In case anyone else is in the market, this is the belt I ordered and I am very pleased. Just got it today and have only worn in once so I can't speak on long term durability but at first site it is a great, sturdy belt.

And to anyone wondering if it is actually worth spending the extra money on a gun belt vs. a regular dress belt, it is most definitely a good investment. I just got my CHL in today but I have been carrying around the house for a the past month with just my regular dockers dress belt and boy can I tell a difference. Not only does the gun belt keep the holster/gun from moving at all but it also makes concealing much easier because it keeps everything snug against my body much better.

I appreciate all the advice! I ordered a shepherd leather belt with my gift card. I got a black one from them and will still need a brown one so I will definitely use all the suggestions in the future. With a little luck I will need another belt soon if I can lose a couple pounds.

Has a kydex-like stiffener between the leather layers. Never sags from the weight of a full-size XD or a 1911. It also has a nifty handcuff key hide away, which I've never seen the need to use....

I'm caught between this one and the shepherd leather. But the 511 doesn't have sizes broke down by inches but small-xxxxlarge instead. I have no idea what size to order.

Guess I should have been more specific, I am leaning more towards a leather belt.

I will have a look though, thanks.

Ok I need some help from y'all.

Now that my CHL arrival is days away, I need to pick up a belt to carry IWB.

I was hoping to find a good one on amazon but I don't see anything that stands out. Now I would usually just buy direct but I have a $100 gift card on Amazon I want to use so I thought I would check if anyone knows of a good belt on Amazon.

Thanks for the help.
