This is my favorite belt now. I have three belts, a 1/5" and have had it for 25 years, a 2" belt that I have had for 15 years and a gun belt that I have had for 2 years. This is my best belt so far. It's a bit thicker than my other belts but much better quality. The rifle sling is about the same quality but stiff and costs almost $100. other straps can hold my host, but they tend to sag a bit. The pistol strap doesn't sag, but it's stiff and bulky (thick). This sling sits somewhere between my old sling and a newer rifle sling.
