It was time to pick up a new belt or two and even though I have a Milt Sparks on order I just couldn't hold off until the first of the year. Looking around I found what I thought might be a good deal on an off the rack belt from High Noon Holster. They have a solid reputation and it was only $50. That's a very good price for a gun belt so I placed my order for their Second Skin.
I just can't tell you how disappointed I was when I opened the box. What they sent me was a reasonably good looking belt with all of the body and support of a $20 Wal-Mart belt. Now I'm stuck with a very expensive belt that's barely able to support my cell phone. Oh well It'll hold up my pants.
Well I still needed a belt and prefer leather so I placed bids on two ebay auctions and won both so I'm all set for belts for the next few years. But I thought I'd share some feedback.
First to arrive was a Hellweg leather belt. This Australian product is everything the Second Skin wasn't. Stiff and very supportive the Hellweg could probably support an anti-aircraft gun. It's almost too stiff but I think with time it will wear in. Maybe not in what's left of my lifetime but it's a keeper. The price in like new condition was $15.
If the High Noon was too soft and the Hellweg was a tad too hard, then the Cobra Gunskin was just right. Not too hard and not too soft and plenty supportive and the price was only $39 brand new on ebay. I assume that these are discontinued because it's no longer on Cobra's site.
