Independent perspectives and scores from published reviews.
The reviewer highlights the belt's exceptional full-grain leather quality and stiffness, noting that the single-piece construction prevents delamination. While they appreciate the 100-year warranty and traditional aesthetic, they mention a required 1-2 week break-in period and note that fixed holes offer less precision than ratchet systems.
Rifle Configurator Staff
Named the best leather belt in their 2026 roundup, the reviewer praises the Gunner for its classic look, quality, and longevity. They note that while it is a heavy-duty, reliable option, it is thick, which can make bending over slightly more difficult, and it is not intended for carrying excessive amounts of heavy gear.
RECOIL Staff
The reviewer rates the Gunner as the best overall leather CCW belt, noting it showed no deformation or stretch after 60 days of carrying a full-size pistol. They emphasize the belt's ability to hold a holster securely without sagging, but advise users to be careful with sizing, recommending ordering two sizes larger than their pant waist.
Nautica Malibu Tri Staff
The reviewer gives the belt a positive verdict, noting its high-quality full-grain leather construction and sturdiness that kept their firearm firmly pressed against their body. While noting it can be somewhat uncomfortable during the first week, they recommend it as a high-quality option for EDC or dressing up.
