Clyde, we're glad you are pleased with your new gun belt. Let us know if we can help, in the future.

Received my belt from Al yesterday. Great belt, better people.

How much of a difference does a 5 hole to a 7 hole make? Yea, I know.. 2 holes.. Seems there must be some difference or it wouldn't be offered. right?

More length for when ya get old and fat?? LOL

Depends if you switch back and forth from OWB to IWB carry. I bought the 7 holer from Al for that very reason

I'm already old and fat.. :eek:

I've read where people compare the 5 to 7 holes with switching from IWB to OWB but does the 1/4" difference make that much of a difference? When new the belt should sit in the center of a 5 hole belt.. as long as you measured right. That would be a snug or how I wear my belt today. If going OWB I would guess that's where it would stay? Going IWB I might have to go out another hole? Do people find the 3/4 spacing to provide a more comfortable fit.. I guess that's going to be personal choice? What's the downside to 7 holes? Seem's all of Al's photo's show 5 hole belts.

Yep, it makes a difference. I wear mine on the 4th hole when OWB and 3rd hole with IWB. The only downside is 7 hole isn't Quick Ship, I think. Still had mine in about a week and a half

I agree with others. Followed Al's advice on 7 hole for IWB and OWB and he was absolutely right. Can't imagine there's a better product, or person to work with, in the market.

I guess I'm resurrecting an old thread, but wanted to chime in about A&G Custom Gun Leather and their belts; I've got 3 and they hold up excellently. Stiff and robust; I wear the black one with my suits. I opted for the 7 holes due to the 3/4" spacing instead of 1", which gives me more finer adjustment. Solid folks over there.

I use 1.25" for dress pants, and 1.5" for casual/jeans.

It's all good. I love my belt from A&G. Been wearing one for several years now.
