Needing a gun belt depends on the size of the gun and where you carry. I have an old Dickies leather belt I used for years that did the job. Then I tried Hank's belt. It certainly works better for carrying a heavier gun at the 4:00 position. But I didn't care for the super thick leather, I find it uncomfortable, not to mention the sweat leather collects in the summer when I'm outside. It's well built, but not for me. So I next tried a 2-ply webbing belt. It's much more comfortable, but even it feels too stiff and heavy when I'm wearing light fast-dry shorts in the summer, and I find myself constantly adjusting the tension through the day since the material is so unforgiving and can feel like it's digging into my sides. Now I'm wearing a Patagonia hiking belt and find it perfect. It might not work well for heavy guns at 4:00, but for appendix carry it's perfect for even my steel framed 3" Kimber K6s.
