Tips When Choosing Custom Gun Belt Materials

By Barbara Graham


Guns are used by people to protect themselves or their properties against others who might want to inflict harm on them. Law enforcement and military personnel also use them for ensuring the safety and security of citizens within their jurisdiction. Other individuals are using them for their hobby or sports like hunting and target shooting.

Carrying them around should be done safely as these are dangerous things and they might blow up accidentally then hit someone or yourself even. That is why getting custom gun belt is important which can support the weight of your firearm and holster. This is worn usually by law enforcers though some civilians who own firearms legally wears them too.

When police officers are wearing this kind of belt, they are not using it to only carry their guns within the holster but other equipment too. This includes radios, baton, handcuff, ammunition, taser, pepper spray, flashlights, gloves, pencils, pens, keys, and batteries among others. The things they carry varies depending on the country, city or state they are stationed.

This belt might look similar with any other belts but significant differences are there between them that should be known when choosing one. Though regular ones that are very expensive with better quality can be considered usable by some gun owners. But they will still sag or twist which may reveal your firearm making it not suitable for carrying it in concealment.

The material used on them is what you must first consider when choosing one as this helps determine their quality. Some people like those that are made from nylon but leather still remains a popular choice that can last a long time. Start by having a high grade one and those with double layer is even better specially when carrying a full size handgun.

Aside from the material you chose, the stitching which hols them together is important also as it contributes to its quality. Used commonly in regular belts is the nylon thread but this option is weak and not very durable because it may break with the stress of drawing and holstering gun. Military graded polyester thread is more preferred as it will not be affected by the natural elements and would not stretch.

If you are looking for some companies offering their services of making custom belts then use online search engines for this. Remember to specify where your location is because this filters the results to show only those operating nearby. Doing this excludes those that are located in other countries, cities and states.

You might also request from relatives, associates and friends for some recommendations, particularly those who previously needed this. Receiving recommendations from individuals you trust would be an advantage since they will be telling you their experience honestly. Check several review sites also to know the opinions of others about the service they offered.

Inquire on the price for their service which depends on the materials you chose and if single or double layered. Ask them when would it be finished and if they will deliver it or you have to pick it up. Inquire if discounts are given for multiple items request.
