I’ve been researching different types of belts for a while. This belt has everything other belts had that I looked at. It’s rigid, good width at 1.75 with a strong cobra buckle. I had good luck to try on my buddies before ordering and I went with the extra large. I’m a 35/36 waist and ordering the XL was a good decision especially when wearing over clothing.

Most belts this size from other companies don’t have the option to have an inner sticky belt. With the inner sticky belt, it can be quickly thrown on over clothing which is what I want it for. Most of the other popular brands use an inner Velcro belt, that option seems more sturdy and could be a good thing if you need a belt for matches. Just note that you have to thread a Velcro belt every time before wearing which takes time. You can always purchase a Velcro inner belt to have too.

I bought some bigger 1.75” hardware from Raven and Trex and the new loops fit, little tight but doable.

I read online reviews and watched some videos with ballistic gel and was intrigued. I ran a box of this through a Daniel Defense PDW 300. My buddy and I took turns with groups of 4 on 5 different targets. This was the worst performing round out of everything we shot that day and we were very surprised and disappointed. I really wanted this round to work because of the ballistics and expansion in the gel. Hornady makes a sweet round but this just didn't work out for my gun. I still recommend people try it, surely it will work well in another platform. From worst to best - Hornady 190g SUB, Sellier and Bellot 200g sub, Hornady Black 208g sub, Winchester super suppressor 200g open tip, Federal 220 was the best and had tight groups. Federal was also the loudest through the suppressor.
