With my other thread asking about CC carry 9mm's other than the S&W Shield Plus going relatively well, with mostly useful information, I thought I'd ask another question. I carry with just my normal dress-clothes type of belt, but I'm wondering it anyone has a good recommendations for something a little more sturdy, possibly a little more stiff and adjustable? I don't want something that looks all tactical-paramilitary. I'm not into the whole tactical look and have to wear relatively nice dress clothes to work so those military belts won't fly as we do have a dress code. I prefer everything I do in regards to CC to be as low key and unnoticeable as possible.
Is it Friday yet?

There's a lot of places to obtain what you're looking for.. Just do a search for 'gun belts' and tons of 'em should show up.. Places like Mitch Rosen, El Paso Saddlery, Sparks, etc... Early this year I had a custom western dress belt made for CCW and it's excellent.. I just wish I could remember where the hell I got it from..  Mean Jean Leathers makes 'em for Kimbers - I just got one from there on sale..

My leather gun belts are from Black Hills Leather out of Laredo Texas.

I've got ones from Milt Sparks, Wilderness belts, the Beltman, Crossbreed and even a double thick Filson belt. They all work well. Some have the options to add a stiffening piece of material between the two pieces of leather. I really like the Crossbreed belt that I have and it doesn't look like a gun belt. Look on their crossbreed seconds website, you can find a good deal on a great belt there. https://www.crossbreed-seconds.com/

I just purchased 2 Concealed carry belts from KORE Essentials. They are leather or nylon with hard plastic sewn inside. They ratchet up in small increments for a perfect fit. Amazing how much difference a rigid carry belt makes. Especially with a heavier gun.

By all means get a good belt and holster for your CCW. It is night and day between what you are using and a good belt designed to carry a gun. Sparks, Rosen, the beltman, are excellent.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

For something a bit different and works well. Ladder34.com repurposed fire hose belts. Extremely sturdy, well made, and inexpensive

Plus 2 on the Galco belt.
I bought a leather punch and added holes between the factory holes, for a more precise fit.
Been wearing it every day for about 20 years. Best belt I've ever had!

I have a DeSantis belt I bought, it's comfortable and sturdy, but damn it shouts "GUN BELT" at the top of it's lungs. It's like taking out a billboard on the local Interstate highway.
That's okay, I don't GAS about that. Only gun guys would notice that, anyway, and a gun guy is someone I'm not worried about. We'd likely be jabbering about our choices in sidearms, anyway.

These are very good belts. Large selection, too. https://www.bullhidebelts.com/pages/shop-beltsL.W.

I have 2 AG Gunleather belts that are excellent and a very thick bull hide belt whose maker I don’t remember. It’s a bit stiff but also very good. No sag with any of them.
