Looking back, the gun may have made me feel safer but I\u2019m not sure how quickly I could have gotten to it had I needed it.<\/p>\n<p>When I started working in a gun store, I decided to wear a pistol on my belt while I was behind the counter, and purchased a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search\/Category\/308\/Guns\/Pistols\/Glock-Pistols\/23.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"a-good-stiff-belt\" title=\"The Importance of A Good Stiff Belt\"> Glock 23<\/a> and a nice Bianchi 81 PDQ holster.<\/p>\n<p>I hated it.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed heavy and floppy and was always banging against my elbow or trying to drag the right side of my jeans down. I waited until after I\u2019d walked through the doors at work to reluctantly thread my heater onto my belt, and I couldn\u2019t wait to take it off at the end of the day. My cute, stylish, on-sale-at-The-Gap belt was in no way intended to support the weight of a loaded pistol and a metal-lined, double-layered cowhide holster.<\/p>\n<p>The thin and decorative belts in question were rarely much more than an inch wide, while the tunnel loops of the PDQ holster were cut to accommodate a one and three-quarter inch duty-type belt. My pistol pitched and rolled on my belt like a rowboat in a North Atlantic gale.<\/p>\n<p>It was by accident that I solved my problem. I had traded the Glock for a SIG, which necessitated a new holster, and said holster just happened to have one and a half inch loops. At almost the exact same time, I picked up a wider, thick leather belt from (don\u2019t laugh) The Gap. The difference made by a holster and belt combination that didn\u2019t allow the gun to shift, flop and slide was amazing.<\/p>\n<p>After that revelation, I started shopping for belts expressly designed to hold a holstered pistol, and have worn guns much larger and heavier than that old Glock 23 in complete comfort. In fact, I\u2019ve been known to find myself napping atop a pistol having forgotten I was wearing it.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your belt width matches the size of your holster\u2019s loops to keep the gun from rocking back and forth. Look for a reinforced belt to keep the pistol from flopping out and away from your body. A contoured belt will distribute the weight more evenly and make it even more resistant to rolling over or under the gun.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said at the start: One of the most important parts of your carry gun isn\u2019t part of the gun.<\/p>\n<p><em>Discover how you can join nearly 300,000 responsibly armed Americans who already rely on the USCCA to protect their families, futures and freedoms: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscca.com\/GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"USCCATop5\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">USCCA.com\/gunsamerica<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The thin and decorative belts in question were rarely much more than an inch wide, while the tunnel loops of the PDQ holster were cut to accommodate a one and three-quarter inch duty-type belt.
