BLACKHAWK CQB/Rigger's Belt - Coyote Tan, Medium

Having completely destroyed over a dozen leather belts over the years, finally decided to try a web alternative, and now I feel a little stupid for waiting so long. This belt will very likely outlive you. Add it to the list of items in your will, leave it to someone who will use it every day and it will probably outlive them too. It is tough. It is substantial. There is no 'foolin around' with this belt - your pants (and your holster) are STAYING on your hip - period. God forbid you get it caught on a train or something, because you will tear in half before the belt does.Yes - it's a little on the big and heavy side. Yes - it's too wide to wear with dress slacks. Yes - it takes a day or so to break it in and get it flexible enough to adjust easily. Yes - it's obviously a weapons-grade piece of gear - not much stealth to it. And Yes - you will have to remove it for TSA - the steel is hard and thick.Great with jeans, BDUs, operator gear and even most duty quality 'docker' type pants (5.11, etc.). Unusable with dress slacks in any fashion, so detectives look elsewhere, but beats the tar out of a doubled duty belt, and carries twice as much more comfortably. No more holster flopping over letting your weapon hit the deck or toilet when nature calls. No more trying to yank up your drawers after a sprint (ever wonder why most belts seem to slip DOWN so easily, but are so darn hard to pull back UP?). No more getting pinched because one hole was just a tad loose and the next was just a tad too tight. No more broken buckle arm during a tumble or scuffle - it's NOT going to happen. IWB, OWB - whatever; your weapon is STAYING with you.If, every waking hour of every day, you need to carry a weapon or gear, don't have to wear dress slacks, and care more about durability and getting the job done than 'fashion', this will be the last belt you ever buy. I personally think it looks fine (my wife dissents), and when I think about how well it does it's job, it gets as pretty and sexy as a plain but 'healthy' girl at closing time. If you regularly read GQ or shop at Barney's this probably isn't your belt - for the rest of us - it is absolutely, simply perfect for what it does.Just sayin.Would I trust my life to a belt? Not until recently, but now, no problem - as long as it was this belt. No surprises, no excuses, no "ifs ands or buts" - that's my kind of gear.

In my opinion these Blackhawk CQB/Rigger's Belt would rate as one of the ultimate field belts. I have owned one for a number of years and it has served me well but it appears to have shrunk over time. These belts have a multitude of uses other than just holding your pants up and you can hang almost anything off them. Just a good solid field or general duties belt. The thing I like about them is that they don’t slip. Manufactured to the highest standard. Sizing specifications are accurate. There are cheaper brands on the market but if you are going to buy tactical/field gear buy the best you can afford.

Product arrived on time as advertised. Great fit, quality construction

I decided to upgrade my belt when switching over from the UCP (digital camo that everyone will incorrectlt call ACU) to the new OCP. The standard issue Army belt is fine, but I had two issues with it that this belt solves:1. The regular belt slips like crazy after continued physical activity. This belt has a heavy duty buckle as well as velcro on the end for a secure fit2. If you're in between sizes like me, the regular belt either gives you 1 inch of slack or upwards of 14 that you gotta hope tucks right into a belt loop or else it all hangs out. This belt has a long run of velcro, so no matter how much slack you have, you can secure it.Two complaints I've heard that I think are dumb but I'll still note are that it's heavy and it's annoying to unvelcro at the urinal. So if an extra pound or having to take 5 sec longer to piss is a dealbreaker then stick with what the Army gives you.Overall it's a solid belt. I've seen plenty of others wearing it so if you're worried about being out of regs, you should be fine seeing as they sell this exact belt on most bases next to the standard one.

So I've had this belt going on 2 years and it's still strong. I wear it every day for work (construction) and it has had up admirably through some rough abuse. Belt does run large, I bought the medium and usually wear a 38 pants. Tried the large initially, way too much excess belt left over after its fastened. It's a slight pain to work back through the metal buckle to fasten at first, but you get used to it. Velcro still holds very well. I like this better than the leather belts I used for years at work.

This belt wasn't what I was hoping for. I was wanting it to be reinforced, but it's not. This, however, turned out to be a good thing because it's more comfortable. I bought this belt for a CCH belt for an IWB and OWB holster. This belt keeps the OWB holster and what it's holding tight against the body. I currently use a Fobus paddle holster and this belt keeps it closer than the average belt you'd buy at any box store. Another reason why I like this belt is because it can adjust to any size for any reason to get the perfect, most comfortable fit, without any notch holes that you hope to line up perfectly. This is my everyday belt. It looks good on jeans and khakis with just about any type of top, besides the fishnet wife beaters that some people wear (please don't ruin the gun community with these kinds of shirts). This belt is top notch and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a strong, everyday belt.

Tactical and practical!! A great all around belt. I love mine and you will too!

I really wanted to love this belt, but after just a month of daily use, the stitching started coming undone and therefore lost its use. Buyer Beware
