EDC Update and Hunter Constantine Concealed Carry Belt Review

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@ironlordoni8465]

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

[@nvhs1]

[@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!!

[@obeii1805]

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

[@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..!

[@KM-oi9ks]

I bought $20 worth of supplies off amazon to make my own. Buckle = Laser cut thin piece of scrap metal, 3 copies - epoxy together for 1 strong part. Laser cut 15" long x1.3" wide - thin scrap metal, sew in between folded over 1.5" seat belt webbing (5yds = 9$). 1.5" elastic ($9 - 11yds) -, doubled over, with buckle on loop side, sew working ends of elastic into both open ends of seat belt webbing, generously stitch this section. Lastly, 3D printed slide adjustment buckle. Done. Made 6 for $20 total. - 40 mins per belt. Thanks for the idea Hunter.

[@timothymiller9067]

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

[@TheBigjake240]

this is what snakeeater tactical made a few years back i still rock mine its practically the same design

[@2AFreeState]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Thefringefitnessproject]

I EDC a P-01 and I like carrying it more than micro guns but that might be because I’ve also devoted the most attention to making it work lol! Get yourself a P-01 and give her the full tune up you won’t be disappointed!

[@l337l0gan]

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

[@adann3528]

Hunter is such a fun cool dude. Him and rogue methods are making moves and I highly recommend their courses.

[@hunter-constantine]

Thanks dude!

[@Orange.Delicious]

CZ are so nice. There’s aftermarket now too for it.

[@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!

[@jashwanholmes5355]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@QuickReloads]

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

[@tylergibson9077]

Coming from someone who religiously stuck to Glocks, What about SIG? I recently got a P320 X-Full and I’m sold…. It’s a fantastic pistol.

[@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

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

[@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

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

[@Mr3dperformance]

Just got me Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact 4”. Love it

[@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.

[@joshmajor8662]

Yeah I’m with ya man Lol barely 150, I carry the 2.0 myself. If you can’t carry a full-size, then maybe it’s time to diet 🤷‍♂️😂

So this is like the new tier 1 concealed belt. Wonder who came up with it first or if they collaborated.

[@hunter-constantine]

We collabed. I produce the Tier1 EDC-S

[@Mako-sz4qr]

I e been using Kore Essential belts for years they are worth every red cent. I would love to try Hunters belt but dang !!! $115.00 is kinda pricey man. By all means I know it’s a quality belt and better be well made for that price. Hopefully I’ll get off the … gaddddam train and get one.

[@RyanMiller3039]

Do you think the elastic will stretch out over time

[@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.

[@stanthebamafan]

I agree with your philosophy of carrying a gun that your comfortable shooting and dressing around it. I’ve never been a huge fan of carrying small guns. If a small gun is all you’re willing to carry that’s fine, but I agree that you should carry the biggest gun you’re willing to actually carry every single day. I think the PDP is by far the best gun out of the box. No modifications needed. Trigger is already excellent.

[@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.

[@hunter-constantine]

Nice to hear! Thanks for the support

[@markbagnall2822]

which version do you like better? tier 1 or hc version

[@86keen]

Use to carry a staccato P now a CS. don’t know if I could ever go back to the P(P is my duty gun). With that I use a kore belt for edc(off duty) love it

[@KnifeNinjaEDC]

For an awesome cheaper option with some of the same ideas on a edc belt, check out the EDC Belt Co Foundation belt 👍

[@alexcamarata4124]

How would people compare the HC belt to the PHLster Enigma?

[@-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

[@bestjobieverhad9584]

Black Nike shirts (plain) are long and fit well. Dean of Theives black shirts as well work excellent

[@cbrohman1]

Just an fyi. T. rex arms makes their ragnorak and sidecar holsters for CZ shadow 2s with or without lights. Would absolutely love to see some CZ content. Especially comparisons to you 2011s. I have your same love for hammer fired guns.

[@Justinofficial90]

So bought one to support my g19 and 1911 setups then ended up sending it back. TBH Jim not nearly as solid or comfy as my kore belts. What can I say. kore def more support and grey man buckle options. Sorry Jim.

[@jimmybrodriguez]

My KORE belt buckle sticks out more and causes hot spots. The HC is more flat to the body and doesn't dig in on me. But if the KORE works for you keep rocking that.

"You can wear it without beltloops" So it's a Phlster Enigma but worse?

[@boejiden1942]

The enigma doesn't work with a lot of holsters. I don't think everyone wants to buy a whole new/expensive setup.

[@hunter-constantine]

I wear the belt to gym all the time. I’d say the HC belt is more of a one stop shop and you don’t need to get a specific holster.

[@a.l.newsome7395]

😃 Good video. Thanks 👍🏾

[@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?

[@Index-o1234]

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.

Great awesome belt, very comfortable for sure, works really well when using it with my P229, Glock 45, P320 all with a Surefire X300. Since that is what I rotate out with. Especially with only being 5.2 on the short side. Yet i have many different belt styles from extremely rigid and not so rigid. This belt style is fantastic for appendix carry.
