Looking into different options on a belt and slide or a culling belt, Is there any big difference between using a canvas belt rather than a full leather one?

The purpose of the posts will be to show what interesting guns of good quality and value may be popping up on the Internet each week. My personal guidelines of a "good gun" are as follows:
