Watch this before you buy a concealed carry belt

In this video I go over my experience with the Hunter Constantine Concealed Carry Belt vs the Kore Essentials Concealed Carry Belt.
The Hunter Constantine Belt has an stretchy back end to make more comfortable wearing it all day, which you can also use it without belt loops and be fine. The Kore Essentials belt is more of your traditional style belt that is stiff all the way around. They both have their pros and cons.
Everything is subjective obviously. These are my thoughts and experiences with both belts.
Which would you choose?

I have both, recently got the HC belt. Never had back issues but the relief you get with HC is instant and insane! Still have love for kore but there’s a huge difference. If you carry appendix give the HC belt a try you will not be disappointed.

Johnny I got a tan web kore belt for christmas last year and damn is it nice! I am still impressed with it. Told Santa I wanted a 2nd one in camo this year to switch it up. Like that one even more.

You have to go through a few crappy belts before you can fully appreciate the Hunter Constantine belt.

[@tianlamian]

the way i started with the HC belt, tried a bunch of others all just to come right back

[@codylemons3036]

Have both belts and love both belts they both have there uses. The Kore belt is perfect for looped pants and shorts. And the HC belt is an absolute must! for basketball shorts and joggers or pants with out belt loops IMO both awesome products can’t go wrong with either one.

[@charcomojado]

Thank you.

Thanks for the video! I’ve been using a Kore belt for a few years and I really love it for support, but I’m currently barely able to walk from the pressure it puts on my lower back(messed up disks), which is how I ended up here. The elastic in the back is VERY intriguing. I’ll be doing a bit more research, just cause I don’t want it pulling forward with a G19. I’m thinking of just running it independently, against the body, and then loosening up the Kore to just enough to keep the pants up.

[@jasonrad9332]

I have both, just got the HC last night and am wearing it for the first time. So far I like the comfort of the HC. We’ll see as I use it more.

[@jrwinckler6744]

You like the hc belt more you think?

[@jasonrad9332]

@ yes

[@juhmonti]

I found myself going back to my ratcheting nextbelt over the HC belt recently. As much as I liked the stretch in that belt, I could never get it sized so I was happy with it. It was always either way too tight or had too much give when I was carrying a full size gun. I also found the buckle side of the HC belt dug into my hip bone if I wasn't wearing a gun. I may give it another go later, but for now I'm using the nextbelt for my carry belt.

the adjustment could be annoying, its almost as if it needs a few more loops to adjust easier on the fly

[@luckylandy2945]

I have a couple of both and took them both to my 1st self defense shooting class in Oklahoma and actually my HC belt i wore the entire trip. I recently went back to my Kore due to I travel alot lot, and it's easier on me when I have to #2 on the road. Lol

[@Matthewslee596]

My kore belts are the best I've ever had. I can carry a Beretta 92 inside or outside the waist and my pants won't sag. Worth every penny imo.

[@wjbailey7210]

Tenicor Zero Belt. More adjustable than Kore, lighter than both of those, and no buckle to get in the way of appendix carry. I use Kore for OWB, which works great.

[@Lamarhare2420]

For all around cc purposes the kore belts are the way to go esp for the cost.

[@NoahDollarSign]

In March bought the Kore 2 belt bundle for $120. I got 1 leather for work and 1 tactical model for range Awesome belts that are very very adjustable and supportive!No regrets and no issues. Before I bought I did check out the HC tactical belts and its $115 for one? From what I was told theyre really only useful for inside carry and its very overtly tactical and not great to adjust

[@LawrenceSeale]

I typically run either my black or my brown leather kores belts which fit like a dream. Theyre not overly stiff and almost makeme forget I'm carrying a glock The constantine belt looks too overtly tactical for my uses I need more grey man

[@SparkyTactics]

How on earth can a belt meant for concealed carry be too “overtly tactical”? It shouldn’t be showing 😂

[@9MMBJF]

Ran my HC belt for yesterday’s competition, not too bad but I should’ve tightened up the belt a bit more.

[@JohnnyPewtah]

My range is funny about that, they arent crazy about aiwb. I need to see if i can do aiwb for USPSA one of these days.

[@garrettlundy3959]

For all these years I’ve been successfully CCWing with an old leather Dickies belt I got at Walmart. How foolish of me 😂

[@geebanger68]

😂 😂 Shame on you

[@kevinboswell7340]

What would you recommend for a first time belt? I’ve been debating about the two for the longest.

[@PoppaVerga]

I have both, I suggest the HC belt for EDC but the Kore for OWB. The HC belts stretch is less painful when sitting. Also when I take my holster off I actually forget I'm wearing the belt.

[@reaIdeaIneaI]

It really depends on what pants you daily wear. If you mainly wear pants with loops then go with the Kore essential. If you wear let’s say gym shorts or elastic pants go with the Constantine belt. I personally wear the Kore essential belt with a low profile x7 buckle and I love it. It’s been the best belt as far as longevity and ease of use/ quick adjustability. The Kore will be less of a headache for your first belt and may just be the only belt you need to buy.

[@JohnnyPewtah]

You could really flip a coin and pick… I’d go HC belt, but i also wore the kore for a while with no issue, as long as you just adjust for your needs, like loosen when getting in a car or sitting for a while.. HC is more comfy without having to adjust at all

[@CaroJulia-z8o6b]

Had a nexbelt for a few months til it frayed so bad got stuck in buckle for me and not functional. But I love how the ratchet belts fit so precisely so got a kore last year after I saw a review and its still going strong no issues so far

[@Lucas12official]

Tbh I found my Hunter belt is really only good for appendix and not great for owb and not that great for adjusting to get my size right and holding my rig steady. I do use it some days. I did get a tactical and leather kore 2 belt bundle in march and its def more versatile and leather good for going out. the kore is very damn comfortable and of course it is way better sizing and adjusting. overall I prefer my kore.

[@JohnnyPewtah]

The hunter belt is designed for AIWB, i wouldnt think it would work that good for OWB. Everyones needs/bodies are different. What works for one person might not work for someone else. I still like my Kore, but i dont wear it nearly as often
