My first real belt.

I have MTR custom leather and Mernicle. Both make awesome belts and holsters. http://mernickleholsters.com

That one is really doing it for me.

The gunner at hanks is cool, but the buckle reviews got me worried

[Bawanna]

That looks really good and dirt cheap for as good as it looks. The roller buckle is the ticket and that one looks nice. Not too bulky like some.

I'd not hesitate to go for it myself.

That looks like the one I've been wearing for years and it is holding up great. It was made by some guy referred to from forums, but I don't think he is doing it anymore. Might be the guy Bawanna was trying to think of. I would buy the Daltechforce one. I don't worry about the size changing. My belt size hasn't changed in 40 years.

It's double stitched, roller stainless buckle, beveled edges and sealed edges. Even available with 3/4 hole spacing. It's perfect.
I think I will order the 3/16 and not the 1/4 thick. Doesn't seem necessary with a light weapon.
And I should get the 1.5? Would the 1.25 do?
Seems like the 1.25 would do fine and be much less obvious.
Am I crazy or should I get the 1.5?

Free shipping and has everything I want for 60.00

^^ i've been wearing one that's just single stitched for +/- 2 years now and still works great. There are a couple of vendors who show up at local gun shows and sell them real cheap.

I think you'd be fine with 1.25 if that's your normal size and style. I'd probably go the thicker if you go 1.25.
Rigidity is what you seek and thickness is what gets you there.

Nothing like a good stiff belt ya know?

[Bobshouse]

When you can roll up a thick, stiff leather gun belt to fit into a small box, I become suspect. My belt is so stiff, it barely bends around me.

Now this one looks really nice: https://www.daltechforce.com/special...rnal-stiffener

Same company, but has steel reinforcement, pretty nice! Id get the 1/4th Bullhide with the steel liner, 1.5 inches wide. That will spread the weight of your attachments around your whole waist and stop the sagging on your gun side.

Did you see the belt on a box?

[Bawanna]

The investigator dress belt at the bottom of that same page linked to looks good too. 1.25 and kind of dressy if you have to dress up for work and stuff.
With optional stiffener it would be close to a 100 bucks but a lot of good gun belts are 100 bucks easy.
I didn't see a box either.
When mine was new (I forgot to try and find the guys name) you could almost hold it out straight in front of you.
It's a good belt, need to put some polish or something on it from sliding stuff on and off it.
