matt6669 71 Posted April 22, 2010 Hey guys I'm looking for a good quality 1-3/4" belt preferably leather but I'm open to other options. My new holster holds up to 1-3/4 so I want to use the max for a nice snug fit from belt to holster. Whatcha got for me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

67gtonut 847 Posted April 22, 2010 I would stay with a quality 1 1/2" belt..... more common size for belt loops in pants.... You will have zero issues with 1 1/2" belt.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted April 22, 2010 Troy is correct - stick with 1.5" max. I have both 1.5" and 1.25" and both work well with a variety of holsters. I'd recommend The Beltman if you are looking for leather. As an inexpensive, but excellent alternative, look at Uncle Mikes wilderness style belt. Far less than other wilderness belts. Has a polymer stiffner and shows zero wear after several years. Great with jeans. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt6669 71 Posted April 22, 2010 i have a 1-1/2 and it just seems lose to me. Though it's just some crappy leather belt i got at express or some shiz some its not made for belt carry. I guess i will try a 1-1/2 something and go from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
67gtonut 847 Posted April 22, 2010 You cant compare just a leather belt to an actual Gun belt.... 2 totally different animals..... Get a quality 1 1/2" gun belt..... you wont regret it.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shane45 807 Posted April 23, 2010 I went with a 1 3/4 riggers belt specially reinforced for holsters. It is fantastic. It fits my jean belt loops exactly so its nice and snug. My Safariland is 1 3/4 so everything stays right where it should. If your interested I can give you the email addy of the guy who made it for me.

MedicYeti 96 Posted April 24, 2010 Check out a police/ems uniform shop. I have a 1 1/2 plain leather belt, double thickness that I have been using for shooting and general wear for 10 years. It holds up to everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
