From 1995 to 2008 I had a Safariland 146 as a work belt, as well as a Safariland holster and magazine pouches. They served me well, but by the time I retired they were almost done. I bought the sling for the Combat Pistol/Long Gun Qualifiers and future shooting competitions. I also installed MOLLEE AR pouches on it. Qualifying went well. My only complaint is that the strap is a size longer than the previous one. I can't fault Safariland for that.
