Great quality. Seems sturdy. Comfortable. And budget friendly

I never leave reviews for the most part. I originally needed a new belt for a hunt I made to Georgia, I needed a rig to handle my drop leg holster and added ammo for my sidearm and rifle. I came across this duty/ load out belt from Tacticon Armament and from the description it was just what I was looking for. I decided to make the purchase. The price was definitely a partial consideration and the price of this thing is well below most of the major players. After only a couple days, I believe it was 2 or 3 days, my new belt was in hand. The packaging was neat and clean with no wasted material, it was packaged in its own little clear bag closed by velcro. I can only verify my experience with this belt and thus far its been short lived. Once I had the package open the belt definitely felt tough, this is a two piece constructed belt, the outer belt contains your molle webbing and is rock solid, I ran 2 double stack mag pouches fitted with a 20 round AR10 mag with a glock mag attached to it, heavy load and it was solid. On the opposite side was a blackhawk serpa drop leg harness, again, everything fit solid, the rig also equipped a small trauma kit, we were hunting hogs in Southern Georgia. When I initially set this belt up I was a little disappointed, but not at anything to do with the belt, but the fact I thought I was fatter then I really was, I initially bought the largest belt Tacticon Armament offered. Now if this review helps anyone this is the tip, remember a tactical belt should fit a little snug, you don't want the belt falling off from your ass when your gettin it on in the heat of the moment, now did this happen, no, but it was JUST a fuzz big adjusted all the way in and throughout the hunt I walked about 10 miles, only having to stop and readjust everything only a couple times do to sagging. Overall the belt was comfortable, very comfortable, as I mentioned before its a 2 piece rig and the inner belt is padded nicely and slightly rubberized for some better grip. The 2 belts are mated with standard velcro, the stitching is very good across the whole rig, the quick release buckle was solid, never once came undone. Since my trip, I've secured another but smaller tactical duty belt from Tacticon, did I return the previous rig? No, it will either be given to a friend or I'll have the inner belt shortened? This is why I say examine your waist size correctly, Tacticon offers this rig in 3 sizes, Small 30-33 inch, Medium 34-39 inch and Large 40-46. Now I originally purchased the Large, my waist size in a bluejean is 40, I opted for the larger belt, however the Medium was the ticket with room for after holiday combat lol. You may ask about the belts rigidity, No, this rig is Not the most rigid on the market and after using it, it doesn't need to be, the mag pouches fully stocked and my thigh rig stayed put, no twisting or rolling down. I'm not here to sell you belts but wanted to put out a little psa, I haven't run this rig long enough to speak to its long-term performance, but from what I can tell it's going to last a long time. I'll follow up once I put more miles on er. I hope this helps any of you looking to get a great valued, good performing reliable rig, this probably isn't the rig for everyone, but if you're looking to get into using a battle belt, or your an old salty dawg, this thing is really worth checking out.

To the folks at Tacticon, Jake this is a nice unit, keep up the good work!!

So I've been going back and forth between a chest rig and a belt for a while, and at some point, I'll probably get both. But I decided to start with a belt. I've been researching, watching, etc, and everything that the "experts" recommend are around $100 or more. I found this one for $40 on some review websites. They seemed to like it, and after looking at the reviews here as well, I decided to give it a shot.

I'm not an operator. I'm just a slightly overweight dad-bod guy who wanted a way to carry a few extra mags at the range, and maybe have something handy if things go south under our current regime. I don't get to the range a ton, so this thing will probably be hung up 95% of the time. That's why the price was so attractive, and people said it was durable.

It arrived quickly, with a nice note from the owner thanking me for the purchase, and asking to leave a review. That's what small companies do, and I don't mind it at all. I can see some people griping, but c'mon, these guys have to start out somewhere, and word of mouth via review is how they do that.

Of course, like most of you, I was worried about the sizing. I did what the reviews said- take a piece of string, put it around your waist, over your clothes, and measure that. I normally wear size 38 or 40 pants, depending on the brand. Bit of a dad-gut. I ordered the medium. Pull it out of the package, put it on over my pants and shirt, snap the buckle, and guess what? It fit almost perfectly. Pulled back the velcro to tighten each side less than 1/2 an inch each, and boom, perfect. Couldn't be happier about the size.

I ordered a dump pouch from Tactical Tailor, a double-with gap pistol Esstac Kiwi pouch, and an Esstac 556 pouch. All of them fit on great, and felt good while on. Loaded them all up with fully loaded mags and the belt seems to hold just fine- no curling over, with just a slight sag that was fixed by tightening the belt a little more.

I was sufficiently impressed by Tacticon that I ordered their IFAK pouch too, directly from their website because they were still running the 50% off black friday sale in January! For $8, how could you go wrong? if it sucks, I'll give it to the kids to play with.

As far as durabilty, I have no idea. I've only worn it a little bit around the house to see how it rode and if it was comfortable. Yes, it is comfortable, and it rides just fine. Even threw my Safariland holster (paddle) with my P320 in it, and still it rode fine. Except for the noticeable but evenly-distributed weight, you'd almost forget it was on.

I'll update this once I wear it more, take it to the range, weigh it down, and put it through some paces, but as for now, I'm very happy. Will it last as long as something from Blue Force Gear, Crye, or Viking Tactics? Probably not, and I wouldn't expect it too. I mean, I'd hope those other ones are that expensive for a reason. If I were being deployed to Afghanistan or Chi-Raq, I'd get one of those. But for what I want to do, I expect this to hold up fine. And at this price, I'm thinking about buying another to set up for a different weapon load.

I bought this belt since I wanted to build a belt for shooting competitions and other options. I just see other belts costing so much when there are other options that can do the same. I wanted to give this a shot and I was not disappointed.

Well, one thing was of course you want a belt a little bit bigger than what you wear normally. This one was a bit bigger than expected, but I was hoping that the hook n' loop would be longer when trying to adjust. This is minor and I can get some sewn on. The laser cut Molle are pretty tight and might be tricky to get your straps through. However they seem sturdy and I do like that my pouches stay low.

Yes, you get only really one row of a full Molle strip, but you are able to get pouches securely attached. One thing I did like was that I could attach my holster platform through the belt and then lock it in with the hook n' loop. The padding is just right for me. It grips a hold of your clothing and body. Now, I ordered a large thinking it would be a descent size, but it was a bit too big. That's why I have to add more hook n' loop so the inside belt isn't just flapping. I probably would have ordered a medium and it would have been a perfect fit, giving a adjustment as well.

All in all, this is a great belt, sturdy, comfortable and what we like is affordable too. It's just practical and you don't always need to go expensive all the time. Of course, there are features that one might be after like possibly suspender loops, additional rows of Molle, or maybe a bit more lumbar support.

Mainly got this for a bump in the night scenario, just in case something happens and I want to have my weapon, flashlight, multitool, and many other items ready to go without searching for them! For the price it will not be as good as your +$100 belts but it is really close! I would buy this if I was looking to beat something up and not break the bank!
