Do you want to tell us where the discount belt site is?TheBrit wrote:Over on another gun forum someone posted a link to a site selling 5.11 Tactical gun belts for $3 each!!! (They are normally $35 or more). They only had 2XL and bigger sizes (but I have a leather punch so can make adjust to any size). The site specializes in selling end of line products for pennies on the dollar.

Re: Belt problem.
Its not a discount belt site, more a discount anything site. The discount site sold out of those belts in a couple of days. Had I known just how good the belts were I would have bought more than 3. They took a while to get here, but were worth the wait.Oldgringo wrote:Do you want to tell us where the discount belt site is?

Re: Belt problem.
LOL, I just bought my first gun belt from GT Distributors in Austin and I mentioned this to the friend I was staying withUSA1 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 ?

What a difference a true gun belt makes though. I was expecting it and I was still shocked.

Re: Belt problem.
My belt problem is that I need too much belt. A few inches less would be good.

I haven't seen anything like this at Cabela's. They've got belts, but not like this.

Re: Belt problem.
Granted one needs a good gunbelt, but what are the most widely accepted and preferable widths among wearer and holster makers?

Re: Belt problem.
Inch and half fills up the belt loops on jeans pretty well. And still sturdy. I think that is the most common width. Anybody else?casingpoint wrote:Granted one needs a good gunbelt, but what are the most widely accepted and preferable widths among wearer and holster makers?
My belt from Com-tac is 1 1/2 inches wide and the taper is 1 1/4 inches. I would order the same if I needed another just longer!
