    Just curious what you guys would recommend for a decent belt, I've heard some people use "rigger" belts.
    But thought I would see what you thought

    I recommend the Wilderness Instructor belt or the Elite Survival Systems cobra buckle belt. The thing to watch is make sure you don't get it too large, because the tag end can get in way of holster mounting.

    Wilderness with CSM liner. great adjustability and holds heavy pistols very well. Great for daily use without looking like a tactical nerd.

    If you're on a budget, and they still have them, WalMart had a Wrangler "WORK" belt that was super stiff for only $15. I used one for over a year for EDC and IDPA matches. Never had a problem with it. I bounce from a 5.11 belt, wilderness tactical belt and a ESS cobra belt as TennJeep pointed out. Now my USPSA belt is a different story.....lol

    I have a few belts, Levi's black leather, works fine. Standard issue ( Army Navy store ) Rigger belt. Works fine. Finally, an HSG heavy rigger belt 1.75 inch. Have not used it yet though.

    What Chris said! I bought mine when I started shooting idpa and it has never disappointed. I'm pretty sure Chris has earned at least one master class designation on the belt he referenced above!

    Its a great belt especially for carrying full size 1911. Sometimes my leather belt is either loose or tight. Adjustment is limited with belt holes. You can make the Wilderness just right

    I agree with ChrisC as the adjustability of the wilderness leads to it getting used much more often than my milt sparks belt.
