Belts?

[bcox]

I have been wondering what kind of belts do you guys carry with?

I have heard about the wilderness belts, but where do you buy one, I have heard some are make cheap and to stay away from them.

Oh and pictures would be great.

EDITED:
Where in Tulsa can you buy a wilderness belt? and how do the 5.11 belts compare to the wilderness belts?

The Wilderness "Original Instructor" with the C.S.M. (Combat Shooter's Model) insert/stiffiner in 1.75" width is the belt I wear each and every day on duty. I've worn the same belt day in/day out for the last 2-3 years and it's still as good as it was the very first day I put it on. I ordered mine direct from the manufacturer at www.thewilderness.com

My off duty belt is a Looper kydex reinforced belt. For the money, you can't go wrong.

I've been wearing a 5.11 stitched leather belt...really nice, you can get them at Spec Ops in here in OKC.

OK,i'm a self-proclaimed tight wad who,on occasion,dumpster dives for stuff to trade.Now that you know where i'm coming from,I can't see paying 50-125 bucks for a belt. Some of the Dickies work line of belts are double stitched with a leather insert and are very rigid and hold a holster well.They will hold your ccw even while sitting down in the mens room without flopping over and dumping your "piece" on the floor.

I think i may have to pick one of these up as well. i have also been looking at blackhawk and 5.11, too many choices

Thank you very much for this... I am dying over here, trying to convince my wife that after spending $400 on a weapon, several hundred on ammo to practice with and supplies to clean with, I need to now spend ~$100 on a holster (that may or may not work well for me) and another ~$150-200 on a couple of belts as well.

This 'hobby' is killing me here.... <sigh>

For what it is worth, a good sturdy belt is more important than a high dollar holster.

It's kinda like building an awesome house on a cheap foundation.

Just my opinion.

Looper belts are like $35 or something. They are absolutely perfect for concealed carry use. They are very stiff.

I agree w/ GED about the belt...you can have your weapon riding in a VM2 but if it's flopping around when you walk and slowing your draw, all that fancy leather isn't doing much for you.

+1 on Looper Leather gun belts. I wear mine daily. It works great and the price is right.
