OK yeh, it's not Tuesday it's Thursday, but this is the second illustrated installment. I want to thank everyone who advised me on belts: Derek, Alan, Linoge, aczarnowski, and Sevesteen. The thing about the cool and dressy Ye Olde Gould & Goodrich holster (that I got off eBay) is the amount of up-high top-leverage it can deliver against the thin band of the belt. With nothing better to do, such is illustrated herewith:
As you can see from the close-up it's going to have to use an intermediary belt-loop to prevent the tragedy of spill-out.So...maybe it wasn't the best choice, but I was attracted by the siren lure of the built-in extra mag holder. Having loaded the Sig into the rig and topped it up with the extra mag, one can see how much of the load is up and over the center of gravity.
If this were a boat it would capsize. If this were a dirtbike I'd install bar risers to resist all the up-high moment of intertia that occurs when standing on the pegs.
No big deal, this seems to be a dress-belt kinda thing you wear with a suit, not a Tactical Ninja Kydex holster or a an plain-clothes IWB and as a worth-while learning experience it's also a not too-expensive means to evaluate stuff.
I think I might even still have a suit hanging around here somewhere among all the Hawaiian shirts.

If you get yourself a double-ply belt, or, even better, a double-ply belt with a kydex (or other stiffener) insert, that nasty droopiness will go right out the window.
I stretched my single-ply leather belt a good half an inch in two weeks of carrying my PPS around on it... not so good.
