For those who can't read the description... *These belts will be available Nov. 20th!* The ones I have shown are prototypes and they are improving on the design. Thanks to everyone else who actually read the video descriptions I write on every video lol Cheers 🍻
Talon Sei hey bro love the videos I was wondering if those belts are good for work pants like dickies mechanic type pants. Does the belt fit in the loops pretty good or is the belt to big. Just wondering cause I would love to get one.
KORE BRAND I got the tan gun belt and x3 buckle, I have to say. I love it. Wear it everyday on the railroad, don’t even feel it. I was actually recommending it for an off duty belt to one of my LE friends today. Thanks
Talon Kore now sells USA made belts Just picked one up in tactical od green and super nice even better than there reg belts I am planning to get a leather one next for work.
My smart wife bought me a set of 2 of these belts last summer and I love em. After you wear them a week you cant go back to your old belts. They click to your waist so nicely.
I'm a Police Officer and got a Kore gun belt for Christmas. It's definitely the BEST BELT I've ever owned, for on and off duty use. The incremental adjustments and stiffness/load bearing are absolutely amazing. I've been telling and showing it off to everyone in my department and they all are wanting one. I will be getting more.
My tactical nylon 1.5 inch delaminated just over a year and a half of use. Had to melt outer layer back to Core layer in order to pass the belt through the buckle. Other wise major jam issues. Customer service only offered to give 20% off a new belt that will delaminate over time / use. Otherwise I did like it alot
My Kore belt is great, it looks really good and can be worn with dress cloths. When it comes to the use of carrying a gun it does a great job at that as well, it is very rigid and will not flex even when supporting a gun I carry a glock 19 gen 5 and it holds the weight perfectly, the Kore track line system is the best thing about it there are a ton of minute increments so you get the perfect fit unlike most belts, it's very sturdy and has a quick release, I have recommended this belt to everyone I know, whether they carry a gun or not.
I have been in LE for 25+ years in the Chicago area. I'm in a suit most days so I wear the black leather belt version with the buckle that resembles a regular buckle. It's plenty stiff for my needs and yet not too stiff so that it's comfortable all day. I have to have a solid belt that I can sit in, walk in and will hold my service gear, cuffs, etc. The secret is the way in which this belt adjusts that makes it work like a dream. There's no way I can go back to my old leather belts with holes anymore now that I know there's better.
I got my first Kore EDC belt about 4 years ago and it quickly became my permanent carry belt. The leather option was the only option originally and after 4 years it still looks brand new despite daily use of several different types of holster and different sizes firearms. I finally got one of the new model nylon belts and it is even better than the leather and will be my new daily belt. I've been recommending Kore gun belts to anyone that asks for years now.
Talon I bought 2 kore belts after seeing this review in 2017 and want to say THANKS!!! These are the BEst damn belts I ever had. All of the guys in my family wear them now and love them. My original ones are 5 years old and still work really well and still stiff and totally adjustable. Last year I got 1 new multicam and a carbon fiber versions and they made some nice upgrades to the buckles. One of the best purchases ever made.
Every review I read (before I bought) the Kore gun belt turned out to be true. I never thought I would be so “in love” with a belt! But this product exceeds my expectations! My other belts are all now history! Even if I'm not carrying... I still wear this belt everyday. Nothing more stylish and comfortable. Superb job Kore Essentials! Simply the best!
Very fast delivery, informed each step of the way. Easy enough to size with a decent pair of scissors. Nice quality, stylish for a gun belt, very happy. Lets not forget the track for a perfect fit every time. Thanks Kore
I am the director/Lead Instructor at Blue Ridge Marksmanship and recently tested out a Kore Essentials leather gun belt/ X3 buckle for just over 21 days. Since I carry a full size Smith and Wesson M&P as my EDC gun, carried at either AIWB or 3 o’clock IWB, I wanted a belt/buckle that ‘blended in’ and didn’t draw attention to the fact that I am carrying. It was subjected to an absurd test for a leather belt as it was worn 10-12 hours, almost every day, instructing firearms, in the rain, humid conditions, on the range, dropping trees, performing range maintenance AND at business meetings. The Kore Essentials belt performed unbelievably; always maintaining shape, constantly allowing a smooth/fast draw and the belt looked good enough to be worn with slacks to professional events at the end of the testing. This is one beast of a belt that can handle anything you throw at it and will come out looking new!
This is my first and last belt i'll ever buy.. I never had any type of gun belt and I needed one for my new p10c. I received my new kore belt in the mail about 5 business days after buying it and opened it immediately and wore it. I wore it with no gun at first because i wanted to try it without it and see how comfortable it is. It is the most comfortable belt I've ever worn, it kept my pants up, and it was super light! I love it! It is the Alpha and Omega of belts. I am already looking at buying another kore belt !! Worth the money and time!!
I am very happy with both of my Kore gun belts. They support weight the way I need them to daily. The function is sleek, innovative, and reliable! Best of all, it looks as good as it works. KORE really knocked it out of the park with trakline system.
Best belt I've ever worn! I bought the KORE belt to be worn for casual and dress wear, and as a gun belt for concealed carry. It's an outstanding belt for all of these applications! As a dress belt it looks as good as (or better than) any I've worn to date. It's looks the part for even the most casual clothes. Being able to adjust its fit by 1/4" increments allows for a perfect fit for any clothing, and for any EDC. The nylon reinforcement allows a great degree of flexibility around the waist while keeping the belt from sagging under the weight of a full size M&P9.
Just went through a CCW course this weekend running a Kore belt for the first time. Absolutely solid platform. Held up a 7-round L Frame 357 magnum like it was nothing, plus two speed loaders strong side and 3 mags for my semi-auto on the other side. Pants and gear all in place for hours. All the other guys were yanking their pants and struggling to holster, but I felt like I had a solid platform that kept my holster where I wanted it for every draw and reholster, and my rounds and mags where I needed them for every reload. Its definitely a great belt.
I've been using my Kore belt almost 2 yrs. I have the leather belt with the buckle you demonstrated. I carry a full-size S&W M&P 2.0 9mm, appendix holster every day I go out. I've had no problems at all. The belt is so easy to adjust if it's a little tight when I sit down, I can loosen a couple clicks with one hand. I recommend Kore belts.
Love this Kore belt! I bought this belt for carrying concealed after hearing great things about it from the TH-cam community. The reviews were true! It has now become my favorite belt even when I’m not carrying! It’s fashionable enough for everyday wear and doesn’t scream ‘tactical’, but strong enough to carry when I want to.
Best belt I've have ever owned I absolutely love this Kore gun belt. I am a bigger man wear size 50 pants. I also conceal carry two different firearms one a Kel-Tec PF-9 single stack. The other a Glock 26 Double Stack. This belt is amazing with its micro adjustments I can adjust it to fit properly with no twist. Excellent for driving or hopping on the bike and going for a long ride. The design and strength of this belt is unsurpassed in my opinion I purchased a second one with a little different design. I can't say enough about the quality of these belts! From now on this will be the only belt I ever buy! Thank you core Essentials for making your belts large enough to fit a big person
The belts in this video are very good. I have worn one for a few weeks now, and I love it! The small 1/4" adjustments are just what the doctor ordered. The stiffness really helps hold up a holster. It keeps the holster and gun close to the body. The adjustment mechanism is quick and easy to operate, and makes it easy to adjust for any clothes combination.
I bought a Kore-Essentials leather gun belt a little over 2.5 years ago. I've worn it as my only belt for that entire time, and it still looks good. Add to that it continues to hold up my 5lb EDC load out and, thanks to ratcheting buckle system, I get a perfect fit every time, even after eating an extra two (or 5) slices of pizza. So I'm a believer.
I have to say there is nothing more comfortable or convenient than my Kore gun belt. I came across them about a year ago while looking for an edc belt that was comfortable and rigid. I liked it so much I bought them as Christmas gifts for my father and my brother. They love them too! In fact everyone of us still use these belts on a daily basis. I just recently purchased the nylon belt (my original purchase was leather) and it's even more rigid than the leather. I love the versatility of the system too. I was able to use the buckle I already have from my previous leather Kore belt and only had to purchase the nylon portion. I carry virtually every day so I prefer having the extra rigid capability of the nylon that can support my gear. I would never buy another belt from anywhere else.
I can't believe I waited so long to buy a Kore belt. This belt works for IWB and OWB holsters. Everything from 1911s to my Glock 43. Perfect fit and no sagging! Rigid but comfortable. I wear it every day!
I just got a Kore gun belt, I love it as an edc belt. I also bought a cheap Ridge Line belt from my local tractor supply, they work just like the kore belts, I took the zip strip and buckle off the ridge line belt, then milled out a groove on my old leather gun belt for the zip strip and the buckle went on to the leather belt like it was made for it, I attached that stiffening strip left over from sizing my kore belt, I put it right where I needed the belt to be stiffer. I did all this just to see if I could pull it off, it works great. Still love my new kore belt the most.
Kore is a Fantastic Gun Belt! I am a big guy, and wear my belts tight, so I have always had issues with the leather of belts wearing out quickly or the buckle assembly coming loose and having to be re-attached. I ordered a KORE gun belt based on a co-worker's recommendation and was interested to see what it was really like. Upon arrival, the belt was easy to cut and assemble and I have been wearing it every day since my purchase. It is the most comfortable belt I have ever owned and the adjustability makes it comfortable and effective all day long. I wear suits every day for work and the stylish belt fits right into my wardrobe perfectly. I will definitely be a lifelong customer.
After having quite a few gun belts and even regular belts, the Kore belt is by far the most comfortable and easiest belt to adjust. It;s definitely worth the buy for sure and holds everything so much better then my last gun belt.
I ordered my belt last week and it came in today, I am very happy with quality and design of it, what I am not happy about is the fact that it says MADE IN CHINA on the belt and belt buckle...spend $70 on made in china ...I honestly thought everything that they made is USA made and I went and purchased the one I liked , only reason I bought from them is to support business within and wanted product that will say USA made...
I’ve gone through many gun belts and the Kore is the best I’ve found. You get perfect adjustments with the ratchet system. Thick and strong for zero movement when heavily weighted. No more pain in the a$$ cobra buckles, loud Velcro in public bathrooms, or belts with adjusting holes that are either a tad tighter or looser, this is the only belt I’ll buy. Had the leather Kore belt for years and it has held up great. This new tactical version is even stronger!
Now that's a nice belt So far so good I have had this Kore gun belt for a while now and I really like it. This is the first time that I have had a gun belt that I enjoy wearing and also can be worn with my daily work clothes. I am a salesmen and have been looking for something that I can wear at the office and not look so tactical. Supports the firearm really well and I also love the track line system, so you can adjust the belt to the way you are carrying. Either IWB or OWB and it also functions as a regular belt. Each belt does come with a carrying bag to put it in as well which I think is a nice touch. Kind of like when the wife buys a purse and it comes with a dust cover for storage!! I also like the fact that the buckles are interchangeable, when trimming the belt and putting on the buckle it does take some muscle but do not be afraid to just grip it and rip it!! I ordered a black and brown one and if they ever fail I will be back and order some more. Thank you for making a quality product and have a awesome day !!
I've been using the Kore gun belt nonstop for the last two weeks and it's so much better than a traditional gun belt. I have the reinforced version and it supports the weight of a fullty loaded Glock 19 and a radio with out any issues. It's stylish enough to be worn in any but the most formal settings and avoids the utilitarian look most gun belts have. If this belt holds up long term like I think it will I will not hesitate to buy another.
Kore makes the Ultimate gun belts. I own 4 of them and have been using my original one for years. They combine the genius of employing a ratcheting system to cinch down the most minute tension to perfectly hold your firearm against your body, with the most robust rigidness of the TACTICAL series belts to make the last belt you'll ever need! Seriously, they are that good! I'm ratcheting the belt and loosening it a dozen times a day and I don't know how I ever had done without it. The new X3 buckle looks great but can hang up when initially feeding the belt through, so I personally prefer the X1 or X2 for smoother operation. For my tastes, nobody else offers anything close with there quality and selection.
I got a Kore gun belt and it's the best all purpose belt ever. I love how easy it is to micro adjust during the day or even while sitting in the car or at a big dinner. Way better than belt holes. The inner core has more than enough integrity to hold up anything I’ve thought to test it with. The only thing I would recommend is don't fold the belt over, instead hang the belt using their belt hanger or coil it. Re-tightening the belt is as simple as pushing the cinching side into the buckle ratchet which can be done upon standing up and after re-tucking in ones shirt. One unexpected benefit of my new belt is that if I leave it on a pair of work pants it makes them easy to hang up on a hook the night before but also put on in the morning as the belt holds the pants in shape to easily step into.
I am wearing a Kore belt now in fact. As President and CEO of a Armed Security Company I'm very active in the field. Too often Security Personnel overlook the importance of a great belt that carries all of our required gear. I carry a Springfield Armory Tactical 45 with approx 50 rounds of ammo, handcuffs, radio etc. and my basic duty load is very comfortable now. I actually recommend that all my Operators use it.
My Kore belt is by far the best gun belt I've purchased. I wear it everyday with full size and compact firearms. The adjustable track on the belt is genius. This belt gives you the most comfortable and secure fit I've ever had. It's a good feeling knowing that you have a belt that will support your firearm, holster, extra magazines and give you a smooth draw.
These Kore belts are the BEST BELTS I have ever owned. I absolutely love them! I find myself easily readjusting the belts throughout the day, while wearing them, to coincide with different activities. Very comfortable and they look great. I have plans to order another buckle.
Simply amazing , been wearing a kore belt since December and it’s still just as strong as it was the day i unpackaged it . Perfect mix of stiff and comfortable
Yes Kore belts are phenomenal. The fact is this belt is rugged as hell. So cutting through it to size it took some effort! The locking mechanism is rock solid, Adjusting is easy, stylish, and holds my HK perfectly!
This Kore gun belt is great. Quality workmanship and works as advertised. I'm using it to carry a 1911 5", it carries it well and the small adjustments are a great feature. Buckle release took a little while to get use to. Great feature is that it will fit the belt loops on Milt Sparks holsters, while still providing the support needed.
Talon is right Kore belts are awesome edc belts. I have a black leather that's over 2 years old and looks great still and a tan tactical about a year old and like new that i use most now. For me you cant beat the track for adjusting it to your exact waist and the quality of these belts is stellar. So wether with my glock 17 set up or not carrying I wear these.
I bought a black leather gun belt from Kore a few months ago and it's great. I had to go with a brown leather to complete the wardrobe. Excellent support for IWB carry. The micro track adjustments make a huge difference for me.
Here's why I got a Kore belt, and why I will buy several more of them. I have carried concealed daily, in one capacity or another, for over 20 years, and most of that time for 12 hours or more per day. I have used every conceivable type of belt and holster system out there, including numerous high-quality belts designed specifically as ‘gun belts’. In spite of some of the rave reviews I heard about the Kore belts before buying one, I remained skeptical, but that changed as soon as I put one on and wore it for my first few days. I found that the Kore belt allowed me to carry securely and discreetly, but were incredibly comfortable and durable for extended periods of time. They also allow me to easily and discreetly adjust the belts’ tightness & fit according to my position, level of activity, or situational need, loosening slightly while sitting at my desk or in the truck, tightening to provide more support while active, etc. I initially purchased 2 belts, 1 tactical black & 1 dress brown, and will be purchasing an additional for my deployment bag(s) as well.
Awesome gun belt! The Kore gun belt is very well made...you can wear it with a shirt and tie or with jeans and a T-shirt...simple adjustments make it easy to loosen after a big meal or tighten after getting rid of one. Would recommend to anyone who conceals a gun for sure.
I have many “tactical” gun belts and my kore belt is by far the best. Having the ability to adjust the belt so easily and in such small increments makes all the difference when carrying a firearm.
I never really had a dedicated concealed carry belt. I did some research and stumbled upon these Kore belts. Easy to customize the length of the belt and attach the buckle. The buckle attachment is very secure. This belt has it all...customizable length, holds holsters close to the body, sturdy and looks good! What sets it apart is it's "zip tie" type buckle/belt design. This belt can adjust in smaller increments than a traditional belt and it's not going to loosen while locked in place. Need more time to evaluate the overall durability of this belt but so far this belt has exceeded all of my expectations! A serious contender for one of the best concealed carry gun belts out there!
I actually own 4 Kore belts. I wont buy another from any other manufacturer. I have two dress belts (non-gun) and two of their edc gun belts. The gun belts hold my full size duty arm just right. No sagging or warping from the weight. I am 5'11" and 250 lbs. The levers and release are strong!!! So as you can tell, I highly recommend them! Even my father and father in-law are now hooked since I gifted them one last Christmas.
I have a kore gun belt and its extremely comfortable and the quality is unmatched. Really the best belt I have ever had. Never had anything like it before. Outstanding quality on the buckel. I gave my girlfriend my second leather belt and it is flawless. She loves it and has no complaints.
I use the nylon belt for daily wear and IWB in multiple positions, this thing is amazing. Great company to deal with and fast shipping too. Just stop searching for the perfect belt, this is it.
I've used my Kore Essentials gun belt for almost 2 years and I still love it. I open carry a Sig full size 1911 45 ACP. The belt carries the weight of my Sig perfectly. Frankly it's the best gun belt that I have ever owned hands down.
This belt makes a difference I never gave a “gun belt” for CCW wear much of a thought. After wearing this Kore gun belt I have to say it does make a difference. Much more comfortable and secure for EDC.
I think these Kore belts are fantastic. I have both tactical belts and plan to purchase more, such as the leather ones for dress clothes. The are easy to use and can make adjustments quickly. And one of the best parts is that no one knows it is a gun belt. Definate 5 star ratings. Great quality for anyone looking for a new edc belt.
I purchased a Kore gun belt after being disappointed in the quality of a competitors gun belts. I found the company after stumbling across a TH-cam review and I have to say I couldn’t be happier with my entire experience. I placed my order on a Wednesday and by Friday my belts had arrived. This belt is by far the best CCW belt I have ever used and has made my EDC so much more comfortable and enjoyable. The problem I face when carrying is I am a big guy but have a little waist so I generally fall in between belt holes on traditional belts so I either have to wear the belt too tight or too loose. Adding a weapon to this situation can make for a very unpleasant experience. The ratchet system combined with the stiffness of the Kore Essentials belt has been a complete game changer for me. I honestly couldn’t be happier with my entire experience dealing with Kore Essentials and will be a life long customer.
Between the military and Law Enforcement I have carried both open and concealed for 5 decades. And in that time never have I had a belt that held my weapon tight, close, comfortable and consistently like this Kore belt does. Now I am 73 years old, carry my Glock 19 daily and my son is waiting for me to pass so he can grab my belt. I should probably buy him one. It lives up to it's hype!
Back for an update after a year of use. Glock 43, 48, and 19 every day for 10 to 14 hours. Zero signs of wear, stretch or any other detrimental news to report. I am only updating this because I am ordering another one before they are new and improved and not as robust. Thanks Kore for delivering what you advertised. I cannot think of any manufacturer that delivers 100% of what they advertise! Well done Kore and to my MANY brothers is Blue. Don't trust their warranty, trust me, if it doesn't do what I SAID IT DOES, I will refund your money! Period.
Just bought my 4th Kore gun belt ! Thats 2 tactical and 2 leather gun belts and they work awesome. A lot easier that to adjust than other belts I've had. I like it because if I am wearing a firearm, I dont need as much slack and can remove it easily. If I add a tool or firearm to my belt, it takes two seconds to put these on. They are great products and great quality!
Just got one for Christmas. Then another for my birthday cause my family saw how much I loved the first one. My Galco was work out but I had no idea what I was missing.
I recently bought a Kore Tactical. And...Holy crap! When people would say how much a good belt means, I took them at their word, but had no idea, really. Now I do. This is not just a "good belt" - its the best belt. Anyone looking for a belt (especially for CCW ) need to look no further than any of Kore's gun belts. It is the best.
I just purchased a Kore Essentials X2 Leather Gun Belt and it is awesome! I could not be happier with it. Looks great, feels great, and most of all it works!
Kore belts rock!!!! I will say it again....I own 4 Kore belts and I wont buy another from any other manufacture. I have two dress belts and two reinforced gun belts. The gun belts hold my full size duty arm just right. No sagging or warping from the weight. I am 5'11" and 250 lbs. The levers and release are strong!!! I highly recommend! My father and father in-law are now hooked since I got them one for last Christmas. And they have Good ole fashioned great customer service as well
First off I’m a bigger guy! I’ve always had issues with my belt not holding my pants up and almost miserable to carry concealed OWB or IWB. So I have to admit I was skeptical about purchasing a Kore belt. But after a few weeks of wearing it all day. It is amazing!!! Absolutely love it and I'm planning on ordering another one.
I have 5 gun belts from Kore essentials. I have 3 leather belts (different buckles, black and brown) and both tactical belts (black and tan). They’re great! Better than other “track lock” type belts and the only track gun belts I know of.
This Kore essentials belt is better than I expected. I was afraid the buckle would be bulky and uncomfortable and to my pleasant surprise it is flush fitting and built with EXCELLENT quality. I actually just ordered a second one.
I use a Kore gun belt and it's awesome. I highly RECOMMEND this BELT. Good materials and fit and finish is well put together. I've stop wearing my 5.11 belts now that I have the Kore belts.
I had mine (the new design) for 14 months before it finally split in two right in the small of my back. Just ordered another one and wished I had seen this video first so I could have used the coupon code. Love their belts and even if they all break just out of warranty, I will still go back and buy again every time.
I have 3 of these belts now. They look great , hold the firearm snug and the ease of adjusting is simple and can be done sitting or standing without removing 1 end to get to the next hole like the old style belts. Just buy one and all your old belts will be used for work around the house. I bought another 2 for gifts. At a restaurant ? pants getting a little tight? just 1 hand and you can add 1/4 inch for that next spare rib !
Ok so I've been using a Kore Gun Belt for almost a year now and it is still like I just pulled it out of the box! I wear it with my IWB holster every single day and the belt has continued to hold its shape where the loops attach and where it goes around my holster. It stays tight and doesn't slip on the trak-line as other belts I've used have done. As far as I am concerned, it's the best edc belt I've found.
I bought this Kore gun belt to carry my Glock 19 with but it obviously does very well with my Kahr also. I have been wearing it to work also just on a normal day where i can't carry. It's a very comfortable belt, that sizes perfectly to your waist.
Holy smokes, man. Bought one of these on your recommendation. Within 15 minutes of adjusting and putting it on I was back on their website buying two more. Fantastic belts.
Excellent gun belt for everyday use The Kore gun belt is the best belt I own. I will definitely be purchasing another in the future. It keeps my IWB holster firmly in place.
Awesome Kore CCW Belt The Kore belt and buckle has a quality finish that doesn't look like your average gun belt. The belt has great reinforcement to keep my OWB holster from rolling over when holstering or unholstering my weapon. It creates a very comfortable all day carry with the numerous small adjusting points and is very easy to make quick adjustments without showing your CCW. My next purchase will be the nylon style gun belt once it is released to the website. Keep up the great work KORE !
I have had my Kore belt for 2 Years now and it still holds up to my Glock 30 that I carry every day. I liked it so much I bought my son one and he doesn't even carry. Give them a try I dont think you will find a better belt.
Purchased two of the leather gun belts with X3 buckles and the belt hanger about 6 months ago. They're attractive enough and well made for the price, the largest benefit of this option over others being the reduced bulk in the buckle area, which is why I originally went to try these out. My biggest issue is that the reinforced core does not extend all the way around the belt: the 10" length with the notches is not reinforced, which is a critical area for carrying a gun, particularly for AIWB carry. Aside from that these are decent belts for the money, just not if you're carrying a 30oz gun or probably any gun, so points are lost on the "Gun Belt" side of things. The other downsides are that the buckle pinches and is not comfortable if it is shifted to an off center of your body, the primary pinch point being at my hip bones. Lastly, the edges will dent where the weight of the buckle rests and where the clips of your holster ride, which is not a huge deal but might be an issue if you plan to use this as a double-duty gun belt and a formal belt. The tactical belt line is different in that they extended the reinforced section on those, but until they update the leather belts that way it's not worth it. I've found myself going back to my traditional study 1.5" leather belt from Hank's Belts for both comfort and effectiveness. I'm excited about this technology but it's not there yet. Summary: not worth it if you are carrying anything larger than a subcompact pistol. Pretty solid if you're looking for a sturdy belt that you don't plan on strapping a gun onto. The biggest thing to remember is that the all leather gun belts are not the same as their tactical belts.
I was in the market for a sturdy, reliable belt that wasn’t going to break the bank. I was always told to lean towards heavy duty riggers belts but the tactical look was never what I aimed for. My friend told me about this new belt he had bought and how it has 40 adjustments at an 1/8 inch and it holds his full size ccw in place all day so I had to check it out. I was so impressed with the KORE Essentials belt that he had purchased it was an easy choice to purchase one for myself. After wearing the belt for about a week now I can say with full confidence that I trust this belt to carry my firearm in a sturdy position without sagging or deforming at all. It’s a classy, normal looking belt that has a bad *** side to it. In all, my purchase experience was amazing. The belt was shipped and arrived to my door within a few days and that includes processing and shipping time. I rate this belt and company 5/5 and I can say with full confidence I will be wearing a KORE belt for years to come.
I spent a lot of time researching gun belts for my first carry concealed belt, And I am very glad I went with the Kore X2 belt, although it did take a little getting used to releasing the belt but once you do a few times it’s easy just a different action then used too. So my overall rating is a solid 5 stars.
After trying 4 different traditional gun belts, my Kore belt is the perfect one for a CCW. It's got perfect adjustment, great quality and is the most comfortable. My opinion.
I bought a trayvax belt from your recommendation, but if it doesn't work for me, I'll give this one a try. I would like to say I truly enjoy they way you present things. I'm 52 and as I get older I'm impatient, but you get to the point and you keep my attention, THANK YOU!! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm a former state trooper and current range safety officer and firearm instructor, so I wear a firearm almost everyday, and I use a Kore gun belt. They're easy and quick to get on and off and the ability to adjust how tight the belt is makes them comfortable to wear. Whether carrying IWB or OWB the fit and feel is great. Belts are high quality leather that also look great allowing me to wear them with dress clothes as well. I actually recommend them to customers at my range whenever I can, not just for carry but for any occasion.
I bought a Kore belt after your first video and I absolutely love it. I adopted a minimalist lifestyle early last year and now I only have two belts. This and the one made by Trayvax that you reviewed before. This is my go-to belt though. Hands down. I'm very happy with my purchase.
I love my Kore Essentials belts! I've been wearing the X1 black ccw version for about a year and a half, almost everyday with jeans and with dress clothes. The leather is in excellent shape, but I decided to replace the buckle as it had a few scratches from normal wear and tear. The new buckle made the entire belt feel like brand new. And, I don't know if they have changed how they make the buckles, but it feels even more high quality than the original buckle I had. Highly recommend Kore belts !
I just ordered a black nylon (Just the belt because I still have 2 other buckles) I loved the original black leather version which lasted years with heavy use before the interior core pieces eventually broke. Im hard on my gear and use it daily so replacing it for 30 bucks every 2-3 years is great value IMO. I’m a “operator” type who usually wears jeans or BDU’s so I’m super happy they released a nylon version! Great video!
4:40, this is exactly what i wanted to f find out. I didn't know what the belt keeper was for, you explained this perfectly. Nothing on their website shows you how and why I would need one.
I had the black nylone nextbelt supreme and 3 months in it proved to be a supreme pile of dog dodo. Whole belt started to fray along the red notches on the inside and that thing came apart in a months time. My nextbelt after that is a black kore and it is much better constructed belt and just as slim butmore supportive than my nextbelt was.
My Kore gun belts are without a doubt the best I've ever worn. I have 3 of them and they're consistently a fantastic product. Tough, durable, reliable. Flexible around the waist and rigid under weight regardless of the pistol carried. You'd be hard pressed to do better than a Kore gun belt.
I was one of the dudes that you actually recommended the Kore Essentials gun belts for in your EDC. Been wearing it ever since. Great belts and I'm glad they send you free swag
Thanks Brah I’m a 65YR old retired LE patrol Lt trying to do some three gun competition. Spotted your channel I like your down and dirty reviews. . I subscribed. Tell the company to keep making BIG BELTS I SHIT WHEN YOU SAID YOUR WAIST LINE. WAS THAT waist size IN HIGHSCHOOL IN 1969. I bought two belts…….CARRY ON BRAH….
Talon I have 3 of these belts now and can tell you they are hard to beat. My coworkers and I live in gun belts because we work in a gun shop and open carry. Personally I have a custom 1911 thats OWB so comfort and support is paramount to me. I have yet to find another belt that does it as well as these kore belts to be honest. And yes we sell them in our shop for $59.
I have one of their older style tracline belts, and the polymer inner liner has split apart where my rear belt loop is, All my normal leather belts have worn out in the same place. I'd prefer the polymer to be a little thicker or more pliable so the polymer wont break in the same place again. I plan on buying from them again for my next belt.
My wife just got my 3rd Kore Essenitals belt in coyote tan and its even nicer than my black one I got 2 yrs ago. Thats why I love her. These are Legit for ccw use.
Not only is this the best gun belt I've ever worn, it is THE BEST BELT I have ever worn hands down. Your firearm, holster, and pants won't move a bit with this belt. So comfy.
For those who can't read the description... *These belts will be available Nov. 20th!* The ones I have shown are prototypes and they are improving on the design. Thanks to everyone else who actually read the video descriptions I write on every video lol
Cheers 🍻
Talon Sei hey bro love the videos I was wondering if those belts are good for work pants like dickies mechanic type pants. Does the belt fit in the loops pretty good or is the belt to big. Just wondering cause I would love to get one.
+ROY LOPEZ it should work fine with Dickies 👍🏻
Dec 28th... still not Available... guess their shipping the order via horseback from China.
The newest version has TAPERED ENDS and comes with a BELT KEEPER to keep the tip next to your waist. Thanks to Talon Sei for the informative review.
KORE BRAND I got the tan gun belt and x3 buckle, I have to say. I love it. Wear it everyday on the railroad, don’t even feel it. I was actually recommending it for an off duty belt to one of my LE friends today. Thanks
Talon Kore now sells USA made belts Just picked one up in tactical od green and super nice even better than there reg belts I am planning to get a leather one next for work.
My smart wife bought me a set of 2 of these belts last summer and I love em. After you wear them a week you cant go back to your old belts. They click to your waist so nicely.
I'm a Police Officer and got a Kore gun belt for Christmas. It's definitely the BEST BELT I've ever owned, for on and off duty use. The incremental adjustments and stiffness/load bearing are absolutely amazing. I've been telling and showing it off to everyone in my department and they all are wanting one. I will be getting more.
So how did it hold up after all these years?
My tactical nylon 1.5 inch delaminated just over a year and a half of use. Had to melt outer layer back to Core layer in order to pass the belt through the buckle. Other wise major jam issues.
Customer service only offered to give 20% off a new belt that will delaminate over time / use.
Otherwise I did like it alot
My Kore belt is great, it looks really good and can be worn with dress cloths. When it comes to the use of carrying a gun it does a great job at that as well, it is very rigid and will not flex even when supporting a gun I carry a glock 19 gen 5 and it holds the weight perfectly, the Kore track line system is the best thing about it there are a ton of minute increments so you get the perfect fit unlike most belts, it's very sturdy and has a quick release, I have recommended this belt to everyone I know, whether they carry a gun or not.
I have been in LE for 25+ years in the Chicago area. I'm in a suit most days so I wear the black leather belt version with the buckle that resembles a regular buckle. It's plenty stiff for my needs and yet not too stiff so that it's comfortable all day. I have to have a solid belt that I can sit in, walk in and will hold my service gear, cuffs, etc. The secret is the way in which this belt adjusts that makes it work like a dream. There's no way I can go back to my old leather belts with holes anymore now that I know there's better.
I got my first Kore EDC belt about 4 years ago and it quickly became my permanent carry belt. The leather option was the only option originally and after 4 years it still looks brand new despite daily use of several different types of holster and different sizes firearms. I finally got one of the new model nylon belts and it is even better than the leather and will be my new daily belt. I've been recommending Kore gun belts to anyone that asks for years now.
Talon I bought 2 kore belts after seeing this review in 2017 and want to say THANKS!!!
These are the BEst damn belts I ever had. All of the guys in my family wear them now and love them. My original ones are 5 years old and still work really well and still stiff and totally adjustable. Last year I got 1 new multicam and a carbon fiber versions and they made some nice upgrades to the buckles. One of the best purchases ever made.
Every review I read (before I bought) the Kore gun belt turned out to be true. I never thought I would be so “in love” with a belt! But this product exceeds my expectations! My other belts are all now history! Even if I'm not carrying... I still wear this belt everyday. Nothing more stylish and comfortable. Superb job Kore Essentials! Simply the best!
Very fast delivery, informed each step of the way. Easy enough to size with a decent pair of scissors. Nice quality, stylish for a gun belt, very happy. Lets not forget the track for a perfect fit every time. Thanks Kore
I am the director/Lead Instructor at Blue Ridge Marksmanship and recently tested out a Kore Essentials leather gun belt/ X3 buckle for just over 21 days. Since I carry a full size Smith and Wesson M&P as my EDC gun, carried at either AIWB or 3 o’clock IWB, I wanted a belt/buckle that ‘blended in’ and didn’t draw attention to the fact that I am carrying. It was subjected to an absurd test for a leather belt as it was worn 10-12 hours, almost every day, instructing firearms, in the rain, humid conditions, on the range, dropping trees, performing range maintenance AND at business meetings. The Kore Essentials belt performed unbelievably; always maintaining shape, constantly allowing a smooth/fast draw and the belt looked good enough to be worn with slacks to professional events at the end of the testing. This is one beast of a belt that can handle anything you throw at it and will come out looking new!
This is my first and last belt i'll ever buy.. I never had any type of gun belt and I needed one for my new p10c. I received my new kore belt in the mail about 5 business days after buying it and opened it immediately and wore it. I wore it with no gun at first because i wanted to try it without it and see how comfortable it is. It is the most comfortable belt I've ever worn, it kept my pants up, and it was super light! I love it! It is the Alpha and Omega of belts. I am already looking at buying another kore belt !! Worth the money and time!!
I've had mine for like 2 years and wear it a lot no matter if I carry. It's my favorite belt ever.
I am very happy with both of my Kore gun belts. They support weight the way I need them to daily. The function is sleek, innovative, and reliable! Best of all, it looks as good as it works. KORE really knocked it out of the park with trakline system.
Best belt I've ever worn!
I bought the KORE belt to be worn for casual and dress wear, and as a gun belt for concealed carry. It's an outstanding belt for all of these applications! As a dress belt it looks as good as (or better than) any I've worn to date. It's looks the part for even the most casual clothes. Being able to adjust its fit by 1/4" increments allows for a perfect fit for any clothing, and for any EDC. The nylon reinforcement allows a great degree of flexibility around the waist while keeping the belt from sagging under the weight of a full size M&P9.
Just went through a CCW course this weekend running a Kore belt for the first time. Absolutely solid platform. Held up a 7-round L Frame 357 magnum like it was nothing, plus two speed loaders strong side and 3 mags for my semi-auto on the other side. Pants and gear all in place for hours. All the other guys were yanking their pants and struggling to holster, but I felt like I had a solid platform that kept my holster where I wanted it for every draw and reholster, and my rounds and mags where I needed them for every reload. Its definitely a great belt.
I've been using my Kore belt almost 2 yrs. I have the leather belt with the buckle you demonstrated. I carry a full-size S&W M&P 2.0 9mm, appendix holster every day I go out. I've had no problems at all. The belt is so easy to adjust if it's a little tight when I sit down, I can loosen a couple clicks with one hand. I recommend Kore belts.
Love this Kore belt!
I bought this belt for carrying concealed after hearing great things about it from the TH-cam community. The reviews were true! It has now become my favorite belt even when I’m not carrying! It’s fashionable enough for everyday wear and doesn’t scream ‘tactical’, but strong enough to carry when I want to.
Best belt I've have ever owned
I absolutely love this Kore gun belt. I am a bigger man wear size 50 pants. I also conceal carry two different firearms one a Kel-Tec PF-9 single stack. The other a Glock 26 Double Stack. This belt is amazing with its micro adjustments I can adjust it to fit properly with no twist. Excellent for driving or hopping on the bike and going for a long ride. The design and strength of this belt is unsurpassed in my opinion I purchased a second one with a little different design. I can't say enough about the quality of these belts! From now on this will be the only belt I ever buy! Thank you core Essentials for making your belts large enough to fit a big person
The belts in this video are very good. I have worn one for a few weeks now, and I love it! The small 1/4" adjustments are just what the doctor ordered. The stiffness really helps hold up a holster. It keeps the holster and gun close to the body. The adjustment mechanism is quick and easy to operate, and makes it easy to adjust for any clothes combination.
I bought a Kore-Essentials leather gun belt a little over 2.5 years ago. I've worn it as my only belt for that entire time, and it still looks good. Add to that it continues to hold up my 5lb EDC load out and, thanks to ratcheting buckle system, I get a perfect fit every time, even after eating an extra two (or 5) slices of pizza. So I'm a believer.
I have to say there is nothing more comfortable or convenient than my Kore gun belt. I came across them about a year ago while looking for an edc belt that was comfortable and rigid. I liked it so much I bought them as Christmas gifts for my father and my brother. They love them too! In fact everyone of us still use these belts on a daily basis. I just recently purchased the nylon belt (my original purchase was leather) and it's even more rigid than the leather. I love the versatility of the system too. I was able to use the buckle I already have from my previous leather Kore belt and only had to purchase the nylon portion. I carry virtually every day so I prefer having the extra rigid capability of the nylon that can support my gear. I would never buy another belt from anywhere else.
Purchased 2 belts from them about 4 years ago in 2019 and never had belts this nice!!! Still wear them every day to cc.
I can't believe I waited so long to buy a Kore belt. This belt works for IWB and OWB holsters. Everything from 1911s to my Glock 43. Perfect fit and no sagging! Rigid but comfortable. I wear it every day!
I just got a Kore gun belt, I love it as an edc belt. I also bought a cheap Ridge Line belt from my local tractor supply, they work just like the kore belts, I took the zip strip and buckle off the ridge line belt, then milled out a groove on my old leather gun belt for the zip strip and the buckle went on to the leather belt like it was made for it, I attached that stiffening strip left over from sizing my kore belt, I put it right where I needed the belt to be stiffer. I did all this just to see if I could pull it off, it works great. Still love my new kore belt the most.
Kore is a Fantastic Gun Belt!
I am a big guy, and wear my belts tight, so I have always had issues with the leather of belts wearing out quickly or the buckle assembly coming loose and having to be re-attached. I ordered a KORE gun belt based on a co-worker's recommendation and was interested to see what it was really like. Upon arrival, the belt was easy to cut and assemble and I have been wearing it every day since my purchase. It is the most comfortable belt I have ever owned and the adjustability makes it comfortable and effective all day long. I wear suits every day for work and the stylish belt fits right into my wardrobe perfectly. I will definitely be a lifelong customer.
After having quite a few gun belts and even regular belts, the Kore belt is by far the most comfortable and easiest belt to adjust. It;s definitely worth the buy for sure and holds everything so much better then my last gun belt.
I ordered my belt last week and it came in today, I am very happy with quality and design of it, what I am not happy about is the fact that it says MADE IN CHINA on the belt and belt buckle...spend $70 on made in china ...I honestly thought everything that they made is USA made and I went and purchased the one I liked , only reason I bought from them is to support business within and wanted product that will say USA made...
I’ve gone through many gun belts and the Kore is the best I’ve found. You get perfect adjustments with the ratchet system. Thick and strong for zero movement when heavily weighted. No more pain in the a$$ cobra buckles, loud Velcro in public bathrooms, or belts with adjusting holes that are either a tad tighter or looser, this is the only belt I’ll buy. Had the leather Kore belt for years and it has held up great. This new tactical version is even stronger!
Now that's a nice belt
So far so good I have had this Kore gun belt for a while now and I really like it. This is the first time that I have had a gun belt that I enjoy wearing and also can be worn with my daily work clothes. I am a salesmen and have been looking for something that I can wear at the office and not look so tactical. Supports the firearm really well and I also love the track line system, so you can adjust the belt to the way you are carrying. Either IWB or OWB and it also functions as a regular belt. Each belt does come with a carrying bag to put it in as well which I think is a nice touch. Kind of like when the wife buys a purse and it comes with a dust cover for storage!! I also like the fact that the buckles are interchangeable, when trimming the belt and putting on the buckle it does take some muscle but do not be afraid to just grip it and rip it!! I ordered a black and brown one and if they ever fail I will be back and order some more. Thank you for making a quality product and have a awesome day !!
I've been using the Kore gun belt nonstop for the last two weeks and it's so much better than a traditional gun belt. I have the reinforced version and it supports the weight of a fullty loaded Glock 19 and a radio with out any issues. It's stylish enough to be worn in any but the most formal settings and avoids the utilitarian look most gun belts have. If this belt holds up long term like I think it will I will not hesitate to buy another.
Kore makes the Ultimate gun belts. I own 4 of them and have been using my original one for years. They combine the genius of employing a ratcheting system to cinch down the most minute tension to perfectly hold your firearm against your body, with the most robust rigidness of the TACTICAL series belts to make the last belt you'll ever need! Seriously, they are that good! I'm ratcheting the belt and loosening it a dozen times a day and I don't know how I ever had done without it. The new X3 buckle looks great but can hang up when initially feeding the belt through, so I personally prefer the X1 or X2 for smoother operation. For my tastes, nobody else offers anything close with there quality and selection.
I got a Kore gun belt and it's the best all purpose belt ever. I love how easy it is to micro adjust during the day or even while sitting in the car or at a big dinner. Way better than belt holes. The inner core has more than enough integrity to hold up anything I’ve thought to test it with. The only thing I would recommend is don't fold the belt over, instead hang the belt using their belt hanger or coil it. Re-tightening the belt is as simple as pushing the cinching side into the buckle ratchet which can be done upon standing up and after re-tucking in ones shirt. One unexpected benefit of my new belt is that if I leave it on a pair of work pants it makes them easy to hang up on a hook the night before but also put on in the morning as the belt holds the pants in shape to easily step into.
I am wearing a Kore belt now in fact. As President and CEO of a Armed Security Company I'm very active in the field. Too often Security Personnel overlook the importance of a great belt that carries all of our required gear. I carry a Springfield Armory Tactical 45 with approx 50 rounds of ammo, handcuffs, radio etc. and my basic duty load is very comfortable now. I actually recommend that all my Operators use it.
My Kore belt is by far the best gun belt I've purchased. I wear it everyday with full size and compact firearms. The adjustable track on the belt is genius. This belt gives you the most comfortable and secure fit I've ever had. It's a good feeling knowing that you have a belt that will support your firearm, holster, extra magazines and give you a smooth draw.
So how did it hold up after all these years?
i would like to know the final disposition as well.
These Kore belts are the BEST BELTS I have ever owned. I absolutely love them! I find myself easily readjusting the belts throughout the day, while wearing them, to coincide with different activities. Very comfortable and they look great. I have plans to order another buckle.
Simply amazing , been wearing a kore belt since December and it’s still just as strong as it was the day i unpackaged it . Perfect mix of stiff and comfortable
Yes Kore belts are phenomenal. The fact is this belt is rugged as hell. So cutting through it to size it took some effort! The locking mechanism is rock solid, Adjusting is easy, stylish, and holds my HK perfectly!
This Kore gun belt is great. Quality workmanship and works as advertised. I'm using it to carry a 1911 5", it carries it well and the small adjustments are a great feature. Buckle release took a little while to get use to. Great feature is that it will fit the belt loops on Milt Sparks holsters, while still providing the support needed.
Talon is right Kore belts are awesome edc belts. I have a black leather that's over 2 years old and looks great still and a tan tactical about a year old and like new that i use most now. For me you cant beat the track for adjusting it to your exact waist and the quality of these belts is stellar. So wether with my glock 17 set up or not carrying I wear these.
I bought a black leather gun belt from Kore a few months ago and it's great. I had to go with a brown leather to complete the wardrobe. Excellent support for IWB carry. The micro track adjustments make a huge difference for me.
Here's why I got a Kore belt, and why I will buy several more of them. I have carried concealed daily, in one capacity or another, for over 20 years, and most of that time for 12 hours or more per day. I have used every conceivable type of belt and holster system out there, including numerous high-quality belts designed specifically as ‘gun belts’. In spite of some of the rave reviews I heard about the Kore belts before buying one, I remained skeptical, but that changed as soon as I put one on and wore it for my first few days.
I found that the Kore belt allowed me to carry securely and discreetly, but were incredibly comfortable and durable for extended periods of time. They also allow me to easily and discreetly adjust the belts’ tightness & fit according to my position, level of activity, or situational need, loosening slightly while sitting at my desk or in the truck, tightening to provide more support while active, etc. I initially purchased 2 belts, 1 tactical black & 1 dress brown, and will be purchasing an additional for my deployment bag(s) as well.
Awesome gun belt!
The Kore gun belt is very well made...you can wear it with a shirt and tie or with jeans and a T-shirt...simple adjustments make it easy to loosen after a big meal or tighten after getting rid of one. Would recommend to anyone who conceals a gun for sure.
I have many “tactical” gun belts and my kore belt is by far the best. Having the ability to adjust the belt so easily and in such small increments makes all the difference when carrying a firearm.
I never really had a dedicated concealed carry belt. I did some research and stumbled upon these Kore belts. Easy to customize the length of the belt and attach the buckle. The buckle attachment is very secure. This belt has it all...customizable length, holds holsters close to the body, sturdy and looks good! What sets it apart is it's "zip tie" type buckle/belt design. This belt can adjust in smaller increments than a traditional belt and it's not going to loosen while locked in place. Need more time to evaluate the overall durability of this belt but so far this belt has exceeded all of my expectations! A serious contender for one of the best concealed carry gun belts out there!
I actually own 4 Kore belts. I wont buy another from any other
manufacturer. I have two dress belts (non-gun) and two of their edc gun belts.
The gun belts hold my full size duty arm just right. No sagging or warping from
the weight. I am 5'11" and 250 lbs. The levers and release are strong!!!
So as you can tell, I highly recommend them! Even my father and father
in-law are now hooked since I gifted them one last Christmas.
I have a kore gun belt and its extremely comfortable and the quality is unmatched. Really the best belt I have ever had. Never had anything like it before. Outstanding quality on the buckel. I gave my girlfriend my second leather belt and it is flawless. She loves it and has no complaints.
I use the nylon belt for daily wear and IWB in multiple positions, this thing is amazing. Great company to deal with and fast shipping too. Just stop searching for the perfect belt, this is it.
I've used my Kore Essentials gun belt for almost 2 years and I still love it. I open carry a Sig full size 1911 45 ACP. The belt carries the weight of my Sig perfectly. Frankly it's the best gun belt that I have ever owned hands down.
This belt makes a difference I never gave a “gun belt” for CCW wear much of a thought. After wearing this Kore gun belt I have to say it does make a difference. Much more comfortable and secure for EDC.
I think these Kore belts are fantastic. I have both tactical belts and plan to purchase more, such as the leather ones for dress clothes. The are easy to use and can make adjustments quickly. And one of the best parts is that no one knows it is a gun belt. Definate 5 star ratings. Great quality for anyone looking for a new edc belt.
I purchased a Kore gun belt after being disappointed in the quality of a competitors gun belts. I found the company after stumbling across a TH-cam review and I have to say I couldn’t be happier with my entire experience. I placed my order on a Wednesday and by Friday my belts had arrived. This belt is by far the best CCW belt I have ever used and has made my EDC so much more comfortable and enjoyable. The problem I face when carrying is I am a big guy but have a little waist so I generally fall in between belt holes on traditional belts so I either have to wear the belt too tight or too loose. Adding a weapon to this situation can make for a very unpleasant experience. The ratchet system combined with the stiffness of the Kore Essentials belt has been a complete game changer for me. I honestly couldn’t be happier with my entire experience dealing with Kore Essentials and will be a life long customer.
Between the military and Law Enforcement I have carried both open and concealed for 5 decades. And in that time never have I had a belt that held my weapon tight, close, comfortable and consistently like this Kore belt does. Now I am 73 years old, carry my Glock 19 daily and my son is waiting for me to pass so he can grab my belt. I should probably buy him one. It lives up to it's hype!
Back for an update after a year of use. Glock 43, 48, and 19 every day for 10 to 14 hours. Zero signs of wear, stretch or any other detrimental news to report. I am only updating this because I am ordering another one before they are new and improved and not as robust. Thanks Kore for delivering what you advertised. I cannot think of any manufacturer that delivers 100% of what they advertise! Well done Kore and to my MANY brothers is Blue. Don't trust their warranty, trust me, if it doesn't do what I SAID IT DOES, I will refund your money! Period.
Just bought my 4th Kore gun belt ! Thats 2 tactical and 2 leather gun belts and they work awesome. A lot easier that to adjust than other belts I've had. I like it because if I am wearing a firearm, I dont need as much slack and can remove it easily. If I add a tool or firearm to my belt, it takes two seconds to put these on. They are great products and great quality!
Just got one for Christmas. Then another for my birthday cause my family saw how much I loved the first one. My Galco was work out but I had no idea what I was missing.
Talon is correct Kore is solid and the way they fit is out of this world. And yes I love mine too.
I recently bought a Kore Tactical. And...Holy crap! When people would say how much a good belt means, I took them at their word, but had no idea, really. Now I do. This is not just a "good belt" - its the best belt. Anyone looking for a belt (especially for CCW ) need to look no further than any of Kore's gun belts. It is the best.
I just purchased a Kore Essentials X2 Leather Gun Belt and it is awesome! I could not be happier with it. Looks great, feels great, and most of all it works!
Kore belts rock!!!! I will say it again....I own 4 Kore belts
and I wont buy another from any other manufacture. I have two dress belts and
two reinforced gun belts. The gun belts hold my full size duty arm just right.
No sagging or warping from the weight. I am 5'11" and 250 lbs. The levers
and release are strong!!! I highly recommend! My father and father in-law
are now hooked since I got them one for last Christmas. And they have Good ole
fashioned great customer service as well
How does it hold up with extra magazines?
First off I’m a bigger guy! I’ve always had issues with my belt not holding my pants up and almost miserable to carry concealed OWB or IWB. So I have to admit I was skeptical about purchasing a Kore belt. But after a few weeks of wearing it all day. It is amazing!!! Absolutely love it and I'm planning on ordering another one.
I have 5 gun belts from Kore essentials. I have 3 leather belts (different buckles, black and brown) and both tactical belts (black and tan). They’re great! Better than other “track lock” type belts and the only track gun belts I know of.
This Kore essentials belt is better than I expected. I was afraid the buckle would be bulky and uncomfortable and to my pleasant surprise it is flush fitting and built with EXCELLENT quality. I actually just ordered a second one.
I use a Kore gun belt and it's awesome. I highly RECOMMEND this BELT. Good materials and fit and finish is well put together. I've stop wearing my 5.11 belts now that I have the Kore belts.
I had mine (the new design) for 14 months before it finally split in two right in the small of my back. Just ordered another one and wished I had seen this video first so I could have used the coupon code. Love their belts and even if they all break just out of warranty, I will still go back and buy again every time.
I have 3 of these belts now. They look great , hold the firearm snug and the ease of adjusting is simple and can be done sitting or standing without removing 1 end to get to the next hole like the old style belts. Just buy one and all your old belts will be used for work around the house. I bought another 2 for gifts. At a restaurant ? pants getting a little tight? just 1 hand and you can add 1/4 inch for that next spare rib !
Ok so I've been using a Kore Gun Belt for almost a year now and it is still like I just pulled it out of the box! I wear it with my IWB holster every single day and the belt has continued to hold its shape where the loops attach and where it goes around my holster. It stays tight and doesn't slip on the trak-line as other belts I've used have done. As far as I am concerned, it's the best edc belt I've found.
I bought this Kore gun belt to carry my Glock 19 with but it obviously does very well with my Kahr also. I have been wearing it to work also just on a normal day where i can't carry. It's a very comfortable belt, that sizes perfectly to your waist.
Holy smokes, man. Bought one of these on your recommendation. Within 15 minutes of adjusting and putting it on I was back on their website buying two more. Fantastic belts.
Excellent gun belt for everyday use
The Kore gun belt is the best belt I own. I will definitely be purchasing another in the future. It keeps my IWB holster firmly in place.
Awesome Kore CCW Belt
The Kore belt and buckle has a quality finish that doesn't look like your average gun belt. The belt has great reinforcement to keep my OWB holster from rolling over when holstering or unholstering my weapon. It creates a very comfortable all day carry with the numerous small adjusting points and is very easy to make quick adjustments without showing your CCW. My next purchase will be the nylon style gun belt once it is released to the website. Keep up the great work KORE !
I have had my Kore belt for 2 Years now and it still holds up to my Glock 30 that I carry every day. I liked it so much I bought my son one and he doesn't even carry. Give them a try I dont think you will find a better belt.
Purchased two of the leather gun belts with X3 buckles and the belt hanger about 6 months ago. They're attractive enough and well made for the price, the largest benefit of this option over others being the reduced bulk in the buckle area, which is why I originally went to try these out.
My biggest issue is that the reinforced core does not extend all the way around the belt: the 10" length with the notches is not reinforced, which is a critical area for carrying a gun, particularly for AIWB carry. Aside from that these are decent belts for the money, just not if you're carrying a 30oz gun or probably any gun, so points are lost on the "Gun Belt" side of things. The other downsides are that the buckle pinches and is not comfortable if it is shifted to an off center of your body, the primary pinch point being at my hip bones. Lastly, the edges will dent where the weight of the buckle rests and where the clips of your holster ride, which is not a huge deal but might be an issue if you plan to use this as a double-duty gun belt and a formal belt.
The tactical belt line is different in that they extended the reinforced section on those, but until they update the leather belts that way it's not worth it. I've found myself going back to my traditional study 1.5" leather belt from Hank's Belts for both comfort and effectiveness. I'm excited about this technology but it's not there yet.
Summary: not worth it if you are carrying anything larger than a subcompact pistol. Pretty solid if you're looking for a sturdy belt that you don't plan on strapping a gun onto. The biggest thing to remember is that the all leather gun belts are not the same as their tactical belts.
I was in the market for a sturdy, reliable belt that wasn’t going to break the bank. I was always told to lean towards heavy duty riggers belts but the tactical look was never what I aimed for. My friend told me about this new belt he had bought and how it has 40 adjustments at an 1/8 inch and it holds his full size ccw in place all day so I had to check it out. I was so impressed with the KORE Essentials belt that he had purchased it was an easy choice to purchase one for myself. After wearing the belt for about a week now I can say with full confidence that I trust this belt to carry my firearm in a sturdy position without sagging or deforming at all. It’s a classy, normal looking belt that has a bad *** side to it. In all, my purchase experience was amazing. The belt was shipped and arrived to my door within a few days and that includes processing and shipping time. I rate this belt and company 5/5 and I can say with full confidence I will be wearing a KORE belt for years to come.
I spent a lot of time researching gun belts for my first carry concealed belt, And I am very glad I went with the Kore X2 belt, although it did take a little getting used to releasing the belt but once you do a few times it’s easy just a different action then used too. So my overall rating is a solid 5 stars.
After trying 4 different traditional gun belts, my Kore belt is the perfect one for a CCW. It's got perfect adjustment, great quality and is the most comfortable. My opinion.
I bought a trayvax belt from your recommendation, but if it doesn't work for me, I'll give this one a try. I would like to say I truly enjoy they way you present things. I'm 52 and as I get older I'm impatient, but you get to the point and you keep my attention, THANK YOU!! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm a former state trooper and current range safety officer and firearm instructor, so I wear a firearm almost everyday, and I use a Kore gun belt. They're easy and quick to get on and off and the ability to adjust how tight the belt is makes them comfortable to wear. Whether carrying IWB or OWB the fit and feel is great. Belts are high quality leather that also look great allowing me to wear them with dress clothes as well. I actually recommend them to customers at my range whenever I can, not just for carry but for any occasion.

I bought a Kore belt after your first video and I absolutely love it. I adopted a minimalist lifestyle early last year and now I only have two belts. This and the one made by Trayvax that you reviewed before. This is my go-to belt though. Hands down. I'm very happy with my purchase.
I love my Kore Essentials belts! I've been wearing the X1 black ccw version for about a year and a half, almost everyday with jeans and with dress clothes. The leather is in excellent shape, but I decided to replace the buckle as it had a few scratches from normal wear and tear. The new buckle made the entire belt feel like brand new. And, I don't know if they have changed how they make the buckles, but it feels even more high quality than the original buckle I had. Highly recommend Kore belts !
I just ordered a black nylon (Just the belt because I still have 2 other buckles) I loved the original black leather version which lasted years with heavy use before the interior core pieces eventually broke. Im hard on my gear and use it daily so replacing it for 30 bucks every 2-3 years is great value IMO. I’m a “operator” type who usually wears jeans or BDU’s so I’m super happy they released a nylon version! Great video!
Just bought the Nexbelt and vary happy with mine. The buckle is nice as it has set screws as back up.

Just got mine in the mail today & love it!!!!
I plan on showing my new belt off this week to all my fellow LEO coworkers.
Thanks
I got one and love it , I can use it for my rapid force duty holster and in the process of getting another one👍
These Core belts works great. it's nice and strong. holds my double stack well.
I give it a 10 all around, it holds by carry gun very securely. The ratchet on the belt works extremely well.
4:40, this is exactly what i wanted to f find out. I didn't know what the belt keeper was for, you explained this perfectly. Nothing on their website shows you how and why I would need one.
The reviews don't lie. I have one and this kore belt kicks ass. Period. If you want the best tactical belt for the money, well you're looking at it.
I had the black nylone nextbelt supreme and 3 months in it proved to be a supreme pile of dog dodo. Whole belt started to fray along the red notches on the inside and that thing came apart in a months time. My nextbelt after that is a black kore and it is much better constructed belt and just as slim butmore supportive than my nextbelt was.
Works well and holds ur firearm and pants. Great quality I now have 2 Kore belts.
Phenomenal belt.
I own a Kore gun belt and I can tell you it's a phenomenal belt for gun holsters. They did not skimp on quality.
Agree Kore is the best made. I had the Nextbelt that I later found out was a copy belt and then then month after it broke and jammed up.
My Kore gun belts are without a doubt the best I've ever worn. I have 3 of them and they're consistently a fantastic product. Tough, durable, reliable. Flexible around the waist and rigid under weight regardless of the pistol carried. You'd be hard pressed to do better than a Kore gun belt.
I was one of the dudes that you actually recommended the Kore Essentials gun belts for in your EDC.
Been wearing it ever since. Great belts and I'm glad they send you free swag
Thanks Brah I’m a 65YR old retired LE patrol Lt trying to do some three gun competition. Spotted your channel I like your down and dirty reviews. . I subscribed. Tell the company to keep making BIG BELTS I SHIT WHEN YOU SAID YOUR WAIST LINE. WAS THAT waist size IN HIGHSCHOOL IN 1969. I bought two belts…….CARRY ON BRAH….
Talon I have 3 of these belts now and can tell you they are hard to beat. My coworkers and I live in gun belts because we work in a gun shop and open carry. Personally I have a custom 1911 thats OWB so comfort and support is paramount to me. I have yet to find another belt that does it as well as these kore belts to be honest. And yes we sell them in our shop for $59.
I have one of their older style tracline belts, and the polymer inner liner has split apart where my rear belt loop is, All my normal leather belts have worn out in the same place. I'd prefer the polymer to be a little thicker or more pliable so the polymer wont break in the same place again. I plan on buying from them again for my next belt.
I'm in South Africa. Ordered the nylon and a leather. Absolutely amazing belts.
Got a ranger green model with black buckel and it does the job well.
My wife just got my 3rd Kore Essenitals belt in coyote tan and its even nicer than my black one I got 2 yrs ago. Thats why I love her. These are Legit for ccw use.
Not only is this the best gun belt I've ever worn, it is THE BEST BELT I have ever worn hands down. Your firearm, holster, and pants won't move a bit with this belt. So comfy.
