A regular dress belt is going to "feel heavy" because most of the force from the weight of the gun is concentrated in one area. As USA1 explained, the purpose of a stiff gun belt is to distribute the weight evenly around the waist so that no particular area will feel heavy.ed7232004 wrote:Right now I m using regular dress belt and it feels so heavy for me .may not be used to it yet or might be the belt I m using

Re: Belt problem.
Why do you think they work so much better than a regular belt?USA1 wrote:Has anyone else noticed that if you take off your pants with the gun belt still on them that the pants retain your shape as if you were still wearing them?
... or is it just me?

It helps to distribute the weight of the firearm so that your pants won't sag on one side.
While some can be expensive , you can shop online to find excellent deals.
Personally , I use a 5.11 Leather Gun Belt. They can be purchased for around $ 35
Excellent advice from USA1.
