Pro2AInPA Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 When you guys ordered your CR speed belts, did you order your actual pants size, or did you order one size larger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'd say order 1-2 sizes larger than your normal belt size, whole lot easier to have it too big and cut it off than to try to stretch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I got mine one size larger and wish I had gotten it two sizes larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placing my order with CPWSA now. Ok so just to make sure I get a size I'm going to be happy with. . . I swear size 36 jeans. The pants I wear when I carry concealed IWB and therefore my concealed carry belt as well are 38. Should I get a size 38 CR speed belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hold on. Somewhere there is a recommended size. Maybe CR website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any doubt go 1 size bigger. I wear 38 jeans my actual waist size is 42 so I have the CR speed belt size of 44. Hope that helps. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The belts come in 2" increments. Measure your waste and get two sizes up. I.e 36" waist= 40" belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a 44 CR belt and it's just right for me. Not too much, not to little. About 5-6" overlap. HTH. JimInFl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks for all the help everyone. As far as cutting the belt if it's TOO long, I'm assuming I can just burn the end with a lighter to keep it from fraying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Correct. It will be hard to cut as well but you should not have to if you go up no more than two sizes (4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMO66 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I just got mine last week. I wear 33 pants and ordered a 36 CRS belt. It's just about rite plus I have room to grow. A 34 would of prob been OK to but with the velcro there's plenty of ajustment. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hello: I have a 34" waist and have a 36" and a 38" belts. The 38" belt is used for single stack,Limited 10, and Production and the 36" for Open and Limited. The longer belt is better Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I wear a size 38 belt normally. I have tried a 36, 38, and a 40. I tried the 36 because I don't like the overlap on the inner belt. The smaller size would have worked but it just didn't feel like there was enough overlap on the inner belt. There definately was not enough overlap on the outer belt with the smaller size! I tried the 40 to get more overlap on the outer belt and it worked. However I didn't like the extra overlap on the inner at all. So I now use the 38 inner belt which is my regular belt size. I then use the 40 outer belt to get a little more overlap. It gives me enough overlap to use 2 of the belt keepers which feels very safe! I use my 40 inner and 38 outer as my practice rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 I have what might be a silly quesiton. How do these belts keep your pants up? Do you guys wear a normal belt under the inner velcro belt or do you just have to wear pants that fit tight and don't need a belt? Since there are no buckles or anything, I don't see how these competition belts hold your pants up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the outer belt velcros to the inner belt. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyburg Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Also, just remember, even if the belt is to big it will still wrap with all the velcro and its out of the way behind you. Unless you wrap differently. I ordered mine a size or two larger and could have gone a size or two smaller. But also remember that once you put all your gear on it seems to shrink.

Pezco Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 No need to cut off the excess as it is typically at your back and out of the way. And as someone said earlier you can grow into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
