Trying to find a decent looking gun belt, either black/dark brown. Who sells a good gun belt, 34", black or brown that is actually a good looking belt to wear? I have a Kimber CDP Ultra II, so it isn't too heavy of a gun, but I am 6'1 155 lbs so it will need support. Thanks guys!

I ordered mine from Crossbreed Holsters ( http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/GunBe ... roductName" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

CompTac also does them, and others as well. ( http://www.comp-tac.com/product_info.php?products_id=43" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; )

The crossbreed belts seem pretty good.

google: Galco SB-3
Available in Blk or Brown. Looks more like a dress belt than typical gun belt.
Works good. Opticsplanet usually has them in stock and ships for free.

Wow they have a lot to choose from. Is there much of a difference between bullhide and horse hide and cow hide?

I'll have to let someone else chime in on this one. I only have their Bullhide ones.

I have been going through the same thing, trying to find a good belt I thinkt his is where I am about to order from

I can't recommend them enough. I love mine.

I see bullhide
horse hide
shark
elephant
and cow hide


What's the difference between all these? So much to choose from! Although, I can't imagine buying a belt made out of elephant or shark but would lik to know the difference.

I got one from Looper Law last year. It's nice, sturdy, and very affordable. http://www.looperlawenforcement.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Check out the Wilderness belts. I have three two Frequent Fliers and one Instructor. I use the Frequent Flier for everything except dress.

Crossbreed belts are great and hold up well to every day use.

Fist also makes a good belt that tapers down to single layer leather at the buckle on both ends. http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/Default.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Both companies make good holsters and good belts.

Take a look at these 5.11 tactical belts on closeout at the following link:

A 5.11 belt is part of my wife's IDPA rig and she swears by it!

I'm no expert, but do own a bullhide beltman belt in brown and HIGHLY recommend it. This belt is my "need to look presentable" belt when I carry with my shirt tucked in (using a Crossbreed Supertuck holster, or just pocket carrying). If not tucking in your shirt, doesn't matter what the belt looks like because no one should see it anyway (should be concealed by your cover garment).

As to the differences in hides, I chose bullhide because it's supposed to be a bit stiffer and more rugged than cowhide or horsehide. And it certainly better than my cowhide 5.11 Tactical belts, which wear very quickly (but I use them covered, so don't really care). My bullhide beltman has the velcro on inside, but no kydex insert and is plenty stiff for most guns. My 5.11 leather belts DO have a kydex insert and are stiffer overall. Also the 1.75-inch width 5.11 Tactical web belt has a kydex insert and is very stiff - also since it's not leather, I can wear it when I know I'll be outside sweating a lot and/or on water (boating, fishing etc) or at an amusement park or "splash" park with my kids where there is a good chance I could get wet.
