I have one of these, https://agcustomgunleather.com/ in Bull Hide. It fully supports my 2.4 LB Sig 228 for all day comfort. It rides in a GB gun leather OWB custom holster. https://gbleatherco.com

Over the years, I've used a Beltman, an Aker B21, a DeSantis Econobelt and a Wilderness Tactical Frequent Flyer.

Wilderness Tactical 5-stitch or Blue Alpha Gear - Low Profile EDC Belt.
We are blessed with a number of folk who make a good gun belt.
Hanks is the best bang/buck for leather.
5.11 best bang/buck for synthetic reinforced nylon webbing.
Other fine belts can be had from El Paso Saddlery, Hakan, The Belt Man.
I own belts from all of the above. There are others,.

I would argue that there are several other companies providing a better bang for the buck in this category than 5.11. YMMV.

I got the Kore X5 rated at 8lbs & it's absolutely the best gun belt I've ever had & it's not going to go limp over time like a hide belt ultimately will.
For $60 you cant go wrong.

I am not wedded to 5.11, but their reinforced nylon belts are darned cheap, work, and are long-lasting.
The 5.11 Tactical Trainer (1.5" wide) and Operator (1.75" wide) were $30-$35 when I bought them a few years back.
$45 delivered now on Amazon. Gotta love inflation.

I have three and have used them for years. They show no wear I can see.
If you know where I can do better, don't be shy. I like to have options.

Fair enough. I'd also recommend checking out the Blue Alpha Gear Low Profile EDC Belt ($40), as well as several of the offering from The Wilderness Tactical. LA Police Gear also has a Wilderness Instructor knockoff for about $26, it's not quite as stiff as The Wilderness, but not bad for the price. Lots of options.

I just got my Midway CCW belt, and it seems very well made, very sturdy. Of course, they discontinued it right after, so I ordered on of their newer EDC belts. MUCH thinner, flimsy, could have bought a better belt at Walmart. Lesson learned.
