I just wanted to give everyone a low cost option for buying an off duty or plainclothes gun belt.  If you are plainclothes and wear a suit, it is very difficult to find belts that are strong enough to support a gun and short enough to fit in conventional trouser belt loops.  I've found that I need a 1.25" belt to fit in my loops.  I searched high and low for a long time trying to find a quality dress belt that I could afford.  I recently bought 2 belts from Daltech Force and they are both great and I wanted to pass along the info.

www.daltechforce.com

I bought a SuperBio Indestructible belt.  This is a synthetic belt that doesn't stretch or sag.  I got this one in black and it looks a lot like leather.  It is waterproof, doesn't absorb chemicals, easy to clean, hard to scuff.  The reviews suggested the brown version didn't look as much like leather as the black.  Since I need a brown belt for some of my suits I bought a leather bullhide 1/4" thick belt and it is very rigid and comfortable.

Their prices are very reasonable, especially when you compare to other companies.  There are a lot of options, you can get most belts in 1.25" 1.5" and 1.75".  You can get brown or black, regular thickness or super thick.  You can get stitched, double stitched or unstitched.  You can get belt holes 1" or 3/4" apart.  They have multiple buckle options as well.  Lots of versatility and super competitive pricing.  Be advised that it takes about a week to 10 days to get the belt after ordering though.

The Beltman is another good source, and you can get more dressy stuff (and exotic materials as fancy as you can afford):

Bonus, it's a one-man operation and you can talk to the man himself. Oh, and it's real leather, not synthetic stuff.
