Tips When Choosing Custom Gun Belt Materials

By Barbara Graham


People use guns to protect their properties, loved ones and themselves against others that might inflict harm to them. Military and law enforcement personnel use them also for ensuring the security and safety of citizens in their jurisdiction. Others are using them as a hobby or for sports like target shooting and hunting game.

Carrying them around must be done safely because these things are dangerous and they may blow up accidentally and hit someone or even yourself. That is why it is important for you to get a custom gun belt which could support your holster and firearm. This is usually worn by law enforcers but some civilians who legally own firearms wear them as well.

When a belt of this kind is worn by police officers, they are not just using it for carrying their holster and the gun within. This includes ammunition, gloves, batteries, pencils, taser, radios, handcuff, flashlights, keys, pens, pepper spray and baton among other things. These items carried by them differs depending on the state, country or city being stationed in.

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 materials being used on them should be considered first in choosing one since this helps in determining its quality. Many people prefer those made from nylon though leather still remains the popular selection which can be longer lasting. Start by acquiring a leather with high grade and it is better even to have them in double layer, particular if full size handgun is carried.

Aside from the chosen material, the stitching holding them together is also important because it adds to its quality. Nylon thread is commonly used in regular belts though this is not a very durable and strong option as it might break under the stress in holstering and drawing the gun. Polyester thread which is military grade is preferred since it will not stretch and be affected by natural elements.

If you are finding companies that offer their services in creating custom belts, use the search engine on the internet. Remember to be specific on where you are located to have the results filtered and just show those operating near you. Doing this would exclude those located at other states, countries and cities.

You may also request from your friends, relatives and associates for recommendations, specially those who needed this before. Receiving recommendations from the people you trust will be an advantage as they would be telling you honestly their experience. Check some review sites as well to know the thoughts of other people regarding their service.

Inquire on the cost of their services which depends upon the materials chosen and if the layers are single or double. Ask them when will it be finished including if they would deliver it or should be picked up. Inquire if there are discounts for bulk purchases.
