Searching for a Gun Belt

[Relatively Ninja]

Does anybody know where to find a decent gun belt for cheap?

I'm looking for a gun belt to support the weight of my SA XD-9 Subcompact. I've done some browsing online, but I can only seem to find expensive ($60+) belts from small leather-working shops. I understand you often get what you pay for, but I'm also working on a college student's budget. I also like to wear belt buckles but none of the belts I've seen are capable of being worn with interchangeable buckles.

Any help finding a cheap, double-thick gun belt that will let me change out the buckle?

Thanks!

Go to the next 1500, look for the sign that says "Bull-Hide Belts". 1/4" thick single piece leather belts, Chicago screws to swap buckles, $40 or $45 depending on the length.

I can't seem to find one of his cards for the website, but they're cheaper at the 1500 that buying them from him online.

Cabela's makes a gun belt called the DOUBLE DUTY it sells for about $39 normally and sometimes goes on sale for as low as $20.

Bull Belts, like he said, except they're 35 dollars, or were at last 1500. Wearing one right now, money in the bank.

Buckle changes out with just undoing 2 chicago screws.

Tractor Supply

Belive it or not you can find A nice heavy duty leather belt a Tractor Supply. I had been looking for a good belt myself to support my 1911. Was in TSC looking for work boots, and they had a rack of belts that were nice and thick and heavy duty at very reasonable price. I bought two one was a plane jane, the other had some nice tooling on it. Both suppot my carry guns well, but I need a better holster for for my 1911, it still flops around to much in that cheap nylon holster I bought. OK for walking around at Friday Night Steel, but sucks to carry for protection!

you can also try the liberty bell flea market (next to POP GUNS), its a little trashy now but there is a leather guy in there and he sells leather at a reasonable price.

I have used many economical belts but they never lasted long and did not give very good support.

After much hemming and hawing, I broke down and spent beyond the budget and bought a ranger belt by ares gear. It's made of scuba webbing and I can't imagine needing to replace it. It took a long time to receive it, but it was worth it

I'm actually using a belt that I picked up at Goodwill right now, and I have no complaints. I forget what brand it was, although I feel like it was one of those "skater" brands, like DC or something. Regardless, its just a dark brown leather belt with a basket-weave pattern on it. About inch and a half across, decently thick, and really rigid. I wear it to work sometimes too, in the office, and it doesn't really stick out. If you're looking for budget belts, go to Walmart and just pick through what they have; generally, the wider and more rigid the better.

Army Navy store at 21st and Arlington. I got a web belt there with a squeeze snap closure for about $25/
They also carry a lot of other accessories you can pay a lot more for at the gun store.
