I've lost a bit of weight. And the gunbelt I have (from gunbelts.com I think, with the plastic middle layer for strength) needs a new hole added all the way at the beginning.
Is there a tool that I can go get at Home Depot/Lowes that will do it cleanly for me?
I'm sure I can make a functional hole with my porter-cable drill, but....
I'd rather get to a good weight, and buy a right fitting belt then, but while in transition...
See if you have a leather punch on your trusty multi tool.

Try a .22 at 5 yards.
It would test your accuracy and see how you perform under stress.
They tend to make a hole, but leave it ragged.... at least any time I tried... I'd rather not bugger up a nice belt.Originally Posted by LittleLebowski
Based on a friends' recommendation I'm going to try a shoe repair person in town...
And I have to say, I kinda like the recommendation on the 22... it would make it "genuine"
The local craft store you frequent will have some leather tools, including a leather punch.
In case you miss with the 22, use spent cartridge as a hole punch.
Actually a steel 5.56 case works well. I have used it for a gasket punch in the past.
You can send it to me with $5 for return shipping and I can pop one in there for you as well.
The 5.56 Steel Case would work too - just hit the edge with a chamfering tool to sharpen it up.
That's a nice offer:-)
A nail and a hammer.
