Back in February, I complained that I could not find a belt I liked in the local stores. You readers made some recommendations, and I took them to heart. I particularly liked the belts advertised on AmishMadeBelts.com. So, I ordered one. When it came in, I was impressed. The belt mic'd a sold 1.5 inches and was made from good saddle leather. The only drawback was that it was too wide to fit the holster I use for my SW Shield. The blet was simply a tiny bit too big to go through the loops on that leather holster.
However, it fit nicely on the Simply Rugged holster I use for the SW Model 60. I'm basically a revolver guy and didn't see the little revolver as a handicap. However, a man might live with one woman, but one EDC simply isn't enough. I needed a skinnier belt to carry that SW Shield.
So, I went bac to the Amish website and learned that a customer can sort by width and thickness. I found a belt that was thick leather and yet measured in at 1.25 inches. UPs dripped it off yesterday. I put it on this morning and think that this may be the bees knees for carrying the Shield. The holster fits the belt nicely and holds the gun close and tight.
Y'all have a great 4th.
