I've had this belt for EDC and long distance for 8 months and it's impeccable. I'm currently using it abroad daily with this Glock 17 dual magazine combo and it works great but I'll be upgrading the 1.75-2" operator belt system to take more weight from things like IFAC and 1-2 M4 - to handle magazines. But as far as everyday wear goes, this belt is perfect for the task. Yes, it may take an additional 30 seconds to put on and take off like many other belts on the market. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make in order to have positive control and the security of the weapon/gear I carry on my belt. Also, the Raptor buckle is just a sexy looking piece of engineering. I've had many compliments including one from one of my shooting instructors and even colleagues who have offered to trade me for things like knives, but I'll keep the baby!
