How many CCW belts have you tried?
If youre anything like me, a lot.
Ive tried the weave belts, leather belts, thin belts and wide belts.
Its starting to sound a little like a Dr. Seuss book.
Finding a good quality belt off the shelf is hard.
Those weave belts are common, very comfortable to wear, but not when you add a holster.
Even inside the waistband, those belts just dont stay put.
You end up fidgeting with your holster all day.
Its hard to be concealed when youre constantly adjusting the placement.
The last thing you want is the belt to flop about because the holster is pulling on it.
Ive used a few belts in the past that did just that.
Getting past the friction retention is hard when the holster follows you.
Ill lead right out of the gate by stating that it fits comfortably, with no binding or pinching.
Its hybrid cobra buckle fits easily through belt loops and locks closed securely.
Opening the buckle is as easy and pinching the two buttons, and it then quickly pops open.
The high-quality aluminum buckle wont open on its own.
Once locked closed, it stays closed.
The belt is 1.5 wide and made of nylon webbing.
I carried aSpringfield Armory 10mm XD-Moutside the waistband with it, and the holster stayed right in place.
Hook and loop will allow you to personalize the size to fit you just right.
Put the Velcro back in place and center the belt.
There are four colors from which to choose: black, coyote, tan and wolf gray.
This way your belt will always match your clothing choice.
However, with the Cobra buckle, this belt stands in front of the pack.
As I mentioned, I have a lot of belts.
Several days of wearing this belt have proven to me its comfortable and well-made.
Its a bit like a duty belt, but not nearly as bulky.
Thats one thing I always disliked about wearing mine.
What good is holding everything in place when its always getting in your way?
