the foundation of any good concealed-carry platform is a good gun belt
going to be talking about something that I think most concealed carrier's don't
think about and that's your gun belt the most popular way to conceal carry is
either inside the waistband or outside the waistband and what most people don't
think about is that you really need a good strong supportive built to hold
that gun up and keep it secure and I've been wearing this gun belt for about
five years now and it's from bull hide belts calm now I'll put a link to that
in the description below so you can check one out for yourself there are
some major differences between a bull hide belt and your average belt that
you'll get at Belk or Walmart or something like that and we'll get deeper
into those in a minute when we get to the table top but here's a quick
comparison for you this is a belt from bull hide belts calm and you can see how
it's so rigid it supports itself when you hold it up on its side like that and
this is your average Walmart built no support no rigidity at all it just flops
over when you try to hold it up on its side and that tells you a lot about how
it's going to support anything that you're clipping onto it on your waist
especially a gun most of your guns that you're carrying are gonna weigh at least
a pound if not more in this bill can't even support its own weight much less
the weight of your gun now let's get over to the tabletop and I'll show you
exactly what makes this bull hide belt so special alright guys know people
picture a lot of different things when you talk about a gun bill some people
might be picturing a tactical belt something like this right here with a
lot of gear on it and this is really cool and I do plan on doing a video on
this bill but when we're talking about everyday use everyday carry concealed
carry this obviously isn't something that you're going to conceal carry
everyday you're not going to be able to carry all this gear on your waist and
conceal it the whole point of concealed carry is to be covert to be low-profile
so people don't know what you're carrying on you so something like this
built from bull hide belts is going to be exactly
you want it looks just like a regular belt that anybody would wear it's a nice
leather as you can see this one down here is one that I've been wearing for a
really long time that's got some nice wear on it and everything but it is
still holding up really great this is a new one that I just got from them and
these belts have some key differences from your average belt that you'll pick
up at Walmart or somewhere like that and I'll show you that right here in a
minute so one of the biggest differences that you're going to notice right off
that is the thickness the built from bull hide belts is a quarter inch thick
that is a super thick belt now if my dad had a belt like this when I was growing
up I'd been scared to death of this thing now hopefully you can see this on
the screen this brown belt here is representative of pretty much all the
belts that I saw at Walmart this is almost not even an eighth of an inch
thick this belt from bull hide belts is going
to be double the thickness if not more than that and the reason for that is so
it's more rigid and it can really hold that gun up which you don't want when
you're carrying a gun especially concealed carry is you don't want that
gun flopping around you don't want it sagging down and pulling your pants down
throughout the day and if you're wearing a flimsy belt like this right here that
can't even support its own weight you can't expect it to support the weight of
a gun now another easy test to show you this is again the belt from Walmart now
all I have to do is pinch that and I can fold it all the way over that is not
what you want right there now if I try to do that same thing with
the bull hide belt
even with all the force that I can put on it
I still can't fold it over the way I did just with two fingers on the Walmart
belt and what you just saw is exactly what's going to happen when you try to
strap a gun on to a bill that isn't designed for carrying a gun and these
belts are also the craftsmanship on these belts is just immaculate got a
nice stainless Paul Revere style buckle here with a roller on the end to help
you really tighten that thing down it's got some beautiful stitching here just a
quick note this is one full solid piece of leather here the stitching is just a
cosmetic thing so this is one solid piece of leather and that means it is
going to hold up better over time another thing you'll notice that you
don't see on a lot of belts is how many holes it has and how close together they
are so a lot of belts they may have a hole every inch and that doesn't give
you a whole lot of adjustment if you're carrying a gun especially if you carry
different size guns different days inside the waistband it's going to
change your waist size and you may have to adjust that built and the bull hide
belts offer plenty of adjustment so no matter what gun you're wearing you can
adjust it to fit that day now let me show you this is the belt that I've been
wearing for years now and it is very well worn in I've been wearing it every
day for about five years and I'll show you that while it has lost some of its
rigidity it still holds up very well if I try to give it that fold ever test
I still cannot fold it over these belts will last a very long time this is
another style they have here this is a brown double stitched with a little bit
of a different style buckle and this was distressed when I got it but it
definitely has a lot of real-world use on it and this thing is holding up great
I've never had any issue carrying a gun with that belt and bohot belts offers a
lot of different options they got plenty of different colors you can choose from
different patterns if you look on their website you'll see
they were rated number one and concealed carry weapons belts they have a lot of
different styles they you can get exotic belts they have everything from bull
hide to snakeskin alligator you can even get water buffalo and hippopotamus belts
from these that just shows you how many different options you can get they also
offer a steel core built if you want something that's even more rigid and
even more supportive you can get their steel core built that give you that
extra rigidity and what it has is a stainless spring steel core that creates
a super stiff belt and like I said if you're looking something with a little
bit of style they have dress belts they have casual belts western belts so
there's a lot of different options to fit what you want now while we're
talking about all the different options they do have various widths you can get
all the way from one and a quarter inch and get one and a half inch which is
what I have here and you can get one and three-quarter if you want something
extra wide now I know there are a lot of gun bill options on the market but the
problem with a lot of them is a lot of them that you see are that really super
tactical look while some people like that and some people can pull that off
depending on what you do for your job and where you go on a daily basis and
you might can wear that real tactical cool-looking Cobra buckle belt but
that's just not realistic for a lot of people a lot of people would prefer to
blend in have something that looks like just your average leather belt now if
you're wearing one of these belts from bull hide belts you can be super covert
undercover people when they look at these belts it looks just like a regular
belt that anybody wears they're not going to instantly look at that and
think gun like they would with those Cobra buckle tactical belts so that is a
big plus for wearing something like this but our main focus here is to get
something that's super rigid and really going to hold up over time and really
support whatever it is that you're planning on strapping on to this bill
and you're definitely going to get that with a belt from bull hide belts
