For many, the correct thickness and flexibility in a gun belt is the subject of debate. It must be tough enough to effectively hold a holster without sagging, but also has to be conforming to fit comfortably around your waist. First Tactical recently released some belts they want everyone to know about. Here are some details. First Tactical Range and BDU Belts First Tactical Belts are pre-curved for an ergonomic fit and composed of a double layer reinforced nylon webbing with a HD polymer buckle. Each belt features a double bar buckle that is built for low profile and a metal-free, airport-friendly wear. Designed to have half the bulkiness of its competitors, the double bar buckle works with First Tactical’s flip tab adjustment to facilitate grip for easy cinch and release. Each style of belt features a twill weave edge which provides smoother feeding through belt loops while five rows of stitching and two layers of rip-resistant HD nylon webbing provide strength for all of your gear. The belts also feature a small inner pocket, perfect for a cuff key, money, or other compact gear. Both the Range and BDU Belts come in Black, Coyote, and OD Green with widths of 1.5” or 1.75”. Both sizes range from small to 4XL. The Range belts sell for $19.99, while the BDU Belts sell for $14.99. You can see a short video further discussing the belts below. Modesto, CA based First Tactical tells us they build their gear with the expert user in mind. They work with LEOs, firefighters, and rescue professionals to ensure they make their stuff to hold up.
