Gixxus Christ! Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 A guy in massillon owns a place alled Erie street leather. He makes his own belts, as wide and thick as you want. I talked to him for a while about gunbelts, he made his own and has made several for other customers. Worth checking out if its not too far of a ride.

Tonik Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Has anyone ever considered that you use a belt to hold your pants up, yet you need belt loops on your pants to keep the belt from falling off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have one from a custom holster maker up in Alaska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I bought a 5.11 one from some website for $5. They go on clearance every once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Has anyone ever considered that you use a belt to hold your pants up, yet you need belt loops on your pants to keep the belt from falling off.What do you mean to kept the belt from falling off? Like falling down? I don't think your belt is tight enough if it falls off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 so the general consensus is that its worth the money. I will get the old faithful. I'm really happy with the holster. I will post a review of both products when they arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yes, picked up a bullhide belt about 8 months ago, couldn't be happier.Just did the same thing 1 minute ago, literally. There's a really good thread in here about this exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_silverfox Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I use the 5.11 Operator belt as my every day wear. Infinitely adjustable, very strong, and keeps the holster in place. The Velcro closure keeps it the same tightness all day. Sometimes they end up cheap on eBay or someone sells a just opened one that didn't fit. http://www.511tactical.com/All-Products/Accessories/Belts/Operator-Belt-1-34-Wide.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I bought a 5.11 tactical and wear it daily. I spent a long time bot having one and wondering if it was worth the money. Wish I would have bought it a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDBGoalie Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I have two I use. I had a double-walled leather belt made with my holster from C5 Leather and it works great. I also use a 5.11 Operator (Double thickness) 1.75" wide belt. That has become my EDC since the extra adjustability allow me to achieve better comfort. Cheaper than a custom leather one too. The key is a double thickness. Elsewise its too floppy to support the weapon, IWB or OWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 So, just got my Bullhide gun belt in, holy shit, this thing is LEGIT. I mean it's 3x the thickness of what I thought was a "good" belt, as it's a name brand, and was not cheap. Yeah, the Bullhide belt was more expensive, BUT I pretty much already know it will NEVER stretch, will never wear out, and will last longer than I do. In the end I wear a 36 pant, and was told to order a 40 belt. When I measured it to my 38 name brand belt, they were the same size. That's how much the name brand belt stretched. No chance of that with the Bullhide, plus the color with the chrome double prong buckle looks tits. In the end, I am already looking forward to carrying more than I was with the newbie, and feel this will make me more willing to do so. Well worth the 62 or whatever the belt was, that's for sure. FWIW, I have a $5.00 online code for 1 use, if someone wants to use it, PM me, I don't need a black belt to carry as I can't to work, and would only use the brown belt to carry anywhere else I can. PM me for the code and all I ask is that if you buy one and get a discount code, and you won't be using it, do the same and offer it to the forum. Oh and I take ghey sexual favors too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Get the Atlas by Volhund gearworks out of Columbus. I have tried a few belts... This thing is hands down the best I've tried. I wear it everyday. Have used it for multiple classes, when running IWB, Appendix and OWB. I will advise to get a size bigger then you think you will need. Volund Howard picked his up in a hiking or climbing store down in Cbus instead of ordering it online, I will ask him where it was.

jch82 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I use an Uncle Mike's Instructor Belt that I picked up on Amazon for $26. I have had it since February and use on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Spectre belt here it is adjustable with velcro much better the leather imo. Due to it is way more adjustable, for inside or outside carry. And was only $36. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 In my case, I definitely couldnt do a mesh/webbing belt or whatever those things are, just not something I'd wear so went with a full leather design. After wearing it a few days, I will say I would order a size bigger than they advise, they advise adding 4 inches to your pant size, but in the end I wish I added 6. It will work for IWB(I do not like), or OWB which I prefer, but would have liked the extra 2 inches. Then again, more incentive to lose weight I guess.
