There are dozens of guys out there making excellent gun belts, so its hard to go wrong with a purpose built belt. Tucker is local and a lot of guys swear by him, but he's backed up quite a while right now. I went with a smaller shop out of California (don't judge me, the kid's a Veteran and he's a one man shop) called Thompson Tactical. A little pricey but worth every dime.Car_RamRod wrote:Thanks everyone! That's all great advice. Right now I'm using a leather DeSantis IWB holster...and it has gotten better with time. So far a good holster. I guess it's taking its shape. Maybe just a little longer to finally sit right in. I do however need to invest in a good belt. Any suggestions?

Re: The Norm For New CHLers?
Completely and totally normal. Good gun belt, good holster and dressing around the gun are pretty much the only things needed. If you're wearing leather, it takes some time to break in, so once that happens it makes a world of difference.Car_RamRod wrote:So I've had my CHL for about 5 days. I can't help but always feel that I'm printing or that someone can see my weapon through my shirt. Is that normal for a noob like myself? Also, I'm still getting used to the feeling of the weapon with my IWB holster so I catch myself always adjusting myself for comfort. I always wonder if anyone noticed that as well. Kind of a constant feeling of paranoia! Lol...how long 'til it subsides?
Takes me a week or so every time I start wearing a new gun/holster/belt to get back to the happy place where I almost forgot its on.
