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.
Do you want to tell us where the discount belt site is?

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.

LOL, I just bought my first gun belt from GT Distributors in Austin and I mentioned this to the friend I was staying with "rlol"

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

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

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

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

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?

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! :oops: :shock:
