If you are looking for a tactical sling or a tactical firearm carry sling, don't waste your money. It's actually "stretch nylon", like an underwear scrap strip. I put on my Springfield XD-40 and it just hung around. So I tightened it until it held, but then I couldn't breathe. This is a nice and comfortable belt to hold your pants. But in no way is it a tactile band. When someone puts on this emergency repulsion belt, they actually hit the concrete when it breaks.
