[@cagneybillingsley2165]

a lot of people don't seem to understand the purpose of cobra buckles in the context of gun belts, they're supposed to be worn independent of the pants. they're more like a quick detach cummerbund that can be used as a belt as necessary. it's something you set up as part of your holster that you throw on during that bump in the night scenario so you don't have to loop your belt through your pants or even put on a pair of pants.

[@zososldier]

down side to this is you cant mount anything on the belt where the tail of the belt goes through the buckle. With a cobra, you set it to the size you want and you can now mount pouches or what ever over the tail end because the buckle itself un hooks rather than the belt unhooking from the buckle.

[@areekalaan]

I had a "cop lock" buckle on my 3 gun belt. The secondary latch would randomly fail if flexed and bending over would press the buckle release into my pants belt. Ever had a belt unbuckle itself while running the course? I'll stick with my Cobra. It's tested and works.

[@vettepilot427]

Before the Cobra we had plastic side release buckles. These were OK for mag pouches and compression straps, but if one of the tabs were broken the buckle was useless and had to be replaced. This sucks HARD if that buckle happens to be on load bearing connection like a pack hip belt that can't be replaced easily in the field. Cobra buckles came about because "certain people" needed a load rated buckle for tie-in on rigger's belts and didn't want to constantly thread webbing through a ladder lock all day to take a piss or require some kind of fancy ratchet deal on the webbing. If they're used in places that they're not supposed to be or on crappy gear, that's not the buckle's fault. They're expensive because they work how they are supposed to. Every time. Especially if you're life depends on it.

[@COBRABUCKLE]

However, a comparison of these two buckles is working only in a very small range of applications. If you need a buckle that holds 18 kN (4047 lb), is made of sturdy aluminum and can’t be opened under load then there is no way around the COBRA ®, a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) buckle with an extensively wide range of applications and numerous safety features.

[@Roshan_420]

Cobra buckle is also quick and satisfying

[@slate6611]

Recently got my first Kore belt and was so impressed I purchased two more. Buckles are very nice and sturdy, and quarter inch adjustment allows for a perfect fit on these. The stiffness of the belts is a huge benefit when carrying for me. the only belts I use now.

[@GMAN72263]

You are exactly right on so many points. My original EDC belt was a good, stiff belt with a Cobra buckle. I liked it, except the lack of quick adjustment. I had two belts, one when carrying and one when not. Adjusting back and forth was not practical, and fine tune adjustment was impossible without removing the belt and then doing trial and error to find the right fit. I found the Kore belts, and that is all I will use, nothing else comes close. I have a battle belt that works fine, it’s a padded belt and basically used for range trips and zombies. I really wanted to add a double belt setup, but I’m spoiled by my EDC Kore belts. I really thought there was no way to have a double belt with the fine adjustment of the Kore belts, but I was wrong. I recently found the Kore battle belt, now just waiting for them to offer it in OD Green. This is a great video, and you do bring up some good points for EDC.

If it's not a Kore belt, I pretty much don't wear it. I do have one gun belt however, that is made of some type of tough polymer webbing which is water proof and I do wear that for maritime activities. I wish Kore made a maritime gun belt, it is about the only thing they're missing in their arsenal of belts, buckles and accessories. I have used one of my nylon Kore gun belts in the water and it swoll up and was tight as hell to fit into the buckle for about a week. After it dried up it shrank down to normal and it had no other issues, but clearly it was not meant to be used in the water.

Whoa whoa whoa, you're telling me CORE has a tactical belt now???

[@EquipaPatriot]

I own and use the Nextbelt for EDC. It has the same ratcheting system as the Kore. My belt replaced my 6 year old 5.11 Operator Belt, which worked great until I noticed that the hook 'n' loop was wearing out and the belt was a burden with other holsters. My battle belt is made by Grey Ghost Gear. They use the small Cobra buckle, which I don't have a problem with. I just wouldn't wear a belt with a Cobra buckle for EDC. So, that I agree with your sentiment concerning Cobra buckles on an EDC belt.

[@lucasblanchard47]

Damn that looks like an awesome belt option! I tried an appendix holster out at my local shop the other day, and was curious about how I’d get used to it over time. I have a pretty standard stiff web EDC belt and a Canik TP9SF (not the compact like yours) I was kind of disappointed because it felt odd at first. (I have a similar midsection to yours ha) I guess I’ll just have to either get used to it, get one of these Kore belts, or maybe get a smaller carry pistol ha!

It is stiffer and locks in place much more better and it is interchangeable.

Interested until you said Kore. This system, while convenient for some, is susceptible to too many mechanical failures. The belt is stiff. Really stiff. But after a couple hours of semi-constant movement, under any amount of load, will render you uncomfortable around your hip and midsection. The spline will wear and fail surprisingly fast (we tested 7 belts) and imo for the $ you pay isn’t worth it. Personally, I prefer edc belts that have normal buckles (looking at you Ciguera) that have a stiff, secure, but all day comfy feel. Just my two cents. Great video!

[@biosaber585]

I actually wear belts daily due to my work and what I carry in my EDC and encountered a similar issue to this. Frankly? I went and bought a belt from the company Hank's Belts instead of any type of "gun belt". It's a 1/4in of leather hide and it's a traditional buckling belt, not only can I use it for an impromptu tourniquet god forbid something happens, it's also a damn heavy belt. I do own a cobra buckle belt, I also own one that magnetically locks together, these are both GIMMICK belt buckles for a few of my EDC belts that I have kicking around cause I find their mechanism fun to wear. I would NEVER take either of those buckles or their belts onto the range with me, I just cannot be sure I could get them unlatched in an emergency or under a heavy load. And is a traditional belt buckle the perfect solution? No, but a traditional buckling belt is something A. most people can undo and B. more easily cut OFF in an emergency which.. is pretty much my bog standard solution if I have to get my belt off quickly in an emergency, sharp things are a HUGE part of my toolkit for EDC and the range including Leatherman's medical shears with their wonderful belt cutter, and while my EDC belt is really heavy (and pretty expensive as far as belts go) I can cut that 1/4in of hide in an emergency. Again, is this perfect? No. But it's the best solution to the problem for MYSELF

[@queenannesrevenge3770]

If you dont own a NexBelt, you are a noob. They are the best EDC belt ever invented. The buckle itself adjust the size and tightness in an instant. In 1 second you can go from super tight to completely falling off you and back to super tight in a second...and the belt is still locked together around you at all times. So your holster can NEVER slip off the belt... Its basically a ziptie belt around your waist. The only time the buckle and belt comes apart is when you need to take to belt off the pants.

Most Tactical equipment is based or copied from military concepts in wich you do need the load bearing capability of cobrq buckles. Ive seen alot of other buckles break under use but never a cobra.
