I actually purchased two Kore Essentials gun belts and two buckles. I've scoffed, for years, at those who insisted that a true gun belt was an essential element of concealed carry. I've been carrying concealed daily for nearly 30 years and I feel like such a fool after using my Kore equipment for the last couple of months. These are absolutely essential. Nuff said. My experience with KORE has been exceptional and very refreshing. I'm sold.
