That horse is worth flogging!74novaman wrote:To flog a dead horse: a good gunbelt is the BEST carry investment you can make. It will make carrying almost any gun you choose easier.
A good gunbelt can make a crappy holster comfortable, but a crappy gunbelt will make a great holster uncomfortable.
Make no mistake, a heavy work belt, or a Carhart belt, or a heavy western belt is not equal to a good gunbelt.
I've paid anywhere from $100+ for a top-of-the-line Beltman belt to $2.98 for clearance rack 5.11 gunbelts. If it is designed and sold as a gunbelt, it will be worth wearing.
BTW, my usual carry is a 42 oz (empty) full size 1911 with 2 spare magazines. I'll also carry sometimes a Para 14-45 with 2 spare mags. I think the 43 rounds of 230 gr .45 ACP plus the 3 magazines weigh as much as the gun (43 rounds of .45 ACP weighs about 30 oz.)!
