I think TAM is using a body double for that picture.Take Down Sicko wrote:I've been wearing my Kore black belt for over a year and still looks great. Just days ago i got the brown belt just like the one TAM is wearing in the picture. It holds my S@W 686 4 inch without any problems and thats a pretty heavy gun. I wore it to the breakfast meet (KatyTX) couple of weeks ago.

Re: Thinner gun belt
I have had my eye on one of their elephant hide belts, but never bought one.Abraham wrote:WildBill,
All I know is my belt is a layer of elephant hide over bull hide, but in appearance it looks like all elephant hide.
The technical details of how it's put together (shrug of the shoulders) I don't know...
What I do know is it's thin, beautiful and holds my fully loaded Glock 19 with a fully loaded spare magazine belted on the opposite side of my holstered Glock19 and doesn't even begin to sag...
Of all the various gun belts I've owned over the years, this is THE one!
I have never had an issue with the thickness of my belts.
I did have to buy a narrower Beltman when I bought some slacks with smaller belt loops.
The thickness of the bullhide belts with stiffener is about 0.23".
My Kore Essentials gunbelt is about 0.18" thick.
I carry my Beretta PX-4 SC OWB in a Fobus holster. It works quite well.
I really like the ability to adjust the belt in 1/4" increments.

Re: Thinner gun belt
Does the belt have the stiffener between layers or is there just one layer of elephant hide?Abraham wrote:apvonkanel,
The last gun belt I had "The Beltman" make for me is the thinnest gun belt I've owned. Made of elephant and bullhide.
From their website: "During construction the elephant hide is laminated to a 9 oz. strap of bull hide with the internal stiffener included (no charge). The belt is then edged to our very high standards. The end result is a belt that looks great, is virtually abrasion-proof, and stiff enough to be a world class gunbelt. With the woven polyester stiffener already included, this may be the finest gun belt on the planet!"
I've had it for two years now and it still looks brand new.
It's a bit pricey, but you'll never wear out this belt and along with durability it's beautiful.
Visit their site and look them over. For reasons I can't explain, they don't look as thin in their photos, but they really are quite thin.
I have three bullhide belts from Beltman and like them very much.
They have two layers of leather with a stiffener in between. I believe it is Kydex.
I am sure if the OP sends an email they will be able to provide more information.
They have always been very helpful to me.
