Belts? - XDTalk Forums

dazedkraut · 11-07-2009, 07:34 PM

I know this may sound stupid, but are any of you guys using a particular belt that is a bit more heavy duty than a normal one for CC? I have a jacket with an inside pocket that I usually use for CC, but now I am switching to IWB or OWB, and was wondering if there are better belts, or if it's pretty much just finding a good one at the store. Thanks for the input!

most holster makers like crossbreed and high noon, make CC belts also, check out their websites.

i just looked at crossbreeds website and its 59.95 for a belt. 1.5 inches and 1/4 thick. sounds like a real quality product.

I'm currently using a 5.11 tactical belt. Leather Casual Belt - 1.5" | Belts | 5.11 Tactical

It's pretty comfortable, but it doesn't have a whole lot of adjustment. Wearing the belt without my gun (IWB) and it fits fine, but with my gun I'm on the last whole.

It doesn't help that they don't do exact sizing like many custom makers. I normally wear a 32, but I'd guess with my gun and holster I'm closer to 34.

I use a 1.75" LEO belt with the velcro fastener rather than a foldback or buckle. $11 and all the adjustments you could ever want.

The beltman is hard to beat.
