I have several of these. They range from $50 - $100. Currently, Valentines day sale %40 off. They have many sales:

Only thing I like about the Kore is the buckle. I carry an OWB holster with an H&K P30SK and it has dents in the belt where the holster sits. Kore did send me another belt, but it dented in the same place. It does not affect the looks since the holster hides it, but except for the advantage of the slide buckle it is not worth the price. But I have carried well over 40 years with a standard Levi leather belt (or similar) with no problems and they have lasted as long as any of these expensive gun belts. And when I worked I carried full size guns.
And at times, I also carried with a slim style dress belt with no problems. And pulling my weapon at times, which I did when under threat, was not a problem.

I bought a leather gun belt on amazon from Relentless Tactical. It was around $50 and has held up great for two years.

I also have a belt from “The Beltman” - awesome belt.

My nylon belt is a 5.11 rigger style I got for a gift. Very sturdy and has been good.

I paid $34 dollars for the Relentless Tactical belt. I couldn't go wrong at that price so I will give it a try. If it fails I will go with another brand mentioned in the comments.

I got one from Hanks off Amazon ~a year ago. Its still kicking and still quite solid.

The 14oz steel core Bigfoot belt checks all the boxes for me. Won’t break the bank either.

Spendier than some of the other suggestions, but mine has lasted for years of frequent wear - Filson Double Bridle Leather

I'm going to try one of these "Ranger Belts" from Duluth Trading.

I used two belts from Crossbreed for years (still do when I wear leather), but I've found them nylon/kydex instructor style belts (mines from RDR) work better. Easier to find the perfect tightness when you change holster/gun/lose weight/etc.

I like my Korea Essentials belt. It supports a m&p 9c, two mags, all the regular stuff (phone, wallet, keys), knife, flashlight and a Ruger LCP with and extra mag for it

I ordered a beltman horsehide, double stitched with stiffener last night. 115 dollars shipped. I have a crossbreed and a couple other hook and loop leather belts I currently use. All work well for iwb. As does a braided leather belt, but they dont last. Some of my gun belts do twist slightly with my redhawk or x-frames but not terrible. The least stiff gun belt I own is a safariland with a stiffener. Perhaps is fake leather. Like holster selection, I think body type plays a huge role in how well a belt performs. Us "Johnny bravo body types" with no hips or butt or abdominal fat to kind of "grab the waistline" of the pants have to keep a belt tighter than some, so they sag less anyway.

I have 2 Beltman belts. One is from 2009 and is getting a little long in the tooth but I literately wore it every single day for 7 years. The other is my formal dress belt and still running strong. Great belts and worth the investment.
