Belt Recommendation - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I'm brand new to this thread & XD. Thanks to all the knowledgable folks out here, as I've already picked up a bunch!

I've seen a few postings around asking for holster recommendations, but didn't see much on belts. Any recommendations on a 1 1/2" nylon belt? I didn't easily find anyhing below 1 3/4" when googling and thought someone here might know.

Thanks!

Wilderness belts.

Welcome to the forum.

I have a Wilderness type belt (It's a Galco knock off), and it's quite good, but limited in terms of fashion.

If you want a high quality, affordable leather belt, I'd strongly recommend Rafter S gunleather. (www.raftersgunleather.com) By far the most affordable belt in it's class.

I have a Rafter S Gunleather belt. I like it a lot. I use it even when I am not carrying. But otherwise it is a nice stiff strong leather belt where my holster stays put. I couldn't afford their more 'exotic' leathers, but I turst that they are all very high quality.
They are a very good looking daily wear belt that gives no signs of what you might be hanging on them.

Thanks for the help!!

Wilderness was *exactly* what I was looking for but couldn't find. Just ordered the belt & let 'em know this forum is where they got the biz from.

I was primarily looking for a decent IDPA belt to use with a holster I already had and like, but with only 1 1/2" belt slots. As soon as my carry permit comes in, I'll check out the leather sites too. Again, thanks!

Blackhawk has a stealth pistol belt...looks like a normal 1.25" dress belt.

Not cheap though.

i have it, and dont recomend it. that belt is not as rigid as others and it is built cheaper, or so it seams.

The Hume belts are good looking and can be worn with every-day attire. They are lined and very rigid, perfect for CCW. I like them, and use them for competition. I have access to a lot of belts, and like the Hume belts the best.
