It is more stiff than their EDC. The buckle is still big and I still wear it off to the side. I pretty much always wear that belt now if I am going out for more than a quick trip to the store and expect to have 'things' attached to my belt. If I am just around the house, I still will wear the EDC and 1.75 clips I have on 'holdy things' will still work fine for quick errands.

Maybe the BA crew has some special velcro sauce, but no one talked about it so I went with Kore. I also compared Kore to NexBelt and I saw more reviews of Nex's ratcheting system wear out. Means I wear my buckle to the side due to size and rig, but is worth it to me for a longer-lasting system/buckle (the nylon belts are way cheaper to replace than the buckle).

Got a similarly small buckle and I'm absolutely pumped to get it, I've wanted to ccw ever since I was a kid. Idc that I look nothing like most ccw/edc dudes I see, hell I look like I'd be at an anti-gun rally, but it was never about the looks, it was always about having an option in the worst case scenario.

Just got mine, blacked out with the x7 buckle for concealment. It's alot more rigid than I expected, but it's not uncomfortable at all. This is my first gun belt so I can't compare it to anything, but I can see this being much thinner than a leather belt. It does seem like a bit overkill for a small micro pistol, the racheting system feels solid and really easy to adjust when sitting down. The 8lb rating really points this as a duty style belt, if they could make a softer belt that's slightly stretchy like the groove life belt, that would make this conceal better AIWB, but that's just nit picking.

This was my EDC setup. I’ve switched to a Tier1 Holster. It’s pretty much the same size as the one in the video and it’s very comfortable. The holster in the video was comfortable but it didn’t conceal as well as the Tier1. Believe it or not, these “big” holster do a great job of concealing and spreading the weight of the gun to make everything pretty dang comfortable.

He needs a sleeved UHMW belt to hold all that BS.

Exactly 😃 Except I have no idea what that is so…

I hate paid reviews. Or reviews where the reviewer hopes for more free stuff.

Totally agree 👍

I got to pick one up I like the ratcheting system I use a magnetic belt while it's secure the belt starts to unloop from the buckle under weight I carry a Rex zero 1s with a light so the holster starts to almost sag it still works I'd feel more comfortable if it didn't

Nice 👍 I haven’t tried the magnetic belts yet. The ratcheting buckle on these belts has been very secure for me though 👌

It's to stiff almost

Not sure what you think that. It’s been the best edc belt I’ve worn to date. If you don’t carry a cub the. You probably don’t need a stiff/sturdy belt and could get away with something smooth and stretchy perhaps 🤷‍♂️

There is no such thing as too many belts.
