather belt for half that price? Is that an unreasonable expectation?

    www.tacticalgear.com

    I got both of my belts from them, reasonably priced, and don't scream GUN! to the uninitiated.

    The Beltman.net belts are worth the cost.

    You can get their "Quick Ship" belts for $87 shipped.

    For many years I fought this notion that something as expensive as the Beltman belt was worth it ... now that I finally bought one I figure I'll probably be buried with it on.


    You bought the Milt Sparks holster ... those aren't cheap. Good stuff rarely is.

    Default Tucker

    I went with Tucker Gun Leather for mine, liked the first one so much I bought a second one in brown for dress use. I wear the black one daily even if not CC for the last 4 years, best belt I have ever owned. Since I am a large man I went with the stiffener addition. Not a cheap belt but true quality never is and I went for the hand carved design as well.

    I have a $40 Galco belt that works just fine for me... it's thick (but not too rigid) and it provides pants support and holster support. Good luck.

    I picked up some Galco dress belts a couple of years ago. They look like normal middle-aged man belts, but give excellent support for the holster and don't fold or flop. A quality, purpose designed belt is as important as a quality holster.

    I went with A&G Custom Leather. If you're going to have a good holster, get a good belt. It's really a "system": can't have one without the other. I know, I tried...

    From walmart suprisingly I got a $18 or $25 belt that so far works fine for my belt holster. Many are floppy but browse the rack and they have a few pretty sturdy seeming ones.

    I've got a Triple K plain casual belt I picked up at Sportsmans Warehouse for about $40. It's double thickness and very heavy duty. I've worn it for several years.

    I just got an Aker velcro belt from my neighboring polce supply store on Friday (closeout at $16, I guess there's not too many skinny cops). Trying it out now. It's not as heavy duty as the Triple K, but the velcro closure makes it a lot more comfortable.
