delta6 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I have been wearing this belt for about two weeks. Works as advertised. Comfortable and easily adjustable. The adjusting lever could be a bit bigger, but not a deal breaker. https://bianchileather.com/products/b13-edc-nexbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Just for reference, Kore has a better selection of options and is less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I have a Nexbelt that is just like that. I wear it every single day at work and off duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) I have several Nex belts... Grossly overpriced junk IMO, dont hold up for squat if you put stuff on them.. Material frays or the inner plastic breaks. I got replacement straps for the buckles from them on a clearance deal,, but over all for a $60 ? IIRC belt... Far from impressed. Maybe this leather covered version will last longer than the nylon. I have black and tan,, got a year tops out of them.. And I dont carry a gun on them,, flashlight, keys, cellphone. Been wearing a leather 2 hole per setting belt I got at Family Dollar for $9 that seems to be doing well.

I just got a Kore belt last week based on a friends recommendation. Too soon to tell for sure, but I think it’s going to be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have one tan one that the locking mechanism strips if you push your gut too hard against it, but the three others have been solid. Absolutely, not saying there isn't something better, but the one I'm wearing at this very moment has been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Kore this year and so far like it except that some of the belt loops on my jeans won’t accept it doubled on the tag end. It’s funny how many people wear out a belt in a year when my old work belt is still going from 1974. Edited March 1, 2023 by Farmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broadside72 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I have 4 Kore belts, two "gun" belts and two dress belts. They have been great, especially once they changed their buckles over to have the set screws and not just the clamp to hold the belt in it.

AngelDeVille Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I have a pair of uncle mike's instructors belts and a pair of $30 gun belts, but I think I got them when they were $20 gun belts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss something? Yes, you missed something. lol, just messin with ya. You were probably seeing their two belt combos. As another FYI, Precision Delta (who a lot of people here do business with anyway) carries Kore belts, and has sales on them from time to time. Inventory is limited currently, but will be restocked with a lot of options soon. https://www.precisiondelta.com/products/pro-shop/shooting-accessories/kore-gun-belts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whan Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Maybe specific to my needs, but for appendix carry of lightweight guns (P365XL in my case), I've found that standard non gun-belts work fine. If anything the flexibility helps with comfort. My favorite is actually just a braided leather belt which provides a ton of micro adjustment by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss something? I bought the combo directly from Kore and there was an additional 10% off coupon so made it right at $100 for two + free shipping.

WDG710 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Whan - I agree, I've found some flexibility definitely aids in the comfort factor vs hard stiffness of quality gun belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmspaul Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I like the look and features of the Kore belts. It seems like a good choice to replace my old EDC belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
