Re: stiff belts
For stiff gun belts I use either the Ares Gear Aegis Belt (http://www.aresgear.com/index.php?main_ ... 98e8af2729) or the RDR Buckle-less Belt (https://www.rdrholsters.com/store/custo ... -less-belt). Both belts provide infinite adjustment so there is no awkward sizing with being either too loose or too tight.

Is this a bad time to recommend simple diet ?
Your belt is fixed then, along with your health.
I got to be bit fat few years ago. Had similar situation and I just chiseled another notch into my belt, after that I decided to just diet. Got tired of being pudgy.

I have gone from the 1st notch on my Beltman to the 5th. Thanks to the Keto diet. One notch left.parabelum wrote:Is this a bad time to recommend simple diet ?

Re: stiff belts
The Wilderness Tactical type belts will not be as stiff as your Comptac, but they are plenty stiff when you wear them.
The MidwayUSA Instructor Belt is as good as the Wilderness or 5.11 belts for a lot less money.

You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black.The MidwayUSA Instructor's Belt is made with durable polyester webbing and reinforced with a 1mm thick polymer sheet. This combination ensures that the holster is rigid enough not to roll over or sag with even the heaviest holster and gun. The MidwayUSA Instructor's Belt works equally well with inside the waistband or belt holsters. It is rigid enough to support other accessories you carry on your belt, such as magazine carries or cell phone pouches. Also, this belt works well for security work where duty holsters and numerous other items may be attached to the belt. The V-Ring buckle is made of A6 steel and finished in a durable black electrophoresis coating to provide years of service while still looking good. The polyester webbing is smoother than traditional nylon so the belt will slide in and out of your belt loops with ease. A hook-&-Loop system keeps the tail of the belt close to the body to reduce snagging and eliminate any chance of the belt working itself loose. Standard pant belt loops allow the extra material to be run back under, after belt closure, and avoids covering exposed belt loops.

Re: stiff belts
I like a stiff belt myself once in a while. I'm partial to single malt scotch.

Re: stiff belts
I bought my belt at Wal-Mart a few years ago - combination Cordura (I think) and leather. I believe the inner core is a stiff leather wrapped in Cordura with a leather band visible on the outside. Not sure of the brand, but it was less than $20. It's been a great belt; stiff enough to hold my pistol and mag carrier without sagging, but still comfortable. It even came in a great collection of colors, as long as you wanted either black or brown.

Re: stiff belts
You can get the wilderness Tactical belt with an insert as well. Personally, I've found the 5 stitch to be sufficient, even when carrying a steel frame 1911 and 2 spare mags.
Re: stiff belts
I have a gun belt from Tucker and Bird. They are in Porter but I saw them at a gun show. It's thick leather and pretty stiff.

Yes. The belt I posted above is one.glock27 wrote:is there just such a belt out there that is reinforced with the infinite adjustment factor?
