On September 9th I was riding my motorcycle in Nebraska, with my wife on the back. I was wearing my Kore gun belt, jacket, and helmet. As I was merging onto the highway, I hit an oil slick and the motorcycle went down. I slid across the highway on my back, keeping myself tucked in as close as possible. When we got home I inspected the motorcycle and riding gear for damages. My jacket had minor road rash, but my gun belt had a severe case of road rash. Apparently, the Kore belt bore most of the impact and the roadway slide. It saved my back and spine from injury. Thanks for a great product.
The best gun belt I've ever owned. After watching a few positive reviews on youtube when I was looking for a good gunbelt to start carrying, I went ahead and took a chance. I purchased my first Kore Trakline belt about a month ago. As a bigger guy who's always seemed to be in-between the notches on regular leather belts, it was great to find something truly comfortable, adjustable and could be worn with dress pants or jeans without being obviously tactical. I have since purchased a second belt (1st one was black, so I had to get the brown belt too) and couldn't be more happy with the purchase. For you first-time buyers, take the time to find the right length of belt you want and trim conservatively. Give yourself some flexibility in adjustment as you don't want the "tip" of the belt to be too short.
I have a Kore belt and its a terrific belt... definitely best belt I ever owned. It fits perfectly. Holds my holstered gun with no trouble, and no sagging at all. And I love the buckle system.
This is absolutely the BEST GUN BELT I have ever owned. Been wearing it every day and not a single mark on it. Love that it fits so well after a big meal, I can just loosen a bit. Great support for my IWB with no sag. This is the last gun belt I will ever buy, I got it in black and brown, will probably get a few more to give as gifts. Love it !
The Only Belt ! I tried a Kore Trakline belt months ago and I'll never buy a regular belt again. I bought another one for myself and another as a present for a neighbor. I bought all 3 gun belts. It holds it's shape and holds my firearm but looks great doing it. The ease of adjustments is far superior and in small increments that can be done sitting at a table or in your car in a second.
Kore is a Fantastic Gun Belt! I am a big guy, and wear my belts tight, so I have always had issues with the leather of belts wearing out quickly or the buckle assembly coming loose and having to be re-attached. I ordered a KORE gun belt based on a co-worker's recommendation and was interested to see what it was really like. Upon arrival, the belt was easy to cut and assemble and I have been wearing it every day since my purchase. It is the most comfortable belt I have ever owned and the adjustability makes it comfortable and effective all day long. I wear suits every day for work and the stylish belt fits right into my wardrobe perfectly. I will definitely be a lifelong customer.
Hi Talon, great video! I love the fact that you get right down to it. No time wasted, just pure info that I can appreciate. I'm only into your video to 1:34 but was really impressed how you don't waste time. Great teaching style; quick, natural and full of meaningful facts.
Every review I read (before I bought) the Kore gun belt turned out to be true. I never thought I would be so “in love” with a belt! But this product exceeds my expectations! My other belts are all now history! Even if I'm not carrying... I still wear this belt everyday. Nothing more stylish and comfortable. Superb job Kore Essentials! Simply the best!
This Kore belt is the best heavyweight gun belt I've ever owned. The way the leather conforms to the body increases the comfort a lot compared to other stiff reinforced belts I've used. The ratchet mechanism is excellent too. I highly recommend it.
Kore is a Great quality gun belt I have owned plenty of gun belts before but this one is my favorite. Other belts were so bulky and thick. But the Kore gun belt is much more slim and fits into belt loops better. Plus the track line system is wonderful. Having the ability to micro adjust your belt depending on the pants you are wearing, and how you are feeling is awesome! Great job KORE!
I love the look of Kore's buckle and black leather but the functionality is even better. Carrying my full frame guns is now comfortable with zero sagging. With just a couple of clicks it's easy to adjust for the added weight. This belt always holds its form.
This Kore gun belt is very well made. I now have a brown and black one and I use them everyday. The quarter inch increments make for superb adjustability and allows you to accommodate any holster and any weight fluctuations.
Kore = Durable, Comfortable, & Versatile! I've been wearing my Kore Essentials belt daily for over a year now and it out handles everything I've thrown at it and looked great while doing it! I LOVE the adjustment capabilities of these belts. I never had to worry about which hole I would fit in as I was losing/gaining weight through the year. I appreciate that it's reinforced as well because I work in construction and it has handled tools being clipped and hung from it and beaten around 48+ hours a week.
So I got a cheap holster to get me by until my Gearcraft comes in. I was getting comfortable with it tonight and practicing drawing, and good lord I didn't realize how sketchy it is trying to draw with a flimsy belt. It's a nice Levi's leather belt, but it literally moves a good 1.5" to 2" up until the gun is free from the holster. So I will definitely be looking into a good, solid gun belt. Thanks for the update man!
+Casey Hardman they are both holding up great. I gave one to my friend to try and we both love em. The buckle is definitely the most convenient gun belt buckle I've ever seen and they look good and function even better
This Kore gun belt is a great sturdy belt for EDC. I am a smaller framed guy who carries a Smith Wesson MP Shield IWB and this belt supports that gun with no issue. I love the high level of adjustment of the belt which makes it extremely comfortable. Awesome gun belt at an awesome price and extremly fast shipping as well, I plan to get another for a backup as well !
First video I've seen of you. Was in a related category. Gotta say that you nailed it. Great EDC. I slimmed down my edc as well about 2 years ago and have never felt under geared. I don't need a machete in my pocket to open boxes. All the tools in small footprint works well. Again, great job.
Excellent Kore gun belt Although this is my first gun belt, I’d tried to research my purchase first. The reviews on RU-vid for the Kore gun belt were great and I was very happy I chose this. Very comfortable, easy to adjust my inside waistband carry and holds it strongly in place. A bonus to it is that it is “untactical” looking enough that it doesn’t stand out in my daily business activities.
Bought 2 of the Kore reinforced gun belts in the brown and the black leather last month and they are aces. These are the best gun belt I've ever had. I watched a bunch of these review videos before I made my purchase and glad I did. They are stiff enough to support my S&W 9mm and yet comfortable enough so I don't even know I have it on. I didn't want a gun belt that looked like a gun belt and this does the job. So I am back to post my reviews on these channels so others know what to get. I will be buying their new tactical belt when it comes out too for my larger pistols.
I am very happy with both of my Kore gun belts. They support weight the way I need them to daily. The function is sleek, innovative, and reliable! Best of all, it looks as good as it works. KORE really knocked it out of the park with trakline system.
Best belt I've ever worn! I bought the KORE belt to be worn for casual and dress wear, and as a gun belt for concealed carry. It's an outstanding belt for all of these applications! As a dress belt it looks as good as (or better than) any I've worn to date. It's looks the part for even the most casual clothes. Being able to adjust its fit by 1/4" increments allows for a perfect fit for any clothing, and for any EDC. The nylon reinforcement allows a great degree of flexibility around the waist while keeping the belt from sagging under the weight of a full size M&P9.
I've heard a LOT of great things about that belt, but i have a hard time jumping ship from my Daltech SuperBios. they're nice looking synthetic belts that mimic the look of Leather. So you get a relatively rigid belt, without the stretching and deformation of leather. Great video, though. Your old EDC video is what brought me to your channel. keep it up.
...have both the black and brown kore essentials belt with two different buckles...love it, as you said, not flop and I really like the small incremental adjustability...
For two different people, it’s crazy how we’re so much alike from the gun, motorcycle, & car interest to our lifestyle like the partying & our occupation 😂 nice to meet you brother 😅
I really like this Kore gun belt. The simple adjustment makes it easy to keep everything in place. I ordered the reinforced 1.5 in size for concealed carry of my pistol. It doesn't matter if I am carrying my compact 9mm or my full frame .45 everything stays put with this belt. I will be returning to buy more Kore belts I have no doubt.
These Kore belts are amazing. I recently bought two gun belts and decided to add another buckle to complete both sets. I couldn't be happier with all of the Kore Essential products. I've been recommending these products to all of my coworkers
I just got the trayvax axis. Mine blocks rfid scanners though cause I bought a sheet of 24 gauge titanium and made cards to go in the front and the back of my cards. Looks cool, looks industrial.
oh yeah bro !! these are the type of vids i enjoy looking at on tube. straight and direct points on the products and links to everything spoken on. thumbs up and subscribed as well !! oh imma link up your guy for a walther ppqm2 holster !!
I've been using the Kore gun belt nonstop for the last two weeks and it's so much better than a traditional gun belt. I have the reinforced version and it supports the weight of a fullty loaded Glock 19 and a radio with out any issues. It's stylish enough to be worn in any but the most formal settings and avoids the utilitarian look most gun belts have. If this belt holds up long term like I think it will I will not hesitate to buy another.
This Kore belt is the best belt ever. I wear it in a suit with a weapon and other equipment. There’s no sagging and the minor adjustments are perfect to stay comfortable whether sitting or standing. I wear it with jeans, khakis, everything except swim shorts.
I feel you on not using a 3.5-4 inch blade to cut a letter open or clean your nails but I still see the value of a large blade as a backup self defense option. I carry a small blade like a shuffle or dragonfly for edc tasks and a large blade in my back left pocket on the opposite side of my gun but it just never comes out for tasks. In my summer edc I only had a shuffle and a razor knife but that didn't last long. I find myself in places or states that I can't carry in from time to time so I know if I keep a tactical folder in my edc I'll always have it for those times I can't carry and as a backup to the gun.
Recently found your channel in referance to Glocks, but subbed because I'm always looking at different EDC ideas and set-ups. I 100% agree with you on the Streamlight Microstream. Had no idea what I was missing until I started EDC'ing a flashlight. Definitely want to look into the Manbug as a possible addition to my EDC.
The Kore gun belts are by far the best. I know because I actually purchased a track style gun belt from a competitor of theirs first, but it wasn't sufficient. I had a medical emergency (I dislocated my artificial hip) and it left me pretty much immobilized from the waist down. The place where I went down didn't leave the EMTs much room to get to me. So the EMT's grabbed on to my Kore gun belt and lifted me up. I weigh 235 pounds, so there had to be 150 to 175 pounds of dead weight supported by the ratchet system - that's is considerably more than is required to hold my pants! Even adding my firearm doesn't come close. Anyway I wanted to let everyone know that if you are looking for a gun belt, the kore system is awesome! It goes above and beyond.
The Kore gun belt is the Best belt I've ever owned ! Over a year of use wearing it everyday mostly 10hrs plus a day. Unbelievably it only shows wear on the buckle which is going to happen if you wear it at a physical job.
If you wanted to keep the compression lock from your PM2 while having a smaller overall knife you should check out the Spyderco Lil Native. Still fits great in a coin pocket but has a more sturdy build.
lol. As soon as you showed the 5.11 belt, I was thinking you should have picked up a different belt. Then a few seconds later you hold up the belt I was going to suggest! I like the EDC update. Nice setup man.
My XDS also has the pinky extension with the talon grips and Federal HST ammo. Good stuff. I also have a set of Truglo TFX's on mine that are pretty sweet. I was hesitant thought because I do like what comes on it from the factory just wanted the night sights.
Prefer the Dragonfly2, the extra .25 inch of blade, but mainly the front finger choil provide both more control and real estate for the hand. Thanks for the heads up on the belts.
Kore makes an awesome gun belt for EDC, excellent quality, super comfortable. No hassle sizing and works exactly as advertised. Allows me to get perfect fit when I appendix carry. Will be purchasing more styles,colors. Would recommend to anyone looking for great quality product.
Just want to say that i love your videos . The first one i saw was your EDC on my related videos and i was apprehensive at first because i am nott that into guns. Since watching your videos it has sort of changed my mind i live in Detroit and i feel like i just need to be prepared in case. I am hoping to start my own youtube channel soon and you have given me a lot of inspiration.
+Anthony Evans awesome man glad to hear it. There is a lot of super serious boring videos of guns on RU-vid so I try to keep it fun and quick. Stay safe brotha 👊🏻
Thanks i enjoy your other content as well, wont be long until you are huge on youtube. My brothers birthday is coming up and this video has given me a couple ideas on what to get him. He has his CCW so i am really leaning towards that belt.
Why didn’t get one of these Kore gun belts sooner!? Much better fit and function. I love the rigidity and the 1/4” sizing points. Much better. The X2 buckle is perfect and goes with everything. I highly recommend this gun belt. I’m looking forward to getting more.
Dude. I love your channel. I've even shared it with friends. Hope it grows, and you put out the type of content that I like to see. Cheers brother, from another bearded brother.
I re-holster my XDs the same way. Gun belt is super important and I'm actually in the market. Can't wait to see what you're doing to the G19. Agency, Salient, or dare I say, Jagerwerks? Looking forward to what you have in store. Excellent video brother.
Check out the Ares Aegis belt! That have top quality gear! I had that same 5.11 belt for 3 years but after changing to ares I won't be going back to 5.11
Hey Talon. Great vid. I just ordered a Cinch belt from Trayvax. I don't carry a gun, but it looks like a good belt. Also bought one of their wallets, Original 2.0. Love it
Talon Sei got the belt in about a week ago been wearing it everyday. I love this thing. No problem at all holding the weight of a 1911 and 2 extra mags great product thank you for showing it off.
Thanks for the video. The HST is a great round. In my shorter barreled nines, I started running their 147gr or their 150gr Micro HSTs. Good stuff. The 5.11 Trainer belt has been part of my EDC for almost 10 years, and it is probably one of my favorites. I just picked up a Pixel XL to replace my Note 3 as a work phone. It's a great phone and makes a good companion for my personal LG G4. Android4life!
The Pixel is really nice. After carrying mostly Nexus phones and then going to a Samsung for work was almost like going to the dark side (apple). It's nice to be back to Vanilla Android. It sucks that VZW has the bootloader locked down, so no root. :(
have you looked into replacing the clip on your holster with leather soft loops? I switched and it made a world of difference. Great video keep up the good work.
Hey, just wanted to let you know, that I saw this video and immediately had to purchase the Spyderco manbug and Gerber dime. They have both arrived and are amazing!!! This will make my EDC even more compact!! Thank you!!
Excited to see what you are having done with Glock! I need to get gun belt too, i carry all the time and always tell myself i need one but never go and get one I will for sure check out Kore essentials. Thanks for the video, i am really happy i found your channel!
Talon im lovin the videos man! My first edc gun was the xd sub 9....then the xds 9 haha. i have been rocking the 5.11 tactical belt for almost a year now and it has held up fantastic, but I am pretty interested in the belt you showed. It is astonishing how much difference a good gun belt can make. Man post an update and let us know how you like it. The design is pretty unique but i want to know how it holds up. Also if you use a tech/edc backpack do a review. Im in IT as well and in our profession a backpack is often times part of the edc. If you have one show it. Great videos man, keep em coming!
another nice video. I wear my 5.11 belt every day and love it. interested to see whats going on with the Glock. Im still looking for a reliable place to send mine to get some slide work done and maybe cerakoted.
I think I'm really liking your channel. I'm a gun guy and I've been riding bikes just as long as I have been shooting. Glad I subbed. Can't wait to see what you did to your Glock. What model do you have? I have quite a few handguns from 22 LR to 45 ACP. Love the new Shield in 45 ACP. It might be my next purchase.
Keep the shard. Good for prying. And you’re right the scissors on the dime suck. They are useless. I prefer Leatherman squirt ps4 all day over the dime. Much better quality
Will never go back to traditional buckles! As my weight goes up and down it was impossible to keep my belt at the right tension to be comfortable and support my holster. This Kore gun belt is awesome. It's my second kore belt so I have the colors covered, don't wear anything else now.
I have six flashlights that run on 18650 batteries. (I vape, so I have at least 2 fresh batteries ready at any time) They're on my belt, in my coat, car, kitchen and two in my three-day-bag that I take almost everywhere. I also have three headlamps. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
Looking to hear your long term feedback on the Kore belt. I've been wanting to give it a try, but cannot justify it right now, since i have two belts I love for carry.
Hi greetings from Ireland, I've come across this by just sniffing around you tube, I found you're style very cool and professional and like you I too like neat and tidy only way to live .👍
