Hit and miss - Spec Ops Airport Friendly Better BDU Belt

This is my second review of this belt. In the first review I gave it five stars because it deserved five stars: the belt is stiff enough to hold up a heavy semiautomatic pistol yet not too stiff as to be uncomfortable. So, I bought a second one. The second one, although of high quality like the first, is much thinner and less stiff. I have noticed that others have mentioned this as well. The tan belt was stiff, the coyote brown belt was much to flimsy to work well as a gun belt. Therefore, I have to say that after a year of using these belts, I can not recommend them simply because you don't know what you are going to get. I spent $32 each for these belts and I expect consistent quality control. Too bad. When the time comes, I will look at other brands.
