I use Bullhide's Indestructible Belt.

http://www.bullhidebelts.com/Indestructible-Belt_ep_95-1.html

What I like is the ability to use it outside of work (get down in the dirt and moisture with it) and just wipe it clean. It doesn't warp out as well if you like it rather snug to secure your IWB.

+1 on this!


I bought one of these as a CCW belt, and it is a GREAT belt. I've seen a lot of various belts specifically for CCW that weren't built as well as this is. Its VERY heavy duty, extra thick hardware, literally screwed together with heavy duty stuff. I'd recommend one of these in a heartbeat.

5.11 also makes a leather belt that is also reinforced and good for CCW. It runs about $40.

Is it this one? I purchased one, after just a few wears the finish begins to crack very badly. Great belt, if no one is ever to see it.

I got one of those awhile ago, and I no longer recommend it. What I presume to be kydex sandwiched between the leather layers has snapped, and the belt is now held by only the leather. Also, the clips of the IWB holster started to chip the leather.

Ended up ordering the bull hide indestructible belt, we'll see how long it will last.

For a lighter weight handgun ,carried in dress situations ,many of the belts (not woven) will be serviceable for decades.

Seems belts are another item you get what you pay for . I have an AllenEdmunds that has a pronounced dip on the strong side from carrying a 1911 with IWB sparks holster . The belt still looks good ,although its crooked when hanging.
In retrospect the Dillion model for $70. Would have served the purpose better .

I have an Ares Ranger and a Volund Gearworks Atlas.

They are both plenty stiff and micro-adjustable which I think is a must for any belt that is going to support a gun, especially if you have various guns and IWB holsters that you use.

Putting the Ranger on can be a pain getting the larger buckles through belt loops. The Atlas belt solves this problem with the low profile buckle.

Making adjustments and un/buckling throughout the day is easier with the Ranger's buckle though.

The Atlas's buckle is a lot lower profile. And although the adjustments are a lot harder to make, it stays there a lot better than the Ranger.

Both belts support my G26 in various IWB holster extremely well.

I used to wear a beltman belt for daily wear, but it only lasted 6 months before I wore it out. The leather stretched

I switched to a Ares ranger belt last July as my daily wear belt and it is still working. It has no noticeable stretch yet, although the material has lost some of its rigidity. It is still rigid enough for wearing a holster.

RE tonyxcon's problem about micro adjustments, I've never found that to be an issue on the Amish belts. They have adjustments close enough that in heavy, light, or otherwise odd clothing, they seem to work out well. Just food for thought.

[voiceofreason]

I use an Ares Ranger as well. I take the buckle off when threading it through pant loops.

Very stiff and effective gun belt.

Cobra buckle is a dead giveaway IMO.

I do not own one but these look very nice and am looking at possibly getting one. They have different styles of buckles as well.

Those look really nice. I'd bet that they are as equal or close to the Amish belts too. Only thing is I can buy two of the others for the price of one of those.

I love my Beltman belts. Good service too when I needed new Chicago screws.
