Just a side note - Comp-tac does not have a store front... you can't go to them they ship only or have a few places that carry their items - typically holster items. They are good to work with though, so I wouldn't have an issue at all doing business witht hem via mail and have.

I love the 5.11 leather belts and bought several when they were on sale.

No need to spend $50+ on a belt when these work so well.

:iagree: it was a tough decision on which scene i was going to take a screenshot of, it was either this one, or Jim on ice skates wearing that skin-tight body suit pointing a gun at Michael

Glad to see you got the holster made by SH. How you liking it?

The guys over on GlockTalk speak highly of the Cabela's branded belt (double duty belt). It was $30 and sold out, and now it looks like it's up to $40.

i'm loving the holster, and thanks again for posting it in that IWB holster thread or i would have dropped another $30+ on a nearly identical product elsewhere. a few adjustments to get the height and angle right, and some work with a blow dryer on the kydex to get the retention where i wanted it, and it's perfect.

That's a really nice-looking belt (I especially like the close holes, looks like 1/2") but that buckle is .. um.. not my favorite. IIs the buckle easy to swap or is it sewn in? Didn't see any photos of the buckle attach setup on the web site..

Thanks.

I know it's removable on the original Double Duty belt, and would assume the same for this one (Double Duty 2).

Dickies actually has a belt that works well for me. It was very stiff when I purchased it a year ago at Walmart for $8, and it remains very stiff to this day. It holds my crossbreed supertuck beautifully and doesn't sag much at all.

I purchased a new ranger style belt from Texas Leathercraft. They are in Porter and the turn around was 5 days. The belt is thick and very stiff, it supports my Glock 27 great and my Ruger P-90 good also. The belt is very well made. http://www.customgunbelts.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I just emailed them and asked if I could get one of their belts made by Traci.

My wife always says women provide better support than men, so a Traci belt should be the one to get. :cool:

Another nod to Beltman. Beltman makes a quality belt. I had a 5.11 and it seemed cheap to me. It was stiff alright. But not from quality leather. The leather is cheap looking. They sew metal or plastic inside it. Not my style but priced for economy minded folks.
