I have been using AG Custom Gun Leather for belts and they are outstanding. http://agcustomgunleather.com/store/I would not scrimp on belts. They can make or break whether you carry comfortably or leave the gun at home

The so called " Instructor" belt has been by far the best for me... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/instructor%20belts_zpswmdcon0m.jpg) These ones are Blackhawk...about $40 Midway sells their version for about half that....

This is a local place East of Columbus. The quality is fantastic and the thickness is comparable to 'duty belts' for $30-$40. I can't imaging ever wearing one out. http://riverridgeleather.com/products.php?cat=1

Crossbreed sells belts now. Haven't seen them but I imagine they are of similar quality to the holsters.

I've never found a ranger type (non leather) belt, that when worn in pants belt loops, for daily concealed carry, to be as comfortable as a good leather belt.
"Amish Made Belts" make about two dozen versions, the "Bullhide" is just one, and they offer a number of options for each version. I normally run a plain smooth "Bullhide" for knocking around, with the optioned up fancier versions when dressing up. They are very comfortable belts that work well, unless you are running something that has trouble fitting the thick leather.

I just bought one of these http://www.zlogonje.com/belts.php about 2 weeks ago. (Saw it on the Ohioans For Concealed Carry website.) I got the 1.5" wide, unstitched, Biothane. Very comfortable and looks good to me. $32 to my door. I'd probably get stitched next time since it looks a little more fancy.

Gould & Goodrich makes a combination leather/synthetic belt that's damn good. The synthetic part is the same material that Safariland makes their duty gear from, so it's tough as nails. The outside layer is leather and it's very nice. The great thing is, the belt is very reasonably priced and mine has seen daily use for 3 years now (while wearing a LW Commander) and it looks like it has at least 2-3 more years life left in it, possibly more. http://shop.opticsplanet.com/gould-...4OxDq-FFoXa5pYmL_J6p3qdGzbc10aAr3X8P8HAQ

I guess I am the exception. I find as long as the holster is in the proper spot for your build and the belt is matched to the carry system just about anything will work. I know some people might flip but I wear mine on the thin BDU style belts and have never had the belt rub me raw, compromise my carry or been uncomfortable. Yesterday I was wearing a full size MP with 2 spare mags and never for a moment worried about my belt.

Another got for the Wilderness Tactical Instructor Belt. I order mine with with the easyfit and lengthwise stiffening stitch options as well. Damned good belts that bear a load well.

Hank's has a good selection of the Amish belts. I've had mine for several years, very durable. http://www.hanksclothing.com/amish_belts_ccw.html

Try the Beltman.com. Good stiff and well made belts with many options. I use one of his horsehide belts. Great stuff. I just received one of his 'quick ship' belts in bull hide and am liking it so far. I'm also planning to add one of the Wilderness Instructor belts...
