Wilderness Tactical: 3-stitch or 5-stitch?

[Landlocked Pirate]

Hi, y'all.

I've decided to buy a Wilderness Tactical Frequent Flyer belt in 1 1/4". My carry gun will be either a S&W 3" K-frame or a Glock 17. Do any of you know if the 3-stitch is sufficient or do I need to get the 5-stitch? I don't really want the extra stiffness of the 5-stitch unless it's necessary.

BTW, I just got my first real gun belt from Beltman, and all of you were right. A dedicated gunbelt is a necessity.

Thanks.

I have a Bison Design which is a carbon copy of the 3-stitch Wilderness. It is noticeably more limber than my 5-stitch Wilderness, but is ample for guns the size you say.

I like the stiffness of the 5 stitch. I've never felt uncomfortable wearing it.

Thanks for the replies, I'll probably give the 5-stitch a try.

I've been wearing the 3-stitch for years and have never had a problem with support.
