Gun Belt

[jedi]

About 7 years ago someone on INGO recommended a gun belt to me. It was a much better quality than then leather one I had from cabelas, which was good, but this newer one was better.

Sadly its seen better days and looking at it I cannot find a brand on it or any other markings apart from the number 44 (waist size). Its 100% black leather and has some type of metal inside the belt because the last 2 holes of the belt as of late I can not use since that metal part has moved and is blocking those 2 holes.

Any ideas?

A LOT of people seem to be rocking the biobelts these days, myself I like my Nexbelt ratcheting belt. no need for a metal stiffener in this one.

Sounds like maybe Daltech?

Black Steel Core Bullhide Gun Belt

Purpose & Build Forget Kydex internal stiffeners if you need to carry heavy guns and accessories. This is NOT Kydex or plastic that will break. Strong steel core will outlast other stiffeners. Unbreakable but bendable and very wearable. Bend it around you and feel the security. Created in 2009...

Quite a few INGOers recommended the Daltech Super Biobelt to me. It's very nice, would recommend.

I've been wearing the Daltech bull belt for 3-4 years now. No stiffener in mine though. It still looks great, but it is starting to loosen up just a little.

I also have one of the bio belts. Stiffness is excellent after about 3 years.. The belt looks pretty much brand new.

Thank you all.
It looks like I may have the bullbelt but from I see online the INSIDE of that belt has the company logo/"bullbelt" name and mine does not. However from everything else I see online of picture of it and YouTube videos that does look like it.

Mine is at least 6 years old as I recall getting it right when I moved as a gift to me for moving. So maybe 6 years ago they were not putting the logos or it were off since then.

Mine while old still works but I've lost several inches in the waist and now this belt is a too big.

If only there was a device that would allow you to drill through metal.

have u met jedi?

Sure jedi could DRILL thru the belt but what fun is that when he did manage to lose the weight. The reward is a nice brand new belt off course.

Giving up the pop, candy, bread was hard enough. Drinking water, eating veggies and white fish or chicken has sucked but the weight loss and feeling better was been a plus.

While you are at it, buy one in every color available so you can coordinate with every outfit.

Congrats on the weight loss!! Personally I am a big fan of Beltman Belts

I have the Brown Daltech Steel Core Bullbelt and have worn it pretty much every day for just short of five years. I carry a G17 OWB. The belt still looks great - a few scuffs but overall looks good. No sag at all yet.

A belt made of quality leather doesn't need all the marketing gimmicks of steel, nylon, cardboard etc added. A belt will never be an I beam. I have had a belt for years that is still doing its job. It is two layers of leather, probably 6oz and 8oz, glued and sewn together for a 14oz total. Like plywood is made thin layers glued together to make a stronger whole.

It's been a long time since I bought one, but the one I had was ok. I've "undergrown" it so no longer use it, but the internal stiffener was probably synthetic when I bought mine. It definitely broke in a few places. The leather held up fine and the hardware was nice.

The best belt I've used, and continue to use, are "sidewinder" or "triple curve" (sold under different names at different times) from Red Nichols. I still wear them daily, they hold up great, the shape makes them work so well it's crazy all belts aren't shaped like this...but he's retired and you can't get them any longer.

 

[COOPADUP]

I'm shocked Daltech isn't a site supporter. I wear a Biobelt every day and for the last 4 years. No signs of breaking down other than the coating on the buckle. I bought a 2nd one that is waiting in the wings when this ever fails. You could wear this in the rain and it will not absorb moisture. Really a huge fan of this product.

Dont u mean buy sidearms with various handles/colors so they make jedis outfit.

jedi cant confirm or deny this has been done.

Thanks but still unsure.
My first gun belt was based off that wst review and I went with the cables belt. It served me well for many years.

The 2nd belt is not in that first post of comparisons nor is it in the other 2 post.

It might be a bullbelt but unsure as there is no markings for that brand. Nor can I find any cc charge from that company.

But it does look like it.
