I carry so much stuff on my belt already (gun, key clip, mag pouch, cellphone pouch, portable ham radio, flashlight) I just gave up and put everything on a Uncle Mikes pistol belt. Makes it so easy to put on and take off at the beginning and end of the day. It stays by my bed when I'm sleeping and I something happens, (loud noise, unexpected knock at the side door) I just get up and grab the belt and have it on me in seconds with everything I need. Reminds me of my LBE (load bearing equipt) that I had in the Army. Since I'm not trying to conceal I don't care if it looks like a batman/cop belt. It does what I need and that is to keep my stuff easily at hand.
