I have 8 years of military and 20 years of law enforcement service. I have worn duty belts and conceal carried weapons and gear for the majority of my adult life. The kore belt and ratcheting buckle are a huge leap forward over any other belt I have worn. It gives the support and weight distribution of a 1.75 inch duty belt in a concealed carry belt. I regularly carry a Glock 20 and 34 concealed and this belt spreads the weight so effectively I forget they are there. The ratcheting buckle allows you to make minor adjustments during the day while standing, sitting and driving. These adjustments keep your weapon concealed and your back comfortable. This belt is highly recommended by me.
