Right when I thought EDC belts for concealed carry couldn't get any better, the new kid on the block can dunk. The Tier 1 Concealed EDC-S Belt created by Hunter Constantine is the best concealed carry belt for appendix carry AIWB that I have ever tested. Check out the features in this video to see if it's a good fit for you and if it is worth the hefty price tag.

Great review man. This is the first longer form review I've seen on RUclips. Thank you! It truly is made for ultimate comfort. Just to comment on the price point, this belt is produced and manufactured in the United States by local businesses. It could be similarly priced to the common EDC belts on the market but I will not outsource this to China or any other foregin country. I want the people in our communities to grow and prosper.
Glad you enjoyed the review, you designed a phenomenal belt. Thank you for shedding some light on the pricepoint. That was my assumption, but it's good to know for sure. If you check out my Holosun EPS Carry review, you will learn how I feel about Chinese outsourcing vs supporting American manufacturing. I will always pay a little more to support Pro-2A American businesses who make quality products.
@@NightwoodGuns AMEN!
Good for you for supporting USA manufacturing, Bro! I don't own this yet, but it looks fantastic and I will have ASAP. Much appreciation for your efforts!
@@fl2tx11b we stand together!
@@hunter-constantine Placed an order directly from you last week.. Don’t mind waiting for good quality
I have to say whenever I'm searching for my gun related things, I always end up at your channel getting a lot from information. I think your channel helps beginners in my situation who are lost and looking for answers!
I’m glad to hear the channel has been a good resource for you! 😎👍
The key that I think a lot of people don’t realize with the Kore belt is you skip a belt loop over and you put that buckle off to the side. It would never be centered because that’s exactly where your clip would go for your holster when you apendix carry. It doesn’t print that way and it’s more comfortable.
I go more in depth with my buckle experience in my full Kore review 👍
Yup
💯
Sounds like people are buying Gucci kore belts and they really don't even carry appendix 😂
The kore belt buckles stick out too much and are too big. They aren’t comfortable.
For some reason you’re the only gun-tuber that got me buying stuff you show on videos😂. Amex sends you many thanks 😂
In an industry full of shills, honest reviews go a long way 😂👍 I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel and I’m sorry about your wallet!
This belt is awesome. I actually use this as a similar way to the Phlster enigma inside the waistband appendix on patrol for my backup gun and if I wear shorts or sweatpants as well. Unlike the enigma, this allows multiple firearms to be carried and isnt dependent on one particular firearm holster connected to the enigma portion. Along with utilizing concealed carry principles and using foam wedges, this makes it my go to. It’s easy on, easy off and comfortable to carry
That’s how I plan on wearing it with jogging pants and shorts. Is material comfortable or does it chafe?
@@davidrocha6857 I find it comfortable. The phlster enigma with the sports band is more comfortable IMO
After watching your review, I purchased a Hunter Constantine belt and I was not disappointed. I own several Enigma's and while I still like them but I love that I can use my holsters with the Hunter Constantine. This belt works with everyone of my favorite holsters so it gives me more options.Thanks for sharing!
Right on! Thats great to hear 😎👍
Excellent that you actually showed it being worn, many belt reviewers do not and its annoying. This is probably the best for cc but for other gear no substitute for Kore....🇺🇸✊
Interested to see how well the elastic back part holds up over time. Feel the same about my Kore buckles. Awaiting the next lot of EDC-S belts.
I’m interested to see how it holds up, too. It seems like people who have been running the OG Hunter Constantine belt have great things to say about longevity. So we’ll see 👍
Finaly got my hands one one and I 110% agree with you. Once you get it set right, You can't even tell you have it on.
Nice! Congrats on getting one! It’s a very comfy belt 😎👍
I ordered 2 pair of the arrowhead tactical sweatpants with the integrated belt. I received this belt in the mail first and wish I never considered the arrowheads sweats. Now I have to wait to receive them so I can start the return. The Hunter Constantine belt is amazing. Thanks for spreading the word!
I appreciate showing us how to take a fat dump while wearing the belt.
Would love to see the 1 year update to see if it's still your go to belt.
As someone with similar stature, 6’1” 180 lbs, who also carries an XC but with the MSP pro and kore belt. I love this! Thank you sir!
Very nice! Great carry setup! 😎👍
I love my KORE belt, this is just a more comfortable option to have on hand. How do you like the MSP Pro, btw?
Really nice review!! Exactly what I needed to know before purchasing. Just ordered my fourth and fifth T1C holsters not knowing about this belt. Back to the ordering...
Glad you enjoyed the review! 😎👍
I recently started carrying, and ended up with this belt thanks, in big part, to this review. I already had a nexbelt and the EDC-S belt is very easy to find that “sweet spot” without adding too much bulk in the front.
Happy to hear it 😎👍
Great review! I also had the same thought process as you as I was using a Nexbelt and it is extremely comfortable because of the flexibility of the ratcheting system. The only annoyance being the buckle pressing into my hip while carrying a full size HK P30L. The first time I put the EDC-S belt on I was completely blown away. I almost feel more comfortable with it on than off. It is hands down the most comfortable belt I have ever worn. I will just have to wait some time to see if it is durable as well.
Right on! 😎👍
This was the first video I've seen from your channel that I stumbled upon while looking for belts. You did a terrific job at covering all the primary and miniscule points people may not think to ask about the product. The video production was concise and to the point. I am curious about an update to the wear on the product as it has been over a year. I am concerned as to how long the elastic will last before it becomes unusable.
Bonus points for the anime and video game products in the background. I recognized the majority of it. It is good to see other anime and video game fans that are not firearm averse in real life.
Welcome to the channel! After a year the back portion has stretched and pinched a tiny bit but then stayed put. It required one adjustment but it’s going strong 👍
And yeah, we are a rare breed. But it’s always nice finding my people in the comments! 😅 I’m glad you are well cultured and pro gun!
@@NightwoodGunsthat's a good sign. I don't expect it to last forever, but for the price, I'd like to get three years out of it. I'm debating between the Tier 1 or the Hunter Constantine version, which lacks the third loop for the hook. Has that third loop been used in your daily wear?
Coincidentally, in relation to your Gurren Lagann figurines, my last cosplay was Kamina with my friend as Yoko. Have you done any cosplay?
@@TuxedoBond I only run it on the third loop 👀😎 If I eat a huge meal i can take it out to the second or first loop 👍
That’s an awesome cosplay! Gurren Lagann is probably my favorite anime of all time. (I even have a Gurren Lagann tattoo) I haven’t cosplayed but I do go to conventions. One of these years my wife and I will probably go all-in and cosplay something 😂👍
Wow I’m actually impressed that you can carry and hide that Big Hammer🤯 That’s a lot of Firearm to carry, thanks for the review.
😎👍 Glad you enjoyed the review
I am one day in with this belt, and I couldn't be more happy! Crazy how comfortable it is when driving/sitting! Time will tell if the elastic holds up, but so far super stoked!!!
Nice! That’s where I’m at with it, too! Sitting is so much more comfortable 😎👍 We’ll see how it holds up, but I’m optimistic.
Hope you liking the belt now that you have time with it?
@@swiftaudi I love this belt, and have been wearing it daily! However, the loops (3) that the hook attaches to are coming apart. We bought our budy at the range the Constantine version, which has only two loops at the hook attachment, and his seems to be holding up better than mine.
@@TheGregRussell I heard the loops have been upgraded recently not sure if that’s why.
@@swiftaudi that is great news! I'll definitely be ordering another
Just ordered mine, can't wait to try it out. Thank you for your reviews, love watching them.
Right on! Enjoy! 🙌
I got mine today. Been using a kore belt for about 2-3 years and I was getting tired of the buckle. It sucks for appendix. This belt is basically a kore essentials and groove life had a baby and the baby was an athlete. I cringed at the price of this thing but if it holds up and stands the test of time it’s definitely worth the price. We’re going to start seeing the knock offs coming soon. I think it’s as good as you say it is also. Like I said the only thing that can change that is if for some reason the elastic portion wears out faster than it should.
100% agreed! Sounds like we had the same observations and reservations, but so far so good! 😎👍 I’m very pleased with it!
Thank you for reviewing this belt, I came across it a few days ago and your video popped up, and I'm glad it did. By the way, there was an odd artifact in the video at the 4:58 mark at the top right of the screen. Not sure if it was a bug or a bit of dust.
Glad you enjoyed the video! And good eye, it’s pet hair 🤣
I was excited about the concept, but not how it attaches. You are right, the Kore is going to be a bit heavier and a bit harder but nothing beats 40 small ratcheting teeth, vs three loops. The concept is to be applauded, but it needs a better system to attach it all together. I suspect a version 2.0 will remedy that. I’m sticking with my Kore for now. Love the channel.
Glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! 👍 Yeah, the attachment system can be a pain in the butt if you are coming from a ratchet system. Looking forward to seeing how this concept evolves 😎
Yea that's my issue with it
I don't like the hookup
I switched from a Kore belt to the Tenicor Zero belt for comfort too. If you ever try a Tenicor Belt, let us know how it compares.
Will do! 👍
This is the way
I have both. Prefer this tier 1 belt.
Your negative about it being only for appendix isn't really true. You can carry in any position, you just have to put the reinforced part of the belt wherever your holster is going to be. If you want it strong side, make sure the reinforced part is around that area. The buckle area will change, but it's universal
Like I said, you *can* run it non-appendix. But that’s not what it was designed for.
I came here to learn about the belt, but now I’m interested to learn more about how you conceal. I’m 6’0” and 150 lbs. and my G43x with an Enigma belt does not conceal well at all, yet you manage to carry a larger gun. I’ll check out more of your videos. 👍🏻
I tried the Enigma for a year. It is a well made system… it was just to much daily work for me and it wasn’t the best concealment-wise. Welcome to the channel, have a look around 😅👍
They were in stock yesterday! When i notice they just have tan color in stock, I order one!!! 5 mins after OUT OF STOCK!!! Im glad i did it
Nice! Good job snagging one! 😎👍
Very excited to receive my belt tomorrow. So far, the Tenicor Zero has been the GOAT for me, but this belt has me hype for sure.🤙🏽
Nice! Let me know how it compares to the Tenicor Zero. I’m thinking it will be a bit sturdier 🤔
How do you like the belt OP
Update?
Definitely pros and cons for both but, ZERO is still the better value by a small margin. The ease of adjustability and putting on/taking off the belt, the seemingly perfect balance between flexibility and rigidity, and the price is what gives it the top spot IMO. HC belt has the advantage in terms of sturdiness on the front and complete flex on the back (better comfort) but getting through belt loops is annoying and the price is hard to justify with many options out there. If you are new to CCW and don’t have a belt, HC is the way. If you already own multiple belts and are looking for comfort and simplicity, go ZERO. Going forward I plan on using the HC for long periods where changing clothes/outfits is not a consideration, and the ZERO for when I need to be quick about getting ready or plan to change clothes throughout the day. Good luck folks!🤙🏽
Liked the video! What about doing a video for "best belts for different carry positions and body types"?
Glad you enjoyed the vid! I’m afraid that video idea would be short. It’s just the KORE essentials belt. Works best for every carry position and every body type.
I do wish they made them in 1 3/4" though... I like a more substantial platform, personally but it is what it is. Great review!
That would be nice 👍 Glad you enjoyed the review
There may a be a 1.75” prototype in the pipeline
I just ordered one of the Hunter Constantine belts from his website last week and can’t wait to try it. I added it to the cart after seeing 87 five star reviews saying it was the most comfortable belt ever, and zero reviews less than five stars. I think it’s a slightly different belt than this tier 1 collaboration, but almost the same, and it’s in stock currently.
What do you think about it so far I placed my order yesterday I’m super anxious to get it on lol
I really like the groove belt. I generally carry a shield plus so not very heavy. I like the idea of this belt though
Groove belt was a little too flimsy when I tried it. This is the perfect middle ground 👍
@Nightwood Guns For sure, it is a bit flimsy. When I carry my P10C it can get a little droop. With my shield plus it's comfy. I have a nexbelt and find it to be horribly uncomfortable, prints a lot, and doesnt seat my holsters well. I'm going to try this tier 1 eventually.
I feel ya! 😎👍 Whenever these are more available, I definitely recommend it.
Would you like the stiff portion of this belt to a nex belt level of stiffness?
I like a fair few of the things on your channel, I bought one months ago. I liked it, but after getting a neomag alias reciever its on a whole new level.
I’ve heard great things about the Alias 👍
Before I even started your video my concern was on my dumps and how that would go down. Thank you!
😂👍
Dang you Brett, first you sealed me on now buying Bul Armory now the belt to try from tier 1. SOE has been my go-to after trying about everyone else but I'll give them a try now too.
I always find the good stuff 😅👍
I just received the belt with the holster for my Glock 43. OMG I don't even feel I'm carrying.
Very nice!
Damnit Brett!!! You make me want to buy everything you review! First I bought the Kore essentials belt but yes I do frequently adjusted when carrying all day. Then the radian ramjet/afteeburner. Then the DPM system recoil spring… now this belt… lmao😂
Freaking thing is sold-out. You sold me bud. Thanks for the review(s)
1:21 that’s how I felt after spending $80+ for stout recoil. I’d invest that in simple getting a porting package done by monsoon tactical if you want your sight picture/point of aim / whatever you’d like to say to shoot sooner ,you’ll actually FEEL a noticeable difference in recoil .
Awesome review my friend, so glad you dig it! I felt the same when we started testing it last year. I was in love!
Definitely a great belt! You guys know what’s good! 😎👍
I found your channel awhile back and I love your content, so THANK YOU! The only thing that could be better is if these companies start sponsoring you and getting you some free gear to review! I wonder if you could just ask them for a review unit? It’s not like you don’t get plenty of views! Either way, keep up the good work man!
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! I’m grateful that DPM Systems decided to sponsor a bunch of videos, Handleitgrips offered to sponsor a couple of vids, and I caught Radian’s attention. It’s definitely starting to happen, slowly but surely. 😎👍 Thanks for being along for the ride!
WOW, that's an expensive belt without the carry holster!!! Then again, this is the way forward now. We're post COVID and EVERYTHING is 30-40% more than 5 years ago. So glad I got a 50% raise! Oh wait........ ;-(
I love mine, Tier 1 s was out of stock so I got one directly from Hunter Constantine.
Very nice! Glad you like it 👍
I have the Hunter Constantine version. I'm not quite as dramatically enthusiastic as you, but it's working well so far. Agree about the absurd price, that really hit home when I actually received it and examined it's construction and materials. Yikes, okay. As far as OWB behind the hip carry, it works just fine, I fail to see the big problem? Just wear the buckle in front as you normally would, which puts the stiff portion right where it should be.
I didn’t say it was a big problem, it can be done. It’s just clearly designed for and thrives with appendix carry. I don’t think it particularly excels at behind the hip carry vs the lower back comfort it offers at AIWB. Especially for the price, I feel like other cheaper belts would be better suited for behind the hip. I’m glad the belt has been working out for you so far, though 👍 As you can tell, I’m very pleased with it.
@@NightwoodGuns that's fair... it wouldn't be my first choice for 4 o'clock either, but it's usable.
Is this belt any different from Constantine’s one, or is it just a marketing collab with tier1, but still the same belt?
@@Dansal1980 One thing I noticed is that the Tier 1 has three adjustment loops, where mine only has two.
Excellent review as always. I am quite happy with my Kore belt. The price value of this belt IMO is too high.
Glad you enjoyed the review, man! 👍 It will always be hard to compete price wise in spaces like this with companies like KORE that mass-produce in Asia. So while I understand the higher price of this belt I also see what you mean. 💯
Great review as always. Keep them coming!
Great video man. I’m a huge T1C fan but 115 bones is a tough pill to swallow when I love my Kore belts as much as I do for sure. But I’m sure I’ll cave and grab one like I always do because I have zero self control 😂😂.
That pretty much sums up my experience 😅
Reading through the reviews on this, and this comment hit home 😂
@@JustinV911 I did end up buying one and I don’t like it as much as my Kore belts. It’s more comfortable fire sure but just doesn’t conceal as well as the Kore belts do. I still wear it when I am wearing baggier clothes up top but on a regular basis I’m still rocking the Kore
@@wessowell6616 thanks for the response. I have a blue alpha and a Tenicor and I can’t tell which one I like more, sometimes one conceals better than the other
At times I feel the Tenicor doesn’t keep my setup where I want it kept
I just got a Warrior Poet Nex belt and it’s been amazing!! Maybe someday I’ll splurge for this belt but currently it’s been perfect for me. I however do love the soft/stretchy back of your belt!
Nice! Nexbelts and KORE belts are best all-around 👍 The convenience is hard to beat.
I literally subbed because of the blood-borne picture behind you. Great job on that.
You’re the first person to spot Bloodborne in all this time! Congrats! Welcome to the channel and may the good blood guide your way.
🙌
Man. I was the kid with the Game Boy Pocket when everyone else had a Color. Thanks for unearthing old traumas. 😒
🤣🤣🤣 Sorry ‘bout that… I’ll share my GameBoy Color with you now! You won’t have to play Pokémon in black and white anymore!
Ciguera, to me, makes the best product that is actually a belt while still being comfortable yet sturdy and durable.
Ciguera, KORE, Nexbelt, Blue Alpha Gear, Wilderness Tactical, the list goes on. Lots of great choices out there! 😎👍
I came from a emissary belt to the HC belt
Waiting for your impressions of that DPM kit...i had mine for a CZ P10 C...i used all of the springs and road provided ,just to see the differences...not really impressed with it...whenever your video will come,I'll exchange some more impressions on that 😉
Looking forward to discussing it a bit in the comments when the video goes live 👍 We’ll see how our observations compare.
I didnt want to buy this, i assumed it was probably overpriced, but you made a damn good case for getting one.
It might be a little overpriced, but I do still recommend it 😎👍 Not mass produced and it’s made by good people so I’m okay paying a premium. Definitely one of my better “panic buys” 😂
Ordered mine today. They go super fast! Thanks for the review.
Congrats on getting one! Who would have thought that snagging a belt would be an accomplishment 😅 I hope you enjoy it 👍
Looks like a good belt. Very similar to the Agonic belt. I've tried many belts and Agonic has been the most comfortable belt I've ever used. I'm going to give this one a try as well.
I’ve heard mixed opinions on the Agonic. But I definitely like and recommend this one 😎👍
I never heard of that belt till today. That belt looks similar but it is able to hold stuff inside the internal pockets and hide the belt clips. I don’t think the HC belt can
I will stick to my Tenicor belt and holster. Give it a try
Nothing wrong with that! Ideally I’d like to buy and try everything on the market, it’s just not very feasible. 🤷♂️
I don't use kore, I use nexbelt. And I use the supreme appendix belt clip. It's smaller than the others, better for appendix offsetting
It’s narrower than the Kore for sure, but it’s still bulky compared to this buckle. This buckle is next-level low-profile. 👍
@@NightwoodGuns for sure! I'm just not a fan of the attachment method. It looks clunky to me. I'll probably buy one anyway just because it's t1c tho
Lol! It’s definitely not as convenient as the Nexbelt or Kore, but is sure is comfy. 100% a trade-off. T1C knows what’s good 😂
This looks nice. It's a long the same lines as my Foundation EDC belt that Carry Trainer recommended. There's give in the back for sitting and driving while still being stiff where it needs to be with a super small buckle with Velcro
Very similar, just a bit sturdier up front and no Velcro 👍
@@NightwoodGuns I think I might get this for my girlfriend 😁
😁👍
In wanted to buy this so bad but wanted to wait for a review. Guess I'll have to wait to buy one. I've always looked for a better version of the 5.11 dropshot belt and this is it.
Always smart to wait for reviews. I took a gamble and luckily it’s awesome! 😎👍
Nice video. I have been thinking about getting one, but the price was the only thing holding me back. Guess I’m going to have to pull trigger and get one.
I feel this would he a good option for carrier in work out wear because you can really tighten it up closer to the body.
I’ve done it and it works 😎👍
Great review, thank you. I have been wearing mine for 2 days now and my experience echoes yours. Super comfortable (especially the buckle), holds my Axis Elite securely, and the flex is a game changer with movement. Like you, my only con so far is the price, but I am willing to support a US company that puts out quality products. I had been wearing Nexbelt Supreme Appendix Carry belts for the past year and they are great and their adjustability is better, but the comfort doesn't compare.
Nice, man! I agree 100% Thanks for your input! 😎👍
Looks good but going to the loo will be a pain. Thanks for the video though. Very informative. Have a great day.
Glad you enjoyed! 😎👍
Was gonnna get one and had the same reservations you did, was waiting for someone to do a video ...I use the Kore as my EDC now... but after this video Im definitely getting one, at least when there in stock I'll be getting one lol.. thx for the vid definitely helped me out bro
Nice, man! 😎👍 I wish you luck in getting your hands on one during the next drop!
@@NightwoodGuns shoot me 2 brother 😂
@@TexasShotz 😂👍
I’ve had one and now two from hunter Constantine Amazing belt and holding up great
Awesome! I’m glad to hear they are still going strong! 😎👍
Also when putting the belt on it’s better to start from your back belt loop and when unbuckling hook it the closet loop so it doesn’t shoot off lol
@@NightwoodGuns awesome content man from fellow Desert rat 🙏🏽
@@ARID-APACHE That’s similar to what I normally do, just did it different on camera lol! Glad you are enjoying the content, man! Always nice hearing from another desert dweller🌵👍
"my 20-inch waist jail-bait ass" dude I fuckin laughed so hard. I gotta small waist too dude.
🤣🤣🤣 Small waist gang over here. Nice Dark Souls profile pic, btw
I managed to get one. So far happy with it, not sure if it'll replace my normal edc belt but I do like it so far. Might be my carry belt for when I'm gonna be walking alot, that's when I notice the discomfort the most.
For me it’s the comfort while sitting. The way it flexes with my body while sitting is so much better than a normal belt. It’s definitely comfy, we’ll see how it holds up over time. I’m optimistic. 👍
@Nightwood Guns I haven't had the opportunity to use it at work yet, I'll probably give it at least a week run there since I'm sitting in a truck or on a mower for the majority of the day. Definitely optimistic myslef.
Right on! 😎👍
Update? Are you still carrying it?
@tonytiger2450 I am. I go between it and my kore belt. It's held up pretty well. The only thing I can say it may be a con or not depending on your preference but it doesn't conceal just the pistol by itself as well as it does the appendix rig style holsters for me.
Thanks for the video. I may need to try this belt when it is in stock. I currently use a Kore or an SOE EDC Low Profile belt. The SOE has a similar hook interface at less than half the price, although, the Tier 1 has some nice upgraded features, so it may be worth the extra cost.
The Tier 1 is definitely my favorite low-profile/comfort belt so far. 👍 Thanks for the comment!
Thank you. I need one now.
😎👍
Belt is excellent. I agree with the review for the most part. Immediately feels better than the Kore. Movement of the holster due to physical activity is the biggest downside, but its not a deal breaker.
Agreed 👍
Using a wedge is important with this belt. I noticed a big difference in movement when I made my own wedge
@@jmans56 I’m glad you found a way to make it work better 👍 I haven’t needed a wedge, but it might depend on the gun/holster model. My X300 gives me good leverage.
@@NightwoodGuns I carry with a TL7a. It's very flat so I don't get bulk acting as a wedge. Never carried one with the KORE belt
@@jmans56 Gotcha 👍 Makes sense!
Watched a number of your videos recently as I look to upgrade my EDC kit, I have an Axis Elite and this belt (from HC directly rather than T1C) on the way as a result. Im not quite your build, but I am tall and skinny and was happy to hear your feedback and success with the setup. I also have a more discreet belt from Mastermind Tactics coming at the same time, to compare the 'loopless' experience. If you havent already I would love to see your thoughts on the 'pillow' wedge they make.
Thanks for the great review. I have a Kore belt and it serves all my needs. At least we'll enough that I'm not going to spend $115+dollars on a belt made for appendix carry only.
Expensive for what it is. Looks promising though if they ever put them on sale. I also carry a C2 with a X300 daily.
Great belt, definitely pricier than I would have liked.
Great choice for EDC, btw! 😎
Tell Tier 1 to make the buckle/hook out if carbon fiber so it isn’t detected going through metal detectors. Of course I put my firearm away before I go through it.
Happy with the Tenicor Zero belt but on the waiting list on etc belt.
Very nice! I think you’ll be happy when you get it! 😎👍
My man’s included the fact it’s gonna be a lil more difficult to teach rando’s how to get ur belt off in the list of negatives 🤣🤣🤣 I love it hahahaha
Just sayin’! 🤷♂️😂
@@NightwoodGunsI’ve seen quite a few of your videos and enjoy your content, but am very selective with who I subscribe to on YT. I don’t think I can justify not subscribing after this one though hahaha I’m in!
@@nathanstrange168 Haha! Well, I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel! 😎👍
Great review man looks like a great belt. Still waiting on the tenicor zero belt review!! Loving mine holds my comped Glock 19L in an axis elite with 17 rd mags with no sag
From what I’ve seen it looks like the Tenicor Zero is probably the best minimalist belt on the market. I’d love to try one, I just can’t buy everything in existence 😂 I might see if they’ll send me one, I just prefer to avoid bias where I can.
@@NightwoodGuns I completely understand that. They take great pride in their products so I’m sure they wouldn’t be worried about a negative review because I bet they’d think you wouldn’t give one anyway 😂 if that makes sense
Makes sense to me, I’ll give it a shot 👍
Just got this belt today. Game-changer.
Nice job snagging one! I’m glad you like it! 😎👍
@@NightwoodGuns I missed the first batch but got on the email list and jumped when they sent it.
Sweet! You were quick on the draw! 🙌
Can you wear this on gym shorts and things without belt loops? I read it can and was just curious from your personal experience. That would be game changer and a big selling point to buy.
I would say that you probably could in a pinch, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Since nothing anchors it to your body, the whole belt could slide up your body on the draw. The only carry method I recommend with gym shorts/no belt loops is the Phlster Enigma.
@@NightwoodGuns thank you for the insight and reply! How you liking the belt now after a couple of weeks having it now? Is the belt still holding strong and durable?
Literally just bought one bc of this review. Keep up the good work
😎👍
Dear RUclips today would be my 4th time subscribing to this channel in the last 2 weeks cut the shit ✌️😚
Unreal… thanks for letting me know, though. My channel has definitely been flagged at this point 😂
I always appreciate your reviews man, they’re too notch-keep ‘em coming. Is this belt any different from Constantine’s belt (design and functionality), or is it just a marketing collab between the 2?😂
Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying the vids! 😎👍 It is just a marketing collab between the two. The T1C branded buckle is the only difference that I’m aware of. Same thing they do with Kore.
@@NightwoodGuns gotcha. Appreciate it man!
Of course! 👍
Looks really cool but I’d bet that elastic is going to get weak over time. Any updates would be helpful if this has happened.
Still going strong 👍
The trade-off of not being able to instantly drop trou is big for me.
I feel ya 😂
I'll wait the year to see how well it holds up and the price to drop a bit.
Nothing wrong with that 😎👍 I’m curious to see how it holds up, too.
Nice review. Have you compared this by any chance to the Tenicor edc belt?
I have not, but I’ve heard great things. It seems like this belt excels at comfort whereas the Tenicor belt is a great minimalist option.
Great video. How would you think compares to the Hunter Constaine edc belt?
This is exactly the Hunter Constantine belt with an extra loop and a different logo 👍
Did you ever make a 1-year update video? I'd be interested to see if the elastic and hook system has held up over time before dropping this much money and then finding out he's updating the design to fix problems that have shown up.
Haven’t done a video yet. But it’s holding up well! The stretchy back portion is now pinched a bit and I had to tighten it once. But it’s still holding and functioning strong. Impressive belt 👍
@@NightwoodGuns Thanks for the reply man!
@@MotoCampAdventure 😎👍
Definitely post an update on the durability of the elastic over time. I am currently working with a blue alpha hybrid EDC belt and I love it. Idk if I want to spent a total of $130 for a belt when I can get one for $75 from blue alpha
I’ll post an update if anything happens 👍 Blue Alpha is one of the best out there, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to replace it unless you are having back/hip/comfort issues.
@@NightwoodGuns definitely appreciate it and all that you do!!
@@SaltyStones 😎👍
I’ve had mine 2 days now. While it’s it extremely comfortable, I’m not impressed. It’s difficult to take out of the belt loops at the end of each day or from switching jeans to jeans. Also, the part that is supposed to be hard and straight where you attach your holster to is already bent in two different directions and deformed looking. I’d be surprised if it last more than 6 months.
Interesting. I’ve been wearing mine for two months and the rigid portion hasn’t deformed at all. As far as taking it on and off, you are definitely sacrificing a little bit of convenience for comfort. I don’t find it to be overwhelming inconvenient, though.
@@NightwoodGunsI’ve changed my mind on this belt. While switching back and forth with my Kore belt, this belt is by far more comfortable to wear. I believe the rigid part forms to how you wear your holster too. Mine has drooped down and isn’t straight across anymore, but it’s perfectly at the position my waist and holster would pull it down to in the first place. The belt hasn’t frayed and I don’t notice any signs of wear. I wear it 12-16 hours a day, everyday. I’m actually impressed so far.
@@jackripper6033 Nice! A few people who didn’t like it at first have come back and left a new comment that they have changed their mind. I’m glad to see you are enjoying it 👍
I recognize these are expensive, but maybe the OP should buy two, one for each pair of pants.
Just got mine...so far...mind blown😮
It’s nice! 😎👍
@@NightwoodGuns thanks bro if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have had the financial courage to try this out and now the hip pains don't exists.keep it up, your one of them ones 👍
@@shawnelobet9820 Good to hear! Enjoy the belt 🤙
I'd be interested to see how the elastic webbing holds up over time
Still going strong 👍
Great review, problem is just getting one
Seems like that’s just how the firearm industry is nowadays. Red dots, comps, belts… all impossible to get 😂
In the beginning g of the video I believed you mentioned DPM. I have bought adapter plates from them and their product is very good. Titanium plate for 29.99 compared to the others at 89.
Taking a dukiss at the local Home Depot …while CCW…many hours of practice I have ….🤔🤩🙏🏼👍
😂👍 Gives a hole new meaning to Home De-“Pot”
While I love T1C and use their axis elite holster, although might be a stupid question, I wonder who makes the most profit on this belt ordering it through T1C compared to ordering directly through Hunters website directly because the ONLY difference I see is just the T1C logo slapped onto the hook. If T1C gets even 10% profit I don’t recommend ordering through them just for the logo. I’d rather do my best and order directly especially when the price is the exact same. More profit and support to the actual creator of the belt.
I can get behind that. When I made the video, I didn’t know everything about the history of the belt. I ordered it from T1C and reviewed it. I do like the third loop on the T1C version, though. But ordering straight from Hunter is the way to go if you want to best support him 👍 He’s an awesome dude and deserves all of praise!
Looks like you could just put the buckle in the front it would work the same for the 4 o'clock carry too.
Yep, it would work. It just doesn’t alleviate back pressure like carrying at appendix does. It could alleviate hot spots on your hips, though 👍
T1C has it you definitely need it!
They know what’s up! 😎👍
Great video! Do you know how it holds up with something like gym shorts, sweats or just anything without belt loops?
It works well 👍 One of the better options out there!
Love the conceal carry gear to make life easier!!
Agreed! 😎👍
Just order one right now! Got an email about it. get it while you can people! they are in limited stock
😎👍 They always go fast!
