You might shop around a bit, Blue Force tends to be a bit high on cost spectrum. You really just need to find a good quality belt system and there is a bunch of them. They all argue and posture that each is the best but frankly I see dozens of different brands worn every day and have yet to see a belt fail. Holsters yes, belts no. Get in some of the IDPA or USPSA forums and I bet you could find a used one very reasonable. We all trade and swap gear all the time as we get fatter! Hah!
