Armour are good belts, albeit a little rough for my tastes. They are blunt at the end/ no taper and stiff. They hold an OWB holster well.
I started with DM Bullard, who makes my favorite OWB holster. Their belts are amazingly sturdy, but a bit too pliable to hold a heavier pistol in OWB holster.
I next had a really nice belt made by Rick Garcia and it is sturdy, holds both holsters well and I felt was a good buy.
Next I tried Armour after learning they were handed over to a relative who continued to make the belts. I am a veteran and many holster/belt makers offer a ret'd military/leo discount, I am both. I called to order another Armour in another color and asked the guy for the discount code. He proceeded to give me a talking to about how he couldn't afford to give discounts because it cut into his profit but he would do it just one more time. I told him I'd pass.
Next, I contacted A&G and spoke to Al. He was delightful, pleasant and walked me thru what I didn't like about the Armour and he said he would make me one that would do it for me if I would just trust him. He was right, I got a beautiful horsehide that just never sags... period. I just ordered another one and spoke with him again, this time we discussed my weight loss and he calculated what size I should order by counting belt holes(he had made a 7 hole to be more adjustable) He gave the discount gladly.
I have a drawer of dead belts and holsters and probably will never buy anything but A&G again. He was only 10 bucks or so more than Armour. It's just cool these days of imports and assembly lines to have something made custom and in the USA.
