![]() Wright Leather Works Old World Gun Belt, $75 The Wright Leather Works Old World belt is nicely turned out and proved comfortable in our testing. This is a credible choice, and, frankly, unless you are a connoisseur of pasting and waxing, this belt is the better buy. All that is said concerning the Old World Belt is true of the Bullhide Belt. The primary difference is the dark finish. This is a slightly different 0.25-inch-thick belt. It helps carry a heavy load comfortably, we found. Wright Leather Works Bullhide Belt, $52 The Wright Leather Works Bullhide Belt is specially treated for long wear and is plenty thick to spread the gun’s weight out on the belt. We did not discount this extra work, but neither did we rate the belt down on this factor. We should mention that all of the web-type holsters demanded the male component of the Cobra buckle be removed to thread the holster onto the belt, unless you were using a clip-on type inside-the-waistband holster. We added a Galco Phoenix and Smith & Wesson Combat Magnum later in the test to be certain crossdraw worked well. We also tested the belts with a Galco Stow-N-Go holster and a Glock 43 9mm for those belts designed for lightweight casual carry, with a weight of more than 30 ounces for the loaded handgun and holster. This is a hefty weight and a good test of the belt’s performance. Because the Defender holster also holds a spare magazine, the weight of the holster, gun, and magazine was more than 50 ounces. The gun used was a Government Model 1911 45 ACP. This holster uses three belt loops to attach to the belt. During the testing, we used several guns and holsters, but the one we used most was the Bullard Leather Defender. ![]() We ordered the gun belts in 1.5-inch width. Poor stitching is a sign of a cheaply-made belt. Be certain the holster is tightly fitted to the belt. The belt must mate firmly to the holster. It is a nuisance to keep adjusting the belt and attempting to cinch the belt tighter, which really just makes you uncomfortable, and the holster still drags. ![]() A rigid gun belt is wide enough to keep the holstered handgun from sagging. The stronger the belt, the more comfortable it is. While fit and finish are important, the performance of the belt is more important. A loose-fitting belt won’t cinch up tightly and will bunch up the trousers. A proper gun belt is a solid piece of leather and is properly glued or stitched together. Chain-store belts are not gun belts, but then they are not designed to be. Buckles may be stitched, screwed on, clamped, pressed, or anchored. The size of the frame that holds the prong affects function as well, and some modern belts use latches instead of a prong and notch. Classic leather is still good, but the modern types are well designed and workmanlike and may even fit modern fashion better.Ī belt is made of the strap, buckle, loop, and a prong that fits notches in the belt. We tested a box full of belts and came away with a good understanding of what makes a good gun belt. We needed a selection process and test procedure, particularly with the new breed of nylon types. Choosing the proper belt isn’t that difficult, but even raters who have used good gear for many years had pause when attempting to explain what makes a good gun belt. A poor belt is a huge problem for concealed-carry permit holders. A standard dress belt will allow the holstered handgun to sag on the trousers. The company suggests this holster is best worn at the four or five o'clock position, and after experimenting a bit, I ended up carrying at four o'clock.When you make the decision to carry a holstered handgun in the field or in concealed carry, you need a proper gun belt. I've been wearing it for a few weeks and found it be a really comfortable holster that holds the gun tight to the body. The Predator Pancake is the company's most popular model. Today those efforts have culminated in a line that includes nine styles encompassing inside-the-waistband, outside-the-waistband, shoulder and pocket holsters - plus belts, magazine pouches and more.Īll are made at Wright's Fremont, Ohio, facility, and the company carries its "made in America" ethos to include its raw materials: All Wright holsters are constructed from 100- percent domestic steer hide that's tanned here in the U.S. Wright is a five-year-old company, started, as Brandon Wright told me, because the founders had a "do-it- yourself" mentality and wanted to make what they thought was a good holster. The Predator Pancake that Wright Leatherworks sent me for review isn't fancy, either, but man is it one good-looking rig. Like most of you, I've got my fair share of holsters.
