Great belt, I use 5.11 Tactical Operator 1 3/4 every day when I go hiking. I carry a G19 with a full Mag Ammo Clip and this size 5.11 belt works perfectly. I have no exercise when I climb a big hill/mountain every day. The 5.11 1 3/4 was my go-to CARRY belt until I replaced it with the 5.11 1 1/2", which is basically the same belt, just a little thinner. 5.11 is so tough that even after a full Still lasts a year of use.The only problem I had was the strap was a bit frayed at the end but I just lit it up with a lighter and it locked shut nicely.I had to order this belt twice to get the right size to get but the 5.11 was great and replaced the belt quickly if you are not the right size velcro won't work either great belt highly recommend
