TrentonP Report post Posted August 11, 2017 I often make belts for individuals who either concealed or open carry firearms. Due to this they are looking for a sturdy belt to properly support the firearm as well as not stretch or breakdown. When looking online I have came across companies who put steel cores in their belts. I am curious about how they do this as well as where to get the cores. I have been unable to find any online. It seem this would make for a very sturdy and extremely durable belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLDNSLOW Report post Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) There have been several arguments er a discussions on this very subject, I have made them and not sure if the trend is slowing now. It seems that now that the election is over and the Dems lost the whole gun scene is slowing some now, but I digress, some people such as my self will get some heavy saddle skirting and then split it in half then place either Kydex or a strip of stainless in the center glue it in and then sew it all back together. There are a few companies that are now pushing (green) gun belts that are made out of Biothane products, not sure of the spelling. I should add that you can order belt straps from most vendors then do the same that I mentioned above Edited August 11, 2017 by OLDNSLOW added info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NVLeatherWorx Report post Posted August 11, 2017 As a personal carry individual myself I have never had any issues with a belt sagging or stretching and I make all of mine from 9/10 oz. veg-tan. If a person wishes to have an area reinforced for their holster then I offer to add an overlay in that area (which also has a decorative look to it). My experience with weapons is far more than the average concealed carry civilian so I know that it isn't the leather that is the issue (unless you use belly leather of course); it is in how it is worn; the same was true for us in the military.
