Need help picking a click/ratchet style gun belt

[Larry T]

... I'd like to try the Kore "buffalo hide" belt (6lb), but leather doesn't fit with my edc dress.

The buffalo hide has a flat matte finish and isn't shiny like a dress belt.

Thanks. I prefer to not wear leather with Salomon’s and kydex.

I forgot to mention that I do have a black and a brown Kore “dress belt” (4lb?) that I wear with suits or to church. They work well for IWB, but not stiff enough for OWB with spare mags in my opinion.

That's my opinion as well. I still use my 8lb tactical nylon Kore for full OWB with a G17, light, and spare mag. But for AIWB it's the buffalo hide 6lb.

In the past I've used 5.1.1, Wilderness, Graith / Mastermind, and a few others. About 3 years ago I decided I was done with velcro and got a Kore "Tactical Nylon" belt with the X7 small "AIWB" buckle. It's rated for 8lbs and is a bit stiffer for AIWB than it needs to be, but still quite manageable for me. I love the ratchet system and will never go back to velcro or D-ring setups that "kinda sorta" don't slip. After 2 years the only wear on that belt was where the DCC clips wore on the belt from putting the clips on and off every day.

I also use a 4lb Kore leather belt when I need to wear a suit but its not sturdy enough for AIWB in cargo pants. A year ago I found Kore's "Western" buffalo belts rated at 6lbs. I wasn't interested in the western buckles so I bought a "belt only" and a 2nd X7 buckle and it's been perfect for the last year.

That buffalo is a nice shade/sheen for jeans and boots. Thanks for sharing!

My Kore is definitely stiffer, but I almost always end up going out the door wearing my Next belt.
