My first 5.11 belt and I like it!

[Lost Lake]

I've used a Beltman belt for over a year and I like it a lot, but when carrying a heavy gun like a 45, I find that using one buckle hole is a bit too lose and the next hole tighter was too tight.

So I looked for a more adjustable belt and found the 5.11 Operator Belt. I chose this belt because it comes with the internal plastic stiffener and it has the velcro attachment for the excess.

Now I can get my belt the perfect tightness and the excess folds back over the loop on my holster and velcros right over it, locking the holster in position.

I've only worn it for a day now, but it seems to be more comfortable to start, the Beltman was stiffer at first.

The price is right, with shipping free from a lot of places you can get a 5.11 Operator for around $45.

The belt buckle itself is a serious piece of machinery! It is rated to hold 6,000 pounds so that Turkey dinner will be no match for it, and if you need to rappel of a building you can use it as a harness point.

For the price I'd say it's worth a try. I am happy.

I recently bought a 5.11 Arc belt and am pretty happy with it. I've lost about 30 lbs over the past 7 months and couldn't stomach the idea of buying 2 more A & G Custom Gun Leather belts to replace them and figured for 49 bucks I'd try the 5.11 Arc leather. So far so good even though it's made in China vs. handmade in the USA. I also have a couple Wilderness Instructor 5-stitch belts that are similar to the one you got that I love. All in all though the 5.11 is pretty good for the money!
