I have plenty of leather belts, including ones I use to carry.
Bought my first dedicated gun belt last week. Big difference. (Courtesy of SFC Obvious) Should have done this years ago. Beltman. This one.  |

My EDW dress slacks belt is a garrison belt purchased at California Police Equipment.
It's pretty worn out and I need a new one. |

I am looking for recommendations. Have lots of leather belts, but they aren't built for the M&P plus a mag and light.
You have my interest PrimusPilum. |

What do you guys recommend for a gun belt that doesn't scream "gun belt!"?

Savoy double belt kicks some ass. Durable as hell and sturdy.

yeah, i used a normal belt for a number of years, until it finally broke.
bought a gun belt from hank's belts, and had the same reaction you did. |

Yep. Bought a Galco duty belt, it was damned expensive...but 15 years later, I'm still wearing it, and it looks like the thing will out last me. |

I have leather gun belts, including a double thick horsehide from Kramer. Pretty obsolete compared to my Ares Aegis.

Yes. Two Alien Gear gun belts and one Crossbreed gun belt. I should not have waited so long to take the plunge, leaps and bounds better than a regular belt.

Black leather 5.11 that I bought about 6 years ago. Still holding up perfectly. It was my first dedicated gun belt and a real eye opener

Of course. There is no going back after having a a good gun belt. Holds the pistol where it is supposed to be for consistent draws and re-holstering. Prevents the gun from moving around and is all around more comfortable.
Welcome to the happy few who invest in a good belt. |

I had a gun belt. It was the stereotypically recommended gunbelt (which is like 6 feet long and thick enough to be used as a tow strap.)
I left it at Macy's or somewhere similar... and I don't miss that SOB one bit. Carry AIWB and you don't need a belt... in fact, it's better without the damn belt. ETA: My comments will inevitably invoke butthurt. Just try it. Lose the POS belt and try AIWB for a week. It's better, I promise. |

Nope. Been using an Ares Ranger since 2012. It seems fickle, but a lot of the buckles I see on leather gun belts just look generic and not very stylish.

Yes Bianchi fancy stitched B9.
I have another don't remember the name but it's not stitched and it shows after a few uses. From now on I am getting stitched belts. |

(eta, which is now the "in" thing. again. and it will be out in a year, for some other "in" thing. Until it comes around as the in thing. again) Also, if my pants have belt loops, I wear a belt. Also, if I'm wearing anything (non "tactical") other than jeans, I'm wearing a blazer or sports coat. Your input might work for a 20 something, but if you dress like a grown up, I don't think it's good advice. |

When I stepped out of Corporate America and into Business for myself, I switched to Dickies 874 work pants. My big belts fit with room to spare. Back in the "dress up" days, I just had my pants altered when I had the suit tailored. |
