You know, 45calibre just touched on what is perhaps THE most important thing when deciding to carry a gun on your hip. The belt is one of the least discussed and most often overlooked component. You can buy the fanciest IWB holster out there (and wait the 6 months to get it) and it is next to junk if you hang it on a crappy, limp belt. Spend the money on a good belt before you really do anything else.
Well what are some good belts out there for everyday where. I have some quality belts that I believe would be sufficent.
Gun Belts by The Belt Man
The nice thing about these is that they aren't tactical ballistic nylon, don't have giant gold belt buckles, and aren't hand-tooled to match your boots and spurs*. In other words, you can wear them with a suit to the office.
*ok, SOME of them are...
I don't know how I can justify spending 80 dollars for a belt, but I'm not denying the fact that a good belt makes the holster even better. There has to be a more affordable option.

I am not posting to bash you, but wanted to point out the other side of the fence on this issue to you. Ever use laser sights? Like Crimson's with them on a rail or in the grip? What about a more affordable option, the one that screws to the trigger guard and uses a watch battery that when you lay it down it knocks it off target, or it wears out quick (from first hand experience). See, one option, the option others are pointing out about a belt, will help you save your life. Saving 50 bucks on a belt, well that will only help the bad guy cause when you need your gun, it'll hang up or be at home cause you got tired of it digging into you. It's kind of like buying a new car and putting used tires on it to save money. That is like wiping before you poop, just don't make sense!!
Now me, I am the tooled belt guy with matching boots, spurs do come off when off of my horses. So it is a non issue with me, but have seen some of those dress belts others have to wear to work, it will be money well spent.
I never took it as a bash. I take everyones advice positive. I understand a good belt will make all the difference I'm just saying 80 dollars for a good belt as opposed to 40 for same quality belt that would provide the same support. If it comes down to it and I have to spend 80 on a belt then I will cause my life is worth every penny. I'm just asking for more affordable options.
