I saw this post, and it reminded me that I am not really happy with either of the gun belts I have...( chime in for him too :) )

I did not want to step on his thread with this question, so I pose it here.
I have a 5.11 that I detest the buckle on, and another one in leather I picked up on a close-out for 5 bucks I like better, but just is not a good quality belt.
I really need to invest in a good one.

For IWB 24-36 0Z handguns (loaded weight) what would you buy ? I see horsehide , cowhide, nylon, etc, . Also width - is wider better? Bear in mind in work hours I am in Dockers or dress pants.

1.5 seems to fit most pants and is a good width for a gun belt. Bull hide is great, horse is a bit tougher but you have to weigh the cost differential. The beltman is a great way to go. He has many options and does outstanding work.
