New gun owners will spend hours researching which holster is best for their daily carry defensive pistol. However, they often neglect to buy a gun belt to go along with their new holster. This results in a holster that flops around on the waistline, as a good strong gun belt is the foundation of effective daily carry. Galco offers a wide variety of tactical holster belts that enable a shooter to carry even a full-sized handgun all day long, in complete comfort.

The Galco EDC belt is a modern take on the traditional Ranger-style belt which features adjustable billet strap and a quick-release cobra-style buckle. The belt is constructed of SCUBA webbing, with a hook-and-loop billet strap that can adjust to accommodate variations of waist or handguns carried inside the waistband. The rigidity and stability of the EDC belt make it an excellent choice for both training and everyday wear with even the heaviest of handguns and accessories. 

The Cobra tactical belt features a quick-release cobra-style buckle and is constructed of Type 13 nylon webbing. The belt features five independent rows of stitching for rigidity and stability, making it an excellent choice for both training and everyday concealed carry wear, of even a heavy handgun. 

Galco’s Heavy Duty Instructors Belts are also made of extremely rigid SCUBA webbing, and feature drop-forged buckles with a very tough and durable Cerakote finish. The belts can easily handle the weight of a heavy pistol and multiple accessories, and are available in both 1½-inch and 1¾-inch widths. The rugged looks and even more rugged design of the HD Instructors Belts make it perfect for training, competition, tactical use, and discreet concealed carry.

All three belt designs are available in black and flat dark earth color, and in multiple sizes to fit gun carriers of all body shapes and sizes. More information on these belts and other products from Galco can be found at galcogunleather.com.

New Pistol Suppressors for 2025

We hear you (pun intended)! This year, we are reporting manufacturer’s sound-reduction rating where available. Now, not every manufacturer makes that information publicly available, so you’ll see a fair number of “N/As” where no decibel-reduction numbers were provided, but rest assured that, despite what you might think, the noise-reduction rating is one of the least important factors when choosing a new suppressor (more on that in a future article).
