I own two of Hank's Belts. I also own about ten other more or less serious gun belts.

Hanks's is not the absolute best, but likely their "Xtreme Belts" are the best belt/buck I have found.

I have two of these, one 1.5" wide, another 1.75" wide.

I considered a steel core belt from Hank's but decided that I would prefer a horse leather double-thick belt from another maker to get something that rigid:

Order from thebeltman online and pick the features you want, as calling him and talking with him might cause you to not want to deal with him. That would be a shame, as he makes a good belt.
