[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3111034, member: 10465"] For a heavier gun like an all-steel 1911, particularly if you are carrying OWB, I would definitely get a heavy-duty, sturdy belt. I don't know if it's a one-ply or a two-ply that's most important. I've owned/own several, including the rather sad and easily stretched and worn out Looper, which I have cast aside, but the best one I have is a Kramer Double-Thick Horsehide Belt. I think you could hang a circular saw on the thing and it still wouldn't sag. Another good one is The Beltman. Actually, just about any of the [U]top[/U] makers makes a good gun belt. Milt Sparks, TT Gunleather, even UBG...you pick. But if you want to be sure it doesn't droop or sag, and you want a leather belt, then I say with confidence that you can't go wrong with Kramer. Fugggetabout the Hanks Amish belt you see some guys rave about; it's just a flimsy Walmart job, re-branded in my opinion. In real gun belts, as in many things, you get what you pay for. Someone mentioned adjustability; for that, I recommend the Wilderness 5-Stitch. Sure, you can get cheaper belts of similar design, but a Wilderness is as heavy duty as a belt of this type can be. The metal buckle on the Heavy Duty model can also be used as a weapon if you run out of ammo in a big time gun fight or if you just want to wail the livin' crap out of some rival gang member and inadvertently left your 3-foot length of chain with the padlock on the end of it at home. I actually use this belt most of the time. I can cinch it up if going OWB with a heavier gun, or wear it a little looser so I get that fashionable sag in my baggy jeans and show everyone the seat in my boxers when carrying a little light weight pistola IWB like my G43. What would be good is to look under the Product Review Section, if we had one, and see what others have to say. P.S. (Post your poll, man). [/QUOTE]
