Re: Need some input on gun belts to wear with dress slacks

No problem, CopOnce. I figured that the tuck part was assumed since I was speaking about dress slacks, which I would wear with with a dress shirt! ;-)

Thanks for the tip on paddle holsters though, that may be something I can use on the weekends!

Do they make tuckable paddle holsters?
1.5 inch belts give significantly more support to the holster and gun than 1.25" ones do. I wouldn't recommend a 1.25" belt for the configuration you want to carry.
That's what I was afraid of.
You might want to take a look at the Liger Belt from Maxpedition. It looks dressy, is very supportive and comfortable, and is a pleasure to wear.
I appreciate the recommendation, and I've seen that belt before. The buckle on that belt doesn't appear to be "dressy" to me, but perhaps the photo is no good.

Does anyone here have issues with wearing 1.5" belts in dress slacks? I'd hate to have to buy new pants to fit a belt.

Need some input on gun belts to wear with dress slacks

I need a gun belt that can be worn with dress slacks. This means something nice looking, and that won't call attention to the fact that it's a "gun belt"!

In my research, I've found the Beltman and the Gunner's Alley to be the best options, but are there any I'm missing?

Also, is 1 1/4" going to be "enough" belt to hold up a 20oz firearm + 14rds of 9mm ammo? I'm figuring on IWB carry.
