- Gun belts for the concealed carry dude (or chick.) A look at different belts that gun guys commonly use as their everyday belt. There will always be pros and cons to different belts, and hopefully I can touch on most of them in this video.

It's not a comprehensive video of every belt available, but it's a pretty good variety. If there is a belt you think I should check out, let me know in the comments! These are just some of the best options for an EDC belt in my opinion.

I'm a former state trooper and current range safety officer and firearm instructor, so I wear a firearm almost everyday, and I use a Kore gun belt. They're easy and quick to get on and off and the ability to adjust how tight the belt is makes them comfortable to wear. Whether carrying IWB or OWB the fit and feel is great. Belts are high quality leather that also look great allowing me to wear them with dress clothes as well. I actually recommend them to customers at my range whenever I can, not just for carry but for any occasion.
They dont sell those in EU.
I now own 3 gun belts from Kore Essentials and the guys at Kore just keep improving the quality and design of this product, based on earlier models and earlier reviews of this product. I recently received a tan tactical belt and it is one good looking belt, just like the others I own. I honestly have recommended the Kore belt to all my friends and family and i recommend it to anyone looking for a great looking, functional, quality gun belt. The gun belt keepers are also very sturdy, aesthetic and functional.
I purchased the Kore 1 1/2" tactical gun belt to use as a regular belt. The thickness and width of the gun belt styling prevents it from becoming misshapen, and the width prevents my pants from rolling over at the top when bending over, because the belt fills up nearly the entire loop. So far I am very satisfied with this belt. It is a quality belt and it looks great. I have worn ratchet style belts for many years. I love not dealing with holes that are too loose or too tight. Other types of belt buckles slip with activity. Ratchet belts are very adjustable with no slippage.

Solid belt
As a Maryland state licensed and NRA certified instructor, who teaches in several defensive pistol disciplines, I will suggest this gun belt to all students who choose to wear, as the Armed Citizen, and wants to carry in comfort. Having worn the leather gun belt for the last 6 years, my first day wearing this adjustable belt, I realized comfort for the first time. It has now been three weeks since receiving and wearing the belt comfortably, only fortifies my opinion to suggest this product, hands down. IDPA season is soon upon us, and I am curious to know how the belt will weather the abuse, more reviews on the way.
**update, I have used this belt for everyday carry since buying it. I have competed in two IDPA matches. It's SOLID! I recommend this to all my students, fellow instructors and competitors. GREAT PRODUCT, soon to be imitated, which is the greatest flattery. Stay safe all.
Essential gear
This is my second purchase from Kore. I've worn the first belt, pretty much every day, for the past seven months. I purchased the second one so that I could have both brown and black options. The belt has held up well to daily use and easily held the weight of a firearm in an iwb holster. The ratcheting buckle system is amazing also. With the 1/4 inch adjustability, it is easy to find a position that fits perfectly, and the ratcheting system is ridiculously easy to use and adjust throughout the day. I don't have any desire to go back to the normal "hole" system on other belts. I highly recommend these belts if you carry a firearm or other gear.
I am the director/Lead Instructor at Blue Ridge Marksmanship and recently tested out a Kore Essentials leather gun belt/ X3 buckle for just over 21 days. Since I carry a full size Smith and Wesson M&P as my EDC gun, carried at either AIWB or 3 o’clock IWB, I wanted a belt/buckle that ‘blended in’ and didn’t draw attention to the fact that I am carrying. It was subjected to an absurd test for a leather belt as it was worn 10-12 hours, almost every day, instructing firearms, in the rain, humid conditions, on the range, dropping trees, performing range maintenance AND at business meetings. The Kore Essentials belt performed unbelievably; always maintaining shape, constantly allowing a smooth/fast draw and the belt looked good enough to be worn with slacks to professional events at the end of the testing. This is one beast of a belt that can handle anything you throw at it and will come out looking new!
This belt changed my life, seriously!
I absolutely love this belt!. The inherent issue with a traditional gun belt with holes is one hole is a little too loose and the next a little tight. It starts to cut off circulation after a little while so you settle for too loose. That has its own set of issues, and this belt obviously solves all of these hands down. Being able to adjust it so finely while also looking like a traditional belt and not a "tactical" belt is the best thing that's ever happened to my daily concealed carry!
If you're looking for the most comfortable gun belt - this is it. The quarter inch adjustment ability is amazing, I wish i would have heard about Kore essential when they first came out. Sizing was super simple, supports IWB great and the quality is first class. Get yourself one.

Ordered a Kore gun belt on a Monday, got it on a Thursday (a couple of months ago). Cut it to the specs that they recommend. I have a full size gun (Springfield XDM 3.8 barrel, holds 19 1) and had been using an Old Navy belt. What a difference. The Kore belt is a bit stiff at first, but once you wear it a while, it starts to slide through the loops easily. It's plenty stiff and thick for wearing a holstered weapon in any location on your waist. My favorite part is definitely the buckle. I can now ACTUALLY fit my belt to my waist, firearm on it or not. I am saving up to buy the brown belt, so I can wear it with anything in my wardrobe, but I would HIGHLY recommend this belt to anyone in the gun community. Well done, Kore Trakline.
After several failed attempts to obtain a comfortable gun belt for EDC the Kore Essentials belt met all my expectations. The quality rigidity, comfort and price filled the bill. I would highly recommend this belt to anyone looking for one. Another feature that was really important was that being a big person the belt was plenty big and it allowed me to adjust it to my size with no problem.
I received my new KORE Trakline X2 Gun Buckle & Black Reinforced Belt today. I order this for my CCW weapon which is a Glock-36 (45acp) and I have to say this belt holds my OWB holster with gun & 2 spare mags perfectly! The belt is very comfortable and I really like how the trakline & ratcheting buckle system works. It's NO joke! You will get the perfect fit every time you put this belt on. :) Throw out your old style of belts that has the holes.. No more oh it's too tight or to loose. I can not see myself ever going back to a belt with holes for adjustments now that I have my new Kore Trakline Belt. It's a perfect fit every time I put it on. The quality of the leather is Top-Notch. This belt is amazing and I recommend it to everyone. Thank you Kore Essentials for Great Customer Service, Fast Shipping, and An Awesome Belt !
I have to say, that this is a great gun belt! i really like the X4 Buckle it is very nice and looks great! also have the X2 and that is a great buckle too you can not go wrong with either buckle. i have wore a gun belt for over 20 yrs and the Kore belt is by far the Best GUN Belt i have ever wore. For those who have wore a duty belt (a good Duty belt) you can now have that level of stability it a belt for off duty carry. i purchased the Tactical Gun Belt because I'm one size bigger than their leather belt but I'm so happy that i chose their Tactical belt, it is the one i choose over all the rest and i put my money were my mouth is. I have already bought 2 more (1 Tan 1 Black) so that i can have them ready for different load out options .Keep up the great work on these great products. also the Kore Bi-fold wallet is very nice as well.
Ended up purchasing both the leather and tactical Kore belts. Quality is top notch and the feel is even better. Firmly secures all items and no issues even with a full size handgun. The latching mechanism is great, true fit every time. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quality belt.
Excellent example of a great gun belt.I wear this Kore gun belt everyday. It is a awesome belt that is extremely sturdy and looks great. I have also gotten several compliments on the belt and buckle themselves, which is unusual in I have never gotten a compliment on a belt before. As far as carrying with my EDC it has been a pleasure. The only way someone knows I'm carrying is if I tell them or they notice the clip from my holster. The belt is very unassuming that way. I have not noticed any flex or wear marks and the ratchet system works every time. I now own 2 of these belts and would buy again.
Kore Belt:
Best casual gun belt on the market! I have used the brown and black Kore gun belt for about a month now. It is by far, the best casual gun belt on the market, in my opinion. I use mine to carry my duty weapon along with spare mags while attending court. I would definitely buy more of your products.
These Kore belts make excellent gun belts, much better than even the stiffest plain leather belts I have. Their resistance to sagging and twisting (due to the poly-core layer) allows them to hold the gun and holster more securely and closer to the body than other belts. However, my favorite feature is the Trak-Line adjustment system. The 1/4” adjustments (actually about 6mm, which is slightly less than 1/4”) means never again having to deal with a belt that is a bit too loose or a bit too tight. The belts are easily adjusted to perfect snugness regardless of the clothing worn. Whether summer or winter, jeans or shorts, dress shirts, flannel shirts, or T-shirts, tucked in, or not, these belts can be quickly and easily adjusted to be just right. The only improvement I can think of would be if they offered more styles of belts and buckles.
I love my Kore Essentials Trakline EDC belt. It’s been holding up to nearly six months of every single day use with an M&P9c and spare magazine. I love being able to adjust it at my leisure. Highly recommended. No problems at all.
The Kore gun belts are top notch. The buckling mechanism works extremely well and the leather is very high quality. This is my third belt from Kore - I wear them every day now, whether I am carrying or not and have started throwing out all of my old belts.
Kore Gun Belt exactly what I've been looking for
I recently visited my local gun show and was looking at a carry/conceal belt and was right on the verge of purchasing it. I'm very glad I didn't purchase the belt from the gun show. The Kore Trakline belt is far superior than any belt I've owned, and seen in person. My advice to anyone is to really consider Trakline before any other belt....you will NOT regret it!!
Best Gun/Everyday belt to date
Great - I have used many belts to carry sub-compact to compact firearms. This belt not only is extremely comfortable and holds up the weight with no issues, but it also looks great! The leather and multiple buckle options make this a great belt for everyday use. I can where it for EDC, casual wear, or wear it with my suit. Aside from the practical use and style - One of the main selling points here is the trak system. No more holes that stretch out and that can never seem to get the right fit. The trakline system allows for micro adjustments so that you can control the comfort from sitting, standing, long car rides, etc. I have recommended this belt to friends and family who have purchased this product and also love it. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who carries regularly or who just wants a stylish and inovative new look to replace thier old belts.
Thanks - glad to hear you like our KORE Gun Belts. See them here - www.KoreEssentials.com
Joel Lacoss is it still holding up. I just bought a bigfoot gun belt because I couldn’t find a ratcheting style leather belt.
Once you go ratchet, it’s hard to put on anything else.
I’ve gone through many gun belts and the Kore is the best I’ve found. You get perfect adjustments with the ratchet system. Thick and strong for zero movement when heavily weighted. No more pain in the a$$ cobra buckles, loud Velcro in public bathrooms, or belts with adjusting holes that are either a tad tighter or looser, this is the only belt I’ll buy. Had the leather Kore belt for years and it has held up great. This new tactical version is even stronger!
Love my Kore belt and I haven't taken it off since it came in the mail. I have tried several other gun belts and none had the strength to withstand my carry gun and the two mag carriers that accompany it while giving me this level of comfort and easy of use. But the Kore ratcheting system works superbly and the craftsmanship in the belts construction is fantastic. Whether I'm wearing my carry gun or not this is the only belt I reach for every morning. This belt for anyone who is having trouble finding a strong, durable carry belt that still looks and feels great. It's a 10 outta 10 !
I've ran through TONS of belts in my life. This by far is the best belt I've ever had. It does what it's meant to do, it hold up gun/extra mag and my pants up. Very comfortable and very "fashionable" belt. I will definitely recommend this belt to friends and relatives. Going to give it a 2-3 month run and do a review on my CZcams channel to show how it hold up after some months. Thanks Kore Essentials!
I now own 2 Kore gun belts. The first is the X3 leather belt that I've had for over a year and it has held up wonderfully. I wear it to work every day and it has not worn or shown any sign of wear yet. The second I recently bought is the X4 stainless steel buckle and tan tactical belt. Wow! I have a couple of other belts from other manufacturers and these are better by far. First of all, it is stiff enough to hold my Glock 21 and 2 extra mags with absolutely no sag or buckling in the belt. It holds up perfectly and distributes the weight quite well. The best part about this belt though is the ratcheting system. No more having to lift up my shirt, undo Velcro and pull on a buckle that doesn’t give. This ratcheting system is pure genius. I can make those after meal adjustments with one hand and do so just a little bit at a time. So, if you are looking for a great, comfortable, easy adjustable gun belt I highly recommend these Kore gun belts.
The Kore Essentials is my first purpose built carry belt and I'm very impressed. I wanted something that I could wear with regular clothes that wasn't an inch thick "tactical" looking belt. This is the perfect solution. It's easy to use and adjust quickly, thin but very supportive (I EDC a CZ P01... not a light firearm) and I can wear it with casual or dress clothing without it looking out of place. Most of all, I like not having to play a guessing game as to which size belt to buy you go through with standard buckle belts. I recommended this to a family member and he loves it as well. I will absolutely buy this again.
I got a Kore gun belt and it's the best all purpose belt ever. I love how easy it is to micro adjust during the day or even while sitting in the car or at a big dinner. Way better than belt holes. The inner core has more than enough integrity to hold up anything I’ve thought to test it with. The only thing I would recommend is don't fold the belt over, instead hang the belt using their belt hanger or coil it. Re-tightening the belt is as simple as pushing the cinching side into the buckle ratchet which can be done upon standing up and after re-tucking in ones shirt. One unexpected benefit of my new belt is that if I leave it on a pair of work pants it makes them easy to hang up on a hook the night before but also put on in the morning as the belt holds the pants in shape to easily step into.
I can't believe I waited so long to buy a Kore belt. This belt works for IWB and OWB holsters. Everything from 1911s to my Glock 43. Perfect fit and no sagging! Rigid but comfortable. I wear it every day!
I have to say there is nothing more comfortable or convenient than my Kore gun belt. I came across them about a year ago while looking for an edc belt that was comfortable and rigid. I liked it so much I bought them as Christmas gifts for my father and my brother. They love them too! In fact everyone of us still use these belts on a daily basis. I just recently purchased the nylon belt (my original purchase was leather) and it's even more rigid than the leather. I love the versatility of the system too. I was able to use the buckle I already have from my previous leather Kore belt and only had to purchase the nylon portion. I carry virtually every day so I prefer having the extra rigid capability of the nylon that can support my gear. I would never buy another belt from anywhere else.
That Kore Trackilne gun belt is a great belt. I'll never buy a regular gun belt again. It looks like a normal belt, but will always fit your waist perfectly! I use it to carry IWB and there are times when I need to loosen or tighten. This allows you do it it quickly and inconspicuously. A truly great belt!
I've been a fan of the Wilderness frequent flyer belts myself. When I started carrying a gun, I gave no thought to the belt and used the really flimsy leather stuff. Then I broke down and got a Wilderness. I started off with a 1 1/4" wide belt, because that was the width of the leather belts I'd been using. That worked pretty well for a lot of years, but switching up to a 1 1/2" was a big help. This belt uses a dual-ring style "buckle" and velcro to secure the tag end. Micro adjustments are easy, you can tension or relax the belt as needed. It's not as quick to undo as a cobra - but not being in the adult film industry, nor do I have medical conditions that have me frequenting a toilet - I don't have to undo my pants but a couple times a day usually so quick release isn't a huge thing.
The belt that you stated you hated looks an awful lot like an SOE, though I thought the SOE belt has less tag material that holds the cobra on? Maybe a knock off?
I've been wearing my X3 for roughly two months now, and so far it has been very sturdy, and I've had no problems carrying and drawing my P320 subcompact with it. Very pleased! Also, I ordered the belt Friday and received it Monday, so the shipping was fantastic.
I have a kore gun belt and I can honestly say it's awesome for edc! Way better than the cheap flimsy ratchet belts. It's a solid gun belt to hold your holster safely and it looks good too! The micro adjustments you can make are just perfect. The only “issue” would be its pretty hard to clamp the buckle in place once it is cut to size. The instructions seemed to indicate you could do it with your hands but I needed tools. It worked without issues but I worried about breaking the buckle. All in all this is one fantastic gun belt!!
I've been wearing the Kore trakline gun belt for about a month now, and it's awesome. It is very comfortable and I love how adjustable it is. I don't know about you, but I start out the day a little on the heavy side, and end the day a little thinner, so having a belt that I can make just a tiny bit tighter throughout the day is great. There is also no visible wear to the belt, even where my gun sits and no sign of damage to the leather from the metal clip of my holster. If you are looking for a comfortable and durable CCW belt, look no further.
KORE is an Excellent Gun Belt
Initially apprehensive, after the first week I'm impressed with the quality, looks and function of this Kore gun belt. The firm insert gives it comparative slimness versus that thick leather Cop Belt look. The full adjustability on the fly function makes it easy to go from a walking, snug, fit to a looser seated tension without wearing it high gut like a duty belt. Even with small IWB there is no chance of holster flip and can be worn as a normal belt as long as you can deal with the Hulla Hoop effect when you drop your drawers. Call it good to go. I'm sold and would consider additional purchases.
Now that Kore Essentials has gotten into making tactical nylon gun belts they are probably at or near the top of the game in today's market
I just got my Snake Eater belt you recommended and it's good to go all day everyday. Thanks for your advice
+Driftwood Dan Nice, glad it's working out well for you!
Just bought my 4th Kore gun belt ! Thats 2 tactical and 2 leather gun belts and they work awesome. A lot easier that to adjust than other belts I've had. I like it because if I am wearing a firearm, I dont need as much slack and can remove it easily. If I add a tool or firearm to my belt, it takes two seconds to put these on. They are great products and great quality!
I love my kore belt its awesome!! This is my second one but I must admit that I did buy another gun belt from another place and let me tell you that the belt was a POS. No one comes close to the fit,feel and comfort. I’m a big guy 350lb. Kore Essentials will always get my business.
I have 5 gun belts from Kore essentials. I have 3 leather belts (different buckles, black and brown) and both tactical belts (black and tan). They’re great! Better than other “track lock” type belts and the only track gun belts I know of.
This Kore belt is awesome! I recently purchased a gun belt from Aliengear and it was a great, supportive belt but way too bulky. This Kore belt is very supportive with my IWB holster and full size Springfield. This belt is stylish, and very minimal in bulkiness.
I own 2 Kore gun belts and they're great. My brown leather one's is 2-3 years old and there is barely any wear or tear only small scrapes from removing my holster, I suspect this would be the same any other belt. I love that my existing buckle works with my new tactical belt, I would recommend these belts to any gun owner looking for a good, sturdy gun belt to carry.
The Kore Essentials Trakline belt is awesome when going with a non-tactical look. It's my absolute favorite belt now. A million times better than a traditional CC leather gun belt. Being able to make these micro adjustments makes carrying so much more comfortable. If I’m in the car for a while, or sitting in a theater, I can let out a couple clicks. When I stand up and am walking around I can take it in a couple clicks. It’s rigid, and holds everything in place. It couldn’t be any better in my opinion.
Dandyboy19 how is it holding up?
This is the best gun belt ever, I just wished I purchased this belt a long time ago. I have been wearing dress belts that were made to carry a gun. But this kore belt is by far the best one I have ever put on. I'm planning on purchasing the belt in brown soon.
That Kore belt looked good for dress wear. I work on occasion when I have to be in dress clothes & rarely can carry effectively with a standard dress belt. Good catch.
It does provide an easy option for storing thw belt with buckle.
The belt and buckle combined are a great addition to my everyday carry. The belt supports my Sig Sauer P320 full size with a magazine that contains 21 cartridges. No sag and EXTREMELY EASY TO ADJUSTI have been using it for 3 weeks now and find it does everything the website ststes it will do. I wouldlike to see a heavier version also . I am ordering one in black today too.
Thanks for the vid. When I was looking for gun belts in my local gun shop, most of them look ridiculous. So I bought the Kore ratchet gun belt and, it's the best belt I've ever owned. It's incredible 👍👍
In my opinion Kore makes a great gun belt. I bought it for concealed carry because I wanted something more casual. I had other gun belts but the Kore surpasses them in comfort, ease and coolness. The ratchet system is great, Offers comfort and versatility. This is now my go-to gun belt I've been wearing this everyday. I also have a weird nickle / metal allergy with some metal buckles but this doesn't irritate me at all. Would buy again.
Just bought the snake eater tactical belt. I used your linq thanks for all your great reviews. Im currently using your holster and i have been for the last year its awesome! I cant wait for my belt!
KORE is a LEGIT Gun belt fit to my business attire style
I've been longing for a legit gun belt that will blend properly and discreetly into my everyday business attire as an Insurance Professional and as the President CEO of my startup company as my cobra belt is the only one that will properly hold my firearm but wouldnt cut it for my business attire style of clothing and it just screams "I HAVE A GUN!!!". Finally i found the Kore Trakline gun belt! Now no one will suspect what i have in there. The less hints for onlookers, the better. Bad guys most probably think im just a nerdy/tech savvy in business attire easy prey of the day until I introduce them to my .40sw hallow points :)
The Kore belt is awesome!
Have only gotten the opportunity to use this belt for about 4 weeks now but it has been great. The buckle mounts up great (That thing isn’t going anywhere). The size options are literally limitless with this thing. Nice stiffness to support my carry weapon and mag but still supple enough to be comfortable. Only problem is now I want all of the buckle options
For the money Kore makes the best belts and I absolutely love mine. Fits perfect. Very well constructed.
Great video brother! Thanks for the shout out!
+Snake Eater Tactical Thanks for making a great product!
What belt model is the Snakeeater belt, how does sizing work?
Last Line Of Defense when you purchased the wolf gray belt is that buckle the color that comes with it? What Is the name of the color for the buckle?
I bought your product because of this video
Snake Eater Tactical
I actually own 4 Kore belts. I wont buy another from any other
manufacturer. I have two dress belts (non-gun) and two of their edc gun belts.
The gun belts hold my full size duty arm just right. No sagging or warping from
the weight. I am 5'11" and 250 lbs. The levers and release are strong!!!
So as you can tell, I highly recommend them! Even my father and father
in-law are now hooked since I gifted them one last Christmas.
I love my Kore Essentials belts! I've been wearing the X1 black ccw version for about a year and a half, almost everyday with jeans and with dress clothes. The leather is in excellent shape, but I decided to replace the buckle as it had a few scratches from normal wear and tear. The new buckle made the entire belt feel like brand new. And, I don't know if they have changed how they make the buckles, but it feels even more high quality than the original buckle I had. Highly recommend Kore belts !
Don't forget that G-Code EDC belt. It has a similar buckle to the 5.11 but it is made of steel. The belt itself is super rigid and sturdy. I ordered one on Black Friday 2017 and have been wearing it since. It is a great belt. Holds my G19 in an Incog Eclipse like a charm.
Used the Kore Trackline belt daily over last few weeks. It works perfectly. The
trakline's ability to adjust in 1/4in increments is perfect for keeping a
CCW close to the body without printing, as well as, provide a perfect
fit with or without carrying. Highly recommend and will purchase another
color belt soon.
Have several "gun" belts that hang in my closet after picking up my first "dress" gun belt by Kore. In black of course.
A week later, got a black canvas style Kore and brown "dress" Kore belt.
So comfortable and easy to adjust.
Wear noth else.
They are more discreet that the tactical looking belts you feature in the first half....
More gray man...
I bought this Kore gun belt to carry my Glock 19 with but it obviously does very well with my Kahr also. I have been wearing it to work also just on a normal day where i can't carry. It's a very comfortable belt, that sizes perfectly to your waist.
KORE TRACKLINE GUN BELTS LOOK GOOD & WORK GREAT, THE BELT IS VERY WELL MADE, FROM THE BUCKLE BEING OVER BUILT, TO THE RIGIDITY OF THE BELT ITSELF. GLOCK 19 OWB '' NO PROBLEM '' THIS IS THE BEST GUN BELT I HAVE EVER OWNED. THANKS, KORE / TRACKLINE !!!!
For folks on a budget, I use a Realtree belt from the hunting section at Walmart. One side is brown (which I use) other side camo. Super stiff and works excellent for appendix carry. 12 bucks. Not sexy and not tactical looking. Just looks like a regular belt
+JerkyTreat Cheap options that work are excellent options!
I wear an SOE EDC belt daily off duty, which holds my EDC (Sig P320, 2 mags, and a TLR-1) very nice. I just bought 2 Kore belts in brown and black for when I have to go to court(I'm a deputy) and church,ect. great video's Mike!
Agree Kore is the best for everyday concealed carry or appendix carry!
I've been looking at the ratcheting type. They have a nylon, reinforced version. Good to hear you like the basic concept.
Best belt ever!!
Bought X1 Kore gun belt. As a gun belt it's awesome and as a regular belt it's awesome. Why do I say awesome so much about this belt. Because whether you need to use for varied size IWB concealed weapon, or you just ate more than usual at dinner time, being able to adjust it 1/4" at a time and always have a perfect fitting belt every frick'n time.... Awesome !!!
There are more 5.11 belts out there that are better than the inexpensive one you showcased, the Metal Buckle tac belts are rigid and thicker and I've had mine for 4 years and it barely has any wear on it. I use it almost every day with no issues, it comes in multiple colors and width's 1.5 and 1.75. It tightens well and fits snugly into my LAPG Urban OPs pants with the rest of my EDC which is Sig Sauer P320F, 2 extra Mags, Knife, Multi-tool, Stun-Gun Flash light combo, collapsible Baton, Lighter, handcuffs, keys, phone, wallet and braided length of paracord.
I went with the Snake Eater Tactical Cobra Riggers belt Diamondback 1.5". I'm liking the new no Velcro (tends to wear out over time) design and they are perfect from what I hear from others. Just hope I measured correctly, should be showing up this week!! Thanks man, also might have to finally get around to ordering a holster from you!
+Jordan Pizinger Awesome man, let me know how you like it!
+Last Line Of Defense I got mine in and it's the Best belt I own. It has everything I was looking for! I got a coyote brown with black Diamondback stitching. Love the elastic keeper and no velcro, also the 1.5 inch cobra buckle.
Cool video! for iwb carry, I use the 5.11 dropshot for its slim buckle - very comfortable carry! for my specs. the only downside is that you can not do any emergency rappel which for me is a must but the concealment/comfort-ability is amazing.
I bought a Bison Designs Last Chance Heavy Duty belt and am absolutely loving it.
It's very hard for me to wear anything else due to the comfort and adjust-ability. You should check them out if you get a chance.
That Kore belt is interesting though - I may have to look into that for more formal occasions.
+Glenn Frank Yeah, definitely a good belt if you're looking for that more traditional or modern leather look.
Had my KORES belt for 2 year and its faaantastic. Way betta than my old gun belt.
KORE Reinforced Gun Belt
The Kore Trakline gun belt is a good compromise between a true competitor belt and a dress/casual belt. Every day I openly carry a SW MP 9mm, 5 inch barrel, with 3 spare mags (65 rounds). The Kore belt allows me to comfortably carry. I feel this is due to the stiffness of the belt, its ~1/4" thickness, and its 1/4 inch adjustment. It is stiff enough to support my EDC, but is not so stiff or thick that it is difficult to use with either of my Safariland belt slide attachments. On the range, I wear suspenders. My suspenders attach as easily to this belt as to my thinner previous belt. I carry in a Safariland 7TS ALS holster with Guard and QLS. With the Kore belt, my holstered pistol is more secure during running or other strenuous motion. Quality and construction are good. I wear the belt to work, church, and the range. Sizing was easy. Good value and quick shipping.
Hi. I'm new to the gun world and trying to learn as much as I can. I was wondering why you carry three spare mags? Thank you.
Super Bio Urethane gun belts are under 50 bucks.. have a traditional heavy duty stainless buckle, are stiff, and will literally last you a lifetime.. I did the Cobra and Riggers belt thing for about three years and found that they have some significant shortcomings as gun/edc belts.. One think i began to find exhausting is feeling like your a 1960's beat cop donning his duty rig everytime you get dressed in the morning.. Just too much crap to deal with.. I love my Glocks but until i can get a 43 i dont think anything can break up the love affair im having with my lloz Smith M342 Air Lite Ti J frame in 38 special.. Im in coastal GA at the moment but when i move back North i think i would carry a G27 outside the wasteband on that SuperBio belt.. Liger belt is the same material but i did not like the buckle system..
I like your video's because you seem genuine and your easy to listen to and dont get preachy... Just a normal fucking person with good infomation to pass along.. I sub'ed.
The Kore belt is awesome. It was easy to cut to length with the ruler marks printed on the belt that makes it a breeze. The adjustablity is outstanding. I would buy this belt just as a normal belt, without the reinforced core. Where has this belt been? My holster stays put and comfortable. The only thing you have to worry about is when you are securing those teeth- they are sharp. Lol
great video Mike, thanks. your videos are usually exactly what I am looking for in terms of research on what gear I am in the market for.
Wilderness tactical frequent flyer is metal detector friendly and is rigid enough for a gun belt...its my personal favorite edc belt, even though I own an ares gear cobra buckle belt, a 5.11 instructor belt, and a milt sparks leather gun belt.
1.5 inch cobra belt is my favorite as well. Great video!
+Michael Young Thanks!
Kore Gun Belts are Fantastic
Two belts, three buckles, zero problems. Kore Belts are strong enough for EDC and you wont look like a whacko wearing a velcro nylon "gun belt." I even wear them almost daily as a dress belt for work even when not carrying. It's the ultimate definition of the word "concealed."
I run a 5.11 with the cobra buckle. Has the riggers loop. I like that for when I need my keys handy.
Sold me on the Kore Belt. good multiuse with casual and business attire. thx :)
I have the Kore track belt. It handles all of my concealed carry choices. I can't always wear a tactical belt and this belt has been pretty much my go to belt since I got it. I enjoy your videos. Curious about your background? I'm a former LEO and combat vet.
+Robert Bluni Thanks for your service! No interesting background here, just a regular guy that developed a passion for guns, preparedness, self defense, etc. That interest came when I was a little older and more established in life than joining the military lended itself to. Were I to go back in time, I probably would have served. My dad was in the army for 27 years though, and the frequent moving turned me off to it when I was younger.
+Last Line Of Defense Cool information. I'm on the same boat as you, but my dad was in the air force for 24 years. Are you half asian, maybe korean? You look like me lol
I actually use the 5.11 for my carry. I carry an LC9 or LCR with it and it has never seemed to sag. Actually I kinda like some of the flexibility that comes with it. The 5.11 was also able to obtain easier than others. I will however check into the leather one and the Snake Eaters belt.
I like that Kore belt
+Brudda K It's a nice belt for sure
Ok not a bad video on gun belts, and from the belts you shown I'm sure I would never buy any of them you pretty much showed me the reasons why they wouldn't be good belts. Please do a video on kore essentials the best belt for the money doesn't flex like the one you showed, the ratchet style is better than what ever that was, plus it looks damn good from wearing a suit to jeans and a t shirt rather than looking like I'm going to war keep up the good work
The Kore Essentials belt is literally in this very video.
Tru-Spec 24/7 is where it's at!!!
Very informative thanks for the video. I will be looking in to the cobra belt. I currently am using a 5.11 instructor belt for hot Miami appendix carry. I like your concept of setting the buckle off to the side. I will give it a try.
+bmike679 Yeah, I find it helps a lot, more on some pants than others.
Good video man! Very informative! I only use cobra buckle rigid 1.5" belts now.
+TactiCalifornia Thanks, I love the 1.5" cobras!
Thanks for the info, been carrying a while and this is an area that needs more attention by me and I assume others also. Had always just gravitated to the heavier leather belts in the closet or the store but I can see the tactical help these offer and like the KORE Belt you can where it for both Dress Casual and or just when you need a solid carry belt!
+Douglas Still Yup, it's a great time to be into concealed carry, as there are a ton of really great options out there!
You need to try out the Kore Essentials nylon belt now, they're amazing for EDC and daily wear. Say no to floppy nylon belts these Kore nylons are rigid and amazing.
I hate rigid belts
for a couple dollars more you can get the 5.11 belt that has the same concept as that flimsy one in the video still has the plastic buckle but is twice as stiff. I got mine at Gander Mountain for $24
+Schwaller I think that's the same one as this, because I actually got this one at Gander Mountain for that price, too! Haha, but maybe it's different.
Right on
You've been putting some good videos out recently! keep it up!
Great vids bro. Just ordered my Cobra belt. Plan on also trying out the Kore belt for those more formal occasions!
+Jason Silos Nice!
+Last Line Of Defense if possible would love to see a video with what you use to keep your daily carry clean, how often you clean.
I know this is an older video but I wanted to leave this here Mike because I know some people might find the information useful. I LOVE the snake eater tactical belt you reviewed a long time ago too, but man I gotta say this Kore belt is truly amazing compared to anything else IMO.:
I have both the Kore 2.0 version X1 and X5 Leather and Nylon tactical belts and MAN I will never go back to a cobra buckle belt or any
other “gun” belt. Even Nexbelts, I own a few of those and they’re good, but they’re nowhere near the quality of the new Kore 2.0 belts! For those that don't know, there are two major track style gun belt brands out there... Kore and Nexbelt. Kore was the first
to come to market with the track style gun belts and soon after Nexbelt appeared. Well at that time, Nexbelt's pricing was much cheaper, so I decided to stick with them. But now the Nexbelt pricing has surpassed the Kore pricing, but the quality has not. When
I got my first Kore gun belt I was BLOWN AWAY by the subtle differences. The small attention to detail with Kore like the rounded edges of the belt, the proprietary inner core which helps keep the belt rigid and hugs close to your body. The Kore buckles are
also superior quality; you can easily with one hand release the buckle when it’s at max tension; near impossible to do one handed. The build quality is top notch, & though the design is similar, the ‘manufacturing’ is on another level. The ONLY thing I wish,
is that Kore had more colors! ALL my Nexbelt’s dig into my hips no matter where I position my belt & it creates a sore along my midsection. The Kore belt does NOT have this problem! It's nice n smooth against your midsection and somehow it does NOT cut into
your side especially if you're on the heavier side (with love handles). It's a 10/10 for me.
Two belts, three buckles, zero problems. Kore Belts are strong enough for EDC and you wont look like a whacko wearing a velcro nylon "gun belt." I even wear them almost daily as a dress belt for work even when not carrying. It's the ultimate definition of the word "concealed."
I wear the SOE EDC nylon black on black Cobra Buckle and other color combinations can be ordered. This is not a belt of one size fits all ! READ the info. The SOE EDC belt holds my 5.11 Tact pant up and is a basic part of my EDC ! The knife/cell phone pocket fits the deep in the pocket SOG Trident in TiNi black that has a seatbelt cutter and the knife does not need to be open to be useful. Also the knife is set up for left hand use. The right front pocket fits the Fenix PD32 that uses two CR123 or one 18650 batteries that is great for collecting DNA samples. Thank you for the video ! tjl
Nice to see you young guys taking on the fight!
Awesome video! I use an SOE belt w/ cobra buckle. I'll check out the ones you mentioned!
+Florida Prepper Thanks! SOE makes a solid product - the tan cobra belt in this vid is an SOE actually.
+Last Line Of Defense - Are you sure that's not an Ares Gear belt? I have one identical, as well as the SOE belt. The SOE has the velcro, yet the Ares has the elastic loops.
Wilderness instructor 5 stitch would be another great option
I have been using a daltech force double stitched bull belt and really like it but have an soe 1.5 cobra belt much like that snake eater on order just for another option
Thanks good vid on belts. I just got my cobra 1.5 riggers w/velcro belt w/cobra buckle. Guess this works for some but not for me the belt is hard was at a meeting and bent to the side and the mag came out from pressure on the kydex holster. So got one for sale. haha
Squats or suspenders your choice.
Two belts I want to try out, the Mean Gene and frank proctors
+Willy Pitty Yeah, i want to try the proctor belt as well!
