So Does A Gun Belt Really Help?

Ditto on the belt size and stiffness. I bought the 5.11 leather belt with a stiffener inside. Works great but the thing started delaminating after a few weeks and then the liner broke where I buckeled it usually. Avoid that one! But a stiff belt is a must if you don't want to extend your draw due to taking up slack first. Keping you holster tight againts your body not only works better it just looks like you know what you are doing. Sagging holster just says to me, " look at me! I got a gun! Herr herr herr!"

If there is a police/ fire uniform store near you check out their belts, I like to be able to try on a belt before buying.
