Every responsible gun owner knows how important finding the right holster for your firearm is. A good holster for your gun allows you to confidently carry your weapon with a sense of safety and security. However, if you want to maximize the functionality of your firearm holster, you’ll need a good gun belt to ensure you’re getting the most out of your carry experience.
In this blog, I’ll explain what a gun belt is, why it’s useful to people who carry a weapon with them every day, describe the different types of gun belts and I’ll list some of the best gun belts available.
What is a Gun Belt?
If you’ve come to this blog, then you might already know what a gun belt is, but you may be wondering why it’s necessary when a regular belt seems just as good. However, there are many differences between a good gun belt and a regular everyday fashion belt. A normal leather belt from your local department store is not going to hold up if you’re using it for everyday carry of a firearm. It isn’t made for that purpose and using it to support a gun and a holster will wear it out very quickly. A gun belt, however, Is made to support your firearm and a high-quality nylon or leather gun belt setup can do its job for much longer than an ordinary belt would. Not only this but because a gun belt is designed to support a weapon, it will prevent your pants from sagging because of the extra weight much better than a normal belt. That is why it’s so important to make sure you’re picking the right gun belt for you.
Different Types of Gun Belts
The two most popular materials that gun belts are made out of are leather and nylon. Leather gun belts are by far the oldest and have been in use for centuries. However, despite there being newer options, a leather gun belt is still a popular choice for gun owners. Their comfortability combined with their classic and fashionable look that can be paired with normal clothes makes them a very popular choice to this day.
Gun belts made from nylon are a much more recent invention than those made of leather. Nylon gun belts are much lighter than leather belts, and although they don’t look as classy as their leather counterparts, they’re a great option if functionality is your main concern.
