Velcro Belts

I have been considering buying a belt from this company and am considering a velcro belt. I have never had good luck with belts as they either are to tight or not tight enough for my pants to stay up even without a gun.

Look well made. However, velcro is velcro and will fail if used enough. Just a thought. Not saying DON'T BUY, just buy knowing that they will not last as long as a belt with a buckle. For the price, it's worth a try.

My biggest worry is knowing the velcro is the weakest link and how it will react to the twisting put on by drawing a weapon. I think I will break down and try it I am tired of my dress belt keeping me from carrying.

Like 99% of people that shoot competitively (IDPA/USPSA/IPSC/etc) use velcro belts. Those belts see far more draws than any regular carry belt ever will. Food for thought.

If you want a recommendation on a good leather gun belt I'd recommend The Belt Man.

I like a good old buckle myself, if for no other reason than it can be used as a weapon if needed.

Well...if you're carrying a plastic gun why not go with the space technology belt?

I have to agree though that the Velcro will eventually become the weak link in the belt cinch. Even so...if well made may last for years. YMMV.

Thanks I'll look him up.

It's only a third plastic.

The Daltech Bio-Belt mentioned in the reviews above is made in Indiana and very good. It is the best belt I have ever owned. I use a velcro inner belt (Safariland) for the handgun matches because it enables me to string lots of magazines on the outer belt. For any other application, I like the Bio-Belt.

I can strongly recommend Bullbelt, for their materials and craftsmanship. Not familiar with the Velcro though. 4 years ago their plain belts were $40 at the gun show.
