Just curious as to what you guys consider to be "the" gunbelt as far as accuracy is concerned.
Cheers,

We're talking about the Raiders belt, right? In that case, Noel Howard's gunbelt should be #1 - after all, MBA Costumes did make the belt for the film.
The MBA belt is no longer available, but there are several very good substitutes on the market - strangely, they are all connected to COW board members...

Here's a comparison pic:

All the above depicted gunbelts seem quite excellent, so, IMO, it's all a matter of personal preference.
When it comes to the belts from ToD and LC, the sources are quite scarce. Noel Howard offered them as well, but I haven't heard of anyone around here who actually owns an MBA ToD or LC...
I bought my "ToD/LC" from beltoutlet.com, and as far as accuracy is concerned, I'm perfectly satisfied with it:

I'm partial to the Texas Jones, Texas Action Gear gunbelt. I've only owned his belt, but I love the overall look to it. More of a dark brown, than an orange color that alot of Indys leather apparel seems to be.
I don't know if the "orangy" color is true to the films, but I prefer a darker belt. Same thing goes with his bag strap and whip holder.
Also, the buckle and keeper on TJs belts look awesome. I actually use it as a regular belt,(when it's not being used as a gunbelt) since it goes great with the Indy jacket.
Texas Jones customer service is also top notch. I ordered a complete set of his wares, and they arrived 2 days later. Don't know if it was just luck to get it that quick, but as another great film character stated:
"In my experience, there is no such THING as luck"
