This is the third Bianchi B-9 belt that I have purchased. I bought my first one when I was 28. It took about 20 years for the clasps holding the buckle to fail. I have a second one and am 66 years old. I bought the third one for my wife who likes to take pictures. And she loves it so much that she wears it all the time. If you are looking for a high-quality and beautiful shooting sling, you should take a closer look at this sling.
