So you want to call us up and ask us the “what belt do I want” question!
Like all of the holster and apparel question, the next question all of the new gun carriers are the “do you have a good belt” which means they need a stiff belt so the holster doesn’t ruin it. I like many, learned by making mistakes or just not having the information at hand to make the right decisions. I still have a few belts in the house that are obvious early gun belts because they all have the holster crunch. There are differences in gun belts, you want a stiff belt but some belts can be too stiff and feel like you have a hula hoop around your waste. Even the Blackhawk pistol belts that we sold were discontinued for a slightly less stiff design. The Desantis gun belts are more money but had a better reputation. We are waiting to get the new Blackhawk Pistol belts and get them to our customers for feedback.
The quick fixes for gun belts are the Elite Survival Cobra belts and the Wilderness belts. The belts have different buckles or ways to latch but The Wilderness belts that we stock have been our primary for almost 9yrs now. Lots of people are shocked to drive up to our Broomall, PA showroom and find a tactical store that actually stocks them. I personally have used them for almost 15yrs and the support they give is excellent. I first started out carrying a 1911 and that did a job on my previous gun belts but it was very easy to forget that you had a gun own you because the support was so good.
