I read good and bad reviews of this belt and decided that it was worth trying.

didn’t seem really thick.

It was, however, exactly what was on the photos.

wanting a good tactical belt for a holster.

The 1 1/2″ Nylon webbing did the job.

You do have to have it snug on your waste if you own a crappy holster that is top heavy and bulky, but with a proper holster, this belt works perfectly.

I put it on and it seemed to retain position extremely well.

For pants that have adjustable bands, this is a great belt to make a comfortable, yet firm fit.

The CQB rigger is just a metal triangular piece that you can tie to or hook a carabineer to for all kinds of tasks.  It also has a Velcro latch to make sure the rigger device stays out of your way for every day movement.

If I had one complaint, it would be the width of the buckle.

This belt can also be used for a makeshift tourniquet if needed.

The next is that I think the hook and latch (Velcro) will give up after quite some time.

I think this is a great belt for the cost.

Shawn from Massachusetts 2nd question

* Question:

* My ideal bug out vehicle? Gas or diesel? Standard or automatic? 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive?  He thinks gas, standard, 4 wheel drive.  Diesel is hard to crank in north and 4 wheel drive for snow.

* Answer: This is a “it depends” type of answer.
