Belt for ccw

For the longest time I just bought the heaviest one I could find at the Wal-Mart or similar...then bought a Hank's Belt. I will never buy a lighter one again, makes a lot of difference.

I bought a web belt a while back that Smokewagon posted, a little over 20 bucks, and I've been impressed with it so far. It's heavy nylon and is holding up well and is quite stiff. I can't find the link.

I recommend you get a belt from here.

I've been using one of theirs for many years now.
This one. https://www.crossbreedholsters.com/belts/gun-belts/classic-gun-belt.html
It has held fine and does not sag at all despite carrying a Springfield XD40 and 2 spare loaded mags all those years.

I just bought a Mission Elite EDC web belt off of Amazon that I really like. Under $15 and nice stiff double thickness belt. Only drawback is I wear shorts just about every day and this is too thick to go back thru the belt loops twice to tuck it in.

Hank's belts are the best I have ever seen for CCW. I have a lot of me overhanging my belt and I can still comfortably Carry a 1911 with no problems.

They have different belts available for Carrie. I use the Gunner and have no problems at all I love the belt

I've got a 5.11 reversible nylon belt and love it. Wear it with jeans and shorts.

I have 3 Hank belts and love them all . Get the 1.25” size tho , that fits most belt holsters made . I got a 1.75” but too wide for holsters unless you have the clip over belt type holster .

They don't offer a 1.5"? All my belts and holsters are 1.5" width.

I just use my Levis belt. Solid leather (no filler) and 1.5 wide. It is just a hair move ⅛ thick. I do not have any overhang and I tried a Hanks belt and fount it very uncomfortable. I carried my SD9VE on it and it was fine. The G2Cis les of challenge for the belt cost $19. Think if I has an overhang it would not be as goodinch waist are great, but it is hard to find the right size in trousers. I tried a webbed belt but the clasps were so thick that they would not go through some belt loops. I use it for OWB carry for which I always use an accessory belt.

just came back from COSTCO shopping. Thay have the belts for $14. That is about $8 less than retailers.

I have 2 belts from "A Better Belt". You will not find better customer service should you ever need it!

This is an excellent reversible belt with two colors: black and tan. Any double thickness, leather belt should work as well. If you live in Texas or really anywhere there is a western wear store, you should be able to find a good, stiff, double thickness western belt or work belt. Mine (obviously) are tooled and quite stiff, which works well with the pancake holster and mag pouch that I normally carry.

I have a Kore Essentials Trak Line X4. Best belt I've every owned and a gift from Mrs. Chef so extra special.

Best belt that I tried, bought and use daily is from Bigfoot. Not the most expensive belt out there but the best that I have tried.

Another vote for Hanks belts... I own 2 and they have both held up well even after years of carry!

Drop my name in the hat for Hanks.

I don't own one of these but I've been around some people that do and they all swear by them
