What's the best budget Han Solo belt/holster?

I'm on a pretty tight budget here so I'd like something as inexpensive as possible while still looking reasonably good and being sturdy enough not to just fall apart right away. I also have the Disney Parks version of the blaster, which seems to have a somewhat longer barrel than the more commonly used cheap blasters like the Rubies one. This one (the 'updated' version) looks pretty good in the pictures but the reviews are rather mixed. Anyone have experience with that one, or other similarly priced (or cheaper) ones?

There are a few costume replicas that are pretty good. Here is one that is relatively popular: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Han-Solo-B...hash=item53fe690b20:m:m853CFjO6lgn-JT2GGMAfGA

Todd's Costumes also has one, and they're made for each version http://www.toddscostumes.com/costumes/han-solo-costume/han-solo-holster-rig/

I haven't gotten any of these before but there are a few reviews on here if you look around. Good Luck!

It seems Han and Anovo are a little back ordered. I'm on the same endeavor you are.

Todd's Costumes hands down is my favorite. Highest quality, best price. I have two of them.

Thanks!

Here is a good option since Todd's is out of stock.

I would not recommend anything from China if you want quality and accuracy.

That one looks a bit wimpy; made with leather(?) that's too thin and the wrong kind. If you want one that will hold up and actually retain it's form I wouldn't get this one. I do a lot of leather working and IMO if you want one that's not going to fall apart right away you kind of have to spend the big bucks. All the affordable ones I've seen look pretty terrible.

I'd be happy to make you a Solo pants belt though (the one with 3 sets of holes) for cheaper than I normally sell them if you don't mind having it made from a less than prime part of the cow hide. It'd still be high quality full grain leather, just a little softer and prone to wrinkling.
