I have only recently been wearing a gun belt. Before that I carried other than by belt and was only familiar with fashion belts. I am interested only in concealed carry, not competition or duty.
I got one of those really heavy (16 oz) leather belts (Relentless). I find myself needing to cinch it uncomfortably tight to keep the gun from sagging. My guns range from 39 to 44 oz. Next I am trying a rigid-core belt (Kore). I think it has a kydex core.
I thought I'd ask what other people have found works well for heavier guns. Thick leather? Kydex? Steel core? Some of the steel core belts look like the steel band is fairly narrow, like Hanks. How much is enough?
