Gunbelt sizing
Well, I just got my gunbelt from WSP, and I ordered it one size larger than my normal waist size, as per having been told previously. however, I'm almost positive it's too small this way. how is the belt supposed to fall on to the hips? if you were to even it out and take it off the angle, should it fall straight down around your legs? the belt is loose enough only on the last hole.. and it seems to fit ok on the second hole, but that's all the room I have. I figured I should be using quite a few holes. any help?

the gunbelt should be loose enough that it'll fall below your normal belt (ie - not sit on top of it) but not too loose that the weight of the whip and holster/gun will pull it down below your hips and trip you up while running away from arab assassins 
for me, the ideal placement is the above fit sitting in the middle buckle hole...imo, it looks best that way. i returned a NH gunbelt for one size smaller as the one i had was on the last hole and was loose enough to pull down still.
as a tip, if you order pants from NH and they fit....just go 2" up for the NH gunbelt, not 4" as was recommended......either that or i have no hips and butt to hold the belt up (which is a possibility)

ah.. gotcha. to correct what I said tho, the belt is only loose enough to fall down on the FIRST hole. it seems to fit ok on the second hole in... thats what makes me think I dont have nearly enough slack in it. I'd post pictures, but I'm so lazy.. also, the belt shipped with some sort of sticky wax-like film on it. who had way too much fun with my belt, and how do I clean up after them??
