I really liked this belt. This is really a decent set for the price. I tested it on a three-month trip abroad. I carried a leather tool and utility knife, and the belt worked well. You really have to "break" the strap - it's a little at first when you try to tighten it, but it softens over time. This is not a weight carrying strap and in my opinion too soft to carry a pistol. If you want that, I recommend 5.11. I used a 5.11 sling to carry a handgun on my last deployment and it was excellent, but the 5.11 is too stiff and stiff for everyday civilian use.
