    Belts and holsters

    Ok, the topic of belt and holster has recently come up for me and I need some help. First, I am not an “operator”. I don’t dress like I am ex military nor do I have a beard trying to portray myself as something I am not.

    I’m a regular guy... I wear jeans and t-shirts with cross trainers almost everyday. I also wear a casual style belt.

    The holster I use regularly is a stealthgear iwb ventcore. Seems to work fine for me!

    I am looking for some direction on belts and possibly a new holster. Anyone have recommendations or thoughts on this based on my dress attire?

    Thx

    If you're happy with your holster stick with it. I have so many holsters I don't use it makes me sick.

    For a casual belt I like the 5.11 leather belt, it looks right with jeans and is stiff enough for any holster.

    Another option is the ratchet style belts which are awesome for when you carry or not. What I like about them is you can dial in exactly the right fit with and without the gun. It sucks when you're between belt holes and you are either too tight or too loose.

    I have the Kore and Next belts, I think the Kore is a little higher quality.

    I have that 5.11 belt too and it is a good belt at a fairly cheap price.

    I have two Kore belts, a Liger belt (not sure if still made), a Magpul Tejas, and a V Development MenlnfaoaigrsoW$%^% (may have misspelled that) belt.

    If my belt will be showing I run the Kore. If not I run the V Dev Group. I don't use the Tejas as much as it is too thick to be comfortable and the Liger is great when I'm a weight that fits it...

    Check out "Ares Gear". Their least expensive belt, "Aegis", runs about $95.00. You can do a search for reviews, they're pretty much 5 star ratings. I like how the buckle/belt is easily adjustable for any shrink and swell in one's waistline. It seems I'm always in between belt holes. Top quality gear.

    I have the Blue Alpha Gear low profile belt. It is quality and a really good value. Aaron Cowan (Sage Dynamics) has a review up on youtube if you want to check it out

    Just did a follow up on my thread of the Alonso Defense Emissary belt. If all you wear are just basic belts then this is a great alternative. No tactical buckle or velcro. It is made of rigid 1.5" black scuba webbing. Not sure if you would prefer leather or are fine with nylon or the scuba webbing.

    I have 2 of The Blue alpha gear LOW pro. They are just OK in My opinion : The Belts that were really nice were from Boxer Tactical. Unfortunately Amazon at the time banned him posting his Belts and he never recovered financially from that : Please understand the BAG belts are made the same. My Boxer Tactical belts are just way superior for adjustment and comfort : The guy just got screwed over in a Market where who you know or who you are .Influence whether you get a fair and honest shake breaking into the Gun and Gin Gear Market :

    For web style belts check out Bison Designs. Made in the United States and very durable. If you sign up for their emails you will get a 20% off coupon. I have owned a couple of different models for a long time and I just recently bought this one:
