    Someone will be along soon with links to about half dozen existing threads already.
    My response to those and this thread is Galco. Yes they make belts.

    If you're willing to pay a little extra cash you can get Crossbreed to make you one of their instructor belts which are velcro-fastened and buckle-free. I'd have one myself if I didn't toddle around everywhere with my Volund.

    I was given a BladeTech for my birthday a couple of years ago.
    It's not what I was wanting but it's turned out to be my favorite belt ever.
    Still solid and holds my weapons tight against my side.
    I guess I'll have to recommend it.

    Bigfoot makes a nice steel core belt for around your price range, or DeSantis E25 is even cheaper. I had the DeSantis first for a few years, until I got the Bigfoot.

    Had a 511 casual leather belt and it was stiff as a barrel hoop. My trousers (yes I am weird I wear trousers) weigh 16 pounds fully loaded (gear not :poop:). The 511 carried everything weightlessly, but looked like :poop: after 2 weeks. After 2 years it finally broke.

    I got a Deltech Bio Belt for Christmas and I like it a lot. It is more supple and looks better, but t my first impression was that it was not as stiff as the 511 and doesn't have the same weightless feel. After four months there are some slight scratches from the metal clips of my IWB holster.

    All in all I would recommend it.

    I am not sure of the model but I have a 511 belt its two layers one side black the other side a tanish green color. Its the first one I have ever used I found it at a thrift store I don't think it was ever used. But I really like it I carry primarily two pistols either a 92g or a Cmd size 1911. To be honest I don't even feel the weight of the gun and I usually carry for 8 to 13 hours at a time.
