Kore gun belts

[Fnfan]

Really nice belts and well made buckles, but they are waaaaaaay too thick. The belt/buckle stick out so far.

Originally bought KORE belts for ccw. They were better than Hanks leather belts.
I liked them until I bought a Hunter-Constantine ccw belt. No comparison. No need to adjust as the back of the belt stretches and gives as you sit or bend. The front of the belt is stiff so your gun doesn't sag. No buckle on the front, so no bulge when AIWB carry. I can't go back to using any other belt.

I agree with the OP that Kore belts are great. But I think Nexbelt is better.

I wore out the plastic track on 2 Kore belts pretty quickly. They end up cracking and become difficult to use.

The Nexbelt uses a different plastic material and has lasted much longer with no sign of wearing out like the Kore.

I originally had purchased the Kore Leather gun belts with the stainless buckle in anticipation and preparation to get my CCW but ended up just wearing it as my everyday belt and initially it was great however after 1 year the leather started splitting open from one of the seams on the edge , I still use it everyday but not good for what I paid for it.

How do the components hold up over time? And by time I mean four or five years down the road of daily wear? Or do you not know yet because you haven't had the belt that long?

I've heard some complaints about either the ratchet mechanism failing or the little clicky track down the center of the belt not holding up? Have you noticed any issues with those?

I've got three of them (black, tan, grey)... been wearing the original of three (black) for several years (over 5, can't remember exactly when I got it), itnhas held up well... the tan gets 2nd most use and still like-new... grey is most recent and rarely worn,
.
The buckles on all function perfectly.

I highly recommend Kore product... I like the belt keepers, buckles, belts... bought a shirt or two, and they run kinda small - I never wear them.

ETA: I use the nylon version... three different buckles (don't know the names - they all workmates same, just look different... are interchangeable but I don't bother)

Yeah I would not buy a Kore leather belt, even though I like their nylon belts.

ya the stitching on my belt is starting to unravel as well. its not even 2 years old and I don?t wear it all that often. I wear it on days that I want to have a “normal”-looking belt. I use a nylon belt with cobra buckle made by Blue Alpha gear as my daily wear.

This gets my vote. From CCW with regular pants or shorts to wearing a suit.

I have 4 Kore belts going on 5 years now.

Two dress belts and two gun belts. All have help up great though the gun belts do get a bit of memory to them where the holster sits, but its only noticeable when it is not being worn.

The original buckles that only relied on the clamp to hold the belt were not great but the new version with clamp and set screws have been great.

I have worn ratchet style belts from Bladetech, Kore and Nexbelt exclusively for both CCW and daily wear, for years.

Suddenly, all of my holsters, pants and shorts just fit perfectly, regardless of the combination...

Yes! I have 2 Kore belts, I threw everything else (non-gun belts) out as there is no going back.

Isn't the BladeTech a brand labeled Nexbelt?

I have their dress belt version and it has more flex than their "tactical nylon".
