Frequently Asked Questions
How does belt size 40 translate to my actual waist size?
DeSantis belt sizing typically corresponds to your pants waist size. A size 40 belt is generally intended for those wearing size 40 pants, though it's always a good idea to measure your waist over your clothing and at the position you plan to wear the belt to confirm the right fit. If you're between sizes, DeSantis recommends sizing up to ensure adequate room for a holster and firearm.
Is the E25 stiff enough to support a full-size handgun and holster?
Yes. The E25 was engineered specifically as a weapons platform, originally designed for NYPD officers as an under-belt. Its bonded leather and synthetic construction, combined with a 3.5mm thickness, provides the rigidity needed to prevent sagging, twisting, or shifting — even when carrying a full-size duty-weight pistol in an OWB or IWB holster.
Will this belt fit holsters and attachments designed for standard 1.5-inch belts?
Yes. The E25 measures 1.5 inches wide, which is the most common width used by holster manufacturers for CCW and duty holsters. It is compatible with the vast majority of paddle, loop, and clip-style holster attachments designed for 1.5-inch belts, making it a versatile choice for pairing with your existing gear.
