I've tried a few expensive cool guy belts, but I keep coming back to the inexpensive better BDU belt. I like the 1.75 width and have no problems with belt loops. If you go with the 1.5 it is still pretty stiff and would certainly fit through the belt loops of almost any pant.

I have used one from Crossbreed holsters for several years now in OWB use. Usually a 1911 or Sig /220 or 229. Has held up fairly well, not ridiculously priced.

For cobra buckles you generally take the buckle off and feed the belt thru pant loops and holsters/gear as required, then put the buckle back on. I find it kinda tedious. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I’ve got my bullhide gunbelts
And my tactical rigger style belts ...but I just got one of these Kore Essentials gunbelts and it’s awesome. Kore Essentials These have a click-adjust track built into the back. Almost infinite adjustment. Very slick. Belt is nice and rigid too (has stiffening liner). |

I hate big buckles and Velcro on my belt. I find the Recycled Firefighter edc belt to be the best I’ve used so far. And it’s reasonably priced. I think they are 20% off right now too.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Those look super nice! The part of the buckle where you insert the back end of the belt is square and has pointed edges. Also the release lever will poke you in the gut as well if you dont point it downward. So I learned the hard way to try the belt with different pants and shorts and sit down a lot in different scenarios. Unfortunately I cut the belt first so no returns. Also I realize that the belt's edge profile matters a lot. MY belts have a tendency to ride up over the top of my pants edge and contacts my skin directly. This can cause discomfort in some situations. YMMV. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just got a Kore belt. Meh. One thing no one tells you is that the buckle is larger than other belts because of the belt to buckle attachment system. A lever locks the belt to the buckle for sizing. The part of the buckle where you insert the back end of the belt is square and has pointed edges. Also the release lever will poke you in the gut as well if you dont point it downward.

I'm looking for a new leather belt and am considering A Better Belt but I've never had a 3 piece belt before. Do you think the 3 piece design would work well carrying heavy revolvers owb? I would obviously choose the owb reinforced option and likely double stitch as well. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Got a Wilderness 5 stitch 1.5” a few weeks ago. It’s ok and inexpensive enough to give it a try. It’s decent enough though when I try to snug it up tight it’ll slip in the belt loops unless I hang onto it. It does a good job of supporting my BHP and a double mag pouch with zero worries about sweat damage when I’m out in the field.

I’ve been wearing and carrying with a Bullhide Belts leather belt for over six years now. I highly recommend them. 1/4” thick single cut bull hide. Looks good with slacks, jeans or shorts. Supports a handgun and spare magazine very well. I’ve lost 70 lbs since I originally bought it and instead of dropping money on a new belt I just trimmed the end and punched in new holes for the buckle. It’s money well spent.

Buy the Kore and done. In fact get several different colors, buckles. Their dress gun belts, look nice, fit perfectly, and hold up a full complement of duty gear in plain clothes. Wish I had learned about these years ago.

I like to use the cobra belts for concealed carry most of the time. They are very strong, and I've never had a problem getting the buckle through my belt loops. Sometimes I'll just use a normal leather belt when I'm carrying a smaller gun, but usually, my belt will sag a little under the weight.
