What are you guys using for gun belts?

[Lexthedestroyer]

As the title says, curious as to what you guys are using as a gun belt? I've been tossing around the idea of doing a bit of IDPA in the near future, and my stiffest, heaviest leather belt isn't quite cutting the metaphorical mustard. Any success stories out there, or "avoid this like the plague" stories?

I'm using a DAA Premium competition belt for IPSC. Pretty stiff belt that doesn't sag under the full weight of my gear. Can't go wrong with CR Speed or Ghost either. There's also Bladetech and DoubleTapSports.

Uncle Mike's. Cheap but effective.

5.11 Tactical Series 1.75", honestly probably half the belts at Chilliwack IDPA are this belt, works fantastic!

CR Speed for IPSC. Just a basic 'street' leather belt for IDPA. I didn't feel it held me back at all.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas, there are way too many options out there... looking more for a belt that I can thread through a pair of jeans as well. I have a Bianchi buckled utility belt, and it's a little bulky for my purposes.

Are these the "cheapie" 5.11 TDU belt, like $40? I was taking a long hard look at those, but wasn't sure if it'd be rigid enough...

No, not the bendy cheap ones. The Instructor belt looks like a casual belt. They’re about $90, IIRC. I think you saw mine in 1.5”. I like the 1.5 vs. the 1.75” width as mine doubles as a casual wear belt with jeans. The 1.75” one is a bit too wide for some belt loops. I’ve worn my daily and for range and IDPA use for 3 years now. It looks a bit worn but still works perfectly well. It’s stiff where the gun and mag carrier sits.
