I've never owned a straight gun belt, but I've tried a few on. Even though I have a straight body and no butt, they cut into my hips. Belts develop a contour over time, but I figured a stiff gen belt would take a lot longer to develop that curve. This belt was comfortable, from day one. I wear it daily, carry or not. And it supports my P938 in a Milt Sparks VM-2 like it's not even there.
Even using a 1.5" Carhartt belt, the gun was constantly pulling my pants down. I constantly pulling up the right side of my pants. No problems with this belt.
Pros: Contoured shape fits great, supports my IWB holster
Cons: Color - wish there were more choices
