I have been looking for a good CCW belt for a few years now. I have tried fully rigid Gun belts with the cobra buckle, semi rigid nylon belts, KORE Essential belts and everything in between. I saw tier1 announce their belt that was a hybrid of rigid and elastic and was interested but skeptical of its ability to hold up the wait. I recently pulled the trigger on it and have worn it everyday for 2 weeks and I can confirm that it can easily hold a Gen 3 Glock 19 with a Streamlight TLR-7 and a extended spare mag in a tier1 holster. It is so much more comfortable than my KORE belt and it doesn’t dig into my side or make my back hurt from tightening it down.

If anyone is considering it I highly suggest it. I wear a size 42 in waist and the regular fits just fine.
