Absolutely!
Without the support of the belt your holster can flip upside down and dump all your goodies on the nice clean floor!
Then everyone stands there with
looking at the man with the gun!
Com-Tac makes a gun belt that is $75. It is custom made to your spec even down to the width and taper of the belt. If you are wearing the velcro (I do also) then the belt will come with a 1 inch strip of velcro sewn and glued onto the inside of the belt. It is the length of the entire wearing area of the belt so that you can wear your holster in any position. Well worth the money. It also has Kytec sewn into the belt for support. Stiff as a board when you get it and you will think it was a BIG mistake!
Just keep wearing it and the velcro and the leather will relax and will fit like a glove.
Belt support is important(I carry an all steel 1911)....don't leave home without it. Once you get used to it, it will be like putting on any other clothing. I never wore belts and hated it at first. No problems now!!
