The Kore belts work well if you're using Perry suspenders, which aren't typically used much by CCWers.
Not so much otherwise, as noted above.

Ok, Kore is off my list. I’m leaning hard to the Boxer Tactical Apogee right now.

I’ve got a Kore carry belt with the synthetic style front and I love it. I’ve been wearing it around 6 months now.
Plenty stiff for up to a G17 AIWB and reload on the belt OWB. I don’t carry anything heavier than a G17 though, and mostly a G19. Haven’t tried OWB carry, and don’t plan to. It may struggle with OWB carry and a heavy gun.
The ratchet system has been a marvelous revelation.
I wear the buckle at the 11 o clock and it is so easy to loosen/tighten surreptitiously, that it’s made my carrying life tremendously easier especially when driving or sitting down for dinner. It really is fantastic how it works.
It seems very sturdy, with no significant wear thus far, but it’s only been 6 months. But I’m totally convinced regarding the practicality of a ratchet system. Even if my Kore falls apart next month, I’d be getting another one until I found a more sturdy iteration, but it seems really solid so far.
I do, and I mentioned that to the OP over PM.
Tried a Kore before it was pretty underwhelmed at the build quality. It did look nice at first, I'll give it that. Traded it away.
The Boxer Tactical ratchet system is beefy, and the track is deep grooves on the back side of the biothane belt material. The biothane material is comparable to First Spear Line One belt. Some flexibility but rigid vertically to support the weight of gun and tools. I liked it overall.
I ended up transitioning to mostly using Mastermind belts, but if I were once again interested in going ratchet-style, Boxer is the only good option I know of so far.

Thanks! I’m currently using a Mastermind Tactics belt, and it works well. I’d just like to try something different, and the ratchet style belt seems like it may be a little easier to adjust. Plus, I like the idea of having the tail of the belt facing toward my left side, as opposed to having the tail double back to my right with the mastermind belt (or The Wilderness belt that preceded it).
If you or anyone else following this thread is interested, Carbon Tactics is having a 25% off sale this weekend with coupon code BANANA. I am not affiliated with them in any way, but just like their gear and service. I also have their Hook belt and, prior to getting the Cipher, wore it in the summer with hybrid board shorts.

I am pleased with my Kore ratcheting belt. Typical load is Sig P320 OWB and 1 spare mag.
