This is my second sling of the same style. I have the same brown one that I bought 9 months ago. Business/work belt, it scores very highly Very nice smooth leather and clean professional nickel buckle - It starts to flex/bend where you clip it but I think all leathers do that I have a couple of Galco holsters for my 1911 as well a couple of IWB holsters for my smaller guns. to use on external band holster models or larger/heavy guns like the 1911. As many other reviewers have pointed out, this sling needs to be ordered two sizes larger. My waist is 41". I ordered my brown galco belt in 46" and it was perfect. I accidentally ordered the black one in 44" and am on the penultimate hole. -Th Another issue it seems short l What I like about it is that there is very little tab left after the last hole so even if you are halfway to the holes very little belt comes out of the buckle and usually doesn't want to get to the first belt loop of most pants. If Galco was able to read the customer's info, make the end of the strap about 2-3 inches longer! - then that would be perfect.
