Absolutely. It's pretty unique stuff. Owner has a ton of videos on his website on why his product is better. He even did a tongue in cheek video on how to knock off his bag. Which really showed why his product was superior. Parachute cord stitching, rivets, etc. those bags are...dare I say...beautiful. There's videos all over the Internet that review his gear. My favorite is the one that shows where to fit the 1911!

Amish made, best prices and last a lifetime. You can also switch buckles. Recommend you use at training what you will wear to work, you'll be more comfortable with it.

I was a big Saddleback fan until a few months ago when they jacked their prices up. Their stuff was always pricy, but to me it was worth it. In September the prices went up significantly, and for me the products aren't worth the new prices.
That being said, I do love my Tow Belts from Saddleback. Plenty stiff enough for carrying, and should last the rest of my career. |

I got my belt from Bull Hide Belts. I've been really happy with it. Good quality gun belt and customer service.

Any link to the video? Couldn't find it.
How to knock off a bag: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a11wlngpuSY If you search "Saddleback large bag review" you'll find a bunch. They did raise their prices significantly recently. I believe that serves two purposes: increased production costs and to make the bag more exclusive. Once they got some publicity I believe demand outstripped ability to produce. Funny, I never knew this but the owner lives in my city in TX (disclaimer... I don't get anything from plugging these bags). They have a pretty "Western/TX/Indiana Jones" look and I happen to that. They weather well and get a great worn patina. Because the belts are pure leather they will naturally wear with holster use but it doesn't look bad. I routinely carry the Sig P229 (.40) or P238 (.380) depending on where I'm going and what I'm wearing. And since my wife carries the P238 we can exchange magazines during a prolonged firefight.;) Although she does prefer her AR with Hello Kitty stock. She's also a muscle car girl (I know, lucky guy right? Except for that Baltimore Ravens thing mental illness). Product review: sense of scale with the bags...includes the Colt 1911 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b122X1fCL0w |

u order the 1/4 inch thickness on the belt or the "normal" thickness? I've read the thicker leather won't fit loops of a dress/uniform pants... thoughts?

Consider Barbed Wire Leather's double thick belt http://www.bwleather.com
Got one 15 years ago and wearing it now. |
Coincidence that as I put my belt on this morning it broke and I find this thread tonight.....I think not. One is winging it's way to my house as I type this.

Thanks! Do you only have the Old Bull Belt, or do you have the Tow Belt too? I'm just curious what the difference is. Also the Sig P229 is a great gun!
