You might be surprised but it makes a difference. Some people try laying their belt flat on a table and then force the bullets into the loops. The preferred method, and one that won't make you mad because you think your bullet loops are too darn tight, is to put on your gun belt before you add your ammo. That way the natural bend around your body is already there for you and its easy to slide your cartridges in the loops.
If you are the kind of guy that likes things laid out ahead of you then just let the gun belt bend as you add your ammunition to each loop. We know...seems so simple but really, if you have been laying your belt flat to load your bullets you will thank us for this little tidbit. And, you are welcome ;)
Today we explore the definition of "custom", particularly as it relates to custom holsters and gun belts that are hand made by one person using only hand tools and a sewing machine. No clickers, no dye cut pressed patterns, no machines stamping out generic holsters like a dime a dozen, no embossing, no cheap or old imported leather, no other hand touches it but the Maker. It makes a difference.

Circle KB is entering our 15th year of providing people across the world well made, hand crafted gun belts and holsters and western cowboy memorabilia. As we enter this year we are looking forward to the people we will meet and serve.
When we started Circle KB we were younger but not any more eager to do a good job. That I believe has been the secret to our success. We are not a big business in today's' standards but we are a good business. We are committed to listening to our customers, doing things efficiently, and we care about how much you like our products and service. Our goal is to do a good job for each person, every day.
We have grown our business answering questions, finding good products and bringing them to the market. Not everything we do has been a huge success. But, what we like to do most has. We enjoy helping people keep the cowboy and western frontier spirit alive in their homes and lifestyles. It is our pleasure to talk to people from all over the world. We are most grateful for the opportunities we have had to serve our over 20,000 orders to date.
