(I must respectfully disagree with the recommendation of leather above though) They build those for looking like Joaquin Jackson, not for utility and hard use. Yes, they look cool but I'd stick to nylon/synthetic if this is for what I think its for.

I took that post as a joke. Perhaps they were serious though

Not the best picture, but I have an HSGI (High Speed Gear) battle belt. Safariland holster for the 19x, Esstac mag pouches (2 pistol, 1 rifle), and a cheap dump pouch. Need to get an IFAK.

Oh you can legit get a custom gun belt made from the prison system. Its a bit of a pain if you don't work there or have a law enf contact though. A lot of guys I know did have belts/chaps etc etc made. The unit craft shops on several prisons have leather work craftsmen etc etc. and "blank" guns (that stay under lock and key/its the frame only) to use to mold the leather to whatever gun you carry.

Odds are if you see a Texas Ranger or a Sheriff with an ornate leather belt etc, it probably came from TDCJ. I'm not saying I wouldn't own one, they are cool looking, but for what I think OP is asking about, he needs to go nylon.

I had spurs and a belt made by prison craftsmen, didn't get a gun belt though.

Steel core click belt. Is the easiest to live with of everything I've tried

tactical belts are designed to carry a ton of crap so they use the inner/outer combo, which is the best way to go for quick on/off for a lot of gear.
Pretty much exactly what I intended to us it for.

If you're building a "world is crazy" belt though, consider also having an ifak on it, IMO.
Again, that was in my plan.

My reluctance to use the term "Tactical" comes from the fact that I am 64, out of shape and fat. Putting tactical gear on me would be like putting lipstick on a pig.

I don't want to be "That Guy" at the range.

Being fat is going to kill your before a rogue assassin.
