...but I bought a Kore belt "temporarily" and it's still going after five years.

What you need is stiff, relatively thin leather of appropriate width. I would look at Challenger Horsewear Men's Western Rodeo Fashion Tooled Floral w/ Basket Weave leather belt from Walmart. The cost is $30. Ask specifically about this offering perhaps someone has experience using one.

I have been using the A Better Belt USA Ultimate Rlephant Gunbrlt everyday for the past 3 years and it still looks brand new. It has carried everything from a full size 1911, .480 Ruger Super Blackhawk to my current Wilson EDC X9 without sagging or developing a curve. It has been perfect and still looks beautiful and pisses off liberals when I tell them what it is made of. Before that I wore A&G Custom Gun Leather, Beltman and Ross Leather Works

What size belt do you wear? I have a Big Foot gun belt with the steel core liner and it is their thick model. I have never worn it since it is so thick and I prefer my Elephant hide belt. It is around 42” I have no need and if it would fit you you can have it. I will check on the exact size

I have 3 belts from CrossBreed Holsters: A "Classic Gunbelt", an "Executive Gunbelt", and one of their nylon belts. I have been using them for several years now, and have been pleased with them.

Check out these belts. I use this one.

I’ll put my thick Amish made belt up against any of those pretty boy belts any day.

Don't be in such a hurry to be wrong.

To each they’re own. And you shouldn’t be in such a hurry to throw your money away when there’s no need to.
I’m not going to get into a pissing match with you over who’s belt is better. You like yours and I like mine.

I ordered a leather kore brand gun belt today. They have a lot of good reviews. I'll get it early next week, & I'll report back as to the quality.

I got the Kore brand belt I ordered. It's not real thick, but very rigid. Wore it all day with a full size pistol in a leather holster & it seems good. I'll use it when it cools down & I can hip carry under a jacket.

I bought a Kore Webb belt earlier this week and only worn it a couple of times, but so far I like it

You neither live in America, nor have a Walmart within 1,000 miles of you, but feel compelled to give advice about a product that you have never actually used.

As an aside, a Chinese built Walmart "Fashion" belt is about the last thing a person should be considering when trying to find a high quality belt that is specifically designed with concealed carry of a handgun in mind.

This pic with Clint Smith is from 2019 . The belt I am wearing is one that was built for me in 1999 by the Milt Sparks crew for my wedding. 20+ years of use and it is still perfectly serviceable.




Sometimes a little wait, and paying a little more are worth it to get something that will last substantially longer than the Harbor Freight/Chinese versions.

In non leather, the Wilderness belts have proven to be quite good. I especially like the Frequent Flyer version. Lightweight and easy to adjust to just the right size. I have used them for years, they provide a good value. They are also worth paying a bit more over the knock off versions.

I was going to suggest this......,



but most Americans carry big high capacity guns which require stiff belt of appropriate width. The one I use is very nice and inexpensive, but not rigid enough to support heavy gun rig.
