Concealed carry belt

[WDE91]

I am needing a new belt so I figured getting a belt that could be used for concealed carry would be good.

I do not dress in a "tactical" sense, so I'm not wanting a 1.75" unicorn hide reinforced super belt.

I am wanting to spend about $50'ish or so.

Currently I'm looking at these options

Anyone have any input or suggestions. Thanks.

No issues with my Triple K belt. Pretty sturdy, nice buckle, seems like good leather, made in San Diego iirc. Cost me like $35 on amazon.

I use it for idpa and to hold my pants up on the daily.

Here you go. It's from last week:

I bought a Daltech belt and liked it so well that I bought a second one in a different color. Both work great for me. A good variety to fit different needs at reasonable prices too.

If i want to get a cinch type belt, mostly for daily use and carry at home. how much slack or extra to pull do I need for IWB a G21 SF ?

I've been using hanks Amish for a year. No complaints, it does exactly what I want and doesn't look like a tactical gun belt. I would buy it again if I were to do it all over. Make sure you order a few sizes bigger than what you wear. I wear size 30 pants without a gun stuffed into them and needed the size 36 belt. This gives me three more belt holes I can use later on if I get fat

Spend a bit more for a Comp-Tac belt. They are very comfortable, don't look tactical, and have lots of support.

I have a Hanks Amish and I'm not a huge fan. The section of leather that wraps over the buckle is too bulky. I think it's because they don't cinch it that tight. It really makes the buckle protrude.

Right now I'm using a Volund Gearworks Atlas belt, but it doesn't work in more dressy environments. For those I tend to fall back on my Seecamp/pocket carry.

I have a couple of the Hanks Amish belts....great belts but I ended up sourcing other buckles as the ones from Hanks tarnished / dulled fairly quickly.

Maxpedition has a Liger gun belt that is great. It's about $70, but I've worn mine almost everyday for over 4 years.

This is important. Right before my divorce I was on the last notch of my gun belt* and this is in CA where I dont get to CCW- that was all me. I think I got above 225lbs!

Since the divorce, Ive been much happier and working off that beerbelly. I am now 3 notches back but for a few weeks there I started fearing that I would have to start using that ridiculous blackhawk riggers belt I bought. Thank goodness it didn't get that bad lol


* I pretty much just own/use one belt- the one that I got from crossbreed. Its black and goes great with jeans or slacks so I haven't had any real reason to buy a regular (thinner) belt.

I have a $35 letter DeSantis gun belt from MidwayUSA and it works really well whenever I feel like using it (lately I've been using des reef nylon gun belts that don't look like gun belts since they're lighter, not as thick but a lot stronger & stiffer).

I use one of these bullhide belts from Top Gun Supply: http://www.topgunsupply.com/premium-...black-36-.html

It's stiff and torque-resistant, but it's comfortable to wear and it looks like a regular leather belt. It will be about $80 shipped, but I think it's worth it.

Here's another option for you to research. I have no experience with this company but i've been eyeballing them.
