Belt Me
« on: June 12, 2012, 01:30:12 AM »
OK.  Who is selling a good sturdy belt for those a little wide in girth?  A coworker suggested HD.com but nothing quite long enough (need 54").  I got a couple belts from casual male but they are bonded, not stitched or single layer and they began to seperate within 10 days of initially wearing them.  I plan on spending over $50 for a belt that will stand up.  Any suggestions?  I'm just not satisfied with anything I have found yet.

Try the leather store at the farmers market in New Castle.  A couple of us on here have them and they are quite nice and easy priced, $39.  They are very sturdy and custom fit.  I'm going to buy another one in brown soon.

I went here: http://www.hanksclothing.com/belts.html.
At the time they did not have the CCW belt, I went with the Amish one.
Love it.  It carries a 1911 loaded with 15 rds of .45 all day long (OWB).

Do you carry a 1911 with 15 rounds magazine? Why not carry with 8 and perhaps have the 15 rounds as a backup mag?

I cant imagine having the 15 rounds magazine sticking out of a 1911 carrying concealed.

Gitting back to belts. Try my guys at www.theholsterstore.com
I have dealt with them and can say they give you quality, good price and fast service.
I bought my Pro-Carry Deep Comfort IWB holster there, received in in 4 days from Florida. All American made.

Interesting, besides the reviews on budsgunshop I couldn't find anything on this gun. I would like to see how they managed to fit 14+1 rounds on a 1911 frame, I woudn't trust much though. I will stay with the original- single stack, single action.

I was in Tractor Supply near Dover the other day. They had some great looking wide , heavy duty belts in there, and in some pretty long sixes for you "huskie" guys. I'm sure all Tractor Supply stores carry them and they are available on-line on their site.
