I picked this up for like $9. I wanted a cheaper dressier 1 3/8" belt. It also works good for my p239 in a Milt Sparks. Buckle seems decent enough. Ratcheting will eventually wear out for sure but the hooks and plastic look like they'll last as long as the belt. On the other hand, my Johnston Gun Leather belt will probably never wear out.

Kore for the win. I have several. Looked at Nexbelt but chose Kore.

I have 4 of the Kore belts. When they first came out they were local to me so I stopped by their shop. I talked to the owner for quit a while and bought one. I really loved it so over the next few weeks I ended up with 4. I've worn nothing but them for years now with nary a problem.

They don't sag when I ccw and stay tight.
I highly recommend them.

I asked this very question a few months ago-

https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...490042415#7490042415

So there I am, after a long day of work, trying not to wake anyone in the house up, dancing in a circle trying to cut off a cheap ratchet belt made in CHI-na. My wife told me it was quite the funny sight.

After looking at a few belts, I settled on a KORE, and so far haven't had a problem.

A few different colors, styles and buckles. Rigid enough for an OWB and an IWB holster.

I have two Kore belts, one is delaminating at my 3 o'clock. I like them for OWB carry, but I prefer something with some stretch for IWB, like the Agonic belt

I use the Tenicor belt for edc and love it. At work I swapped from the traditional Sam Browne style to a Kore duty belt (now that I'm back in this game) with a chrome buckle. Very comfortable.

Alternative consideration with the same micro-adjustment capability: Tenicor Zero Belt.

How do you like the 1.75 belt? I almost always wear jeans. I have 1.50 belts. I have measured and think a 1.75 would work in the jeans belt loops, but have not tried it.

Thanks all for the replies. Now to decide what to buy.

Nexbelt does due Leather Ratcheting Belts:
