I two own Wilderness Tactical belts and like them. They are very stiff and good for a full size handgun.

I brand that also like is the Uncle Mike belt. I don't care for most of their products, but I do like the Reinforced Instructor belt.

First of all they are cheaper than the Wildness Tactical and have a two day delivery time. About $33 on Amazon Prime with free shipping.

Second you can buy them in small, medium, large and ex-large so you get more adjustment room than the Wilderness Tactical.

I recently bought the Uncle Mike and really like it. They are not as well built or as stiff as the Wilderness belts, but do a decent job.

The only disadvantage is that they only come in black. :tiphat:
I bought the uncle mikes last night $26 and change and free next day delivery with prime.
Sadly disappointed in this belt, it wasn't big enough for my waist must be something wrong with belt.

Really is a nice belt will be ordering a larger one soon.
I am sorry you had that problem. I should have mentioned that I had the same issue.
I followed the advice of some of the Amazon reviewers, rather than Uncle Mike's guidelines, and had to return my belt for the larger size.
Fortunately the replacement only cost $4.50 for shipping the old belt back.
I had my replacement in three days.

I found a Wilderness 5-stitch Instructor belt on clearance at Midway and ordered one Monday. $36 delivered, including an $0.86 round up for NRA. ;-) Seemed like a great price for a belt that lots of folks rave about. Looking forward to trying it.

I'd love to find a nice leather belt... something borderline "dressy" that I could wear with slacks but doesn't look out of place with nice bluejeans (my usual work attire). Once I settle on a good OWB carry holster (with retention), I'll be looking to invest in a good leather belt. I've carried concealed AIWB for so long nobody has seen my belt in quite some time, so, nylon has been an easy choice. Looking forward to trying concealed OWB and dressing up a bit. :mrgreen:
ROYGBIV -
I have found that a cordovan leather belt, rather than black, seems less formal, and goes well with jeans and other slacks.
In addition to my two black bullhide belts, I bought one of them from the Beltman.

I should have them in about a month or so.

I placed the order with Jim, the owner of "Beltman" and enjoyed a great conversation with him. I really like the guy.
He is a great guy. I have three of his belts. None of them are Elephant hide. :totap:
