Nice looking belt, I like the magnetic buckle idea. The Cobra buckle on my SOE/EDC belt can be a bit difficult to release at times. The holster you made for my G27 is by far the best in my collection.
I have done modifications to a lot of gear . I bought a knockoff belt for 8 dollars that says 5:11 on it . Although it is not 5:11 and it's stitching sucked for lack of a better word . As well the sizing was off . The 3 mod's I did to make this belt comparable to that of an 80 dollar belt were as follows . First I doubled the stitching all by hand as I have not yet learned to sew with machine as of yet . It only took 2 days of use before the velcro stitching started coming off so doubling the stitching of the velcro was the first thing . Secondly I could not tighten the belt to the right size so I added velcro to the belt . I used salvaged velcro I gather it here and there as I run across it . Taking it off things people throw by the roadside etc . You don't have to buy it nor do you have to always buy shock cord or nylon if you use creative thinking . Later I was bored and had been watching escape and evade videos and gear reviews and seen something that had not been done in the way I envisioned it . What I did next was to add 2 small velcro pockets to the inside of the belt . The pockets measure 3.75 inches wide by the width of the belt which is 1.50 inches . I fist sewed the little pockets out of a nylon material from an old lunch bag..Once I had the little rectangular pockets . I added velcro to fasten them shut . And finally I sewed them to the belt . First putting one in the rear and secondly adding one to my left side . These little pockets are great for hiding money from your wife ,she will go in your wallet but never in your belt! No more looking like an idiot when you go to buy something and don't have as much money as you assumed . As well as the inspired reason I dropped in a small razor and a small piece of hacksaw blade As well as a handcuff key . I have thought about buying more belts like mine to modify and sell to make a few dollars . I could sell them under 90 dollars especially if I would sit down and learn to use the sewing machine . I would like to hear if anyone else has modified their gear such as bags belts plate carriers etc . Is there any cobra buckle belts that are under 79.00 most of them are 89 to 120 I guess I have to wait for china to make cobra buckles .
OOooOh definitely going to be my next belt, I seen your channel awhile back but you didn't have that much content. I regret not subbing, but I did now and you have a great channel.
They snake eater co . Must have an exclusive deal with a company called strap works . Because they have the PATENT to this magnetic buckle design . I found strap works while looking for a rigid stiff belt and unlike a 2 2.5 years ago . I can't find a rigid or stiff budget belt . Lat time 2 years ago . I ordered my first classic one buckle riggers belt FROM EBAY . The belt it's self was stiff and firm nylon was and is still good . Although the only trade off is that the velcro and the velcro stitching was weak . Well for 8 dollars no problem . I always salvage good velcro when I see something going to the trash that has it . Like exercise equipment and a plethora of many other items . I hand sewed replacing the belts velcro in my spare time for a couple days . About 3 hours total; . And didn;t have to replace the velcro until about 10 mo ago . Problem was last week when I decided to grab another belt and I couldn't find them and in the reviews of the new trendy style's reviews there is usually a couple people disappointed that the belt is not ridged . I took a chance on a rodut brand belt on amazon and it was flimsy . It is packed and ready to go back . Funny thing last night in an Amazon listing there was a question on a belt . A guy while looking for the same kind of belt for the budget price said . 2 years ago he had bought a riggers belt the gen 1 or older style buckle and it was stiff . He goes on to say he tried a Rodut belt thinking it may be a firm belt for 15.00 or so . And it was flimsy . Ill bet there are more of us every day as our older belts age . I still wear it although I have to retighten it a couple times a day . My Idea of budget riggers belt has to be changed now . What was 8 dollars is now 23 dollars . If you want any rigidity. I however after searching for hours over two days . Found a preowned ALTHOUGH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION RIGGERS BELT .I had never heard of the co before . It seems they have a following and good rep . They are WILDERNESS TACTICAL . i GOT ONE OF THERE RIGGERS - FIRE THEY CALL IT for 15 + 6 shipping . EBAY .
I just bought a CZ 75D PCR; it's basically the same size as a g19 but it is heavier due to it's aluminum alloy frame. I plan to start carrying it, though I haven't decided yet between IWB and OWB. Would you say this belt is more than capable of supporting a midsized metal-framed gun? I don't plan to hang anything else from it, I just want to be confident in it's strength and rigidity before purchasing. Thanks, love the channel
Hi, can you do a video on the type of pants you wear, these tactical pants you talk about? And can you also tell me the brands and types you do wear so i can look them up. Thank you.
+Jesus Guevara Yes, it is a Kabar last ditch - but I'm not a huge fan of it. I didn't speak about it, because I've been exploring a handful of different knives for this little setup. I'll talk about it more in a future video at some point.
+motomarc Yeah? You have any in particular that you'd recommend? I've seen some here and there and they're interesting designs, they seem pretty practical - though I'm not a big fan of belts that have overlapping webbing, just because of bulk. But I guess with how thin the g hooks are, it might not be as big of an issue.
hey do you sell you holsters? i appendix carry a glock 17 in a Blackhawk ARC holster right now but i plan on upgrading and i have seen afew of your holsters in you videos and i really like them
Do you know where to get 1.5" clips like G-code uses. I checked their website and it looks like they only use 1.75" clips. My belts are 1.5". I'm thinking about getting the Incog eclipse holster but since they use 1.75" clips I'm concerned it might move too much during the draw if the belt is smaller than the clip size. Have you had any issues with that? Awesome videos BTW
Thank you. Good to know. Do you happen to know if the Raven concealment clips will fit on a G-code eclipse holster? Basically, are the screw hole patterns the same? Thanks again.
I tried the link for the belt and it doesn't work. I've also searched Snake Eater Tactical's website and can't find it either. Is it not available anymore?
wcw2793 hi. here is the website. www.snakeeatertactical.com They do not carry the magnetic buckle anyone but if you have any questions let me know. SET is one of my sponsors and I wear their belts almost everyday.
Haha, it was - but they quit carrying it, actually. The buckle ended up fraying belts pretty pad, and the buckle provider was planning a V2 version that was never released.
@@LastLineOfDefense oh yeah that makes sense, thanks. I've been looking at both these buckles in this vid and I just can't decide haha, love your channel by the way!
+Last Line Of Defense oups... sorry i meant to ask about the color of the first belt on show with the cobra buckle which is showing kinda blue... :) any chance this is whatcthey mean by wolf grey ?

+pinkiewerewolf Awesome, glad you're liking it!
Thanks Mike! Just to clarify, that belt has the zig zag stitch. The Diamondback stitch has a contrasting thread color.
+Snake Eater Tactical Ooops. sorry about that!
Great video, keep them coming, that holster you made for me has become my favorite

As always, your videos are great to watch. Many thanks for the upload. Greetings from Cape Town

+DJBAcHIGU Thanks man!
+Last Line Of Defense I just order one brotha, My pants size is 34 and I measured around came to be a 38. I hope it fits
I came across your channel roaming for what to watch.
Nice channel, Mike.
+Jaesung Kim Hey man, what a coincidence! Hope you've been well over there!
great vid as always, just sucks that i can't find this belt on their site anymore.
Great review bro.. I may have to look into this. I've got an SOE, Bashido Tactical and HSGI.. so far.. not loving any of them.
If you request it at checkout, you can get the EDC Buckle in the Matte Aluminum color too.
Love your videos man, keep them coming!
I was totally gonna rag on your white hands until that last part. LOL.
Good stuff man!

lol idk why but I like your random rambling xD
grabbing a belt regardless but i wish they gave you a coupon code when they knew you would review a new item
LOL! Normal "tanedness". Great review and video!

I always wonder what you do for a living lol.
Hi, can you do a video on the type of pants you wear, these tactical pants you talk about? And can you also tell me the brands and types you do wear so i can look them up. Thank you.
I have the gray snake eater belt like yours except the version I have has no velcro with a coyote tan keeper and gray (powder coated?) cobra buckle.
+EvolvinEvo Nice!
Sick belt! Plan on doing any videos of you using it?
+Mark Santarone Not sure what that video would look like, but I'm liking the belt and using it daily.
+Mark Santarone Not sure what that video would look like, but I'm liking the belt and using it daily.
Thats a pretty neat holster set up, any info on the little blade?
+Jesus Guevara I was looking at the knife too best I can tell it looks like a Ka-Bar tdi last ditch knife
+Jesus Guevara Yes, it is a Kabar last ditch - but I'm not a huge fan of it. I didn't speak about it, because I've been exploring a handful of different knives for this little setup. I'll talk about it more in a future video at some point.
You should try a g hook style belt. I like mine a lot. Great videos man!!

+Last Line Of Defense I got mine from libertytreetactical.com for around $45. Rocking my 19 with the xc1 after your review as well.
Nice belt. You make holsters? How about making one for my G21sf?

The G-Code clip only comes in 1.75" - I like the Raven Concealment clip, as it comes in 1.5" version.
Thank you. Good to know. Do you happen to know if the Raven concealment clips will fit on a G-code eclipse holster? Basically, are the screw hole patterns the same? Thanks again.
what brand of pants do you wear ???? and will you please do a video on that tan suppressed AR
i gotta say i was looking for to this but i dont really like it too. i wanna try that blue alpha hybrid buckle
where can i buy online ?
Any thought of doing a quick video on pants you find work best for edc.
+Blake Eaton It's on my list of vids to do in the near future!
+Last Line Of Defense I'll be on the look out! Thanks!
+Last Line Of Defense I'll be on the look out! Thanks!
The belt doesn't look to stiff. How does it support your AIWB setup?
I tried the link for the belt and it doesn't work. I've also searched Snake Eater Tactical's website and can't find it either. Is it not available anymore?
wcw2793 hi. here is the website. www.snakeeatertactical.com
They do not carry the magnetic buckle anyone but if you have any questions let me know. SET is one of my sponsors and I wear their belts almost everyday.
Any issues with the belt coming unbuckled throughout the day/ever? Or is the magnet pretty strong?
How much for a holster like that?
Not very useful for me... I use the Kore Essentials X6 in Wolf Gray and it's held strong for years.
should I get 1inch bigger for concealing comfort or get my regular size?
who makes the multi-cam pants you are wearing in the vid?
Have you used this belt at the range with holster, extra mags, and leg rig? if so, how did it hold up?
I have and it held up fine - though I didn't have it crazy loaded out, just my typical setup.
Must be really uncomfortable when the gun and magazine jabbing at your stomach.
fake news. After a year it's not on their website!
Haha, it was - but they quit carrying it, actually. The buckle ended up fraying belts pretty pad, and the buckle provider was planning a V2 version that was never released.
Carbon Tactics has a nice magnetic belt. Check it out
trying to figure out where the website is that you sell your holsters
+Ryan M Shoot me an email at mikeshootsguns@gmail.com and I'll get you squared away.
How much for one of your holsters?
Hey man do you sell holsters and if so what is your website?
+Schwaller I do, shoot me an email at mikeshootsguns@gmail.com for more info
Which belt weighs less ? Thanks
How do I buy a holster and whats your lead time?
how much would you charge to make an appendix holster like yours for a glock 19 and extra mag?
+liven3vil Shoot me an email at mikeshootsguns@gmail.com
+Last Line Of Defense I emailed you and never got a reply, I'll email you again.
What would you recommend for an edc belt? I see you have multi belts. Brand? Model?
+EMANx32x The belt that this video is about is a good option!
is your wolf gray belt 1.5 inch also or is it 1.75?
+Dry Fly 1.5"
how can I get your holster in this video? super interested
Shoot me an email at mike@llod.us and I'll get you some more info.
I'm trying to find a open carry nylon belt, 1.75" so hard to find
check out lunar concepts. they make a 1.75
Hey! You might want to look into T.Rex Arms. They carry a 1.75" heavy duty belt.
Spud Kai hi snake eater tactical has a 1.75 inch belt. I'm currently using mine for competitive shooting
is this a carbon tactics knockoff or is it the other way around ?
I believe the buckle itself was produced and sold by carbon tactics, yeah
@@LastLineOfDefense oh yeah that makes sense, thanks. I've been looking at both these buckles in this vid and I just can't decide haha, love your channel by the way!
how do you sit down with all that stuff in the front
Easy bend at the hips!! lol
+mike wagner The holster will slide up to some extent.
+mike wagner i use one of his holsters and it's very easy...of course, i don't have any fat hanging over the belt
What knife is that attached to your holster?
+wswovela1 Looks like a TDI Last Ditch.
+wswovela1 Yup, it's a Kabar last ditch. I'm exploring a handful of options for this setup, the last ditch isn't my favorite of the bunch though.
No SOE bro??
What do you think of the sons of liberty belt? Thank you.
+emily rodgers Never heard of it, so I'm not sure.
I'm sorry it's the way of gun covert belt
+emily rodgers made by frank proctor
Is it the same rigidity as your other SET cobra belt?
+readyme All of the our 1.5" belts are made from a firm weave webbing that sews up very stiff. Plenty of structure for a gun and support gear.
If your a welder or around metal shavings or chips not a good idea to have.
Clips on holsters suck and the buckle is a novelty
So now that you have had this belt for a while. Do you prefer this edc belt or the riggers belt with the cobra buckle and Velcro?
+Carlos Rodriguez I don't really use any riggers belts, but the cobra belt with the velcro might be my favorite still.
If you are wearing it with those pants, don't worry about hit looking tactical or not. The pants already give that away.
+ronald reagen Haha, I'm never worried about looking too tactical. ;)
Belt looks way tooooooo complicated. Try a kore essentials very easy to put on and micro adjustable.
do you make Kydex holsters for people
+Kevin Lewis I do, shoot me an email at mikeshootsguns@gmail.com for more info.
How much for a holster?
Like $150 last time I checked.
What is the belt color name/code?
+GEORGE THEGREEK This one is just all black errrtthang
+Last Line Of Defense oups... sorry i meant to ask about the color of the first belt on show with the cobra buckle which is showing kinda blue... :)
any chance this is whatcthey mean by wolf grey ?
Here's where I found this belt:

Jason Thomas Thank you!
Posted up a link to it on www.Blacksheepwarrior.com !
Nice belt. On a side note, you newbie carry folks make me chuckle with all the tactical crap.
Haha, definitely wouldn't consider myself a 'newbie' - but as far as what people are into, to each their own. ;)
Belts that carry self defense items are included in life saving equipment. I would not trust my life to a magnet
Your hands are pink. Are you new type of human?
