The two defining characteristics of a gunbelt are:
- It's a lot stiffer than a regular belt, and
- It has finer adjustment options than a regular belt.
Many gunbelts, whether leather or nylon, achieve the required stiffness by being built around a stiff layer of polymer. A stiff belt will hold the gun closer to the body, thus allowing for better concealment and less fatigue.
Fine adjustments (eg, closer holes in a leather belt) are needed to keep the belt tightly cinched. A belt holding up a loaded firearm in addition to your pants is working harder, and a close, yet comfy, fit is required.
