If you carry a large automatic with a heavy magazine in a high-riding outside the waistband holster that has a single loop or a small distance between loops or clips, you need a very stiff belt. On the other hand, if you are carrying a relatively small and light gun low inside the wasitband in a holster with widely-spaced attachment points, you can get by with a pretty flimsy belt. I carry an XD subcompact in a Comp-Tac Minotaur. It is usually with a good gunbelt, but when I wear a flimsy belt, there is almost no difference. I carry fairly low, and the attachments are wide enough that there is significant curve between them--That helps stabilize without relying on the stiffness of the belt. A stiff belt will never hurt.
