Beau EDC belt infers everyday carry of a firearm. So when I drew my weapon the stretchy groove belt pulled up wards too and made it tricky to get my gun out of its holster smoothly. At least that is what happened to me. You should try that on video or not call it an edc belt.
The term edc has really nothing to do with firearms. The gun community has kinda twisted it to fit that term. It's a shame this belt gets lumped into that category because it's an awesome everyday belt but gets some hate because people think it's a proper gun belt
Beau try using it for a year of carrying a gun. I did and it is totally frayed out along the top edge and buckle is pretty badly scratched. My wife says I can t use it any more looks too bad.
Any stretch is not a good EDC belt as the belt tends to ride up with your draw and in turn the holster does too. It can cause you to lose precious seconds. Also it's recommended that you cut to accommodate the holster if it's an iwb. So if you aren't carrying and you're cut for the iwb it's gonna have too much overhang from tightening.
How secure is the buckle? If you bend in a forward or crouched position do the magnets pop apart or anything? Seems like it maybe it could unbuckle easily (unintentionally)?
It's got two hooks that hook into holes that require a specific movement of the two halves to unhook. The magnet is there to hold it into those holes so no it's very unlikely to come undone
@@superrad1659 also forgot to mention that when it's actually on your waist there will be tension pulling them hooks into the holes. So you have to pull against that tension and up to undo the buckle. Easy to do but pretty hard to do unintentionally
At first glance buckle looked too large and one review said it was. I have 2 of these, and I can testify they are not obnoxious or too big.

@@Beardman56 they shouldn’t advertise it as one then
You can carry with clip type holster on to pant waist line and over belt of coarse, No problem
Hey Beau! Do you have an update after wearing the belt after this video?

Honestly though if it didn't stretch it would be an ok belt probably for ECD
Like The Idea It is a Nice Belt but I have to adjust this belt every week. :( It's seem it gets loose and No I'm not losing weight.
