The Beltman... Great belts for the money. A couple members recommend to me. I have two now.

I've had mine for a few years now and it still wears just fine.

I met the son I guess (maybe early 30's guy) at PNC on Hurstbourne once and he was driving a Prius with an Obama'12 sticker. It just gave me a bad opinion and never tried them. He saw the NRA decal on my car and started talking to me and gave me a card.

I steer clear of anyone who makes those stupid crossbreed style holsters

Never tried their holsters, just the one belt. Bought it at 111, so never had any direct dealings with them. Odd that anyone involved with the industry would vote for Obama, but that does give me pause on ever getting another.

I loved my crossbreed holster. Wore it for years. Never cared for alien gear, just didn't feel right. Got away from hybrids altogether after that and went strait kydex

Mine are either kydex or leather, not a mix. I like both at various times.

Another vote for The Belt Man, mine are almost 5 years old and still look and work great, even after having been cut down after I lost a bunch of wieght.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Or you could look at it this way.

That's some deep greyman undercover, blending in with the masses

Maybe. ;-). Nobody ever suspects the manbun with the burkinstock sandals to be carrying.

Ya know I don't have a manbun.

They fit, feel, and wear great. He does an outstanding job of finishing and his stitching is beautiful, always straight. Best money I ever spent on belts (I have 2, 1 black, 1 brown).

They are both lined inside in loop velcro, and have a rigid plastic insert between the layers. Set up like that, even my heaviest pistols won't make it deform or sag.

I wear a Beltman belt every day. It's good stuff. Everyone else has said what needs to be said about them. I did lose some non-essential hardware, you may want to loctite it.

Other good options are the Magpul belts (good value) and Mean Gene Leather belts (using Aegis buckles).
