About a month ago I purchased a belt from Bob Kitchener of Dangerous Threads. This was an eBay buy from his online store.

This is a thick, heavy single-ply belt that supports my fully loaded 1911 quite well. It is 1 1/2" with a substantial roller buckle. I've also worn it with my Blade-Tech and hs2k. There is no sag or pull away from the waist, and virtually no movement. Although single-ply has a tendency to stretch more than a two-ply, the thickness of this belt should keep it to a minimum. It is a no-nonsense, plain flat black belt with substantial snaps to hold the buckle. It also is available in brown and burgundy.
The cost is $18.00 plus $4.50 shipping. If you're looking for an inexpensive gunbelt, you could do much worse, IMO.

My nags came up for the photo shoot...

Thanks for the review! Looks pretty decent for the cost.

I bought one of those belts a few months back. I like it, but I'm still searching for a cheap belt thats thicker or mulitiple plies.

I suggest looking at the Wilderness Frequent Flyer belt sold by Gunner's Alley if you're interested in a ballistic nylon material. This is a comfortable and supportive set-up.

I took your advice and bought their belt. Never thought I would find an affordable gunbelt. Thanks

I have 2 of their belts, very happy with them and the price can't be beat!
