New rigger gun belt idpa ccw belt 38"-42" od green
I build these to be very stiff so they don't fold under the weight of sub-load, or holster, thigh rig.
It is constructed of two layers of 1 3/4" wide Type 7 mil-spec parachute harness webbing, a third layer of narrower webbing sandwiched inbetween for stiffness. The buckle is a mil-spec V-ring buckle rated at 2500 lbs. For all structural sewing I use 7 total passes along the length of the belt with #138 nylon bonded thread. I hide three of the passes on the inside to keep the belt looking clean, and I place the four others near the edge where they are less likely to abrade while leaning against things. Velcro secures the free end of the belt.
