Just put in my order for a Wilderness Tactical 5-stitch Instructors Belt. Had a hard time deciding on a color, so I just went with black. Didn't really like the green, and the tan was too light. Hard to tell though as I am slightly colorblind. Pics never do colors justice so unless I see one in person it is a tough choice. Can't go wrong with black though, should help conceal the standard black clips on my CBST.
Supposed to arrive the end of this week, probably friday or saturday. I can't wait. The belt I am using is a POS, one of those fabric ones that comes with cargo shorts. I lost the aluminum grommet that goes in the hole I use, so now it is just stretching it bigger. Couldn't stand it any more, must have something better. What I was most upset about was (and I didn't even think of this earlier) I have a really nice Tony Llama belt I wear a lot and have had for five or six years, but my CBST just doesn't work right with it (neither does my otterbox!)
I had a hard time not going with a nice leather belt, like one from CB or one of the Amish ones. I just felt this one provides more fine adjustment, as opposed to using either this notch or the next one.
Will try to give my first impressions when it arrives.
EDIT: Ok, was busy yesterday and didn't get around to posting. I did find the belt at my doorsetp yesterday after work. So far it is top notch, WAY better than the POS belt I was using. I think I underestimated how heavy the buckle would be. This thing could be used as a weapon. Seems to be very well made. I carried with it last night while running some errands, really held the gun nice and tight against my body. I am loving the fact that you can get the tension just right, there is no choosing between two notches where one is too loose and one is too tight. This allows a perfect fitting, and can easily be adjusted if I happen to stuff my face with a huge greasy hamburger and fries.
I wore it at work today (not CCing), I could tell I wasn't having to pull up my sagging pants throughout the day. So it works well without a weapon, although I was carrying an iPhone and handheld radio (walkie-talkie, if they are still called that) on the belt. No complaints so far.
Who else here uses these? Thoughts?
