Bisley Joe Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 Anyone here use gunbelts with a curve to them? Regular or moneybelt? What I mean is: if you lay the belt flat on a table, does the leather look like part of a circle, or a straight line? If yes, does the curve make a difference in comfort and staying on? If no, do you have any issues with the belt being uncomfortable or wanting to work its way down/off?
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 I’ve used both curved and straight gun belts. If the curve is made right they are way more comfortably and secure than straight.
Warden Callaway Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 Curved belts are generally for women. Mary's belt took some time to get fitted to exactly where she planed to wear it.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 31, 2024 Posted January 31, 2024 I have had/used "Contour" cut or "Curved" gun belts for years and years. I find them to be much Much more comfortable for a long day or days of CAS than any straight belt. Generally for "women" be is only because the guys haven't tried a contour gun belt.

I would say a woman needs a curved belt if she wants to be comfortable for a day’s shooting. But men are not cylindrical through the hips either. Glutes, hip bones, and beer guts all ad to our “topography”. The good news is that most people don’t need a custom curve in their gun belt. Simply go to a vendor, try a few on, and buy which one feels best to you.
Texas Maverick Posted February 1, 2024 Posted February 1, 2024 I wore a straight belt for so many years it now has its own curve to it. It is comfortable so I would say the curve is better. TM
Bisley Joe Posted February 1, 2024 Author Posted February 1, 2024 Interesting. Thanks. I'm gonna have to try the curved belt.
