Their belt is not necessary but a good quality double thickness belt is a must. Sorry, they dont sell these at JC Penney. I spent more money on my belt than my holster and I have a Versa Max II holster.
What he said.
I actually have a CrossBreed belt
and two from BeltMan, one bullhide and one horsehide reinforced.
The CB belt is orders of magnitude better than any belt you'll find hanging from a rack, it is a superb belt ... that being said, I wear my CB belt for a workbelt, and use BeltMan belts for everything else, they're just better, exactly how much better matters on your preferences, but I think they look a little sharper (no two-color top/bottom edge), are a bit stiffer (a LOT stiffer with reinforced horsehide), and are a bit slimmer, which works better with the CB ST holster, amusingly.
I also like the BeltMan option of more holes closer together. The CB belt had a nice roller buckle, I think that buckle is on a BM belt now while a BM buckle is on the CB belt to go through the metal detector at work.
So ... yes, you want a real gunbelt, and CB lets you do it with one-stop-shopping ... but check out BeltMan and the others before you decide.
