Hello Matt,



Try The Wilderness @ http://store.thewilderness.com/product_info.php?cPath=43&products_id=2007.

The instructor belts are excellent. I would suggest the 5 stitch or the CMS under the belt stiffness pull down window. A belt that provides good vertical stiffness is one of the most important aspects of the belt/ holster platform for daily carry of a large framed firearm. You are starting in the right direction by purchasing a high quality belt.

Look on EBAY...

You can often find used Galcos, Bianchi's, and other brand-name belts there for reasonable prices...

Take a look at the Cabelas Double Duty

Real sturdy, double thick, offers great support, and is on sale for $29.99 right now.



I've had my present one for 3 years now and it's still going strong.
Thanks for the recommendation - that looks like a pretty nice belt, especially for the price. I was wondering if you would be able to tell us how wide that particular belt it is, since it doesn't specify on Cabela's site.
