A good belt completes the package, keeping the gun tight on the hips and close to the body.

These are necessary tools to keep in the toolbox of self-defense.

This brute of a handgun weighs north of 50 ounces fully loaded.

It features a 5 barrel, reinforced heavy dust cover, and a Trijicon RMR with suppressor-height sights.

In conjunction with the Corvus, I use two other Galco products.

Holding all of this together, the belt I typically wear with this loadout is a Galco EDC belt.

Made of SCUBA web, this is an incredibly rigid belt.

It is a 112 belt that utilizes a quick-action cobra-style belt buckle.

I highly recommend investing heavily in your belt and holster, no matter the size of your EDC firearm.

Good gear complements good training well.
