I've been using the Kore leather belt almost two years. When I first bought it I was concerned how the gear track would last. I carry a S&W M&P 2.0 17 RDs IWB Appendix . I have had no problems so far, the gear track adjustment still works like new. I like it because it's easy to adjust with one hand if you want to release a little tension when you sit down.

I'm glad you like the belts, like I said in the video I don't think their bad belts and the only real issue I have with them is their deceptive marketing and poor customer service. Nice carry choice, I carry a customized S&W shield iwb appendix. My range/ combat carry is a S&W performance center M&P 2.0, which I have videos on my channel, check it out.

@@jr303official Nice choice of weapon's, I also at times carry my S&W Shield Plus in 9mm. If you don't mind me asking, what type and make of appendix carry holster do you use? I've tried several and decided on the "We the People" Holsters.

@@Ron-bo6tb I use the Tier 1 tactical appendix holster. You should buy the foam wedges you attach and it makes it comfortable to use. I also bought the blackhawk appendix holster which works good aswell but the mag holder is garbage and your mag will just fall out.

JR these are nice belts. Have 2 for edc I got at Turners outdoor store.

I never said they were trash, I simply talked about the belts and my experience with the company. I'm not a pro China customer. I don't like how they market them selves as a pro America company, yet their stuff is from china.

I have 2 leather kore belts and I believe they are rated at about 4lbs. It says on their site that the tactical models are twice as stiff. I like the leather because I carry my glock 19 with 1 mag at work so not a lot of gear. BEst part is no one can tell its a gun belt and it has ample support and rigiity for my needs.

The thing is their not full grain leather, it's a cheap leather. I dissected the belt and it was not better the a mission belt and in fact I have better ones made with leather and they were less expensive. I could deal with alote of this except their customer service was horrific and they block and delete reviews they don't like. Try and say anything they don't like and they block you on FB, all I said was their China made belts not America like they portray but never really say on their website. A business with integrity should be willing to accept criticism.

I now own a brown and black leather versions and super pleased with them. I went and checked the site and it says top grain leather, not full grain. Either way they do the job better than my old belt and thats what I like. I do want to get the nylon web tactical now in ranger. I do not like that they are made in china thats not good. thanks

They are decent belts, I have a video of what my issue with Kore really is. I have even been getting fake accounts only on my Kore video trolling, after my experience with kore I wouldn't doubt that's it's not Kore them selves. It's just my opinion. I believe these belts have very little leather or its scrap leather, when I took them apart the material is strange and the "leather" has multi colored fibers in it. I'm glad the belts are working good for you, I just want to give yall full transparency so you can make informed decisions.

These kore belts are way the hell better than those mission belts. I picked up 2 mission belts after seeing them on shark tank show and they were total complete junk leathe5r and the buckle was bad too very jinky. THe buckles jam up all the time. I tossed them out man. You could not carry a rig with spare mags with them.No way. My kore does the job nicely. Its in a different world.

[@jr303official]

I'm glad you like your kore belts, although their made of a poor quality leather, and you can see that in the part 2 video. It was sad to pay so much and get them to find out their China made belts and they have poor customer service. I would say for the price, their is similar quality products out there for a lesser price. I appreciate your opinion and point of view.
