Carry Belts...I'm doing it wrong.

Not with my buckle, as it has no holes.

Mine don't have holes either. Kore gives you one of these thingies.

This is the wear and tear my belt buckles get:

"What? Oh, hi boss! Yes, yes I am taking pictures of my crotch to post online again...but it's break time...I'm not on the clock this time."

That's some serious WWII/Korea swag buckle right there. lol

Dang, now I have to go and buy a Kore belt.

They sell the hanger thingy by itself I think.

I found this upscale model which will hold my standard belts as well.

What's a WOB holster?

Wide open bottle. It's like wide open throttle, but for us drunks.

You write "plethora" in one post, and now "thingy" in another?

Henceforth on MDS you will also be known as Charly Gordon

I’ve been carrying a P365 IWB (at about 4:00) for just about as long as that pistol has been available. Nothing fancy on the kydex holster, and it’s been the same one Nexbelt that whole time. Just got a new one this week, as the original developed a tear right near the ratchet stitching.

Along with the new (more casual looking) Nexbelt, I ordered a replacement strap for the slightly dressier wounded one. The casual one seems right at home with cargo shorts or jeans. I’ve got more tacticool things for other circumstances but almost never bother. Matches have their own rigs.

All that said, I agree, Art. As long as the clip can get over your belt and grab hold, it’s going to work unless it’s just a piece of nonsense.

The other day shooting at the UL, I pulled the carry piece out for a little pre-lunch Fauxzambique drill on a B27 a few yards off, and low and behold, the holster came with it. I have to admit I was pleased at the instantaneous awareness of that and the speed with which I could sweep the holster off and shoot the drill. But it was a reminder to actually set that up deliberately once in a while, even dry firing. Great holsters and belts are still variables.

Oh: my newer Nexbelt is JUST enough wider that I need to change out the clip on my holster so it’ll positively grab. Just a small variation was all it took the usual rig to not fit right. It’s always something.

Trying out a couple of IWB holsters I have, I can successfully draw just fine from sweatpants and lounge pants so long as they have a drawstring and I tie is reasonably tight (nothing really uncomfortable, but I obviously can't just leave the pants loose, they'd drop to the floor if nothing else!)

Shorts and jeans with any old belt I happen to have seems to work fine too.

For IWB.

Way Out Back, it’s the preferred holster for Worth A Shot employees

I like how Kore gives you one of those hanger thingies. I need another one tho. My collection is growing.

I’ve got an extra one you can have, just let me know.

I get it and all, but don't carry like that.

Oh heck no. I was just curious so I’ve tried it out (with an unloaded gun in case it turned in to saggy drawers hitting the ground).

I’m using a rotation of a Nexbelt and a Kore Essentials belt. So far they work very well and I like that I can loosen it up when I sit in the car. I just ordered a Tenicor Zero belt and am looking forward to see how it works out.

Good recommendations for belts. I've been carrying in dc for 3.5 yrs now IWB with a compact glock. It took me ruining a dress belt to finally buy a CCW one.

IWB will ruin a belt idc what anyone says. A weak belt i noticed will contort in the area the clip was (mine was a single metal clip..vedder light tuck) due to the weight, pressure, sitting, bending down because i carry appendix. Also the holes started to enlarge overtime.

I had enough and went into 5.11 and purchased a brown and black leather one for $50-60ea. Definitely a game changer.

If I am wearing shorts or pants without belt loops I use a Grip6 belt and oversized t-shirt. Better than the tourniquet level tight of a draw string.

Men,

If you have a belly,

Please wear pants/belt OVER your belly.

Do not wear your belly over your belt/pants!!

I've always been a crossbreed belt fan, but might need to check out all these others.
