EDC Update and Hunter Constantine Concealed Carry Belt Review

[@shhhboss3139]

I love me some hunter, and I love his belt. It's like he's hugging me every day you know

[@JaxActual]

Snagged one of these belts after watching this video because I wanted something for carrying under athletic shorts, received it today and so far it exceeds my expectations, even after all the great feedback. Awesome recommendation thanks!

[@hunter-constantine]

I love to hear it man! Thank you!!

[@CaptainYesz]

How is it now 9mo later?

[@JaxActual]

@@CaptainYesz it’s been great, like I stated it’s been an athletic short carry for me (which is mainly the weekends), but it’s fit that application great. Would still fully recommend.

[@deenyc1049]

@@JaxActual How about for jeans or dress pants? Not as good as a regular gun belt like Kore or something?

[@JaxActual]

@@deenyc1049 honestly I just haven’t worn it that way much, I’ve worn a groove belt for the past few years and haven’t had any reason to try anything else in jeans because it’s been perfect for me. I still like it with jeans, just not quite as much as my existing belt. Not to say it’s not still a great option though.

[@fattigla]

Great philosophy on dressing for what you carry. I'm a smaller frame guy and it's a struggle to not print at all with traditional compact-sized pistols.

[@robsmith2936]

I recommend trying this “Ian Knot”, the world's fastest shoelace knot. This is also the most secure short knot . I had been in boots for 48+ hours without needing to be retighten.

[@kjstewys]

Been watching videos for the past two hours on the best edc belts. This is the only video I needed to see to convince me this was the one. Used the link and discount code, can’t wait for it to come in!!

Did u order one? And which one there are 2 options on the site.

[@ZensivYT]

Man went into a crazy long explanation just so he was able to keep his 2011 lmao. Felt like he was speaking to us like we were his wife and explaining why he had to keep it and not sell

Very self indulgent. I, I, I, me, me, me.

[@Kaido1299]

Thank god I wasn’t the only one, 6 minutes before he talked about the belt. Not going to lie I forgot the video was even about the belt

[@tardersause]

I agree entirely with your carry philosophy. I’m 5’5 150lbs also, and I carry a MR920 with x300 just because I’m confident with it and can shoot it best out of my guns. AND can also conceal it decently wearing the same stuff you do, and it works. Everyone’s concealment weapon and style is a bit different!

[@timothymiller9067]

1:00 Mini-Osborne*, the mini grip is also a stellar knife.

[@ECLYPSER42]

I was looking for this comment. Nice. 😉

[@markboyanton9880]

Not a Griptilan

[@jimmybrodriguez]

Good catch. You’re right it’s the mini Osborne, my buddy’s is the griptilian

[@VoskiTheTech]

I was thinking the same thing lol I heard him say “I like the way the mini grip looks” I was like HUHH?!? That things ugly imo. Definitely looks like a 945

[@alexmeilbeck1006]

Just picked up the HC/Tier1 colab, (EDC-S) and all the hype is real. You’ll never forget you are carrying when you do. I couldn’t care less what people say, you never forget it’s there. BBUUUTTTT you will forget you’re wearing this belt. I don’t understand it but I fully recommend it.!! 10 Stars..!

[@ironlordoni8465]

If you like hammer fired guns in my opinion the Langdon LTT RDO beretta with a trigger job is phenomenal

[@nvhs1]

took my 92x ltt out today for the first time and man its a tac driver

The review was good, but ideas on street camouflage are genius. Thanks for the video man.

[@l337l0gan]

The new flat trigger in the 2.0 is alot nicer than the previous

[@SS-tr5ru]

Love 2011s but love 1911s even more (they just seem to have more soul) but it’s so nice to see a company and owner who listens to the customer and makes improvement’s rather than complain

Philster floodlight would allow you to carry the shadow 2 with a light same with the msp pro from teir 1

[@peterkim6151]

Hello Jimmy, great video. Do you still wear the Hunter belt?

[@jimmybrodriguez]

@@peterkim6151 yes daily

[@MrKreationsHD]

Loving the Moon watch!

[@Mr3dperformance]

I like that you carry full size. My next carry will be. I’m getting HC belt as well. Nice video

[@obeii1805]

What the superior benefits? Your edc concealed should be build light and naked, thin , for easy drawl with both hands ! and maneuverability, and able to shoot easily with one and your non dominant hand .. if u need more than your not within the right fight , and if you need more you upgrade power, 556 300 etc etc . Full size are best for home . Not edc

[@mcgnlyp]

If you like the CZ SP-01 try their P-07/P-09.

[@Ikem5546]

Would be interested i seeing you compare this to the EDC belt from Agonic. I’ve loved it so far and seems to be one of the best thought out belts I’ve seen. Edit: also quite a bit cheaper than the Constantine.

[@hunter-constantine]

Obvi I’m biased when it comes to it but my belt has even less of a footprint and a bit more forgiving. Both are solid choices. I will say my belt is all USA materials and manufactured here in the USA 🦅🇺🇸

[@stevenfuller7876]

@@hunter-constantine I have the T1C version. The only issue I have is it can sag down when moving around. Mostly from sitting/squatting. Do you have any ideas to prevent that or am I stuck with pulling my pants back up when it happens? I can't tighten the belt any more than it currently is.

[@hunter-constantine]

@@stevenfuller7876 it sounds like the belt isn’t tight enough. I typically keep the belt 1 inch shorter than the length it takes to hook the buckle and loop. I have some videos on my YT about sizing the belts.

[@True_Patriotx]

I have both belts. I bought the Agonic before I knew about the HC EDC belt and I can say that the HC belt is better. Although the Agonic is comfortable it added too much bulk to my waist line. (I have a 30” waist) it made it look like I had a tire around the front of my waist. Also the Agonic took longer to put on to adjust everything just right every time. I have the HC EDC belt and I bought the Tier one concealed version of the HC belt and they are way better. It is slimmer and easier to put on quickly and easier to adjust. It is also more comfortable for me anyway. To me the HC belt is a better design. Simpler and and easier to use. The benefits of the Agonic are that you have more adjustments, you can hide the clips behind the belt, and you can store things in the belt. For me I did not care about those features so the Agonic belt is in the pile of backup belts at the bottom of my dresser. I wear the HC or Tier one EDC slim belt everyday except for church because I tuck in my shirt for church I wear a regular ratchet dress belt and carry at 4 o’clock instead of my normal appendix carry. Go with the HC or Tier one EDC s belt you won’t be disappointed. And I don’t know HC I bought them both myself.

[@hunter-constantine]

@@True_Patriotx dude! Thank you for this. This is first comparison I’ve read in the wild. I appreciate the write up!

Trex-arms makes a sidecar for shawdow 2 WITH an x300 and also you can get their new ironside owb holster for the shawdow with a light as well

He’s not wrong!! Spinning backwards could be devastating 😳

[@WagaBags]

Thanks for the video. Ordered mine after watching with coupon code

[@Matt-Moser]

My only problem with my HC belt (they are fantastic belts). Is I wish the rigid part was about 4-5 inches longer. Outside of that I love what he’s done with the belt.

[@stevenfuller7876]

I agree

[@hunter-constantine]

Are you finding that due to comfort or support?

[@Matt-Moser]

@@hunter-constantine I use the MSP holster and mag carrier from T1C. With them being separate they take up a lot of space on the belt. The comfort and support is perfect, just want more real estate to move the holster and mag carrier around. Thank you for responding, huge fan of what you’re doing man!

[@hunter-constantine]

@@Matt-Moser thank you for the input. I’ll keep that in mind for future versions/ updates.

[@stevenfuller7876]

@@hunter-constantine Kinda both. I think it would help support the belt more without having to tension the elastic as much since there is structure over a greater area

We collabed. I produce the Tier1 EDC-S

[@QuickReloads]

Guerrilla tactical has every holster style you need for the sp-01 and p-01 including duty holsters

[@NorCal_Irregulars]

Love my HC belt, however the rigid part sets off metal detectors and handheld sensors. Makes it a pain going through security when I’m not carrying as multiple people have zoned in on it and wanted to confiscate it. Only negative I’ve experienced.

[@hunter-constantine]

Good to note. This is the first I've heard about this being an issue. I am working on some polymer prototypes right now but I haven't found anything that matches the shape how the metal does once it settles in. I appreciate the feedback!

[@Nickalapokis]

to play devils advocate, dont normal belt buckles set off metal detectors too? Ive got beeped so many times with a dress belt on.

[@Lift4Life_Patriot]

I like the s&w 2.0. I opted for the new H&K CC9 as my EDC.

[@-lucifer-6155]

Is this not identical to the tier 1 belt they have with the stretch back? The hooks are same in same spots they are identical. So I’m wondering if I purchase this will it feel any different as my tier 1 edc s belt?

[@tylersprague1922]

I believe HC actually makes those ones too, so you'd just have two of the same belt

[@sneak916]

Couldn’t you just get a Floodlight to use the other guns that you mentioned with the x300

[@jeffreys8772]

Belt looks awesome, price point is kind of a tough pill to swallow. Cheap stuff ain’t good and good stuff ain’t cheap I guess right, the use of nylon and stretch materials does concern me a bit about super long term use, however I’m sure it’s all the highest durability materials available. Would love to be able to pick one up at maybe the $70-$80 dollar price range , going above that on the belt definitely starts to hurt the wallet. But, nonetheless love the American made ingenuity, pushes other companies to innovate too, maybe we’ll see some similarly designed hybrid stiff/stretch belts in the near future.

[@hunter-constantine]

My longest running belt is 3 years old and the elastic is still running strong. I wanted to design them so you only need to buy 1 belt.

[@2aisabsoluteTim]

Maybe he can give u a discount code for it I bought the belt but it doesn't work for me with the set-up It's a great belt but just not for me but I hope it takes off and keeps Hunter in Business

[@jeffgeesaman4386]

@@2aisabsoluteTim what size and color do you have? Do you want to sell the one you have?

[@BespokeCarpentry]

Yeah it is a tough pill to swallow. I've been looking for a similar belt, and the agonic for $80-$90 looks amazing with a separate plaquard for your holster to clip to, but I can't find it in stock anywhere. So I'm here researching the Constantine belt.

[@papabear2965]

I believe you have a 945 Mini Osborne... a great knife!

[@Goldenwithaleash]

Just ordered one. Been using the Agonic belt and it’s been great as well. I EDC a full-size Glock 17 Gen 4 that’s been milled for a RMR and a Streamlight TRL7sub in a Tenicore or T. Rex holster.

[@richardthomas6602]

My only printing concern - is it legal. I have neen using the kore essentials belt for awhile now. Great belt but the buckle is a bit annoying. Considering the Zero belt as my next option. Not a fan of elastic as it fails over time.

Dang I wish I would have had that discount code about a week ago 😂

[@GTacticalJody]

Didn’t know this existed🔥 the similar belt from tier 1 is always sold out, this is clutch🙏🏾‼️

The belt from Tier 1 is actually the same belt, just licensed from Hunter Constantine as far as I understand.

[@GTacticalJody]

@@Sanguivore oh wow, well shii I’m glad it’s more than one company selling them, more for us🔥

[@bradenziegler7069]

What about the Tenicor ZERO?

[@hunter-constantine]

Another great edc option that’s very comfortable. Also with low profile in mind but doesn’t include stretch to form fit to your body.

[@AustenR23]

Got a hunter belt in May for my bday and overall it's a 6-7 outta 10. Why, because it's expensive, can't carry outside with it, threads tend to fray out and you got to trim them, looks homemade and it is overtly tactical looking On the positive side it is good for appendix carry and tough.

[@leoquayle]

why do you edc with light?

[@RyanMiller3039]

Do you think the elastic will stretch out over time

[@MikeB92]

looks a lot like the new T1C belt. maybe they're linked somehow?

[@mooktemas6800]

You should get the CZ shadow 2 compact for EDC. Staccato C2 and shadow 2 compact are my current EDCs and I think they are really good.

[@aaronq19]

My edc is a Canik Mete MC9 and I love it. I have a stream light tlr7x sub and a holosun 407k red dot. Smith and Wesson is amazing and not trying to bash them by any means. They have listened to customers but not enough in my opinion. At this point in time I wished more manufacturers made pistols ambidextrous. I’m a left and having a slide release on the right side of the pistol for a lefty is big. Yes you can send the slide home by going over the top but I prefer slide release button. Glock gen 5 made ambi. Canik are ambi. The new S&W lineup with the carry comp and all that still no ambi. Sig p320 ambi but not the p365. Walter ambi. H&K ambi. My point is even though the lefty population is very small it’s nice to see some companies realizing making ambidextrous pistols are nice. I wish a hellcat pro had the slide release for a lefty as well at the p365 and the shield plus or the compact that S&W has to offer.

[@awatt510]

I too carry a fullsize 2011 with a light.

[@shawnjohnson7680]

In an effort not to own a thousand different things, could this belt adequately serve as an owb holster? Or is belt to loose and floppy without the belt itself being wrapped over the holster?

ANR makes some great holsters for CZ

[@lettuce9612]

So is the hunter constantine better than the EDC-S from tier 1 concealed

[@JbHomestead]

Their the same thing. T1C belt is a colab with HC. I got the T1C version due to it having 3 loop instead of 2 from HC. Other than the loop and size. Their the same.

Thats a mini 945 not a griptilian! But ive always loved the benchmade 940’s i had a full size in the same color for the longest. And now have the carbon fiber version. But the green on purple had me hooked from day 1. Osborne knows whatsup

[@True_Patriotx]

I have that HC belt. It is pretty good. I also have the Tier one concealed version of it. Also I would say that the walther pdp maybe the best striker fired pistol. And tier one concealed makes a MSP holster that uses a Surefire x300 for retention so it can fit any gun.

It sounds interesting I recently ordered a VNSH but after looking at a few reviews learning about the kant it has in the holster although I can fit a variety of different firearms with it. I also own a few carbon fiber holsters that do not currently fit into the VNSH holster system Sooo.....I would need a reliable belt if I wanted to switch over for whatever reasons and perhaps maybe you have provided me with a good alternative choice. Thank you when will the federal government allow it's citizens to carry through out the U.S. and It's territories is a conversation for another day.

[@CitizenCarrier]

A little off subject, but not really since you discussed it at the beginning. As far as striker fired guns go, I absolutely love my Walther PDP’s. I even have a Canik TP9 Elite Combat that has never failed me and the trigger is by far the best out of the box that I personally have shot. But overall, my PDP’s are my go to. Now the M&P 2.0, those would definitely be my go to if I didn’t have my Walther’s. I got to shoot my son-in-laws and it’s awesome! The trigger had a touch of “grit” on the take-up, but after about a thousand rounds, it smoothed out nicely. I just ordered a Hunter Constantine belt, so we’ll see goes. Can’t wait to get it and try it out.
