So the trimmed end and not the tongue end? Above OP confirms it is the non-trim end that will no longer pass through the buckle not the trimmed end that will not stay clamped/engaged.


I was going to order a gun belt on Amazon but not seeing the gun belt for sale on Amazon. Am I doing it wrong?

I completely missed that in the OP.

I couldn't understand why he had problems threading the belt through the buckle.

The end of the belt that you trim is marked in inches to show you how much to trim off.

You DO NOT trim the tongue end.

I definitely trimmed the correct end. There is NO doubt about that.

Part of the strength of most gun belts is the stitching that runs along the exterior edges of the belt. By trimming off the tongue you'd lose this stitching on the end. I don't care how good the bonding is between the front and back pieces the fact that they started separating isn't surprising. Moreover I'd imagine you wouldn't get a very clean cut, or that it would look very unfinished vs. a properly edged belt. Just seems like a bad idea overall.

Not a jab at you OP, just an observation from someone that's had many good (and even more bad) gun belts over the years.
