I got my concealed handgun permit about the same time I became a security guard.
The first company I worked for issued me a Law Pro brand uniform belt. It was crap. I wasn't carrying a gun at work at that point but with the the radio and the OC spray and the flashlight the belt literally split on me at work one day.
I called my wife at home and I had her run down to a local gun store and get me a black Tony Llama belt. I figured if the gun store sold it it would be okay.
Tony Lama makes good boots and belts but the belt I bought was not designed to be a concealed carry belt and it didn't last.
So I got on THR and I asked them. At the time I think really the only available option was Wilderness tactical and maybe Hank's belts.
I got the Wilderness Tactical because I didn't trust leather belts and because Wilderness tactical was an acceptable substitute for the HSS issue uniform belt.
The one that I bought was 1 3/4 inch. Because the duty belt HSS issued was that size.
I still have that belt it still looks pretty close to brand new. I almost never use it anymore because I it's actually too big for me now.
I ended up buying three more on eBay because my weight and my waist size fluctuated. You can usually find a pretty good deal on almost brand new belts because people do not pay attention to the sizing instructions that Wilderness tactical uses
I've never had one fail on me. The way I dress nobody can see my belt anyway so nobody's ever commented on it.
And I don't see any reason to spend money on a different brand when what I have works
