The recent thread on range belts was great. On to carry belts.
My issue was that I've lost weight and gone down two inches in pants size. So: all my IWB pants are going to Goodwill, all my regular/OWB pants are now IWB pants, and I'm building up an inventory of regular/OWB carry pants.
My IWB belts (Magpul Tejas) still work, but for OWB carry I needed a new one. (I have a tactical belt that fits, but wanted something that didn't scream "He's got a gun!")
So I got this: Midway Concealed Carry Leather Belt.
Very nice belt--seems to be well made, nicely finished, two layers of leather for stiffness. Nice edge finish.
I'm now 32" pants size, but 34" is as small as they go. The 34" turns out to be just right (use the middle hole) for me, so I assume they run small. I'd add 2" generally and 2" more for IWB.
These are not always in stock--mine happened to be, and on sale to boot. You may have to do the "notify me" thing. The regular price is $50, which I think is a good price; on sale they're a steal.
What do youse guys like? I've had good luck with the Magpul belts, but they're insanely stiff and cost $90. I also like the Hank's belts I've worn.
