OK, I am in the process of losing a lot of weight. I am currently down 35-40 pounds so my clothes don't fit. However, I have another 70 or so to go, so that is a lot of clothing purchases, and I need to minimize costs until I'm at my final size.

I know what gun belt brands I usually like, but they are mostly in the $80-100 range, and for a temporary belt, I need to be well under that (I'd like to be well under $50 if I can).

Now, another option, no gun belt. I live in MD, don't have one of the few jobs that allow a MD CCW permit, so I can only carry when in a state that allows me to carry on my UT non-resident permit. I'm usually in WV, VA or DE a couple days a month, and out of state for a trip a few times a year, so I do only carry part time. Maybe if I stick with my smaller and lighter guns (say 20oz or less) for now, I could make do with the $20-30 department store belts I currently have as a stop gap until I'm at a more permanent size and buy better belts again.
