Gun Belt Makers.....horsehide Question

Recommended Posts

I know hard rolled is gonna make for a stiffer belt, but does soft rolled still make a good one?

I got some really nice strips in from Mavericks....cleanest and full of figuring I've ever received from a supplier....but it's soft rolled (my bad, It slipped by me in the ordering process)....

Some people expect a horsehide belt to stand up in a corner...these certainly will not be doing that, but do they still make good support, for carrying?

I would like to hear from those having experience using soft rolled for belts.

Thanks!!

I have used both. I prefer the hard rolled. That said, even though the soft rolled belts were not nearly as rigid, they do support the weight of the gun nicely.

I would try to double stitch a piece and see how much firmer it is..

Good idea...most of the belts I make are double stitched....I don't think soft rolled will be a deterrent, but I'll be sure to order hard rolled for now on
