They have limited colors and sizes, but you get a large one and butcher it down to fit. I am really pleased with what I got and it makes a big difference in carry comfort. I think that what I bought were at http://www.graveyardmall.com/110belttanxxl.html. Even if it does not work out for you, there is not much risk in the purchase with the $2.99 price. I do not recall, but I think shipping came to about $10 for six belts.
I think I just missed this item when I tried a few days ago. I clicked 'Add to Cart' but it gave some kind of error. I checked again today and the item available anymore. I should have tried when you first posted the link. :grumble

So I just finally looked at a 'gun belt' at Collectors and now it all makes since. Thicker means THICKER. That thing is seriously thick - not just wider. Its like a steel band! Now I get it ...

But those suckers were $100+ each. I'm sure there are some not quite so pricey. Does any one know if there are any reversible (brown/black) gun belts out there?
Because of the qualities of leather, I'm not sure it's possible to make it reversible and still have the stiffness and support of a good gun belt.
Probably so. I was also thinking that making the buckle reversible could weaken the overall design.
