Looking at ordering from Kore today. Anybody have an alternate solution in the same vein that I should look at?
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Why would you order a pot metal hardware made in China belt when better can be had nearly the same or less, to include brand/models in this very thread?

and what are those, exactly?
you said earlier in the thread "Not a fan of ratcheting belts." which IMO pretty much disqualifies you from this conversation.
Unsure why so many people on the internut always feel the need to reply to "I'd like a kumquat" with "kumquats are stupid, you need an orange".
if you're going to suggest an orange, at least first (a) qualify your opinion on kumquats and then (b) suggest the best kumquat should one insist on same.

Um no. You publish in a public forum, not DQed from weighing in. Don't like it. Don't post up. I am completely comfortable letting the readers on this forum decide who carries the day on a given point of discussion/contention, to include anything you have ever posted up on to date.
I will be more clear for you as I apparently was not. I commit to writing more clearly when you ask for an opinion re your prospective gear choices.
I am not a fan of the KORE ratcheting belt because it has pot metal made in China hardware. The company has no transparency whatsoever re country of origin yet charges 60-70 dollar for a belt with craptastic hardware made with craptastic leather.
50 so odd questions down in their "FAQs," they essentially say they manufacture in asia because it cost 2-3x more than to do it in the USA. We know thats BS because Boxer is doing a similar product for 85.00 which means KORE is simply padding a margin with a decidedly inferior product as evidenced by its relatively meager 1 year warranty. IMHO, the whole ratcheting system is ok at best for golf pants and sucks it for carrying serious gear relative to old school holes in the belt and the hardware used by Wilderness, Maxpedition and Graith/Mastermind Tactics.

The Boxer brand belt would be the best choice by far both in terms of materials, warranty and country of origin.

But hey, you work hard for the money. Buy what you what you what and let us know how it works out for you.

The boxer tactical buckle is way too big to me to even consider using it
I use KORE belts. Everyday it's their leather with the appendix buckle, I think it's called X7. On days when I shoot IDPA I switch to a nylon belt with the appendix buckle
Nexbelt has an appendix carry buckle too but I haven't tried it yet
I’m a little unsure about the bulk of the Boxer buckle, too.
I’ve had many belts with buckles made from “pot metal” (a very vague term, usually used to disparage) and have never had a buckle fail. For me this would be a belt used to keep my jeans from falling down around my ankles and stably carry a pistol, magazine and phone. I wouldn’t be using it to clip in when I’m a space shuttle door gunner. A die cast buckle would be sufficient for me.

Any downside to using the X7 for non-appendix carry, or even no-carry, that you can think of?

I have a KORE Essentials belt and it works just fine.
