Thoughts on a good carry belt

I'm currently looking for a good belt to carry my pistol with. I have ruined several different leather belts over the past two years I have carried concealed. I need something that won't break down on me and something that dosent cost much more than 80.00 bucks or so. I have heard some good things about Ligers carry belt, any thoughts?

Wilderness Tactical Products makes a great belt if a dress belt is not
required.

Find a local police/paramedic uniform store. They sell nice thick belts in the 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 widths. I got my last one for 20 dollars and its as good as any gun belt from a high priced leather dealer...Shoe repair shop sometimes sell good cheaper belts also.

Try Rafter S Gunleather: http://www.raftersgunleather.com/Belts.htm. Good, solid belts for less than $50. Kinda hard to argue with that.

+1 on RafterS

You won't be wearing it out in 2 years.

I've been using a Dillon Precision belt the last 3 years. They run about $50 and last.

Beltman - there are a few others

Beltman - there are a few others - Gunner's Alley suggests Hume when price sets a hard limit.

I agree. They are very comfortable and infinitely adjustable throughout their size range. Its never to tight or to loose. If your work takes you up high, you can also tie in if need be.

RafterS Gunleather if you want leather.
Wilderness Exp. if you want nylon.
Both are great. I have both.

I second DonR101395's recommendation. One tough belt. Five years now and no sagging, very little set at the buckle.

I'd look at the Tucker Gunleather bullhide belts if I were you.
They go from $60 to $80, depending on width.
I've been wearing one for over a year and it shows no
signs whatsoever of breaking down or sagging.
