Does that have the "stiffener" in it?

No, the stiffener is not necessary IMO.

If I'm carrying something light like an LCP/P3AT etc, I don't care about a stiffener.
When I carry to Church a Glock 19+Glock26+Taurus PT-92+Keltec PF9+Taurus PT709 all on the same belt, I prefer Comp-Tac's contoured kydex reinforced double layer with velcro sewn on belt, because the bench/wooden pew gets uncomfortable if things sag or slide around somewhere besides where I put them.
The vecro inside the belt and velcro clips help keep stuff from moving around and also are more concealed under the belt instead of over it. Yeah, it's twice the money of some others, but it's twice the belt too.

Yeah i did the Quick Order off the Beltman site...its just plain old black belt with chrome buckle...not options.Ships next day.

Beltman is a good belt.
I just like my Velcro "system" and stiffener ... I'm spoiled on Comp-Tac lol

I have to ask... is this at the same time too? (not sure there is enough room for that much on 1 belt)

Yes at the same time Glock 19 at 3:00 +Glock 26 Crossdraw +Keltec PF9 4:30 +Taurus PT709 SOB horizontal with grip sticking up about 6:30-7:00 IWB ... and the Taurus PT-92 (and extra mag) are in a Wilderness Safepacker OWB on the same belt because there isn't room for another IWB, and because the PT-92 is so big.. That way my pocket holstered guns are still accessible if needed. (AMT Backup, and two LW Seecamp .32s) I carry extras on Sundays for Deacons and their wives who are CHLs and a former LEO and his wife who are also CHLs, and our Pastor, who is a CHL.

Some day I need to weigh all that ... but a good belt is mandatory.
MY every day 2 or 3 pistols are roughly 7 pounds loaded.
Sundays, I'd need leather suspenders if I didn't have a good belt with all that weight.

Funny thing, even with all that the retired LEO, who is a CHL now always says he can't tell if I'm carrying or not .... and he looks. But after I showed him what a Wilderness Safepacker was at the range one day, he quit wondering why I carried TWO Bibles.
