If you are looking for an entry level belt like I was, then the 5.11 fits the bill. It looks pretty good, is stiff, and holds everything up very well. It also costs 1/2 as much as any other belt of it's type.
The downside is that it uses a thick plastic insert, so this think is really stiff. That can be good to hold up a heavy gun, but it can be difficult and a bit uncomfortable as well.
For me it was a great way to start out as I figure out what I like and don't like without spending a lot of money.
I'm buying another one in a different style / color, I like them so much.
Pros: Cost, Looks, Function
Cons: Stiff (could be a pro), not all leather
