Just an FYI for those of you that carry. I have been carrying for awhile and I just had a normal leather belt. It had been on my list to get a good belt for awhile but you know how things get pushed off. Well I was on vacation and saw a leather shop so I figured I would go in and look around to see what they had. I asked the lady where their really thick belts were and she showed me. I found an Amish made belt made from a single piece of saddle leather and its a good 1/4" thick. What a difference between the two belts. My gun feels a pound lighter and I'm not constantly hitching up my pants. I highly recommend a good belt if you carry, especially IWB.
