95% of the time I carry a GLOCK 19 IWB and use a Wilderness belt. The Wilderness is ugly, but with IWB, you can't see it anyway.
I just purchased a Kahr PM9 which I will carry as a back up gun and as a primary weapon for more formal occasions. I will be carrying the Kahr in a black leather belt slide when I dres up more and I want to get a gun belt that will look decent with a suit. Most of the dress gun belts I've seen look like gun belts. I want something sturdy enough to hold the gun and a spare mag, but I don't want it to look like a tool belt. Nothing like a rodeo belt to go with your Hugo Boss suit.  Black, 1 1/2" wide, with nickle or chrome hardware. Any suggestions? |

Those look like good belts but I don't think they would look quite right with a suit. |

Try Kramer yet? Or peruse American Handgunner for leather ads, hit their web sites?
Good luck! |

If you want the best belt available you have two choices, Lou Alessi or Josh Bulman. Both gentlemen make what are simply the finest belts available and both know what is needed to make a belt tough as nails and elegant enough to wear with a fine suit.

I would check the belt loop size of your suite before you got a belt unless you are going to buy the belt and then go into Mr Mac with the belt then get the suite. I wear a suite all the time and carry a Glock 19 in a Bianchie Profesional with the dreaded clip and it works good for me. I buy a new belt from the dept store about every 3months just like I did before I carried. Please post what you get because I am very interested as well.

The regular dress belt I wear now is a 1.5" Nautica so I know the size will work. |

I have looked at some dress gun belts the past couple days and didn'tlike any of them. They are too thick to look right with a suit and are extremely stiff. Is it necessary for the belt to be made of two thicknesses of 8oz leather to be sturdy enough to hold a pistol. My Wilderness belts are no where near as thick or stiff as the leather belts I've looked at and they work very well.
I seem to recall seeing a single thickness dress belt with a polymer insert so the belt was sturdy, yet still reasonably thin. Anyone have any info on such a belt? |

www.c-rusty.com/pages/other%20prod/Belts.html Horsehide or shark! Rusty makes the polymer insert you're thinking of, I think, both vendors will sell you a nickel or other silver-toned buckle (also my preference) and you can get shell cordovan from Kramer. www.kramerleather.com/productDetail.cfm?productID=63&categoryID=2 Top notch gear. |

Lou Alessi.
Everything else pales in comparison. In fact, I have another belt on order with him. You'll have to wait while he gets done with his military orders and it'll be a while, but it'll be worth it. |

Galco. They have a belt for every use and are made to support a weapon. I have 4 of them.

+1 on the Galco belts, they have a 1 1/4" dress belt with chrome or brass buckle that looks very professional with a suit.
