Great Belt, I use the 5.11 Tactical Operator 1 3/4 each day when I hike. I carry a G19 with full Mag Ammo Clip, and this size 5.11 Belt works perfect. I get zero movement climbing on a large hill/mountain each day. The 5.11 1 3/4 was my everyday CARRY belt until I replaced it with the 5.11 1 1/2 inch belt, which is basically the same belt just a bit thinner. The 5.11 is so stiff it holds up even after a solid year of use.The only issue I had with the belt was a little fraying at the end, but I just used a lighter on it, and it sealed nicely. I had to order this belt twice to get the right size but 5.11 was great and replaced the belt quickly. If you do not have the correct match size the Velcro will not work that great.Great Belt, highly recommended
