Rated 5 out of 5 by Sherman9 Super high quality
I am not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. This belt is nice thick leather. No its not a police or tactical outer belt. Its not meant to be. IT is a stout leather pants belt. The leather is of high quality. It feels like a gun sling from days gone by just as it says. I LOVE the clean look since the running end of the belt once buckled is under the belt so is not visible. I just wish they made it in black too! I plan to buy a second one and have a leathersmith dye it black for me.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LLBeanMarine Good for around the house but not in the field
I bought this belt to wear in the field while hunting/camping but found that the thickness and width of the belt will not support a side arm, extra magazine, and knife. It looks great and will work for wear around the house but I will not use it for hunting/camping. Also, the buckles are not very sturdy and started to bend. If you are looking for something to wear around the house or in town then this is your belt. If you are going to put any weight on the belt you need to shop around for a different design.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jskr classic cool
My husband wore his current gunslinger belt for many years. It finally started to look a little too broken in for dressier occasions (although it looks cooler in my opinion), so he requested a new one for Christmas. He'll be very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MorganK Good so far
I got this for my dad and so far he loves it. I got the small at first but exchanged it for a medium. I thought he was a 34in waist but hes actually a 36 and the medium fits him great.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LesP Belt sizing
I purchased the belt because it came in xl-xxl. Now I am a 44 waist and the belt is at the next to last notch. I am not sure that it was made for my size or if it was mis-marked. The quality is great it just the sizing that is in question.

Rated 4 out of 5 by mrtallyman Gun Sling Belt - It's More Than That
I'm a gun enthusiast and a guitarist - although not usually at the same time. Just as this belt eliminates scratches on gunstocks it eliminates scratches on the backs of guitars. I'm all about multipurpose products. So I wear it when I hunt and when I play the guitar.
As noted in other reviews, the belt is inaccurately sized. Order a size larger than you admit to being and it will fit fine. I returned one and ordered up a size myself.
I have had no trouble with the hardware. Perhaps the inaccurate sizing issue may have something to do with the bent tabs others have experienced. Now that I am wearing the proper size, I do not expect the tabs to bend. They fit well in the holes and grip tightly. If they do bend or fail in some other way I will send it back. In my experience LLB stands behind their products.
The belt is comfortable. It is wide enough and substantial enough to look good with jeans, yet it also looks handsome with chinos. And, of course, it works well with field trousers. I Like it...a lot.

Rated 1 out of 5 by photodog Not like the original Gun Sling Belt of the '70's
I had high hopes that I had finally found a replacement for my original LL Bean gun sling belt purchased back in the '70's. Wore that belt out, but not the catch. I tried two of these new models and both had poor quality brass catches. The metal was thin and easily bent. Sizing was OK and leather quality looked good, but they must do something about the catch.

Works and does everything that it should. I think it should have some improvements with this belt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Oldepiper Gun Sling Belt
For me this is a great style of belt for casual as well as somewhat more dressed up wear. It looks great with jeans and yet has a clean no-buckle look so it can be worn with slacks or chinos and doesn't scream "look at me" the way a large metal jeans belt buckle can.
