4 years and Kore belt is still going strong! I bought my Kore belt summer of 2018 needing something sturdy enough to support a daily carry gun, good looking enough to be worn with a variety of different outfits and rugged enough to last more than a few months….All I can say is WOW. This belt has traveled with me across the globe, has been worn carrying at home, working in Qatar keeping my a$$ crack concealed and keeping my work pants up. And complimenting a pearl snap during a night out in Singapore. The finish on the buckle has worn slightly and the belt has molded to my hips a little but four years later it’s still going strong, ratcheting into place and supporting whatever I throw at it. I remember the first day I opened it up thinking “damn I hope this buckle holds on with this clamp and two set screws” and lemme tell ya. Hasn’t moved IN FOUR YEARS. This could very well be the best belt I’ve ever owned and I’m ready to buy a second color I think having withstood the test of time. If you’re on the fence, don’t think twice about this. I’ve gotten more than my moneys worth out of it. Thanks goes to Kore for making a great product.
Kore's NEW 2.0 Gun Belt is fantastic. I had one of their original gun belts for several years and due to the size of my gut and the fact that I ran more gear on it that it was rated for I had issues with the buckle "chewing up the belt" . The customer service at Kore was exceptional and sent me a replacement belt. During this time they were developing a 2.0 version of the buckle that completely solved the issues I was having. I've been wearing this newer version daily for almost 2 months and it has been flawless even with my full load of gear ( G17, 2 extra full size mags, knife, cell phone, keys). I have to say the quality of the new buckle, the belt and Kore Essentials customer service have been exemplary.
These Kore holster belts are absolutely the best. I've carried concealed for 15 years and this is, by far, the most comfortable and convenient gun belt I've ever owned (having gone through more than 10 belts in a variety of materials). I've worn it daily for over a month. I was so impressed that I bought another one for me and one for my brother.
I have 3 Kore gun belts and they're awesome. They are very sturdy for everyday carry. Look and feel like a very high dollar belt. I usually wear IWB and some times have to tuck my shirt in. With these belts you can’t even tell that you are carrying. They keep your gun snug against your body (with the proper holster). And no sagging! I’m also an industrial mechanic and I use one as my work belt everyday to carry a flashlight, radio, small tool pouch. The belt is holding up excellent!!!
I saw many RUclips Kore belt reviews including your comments and they convinced me this could be THE belt to hold up more than my trousers. I opted for the tactical reinforced belt model as my EDC (gun/spare mag/flashlight) belt. Lots of weight and I didn't want things falling down as with other brands/material. The Kore tactical model is a very stiff ridged belt. The hook/loop belt loop provided is needed to capture the end of belt otherwise it sticks out. I found that OWB and paddle holsters affect the amount of belt needed differently. An IWB holsters probably even more length would be needed. If you are a first time buyer of any Kore products be sure to use the discount code. If you don't have it contact Kore product support. Unless you are in desperate need use the lowest cost shipping and save $$$. I ordered mine on Monday afternoon and was delivered in TX by Friday noon. You got my thumbs up.
This is a great belt, looks and feels great. Perfect adjustments and strong enough to support my full sized 1911 without any sagging. Looks like a regular fancy belt too. Absolutely worth the money and the belts and buckles are interchangable.
Thanks for sharing your experience with these belts. Just ordered 2 of the tactical belts . One for carry after work & one for HVAC technician work in attics, crawlspaces, & in out of back of my work truck 5 days a week. I've been wearing out leather hole belts for years rather quickly. Can't wait to try these belts & throw away my old pile of work belts.
I’ve got the Kore Essentials Tracline belt I love this thing it really helps support the gun and the ability the adjust the belt so quickly and with such ease is just awesome.
I’m in love with my Kore belts. It’s been six months and they still look like new. Even wore mine as a harness down a zipline 😂 (that’s not recommended)
I have a Kore gun belt and it looks great, feels great, and best of all, functions amazingly with all my EDC gear and with none of the added bulk other types of belts, be it with holes or cobra buckles. I love how it is easy to adjust and the style of it. There can always be improvements to anything but it is hard to find ways to do it for this in this capacity. Overall its a great product!
I've been wearing a black one pretty much every day, including at work for the last year and a half, and its still as good as new. Just recently got a brown one.
I've been a Peace Officer for over 25 years now and in my opinion kore makes the best gun belt I've ever owned. I had watch a lot of different videos on gun belts and read many reviews. To be honest, the videos and reviews don’t do justice to this product. Unbelievable quality.
For me its a solid belt that takes a beating. I wear mine everyday and I am very active in facilities operations. I hang multiple items on the belt and it holds it all in place. Day after day of use and abuse, this belt has held up a lot better than any belt I’ve purchased before.
I just bought my 3rd Kore belt with the black mutlit cam color. Very cool looking and stiff. My other kores belts are 5 years old so it was time for a refresh. They work great but had some scuffs. Highly recommend.
Nolan is right Kore belts are awesome gun and gear belts in my experience. I have a black leather that's over 2 years old and looks great still and a tan tactical about a year old and like new. I won't wear any other gun belt when carrying my glock. Because other can say what they want, but for me you cant beat the track for adjusting it to your exact size and the quality of these belts is aces. My rig is very secure and thats whats important.
Guys the belts in this video are their old old models.The new models use 2 screws to secure the belt to the buckle and the belts themselves have their new power core center that they say is unbreakable. I am a believer because the 2 that I bought back in late 2019 are still my daily wear goto belts supporting my sig tier 1 rig iwb. I have had a lot of belts over my law enforcement career and these are the best I have found so far.
I have one and even when I am not carrying a gun, this is my go to belt. So much so, I trashed my flemsy leather belt I was using. Will stick with Kore belts from now on
As far as I am concerned Kore makes the perfect gun belt. I have the leather version and it appears to be very well made and well suited to the task I purchased it for. It's good looking and the minor adjustments create a perfect fit. The belt is very heavy but suppose that is the nature of this type belt with the extra stiffening core. I'm a big strong guy and had a difficult time installing the buckle. I did it three times trying to get the belt perfectly in line with buckle. I will probably purchase a Kore canvas belt as well now that I know how well they work.
I have the same 2 belts wearing the brown one each and every day and have to say an absolute excellent value. Nicks in mine from we’re my holster clicks on and the same attic, crawl space , trenching (electrical contractor stuff) and mine is functioning perfectly
I've had the tactical and dress belts for about 2 years now. One tip - don't bend the tail back a bunch to get it into the loop that will be holding it, follow through around your waist. My tactical belt developed a permanent bend and a little bump in the track from wrenching the tail back. Still works fine, though.
My Kore gun belts are without a doubt the best I've ever worn. I have 3 of them and they're consistently a fantastic product. Tough, durable, reliable. Flexible around the waist and rigid under weight regardless of the pistol carried. You'd be hard pressed to do better than a Kore gun belt.
picked up the new kore ratcheting battle belt and its super nice you can adjust this belt just like their ccw belts. Dont know any other battle belt that does that. Its a big deal when you change your load and need to readjust and hate fiddling with the cobra buckles.
My 2 cents: Excellent belt. Still looks like new leather, and is still very rigid after five years of use. Love the adjustments. Just ordered another in black Tac. My only complaint; I like an aged looking leather belt, and the one I have will never do that. I don't know why. I wish they would make one that looked like old worn leather. The dress leather belt look is not always what I want, but...excellent belt.
I see it's been a year since you posted... I'm currently looking for a belt and Kore Belts now sell the black buffalo leather which looks more worn with the matt finish that you might like.
I use the reinforced Kore belt and its by far the best belt I have ever wore. I work on bulldozer and heavy equipment this belt holds up well in mud rock dirt and crawling in it! I would say I'm over satisfied, and the track makes it fit perfect!
I like mine, but it is very bulky looking for appendix carry. It must be positioned in the front for me, for tucked-in shirts: of which I do often. Loosening the shirt to flare out a little helps; but is bulky nonetheless. It is not ideal for decent-looking shirts/form fitting. Try it out. You get time to wear it and return if you don’t like it. You won’t know for sure until you try it. 🙂👍🏼
Been using a bladetech belt for 2 years. Wear it every day as a carry belt and keeping my pants up even when I am not carrying (can't carry in the office) .. absolutely no signs of any wear..
Purchased two of these belts with X3 buckles and the belt hanger about 6 months ago. They're attractive enough and well made for the price, the largest benefit of this option over others being the reduced bulk in the buckle area, which is why I originally went to try these out. My biggest issue is that the reinforced core does not extend all the way around the belt: the 10" length with the notches is not reinforced, which is a critical area for carrying a gun, particularly for AIWB carry. Aside from that these are decent belts for the money, just not if you're carrying a 30oz gun or probably any gun, so points are lost on the "Gun Belt" side of things. The other downsides are that the buckle pinches and is not comfortable if it is shifted to an off center of your body, the primary pinch point being at my hip bones. Lastly, the edges will dent where the weight of the buckle rests and where the clips of your holster ride, which is not a huge deal but might be an issue if you plan to use this as a double-duty gun belt and a formal belt. The tactical belt line is different in that they extended the reinforced section on those, but until they update the leather belts that way it's not worth it. I've found myself going back to my traditional study 1.5" leather belt from Hank's Belts for both comfort and effectiveness. Summary: not worth it if you are carrying anything larger than a subcompact pistol. Pretty solid if you're looking for a sturdy belt that you don't plan on strapping a gun onto.
Gabriel - we have tens of thousands of customers that carry with our KORE leather and tactical gun belts every day and swear by them. Our new 2.0 version is beefier and very heavy duty. But like we state, KORE belts are made for small to medium weight firearms so you can wear them comfortably all day. They are not battle belts. Thanks.
10:04 ....I have to ask about the Bravo Conceal Carry OWB with the Pancake Loops..... for years I've been eyeballing that. I STRICTLY carry IWB. But is Bravo as close to the body as they say? What about printing? We're in Chicago, so it's a big deal. Thanks. Great video.
I like mine, but it is very bulky looking for appendix carry. It must be positioned in the front for me, for tucked-in shirts: of which I do often. Loosening the shirt to flare out a little helps; but is bulky nonetheless. It is not ideal for decent-looking shirts/form fitting.
I've looked these belts up on Amazon and they are both advertised as "Non Gun Belt" so I was curious how these 2 specifically stacked up against their nylon riggers version that specifically says it IS a gun belt..
Go to the KORE Essentials website directly. They have two sections on belts split between, "fashion belts," and, "EDC belts." Their EDC belts still do come in different weight carrying ratings from 4lbs for the 1.5" standard leather belts to 8lbs for the full nylon/polymer styles.
I found the quality and fit of my KoreEssentials belt is awesome. The buckle is sturdy and looks great. The leather looks and feels great too. All in all I feel like it's a great product at a reasonable price. I have the brown and black leather belts with the X1 and X2 buckles. I recommend them to friends.
I bought the nylon one two weeks ago, it’s not that great. It is indeed sturdy and will hold ur gun, but the material starts separating from the inner layer within like a week with normal outside heat. So now it curls awfully and is a pain to put on. The buckle is perfect, kinda hard to put the end in, but yeah the main thing is the material just seems to be applied with decent stitching but really shitty glue.
I am getting both, I will wear tactical for all but dress. I wear my current 511 tac belt with shorts, since I wear my polo outside no one see the belt anyway if I had to pick one, it would be the tactical
I had mine for over a year and love it, until it broke in half, I need to order another one! The buckle held up well so for, just normal finish wear. The belt is worth $30 a year as far as I am concerned.
Have you inspected the belt construction to see if it’s actually full leather? Not just base it on what the company or markings indicate? Actually use the piece you cut off and dissect it. There’s several reviews claiming it’s not full grain leather.
NO - our standard leather gun belts are made using 2 pieces of Top Grain Leather just like our webstite states. The belts in this video are the Top Grain. We also offer a Full Grain Leather western belts but these belts. Thanks.
If you think this belt is just like 'normal' belt you're sleeping at the wheel, never tried one or dont carry. These 'normal' belts are vertically stiff and zip'n lock at your exact size which is especially key if you have a gun hanging from your belt.
mine was in the trash by 9 months. the buckle keeps ripping off the belt and i kept having to cut another half inch off the belt every time it did. waste of my money and completely unreliable when this puts you in really awkward situations when the belt just comes apart with no warning and you are holding up your pants and gun until you can cut the belt and reattach the buckle again. after 3 cuts I gave up and bought something else to try because sooner or later the belt will not be long enough.
@@Koreessentialsbrand So a year after the upgrade, you sent me an older model of the belt?! I posted this 10 months ago, 9 months after I bought the belt which means the newer model was out a year and a half before I purchased it...If you realized this was a problem and made a change to fix it, you shouldn't have been sending out the old model knowing this would be a problem. Unfortunately, I will never trust your company again.
@@Koreessentialsbrand I am not mistaken on when I purchased it. It was 19 months ago. And no, it does not and did not have set screws. It doesn't matter any more. I think that is sketchy of your company if you sent me an old model after the new one was out but it is irrelevant now. I have tried a few different gun belts after that and wasted a lot of money in doing so. They all have faults and do not last the test of time. Ihave since then moved back to a normal leather belt. I just got the Hanks Belt Montana Bison Belt that is super thick in order to accommodate for carrying a gun. So far, it is still in perfect condition and is working way better than any gun belt I have ever purchased.

Chris Goldsmith why holsters were you running for the gun and magazines?
No ankle ifak or cat tourniquet?
I would like to see if the new buckle really stays put for multiple years of use.

Glad to see you uploading again! Great video. The long term durability on these belts is always something I've wanted to see.
Thanks man, It felt good to finally make a video again that’s for sure!!
I’ve carried concealed professionally and personally for years. This is the best belt I’ve ever owned. Just ordered Kore belt again in another color.
Welcome back Nolan, wish everything is good. I have the same belt's they are awesome.
Thanks Edgar, I appreciate it brother!

What model do you have? All the Kore belts I've seen on Amazon the the description says not a gun belt.
Aloha State I would just buy it from the kore sight.
Just to be safe.
Great review and I'm glad to see that it can carry several types of firearms.
Great stuff. I've been thinking about a leather gun belt for more formal situation or office wear. These look nice. Thanks, Nolan.
Just bought mine and I’m loving it!! Excellent product!!
For me its a solid belt that takes a beating. I wear mine everyday and I am very active in facilities operations. I hang multiple items on the belt and it holds it all in place. Day after day of use and abuse, this belt has held up a lot better than any belt I’ve purchased before.
Good to see ya back. Cheers.
I just bought my 3rd Kore belt with the black mutlit cam color. Very cool looking and stiff. My other kores belts are 5 years old so it was time for a refresh. They work great but had some scuffs. Highly recommend.
Missed your content. Hope you had a great holiday.
Just got the kore tactical belt. IWB carry is much more secure and comfortable. Very pleased with my purchase.

I am a believer because the 2 that I bought back in late 2019 are still my daily wear goto belts supporting my sig tier 1 rig iwb. I have had a lot of belts over my law enforcement career and these are the best I have found so far.
Leather or tactical belt?
Unbreakable? Then how do you cut it to size?
Great review👍🏾 Totally agree with everything you said about them.
I have one and even when I am not carrying a gun, this is my go to belt. So much so, I trashed my flemsy leather belt I was using. Will stick with Kore belts from now on

Fantastic belts!
I have the same 2 belts wearing the brown one each and every day and have to say an absolute excellent value. Nicks in mine from we’re my holster clicks on and the same attic, crawl space , trenching (electrical contractor stuff) and mine is functioning perfectly
Thanks for sharing man, they are tough belts for sure!!
good review glad they work well for you brother
Just ordered a Kore Essential Gun Belt a few days ago. Got the black leather X2..
Kore belts are second to none! I’ve been wearing mine daily for over a year and it’s good as new!
Should receive mine the end of this week or next week. Can't wait, , I have the feeling I'll be ordering more
I've had the tactical and dress belts for about 2 years now. One tip - don't bend the tail back a bunch to get it into the loop that will be holding it, follow through around your waist. My tactical belt developed a permanent bend and a little bump in the track from wrenching the tail back. Still works fine, though.
👍 Hey, he's back! Woohoo.
Thank you helped me make a choice. Getting one today
my kore belt turned 6.5 years and still my daily. great value and amazing adjustment for cc.
I wish the small belt keepers they give you lasted longer but the belts are amazing.
Kore customer service i found to be solid when they forgot an item in my order and reshipped next day and belts are brilliant.
I run their 2 of their 1.5 models for edc and coyote battle at the range. Excellent belts and service with this co.
My Kore gun belts are without a doubt the best I've ever worn. I have 3 of them and they're consistently a fantastic product. Tough, durable, reliable. Flexible around the waist and rigid under weight regardless of the pistol carried. You'd be hard pressed to do better than a Kore gun belt.
My have performed as advertised...the adjustability is the reason I purchased them...
I just got mine last week but man I love it so far
Welcome back!!!!
Just got my first kore tac belt and set it up and super impressed so far and I dont say that often!
picked up the new kore ratcheting battle belt and its super nice you can adjust this belt just like their ccw belts. Dont know any other battle belt that does that. Its a big deal when you change your load and need to readjust and hate fiddling with the cobra buckles.
My 2 cents: Excellent belt. Still looks like new leather, and is still very rigid after five years of use. Love the adjustments. Just ordered another in black Tac. My only complaint; I like an aged looking leather belt, and the one I have will never do that. I don't know why. I wish they would make one that looked like old worn leather. The dress leather belt look is not always what I want, but...excellent belt.
I see it's been a year since you posted... I'm currently looking for a belt and Kore Belts now sell the black buffalo leather which looks more worn with the matt finish that you might like.
Good to see you brother!
Thanks KS!!
Wow brother. Good to see you post.
Thanks Brother!
Very good review!
Nice to see ya Brother, TFS Carry On
I finally got a notification on your videos
Got one and this belt is great!
The absolute best belt !
Mine is 6 years an still wear few days a week, The buckle has a few scapes on them but works great.
Good video. Great pile of information.
Thanks Allen, I appreciate it brother!
I use the reinforced Kore belt and its by far the best belt I have ever wore. I work on bulldozer and heavy equipment this belt holds up well in mud rock dirt and crawling in it! I would say I'm over satisfied, and the track makes it fit perfect!
I like mine, but it is very bulky looking for appendix carry. It must be positioned in the front for me, for tucked-in shirts: of which I do often.
Loosening the shirt to flare out a little helps; but is bulky nonetheless. It is not ideal for decent-looking shirts/form fitting.
Try it out. You get time to wear it and return if you don’t like it. You won’t know for sure until you try it. 🙂👍🏼
omg a Nolan Sighting. yes Kore belts are great
Haha, it’s definitely been awhile! Thanks for stoppin by man!

Gabriel - we have tens of thousands of customers that carry with our KORE leather and tactical gun belts every day and swear by them. Our new 2.0 version is beefier and very heavy duty. But like we state, KORE belts are made for small to medium weight firearms so you can wear them comfortably all day. They are not battle belts. Thanks.
KORE BRAND would you consider a HK-P30 with spare mag a medium size weapon?
@@DeathByLego Yes, and our tactical belts can carry that setup with ease. See this recent video - ruclips.net/video/rt5oQH8Rj7Q/видео.html
Love mine but it did brake there's a crack in the leather of mine but it's still workin . Great video miss your vids
I to run many guns also
Thanks man!! I appreciate ya watching!
Mine is well over a year old. The buckle broke a few months back and they replaced it for free. Thanks to JH6 for the contact info
I’ve heard their customer service is top notch 👍🏼
10:04 ....I have to ask about the Bravo Conceal Carry OWB with the Pancake Loops..... for years I've been eyeballing that. I STRICTLY carry IWB. But is Bravo as close to the body as they say? What about printing?
We're in Chicago, so it's a big deal.
Thanks. Great video.
Good belt. I definitely have to get one of these.
You won’t be disappointed!
Love mine!

Wonderful review. Will be ordering mine soon.
Well look what the cat drug in.. good to see ya
I got the "tactical" scuba webbing style works great but it has started to delaminate at the front just anouing
I've looked these belts up on Amazon and they are both advertised as "Non Gun Belt" so I was curious how these 2 specifically stacked up against their nylon riggers version that specifically says it IS a gun belt..
Go to the KORE Essentials website directly. They have two sections on belts split between, "fashion belts," and, "EDC belts."
Their EDC belts still do come in different weight carrying ratings from 4lbs for the 1.5" standard leather belts to 8lbs for the full nylon/polymer styles.
I found the quality and fit of my KoreEssentials belt is awesome. The buckle is sturdy and looks great. The leather looks and feels great too. All in all I feel like it's a great product at a reasonable price. I have the brown and black leather belts with the X1 and X2 buckles. I recommend them to friends.
I wear the brown leather one most of the time. I like it.
I bought the nylon one two weeks ago, it’s not that great. It is indeed sturdy and will hold ur gun, but the material starts separating from the inner layer within like a week with normal outside heat. So now it curls awfully and is a pain to put on. The buckle is perfect, kinda hard to put the end in, but yeah the main thing is the material just seems to be applied with decent stitching but really shitty glue.
N O L A N !!! What's up my brother!? Great 2 see ya! :)
Thanks Brother, just been extremely busy with work lately.... Felt good to finally make a video again! 👍🏼
Nolan mine is 2 plus years old and gotta say it works great. It is a newer styles than yours.
Didn’t know they have tactical belts thought they only had the dress belt.
Good Stuff!!!
Thanks Brother!
can you drop the link for the holsters (harry's i think but i dont exactly see your setup style) thank you in adv
I tried to buy two of these belts but I had so much trouble with the website i gave up. I have nightmares about that website.
👍🏼
Mine has gone through some abuse. But, almost 2 years later, still going strong if not as pretty as the day I got it.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your feedback! Much appreciated!

Yet to find a better fitting more supportive belt solution for everyday than these kore belts
That sniper rifle is damn sexy & those glocks damn, love the glocks
Are they made for guns? I just bought them just for a belt
Can those nicks be repaired/covered with kiwi shoe polish?
Prob the best made belts out there carrying or not.
Should i get the leather or the tactical one? Im gonna use it for everything dress suit pants shorts
I am getting both, I will wear tactical for all but dress. I wear my current 511 tac belt with shorts, since I wear my polo outside no one see the belt anyway if I had to pick one, it would be the tactical
The leather kore (x4) belt I got is falling apart after 8months or wearing it. I am not happy with it. My friend got one and has the same issue
Sorry to hear, but never heard that before. Contact Support@KoreEssentials.com and supply photos. Thanks
Anyone using dcc clips with the leather Kore essential belts or is that just a recipe for disaster?
Just a quick question, is it the leather or the Buffalo ?
Mine have!!
I had mine for over a year and love it, until it broke in half, I need to order another one! The buckle held up well so for, just normal finish wear. The belt is worth $30 a year as far as I am concerned.
Sorry, your might have been defective. Check out our new 2.0 version. thanks
KORE BRAND I am not complaining, I already bought another one and as long as it lasts a year I am very pleased, best belt I have ever owned.
@@flashdelirium429 Good news - the recently released 2.0 models should last for many years. Thanks
Have you inspected the belt construction to see if it’s actually full leather? Not just base it on what the company or markings indicate? Actually use the piece you cut off and dissect it. There’s several reviews claiming it’s not full grain leather.
NO - our standard leather gun belts are made using 2 pieces of Top Grain Leather just like our webstite states. The belts in this video are the Top Grain. We also offer a Full Grain Leather western belts but these belts. Thanks.
Nolan, how ya been? Nice of the Aliens to drop you off again, You staying for a while, this time?
Haha, been doin good man, just extremely busy with work here lately.... I’m gonna try my best to sneak in more videos 👍🏼
If you think this belt is just like 'normal' belt you're sleeping at the wheel, never tried one or dont carry. These 'normal' belts are vertically stiff and zip'n lock at your exact size which is especially key if you have a gun hanging from your belt.
mine was in the trash by 9 months. the buckle keeps ripping off the belt and i kept having to cut another half inch off the belt every time it did. waste of my money and completely unreliable when this puts you in really awkward situations when the belt just comes apart with no warning and you are holding up your pants and gun until you can cut the belt and reattach the buckle again. after 3 cuts I gave up and bought something else to try because sooner or later the belt will not be long enough.
@@Koreessentialsbrand So a year after the upgrade, you sent me an older model of the belt?! I posted this 10 months ago, 9 months after I bought the belt which means the newer model was out a year and a half before I purchased it...If you realized this was a problem and made a change to fix it, you shouldn't have been sending out the old model knowing this would be a problem. Unfortunately, I will never trust your company again.
@@Koreessentialsbrand I am not mistaken on when I purchased it. It was 19 months ago. And no, it does not and did not have set screws. It doesn't matter any more. I think that is sketchy of your company if you sent me an old model after the new one was out but it is irrelevant now. I have tried a few different gun belts after that and wasted a lot of money in doing so. They all have faults and do not last the test of time. Ihave since then moved back to a normal leather belt. I just got the Hanks Belt Montana Bison Belt that is super thick in order to accommodate for carrying a gun. So far, it is still in perfect condition and is working way better than any gun belt I have ever purchased.
@@Koreessentialsbrand Wow, you're calling the customer a liar and then engage in name calling. That's a great look......not sketchy at all.
