Glad you enjoyed the review, you designed a phenomenal belt. Thank you for shedding some light on the pricepoint. That was my assumption, but it's good to know for sure. If you check out my Holosun EPS Carry review, you will learn how I feel about Chinese outsourcing vs supporting American manufacturing. I will always pay a little more to support Pro-2A American businesses who make quality products.

@@NightwoodGuns AMEN!

Good for you for supporting USA manufacturing, Bro! I don't own this yet, but it looks fantastic and I will have ASAP. Much appreciation for your efforts!

@@fl2tx11b we stand together!

@@hunter-constantine Placed an order directly from you last week.. Don’t mind waiting for good quality

In an industry full of shills, honest reviews go a long way 😂👍 I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel and I’m sorry about your wallet!

I’m glad to hear the channel has been a good resource for you! 😎👍

I go more in depth with my buckle experience in my full Kore review 👍

Yup

💯

Sounds like people are buying Gucci kore belts and they really don't even carry appendix 😂

The kore belt buckles stick out too much and are too big. They aren’t comfortable.

Glad you enjoyed the review! 😎👍

Definitely a great belt! You guys know what’s good! 😎👍

Right on! Enjoy! 🙌

Very nice! Great carry setup! 😎👍 I love my KORE belt, this is just a more comfortable option to have on hand. How do you like the MSP Pro, btw?

Nice! Congrats on getting one! It’s a very comfy belt 😎👍

Happy to hear it 😎👍

I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! I’m grateful that DPM Systems decided to sponsor a bunch of videos, Handleitgrips offered to sponsor a couple of vids, and I caught Radian’s attention. It’s definitely starting to happen, slowly but surely. 😎👍 Thanks for being along for the ride!

I’m interested to see how it holds up, too. It seems like people who have been running the OG Hunter Constantine belt have great things to say about longevity. So we’ll see 👍

Congrats on getting one! Who would have thought that snagging a belt would be an accomplishment 😅 I hope you enjoy it 👍

That’s how I plan on wearing it with jogging pants and shorts. Is material comfortable or does it chafe?

@@davidrocha6857 I find it comfortable. The phlster enigma with the sports band is more comfortable IMO

Right on! Thats great to hear 😎👍

Right on! 😎👍

Nice! That’s where I’m at with it, too! Sitting is so much more comfortable 😎👍 We’ll see how it holds up, but I’m optimistic.

Hope you liking the belt now that you have time with it?

@@swiftaudi I love this belt, and have been wearing it daily! However, the loops (3) that the hook attaches to are coming apart. We bought our budy at the range the Constantine version, which has only two loops at the hook attachment, and his seems to be holding up better than mine.

@@TheGregRussell I heard the loops have been upgraded recently not sure if that’s why.

@@swiftaudi that is great news! I'll definitely be ordering another

Thanks, much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed!

Welcome to the channel! After a year the back portion has stretched and pinched a tiny bit but then stayed put. It required one adjustment but it’s going strong 👍 And yeah, we are a rare breed. But it’s always nice finding my people in the comments! 😅 I’m glad you are well cultured and pro gun!

​@@NightwoodGunsthat's a good sign. I don't expect it to last forever, but for the price, I'd like to get three years out of it. I'm debating between the Tier 1 or the Hunter Constantine version, which lacks the third loop for the hook. Has that third loop been used in your daily wear? Coincidentally, in relation to your Gurren Lagann figurines, my last cosplay was Kamina with my friend as Yoko. Have you done any cosplay?

@@TuxedoBond I only run it on the third loop 👀😎 If I eat a huge meal i can take it out to the second or first loop 👍 That’s an awesome cosplay! Gurren Lagann is probably my favorite anime of all time. (I even have a Gurren Lagann tattoo) I haven’t cosplayed but I do go to conventions. One of these years my wife and I will probably go all-in and cosplay something 😂👍

😎👍

😎👍 Glad you enjoyed the review

The Tier 1 is definitely my favorite low-profile/comfort belt so far. 👍 Thanks for the comment!

Glad you enjoyed 👍

Nice, man! 😎👍 I wish you luck in getting your hands on one during the next drop!

@@NightwoodGuns shoot me 2 brother 😂

@@TexasShotz 😂👍

I’ve heard mixed opinions on the Agonic. But I definitely like and recommend this one 😎👍

I never heard of that belt till today. That belt looks similar but it is able to hold stuff inside the internal pockets and hide the belt clips. I don’t think the HC belt can

Nice! Let me know how it compares to the Tenicor Zero. I’m thinking it will be a bit sturdier 🤔

How do you like the belt OP

Update?

Definitely pros and cons for both but, ZERO is still the better value by a small margin. The ease of adjustability and putting on/taking off the belt, the seemingly perfect balance between flexibility and rigidity, and the price is what gives it the top spot IMO. HC belt has the advantage in terms of sturdiness on the front and complete flex on the back (better comfort) but getting through belt loops is annoying and the price is hard to justify with many options out there. If you are new to CCW and don’t have a belt, HC is the way. If you already own multiple belts and are looking for comfort and simplicity, go ZERO. Going forward I plan on using the HC for long periods where changing clothes/outfits is not a consideration, and the ZERO for when I need to be quick about getting ready or plan to change clothes throughout the day. Good luck folks!🤙🏽

Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying the vids! 😎👍 It is just a marketing collab between the two. The T1C branded buckle is the only difference that I’m aware of. Same thing they do with Kore.

@@NightwoodGuns gotcha. Appreciate it man!

Of course! 👍

You’re the first person to spot Bloodborne in all this time! Congrats! Welcome to the channel and may the good blood guide your way.

🙌

What do you think about it so far I placed my order yesterday I’m super anxious to get it on lol

That pretty much sums up my experience 😅

Reading through the reviews on this, and this comment hit home 😂

@@seltiks911 I did end up buying one and I don’t like it as much as my Kore belts. It’s more comfortable fire sure but just doesn’t conceal as well as the Kore belts do. I still wear it when I am wearing baggier clothes up top but on a regular basis I’m still rocking the Kore

@@wessowell6616 thanks for the response. I have a blue alpha and a Tenicor and I can’t tell which one I like more, sometimes one conceals better than the other At times I feel the Tenicor doesn’t keep my setup where I want it kept

Glad you enjoyed the vid! 👍

From what I’ve seen it looks like the Tenicor Zero is probably the best minimalist belt on the market. I’d love to try one, I just can’t buy everything in existence 😂 I might see if they’ll send me one, I just prefer to avoid bias where I can.

@@NightwoodGuns I completely understand that. They take great pride in their products so I’m sure they wouldn’t be worried about a negative review because I bet they’d think you wouldn’t give one anyway 😂 if that makes sense

Makes sense to me, I’ll give it a shot 👍

Agreed! 😎👍

😂👍

100% agreed! Sounds like we had the same observations and reservations, but so far so good! 😎👍 I’m very pleased with it!

I’ve heard great things about the Alias 👍

Glad you enjoyed the vid! I’m afraid that video idea would be short. It’s just the KORE essentials belt. Works best for every carry position and every body type.

Glad you enjoyed! And yes, it is 1.5” 👍

I have not, but I’ve heard great things. It seems like this belt excels at comfort whereas the Tenicor belt is a great minimalist option.

😎👍

This is exactly the Hunter Constantine belt with an extra loop and a different logo 👍

Nice! Nexbelts and KORE belts are best all-around 👍 The convenience is hard to beat.

Nice! Good job snagging one! 😎👍

It works well 👍 One of the better options out there!

😎👍

Glad you enjoyed! Same challenges with lite dumps and even quick dumps… 😂

Nice! 😎👍

I tried the Enigma for a year. It is a well made system… it was just to much daily work for me and it wasn’t the best concealment-wise. Welcome to the channel, have a look around 😅👍

Very similar, just a bit sturdier up front and no Velcro 👍

@@NightwoodGuns I think I might get this for my girlfriend 😁

😁👍

Nice job snagging one! I’m glad you like it! 😎👍

@@NightwoodGuns I missed the first batch but got on the email list and jumped when they sent it.

Sweet! You were quick on the draw! 🙌

Awesome! I’m glad to hear they are still going strong! 😎👍

Also when putting the belt on it’s better to start from your back belt loop and when unbuckling hook it the closet loop so it doesn’t shoot off lol

@@NightwoodGuns awesome content man from fellow Desert rat 🙏🏽

@@ARID-APACHE That’s similar to what I normally do, just did it different on camera lol! Glad you are enjoying the content, man! Always nice hearing from another desert dweller🌵👍

Looking forward to discussing it a bit in the comments when the video goes live 👍 We’ll see how our observations compare.

They know what’s up! 😎👍

I always find the good stuff 😅👍

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the vid, welcome to the channel! 😎👍

Glad you’ve been enjoying the channel! 👍 Yeah, the attachment system can be a pain in the butt if you are coming from a ratchet system. Looking forward to seeing how this concept evolves 😎

Yea that's my issue with it I don't like the hookup

Glad you enjoyed! 😎👍

For me it’s the comfort while sitting. The way it flexes with my body while sitting is so much better than a normal belt. It’s definitely comfy, we’ll see how it holds up over time. I’m optimistic. 👍

@Nightwood Guns I haven't had the opportunity to use it at work yet, I'll probably give it at least a week run there since I'm sitting in a truck or on a mower for the majority of the day. Definitely optimistic myslef.

Right on! 😎👍

Update? Are you still carrying it?

@tonytiger2450 I am. I go between it and my kore belt. It's held up pretty well. The only thing I can say it may be a con or not depending on your preference but it doesn't conceal just the pistol by itself as well as it does the appendix rig style holsters for me.

That would be nice 👍 Glad you enjoyed the review

There may a be a 1.75” prototype in the pipeline

Very nice! I think you’ll be happy when you get it! 😎👍

Always smart to wait for reviews. I took a gamble and luckily it’s awesome! 😎👍

I didn’t say it was a big problem, it can be done. It’s just clearly designed for and thrives with appendix carry. I don’t think it particularly excels at behind the hip carry vs the lower back comfort it offers at AIWB. Especially for the price, I feel like other cheaper belts would be better suited for behind the hip. I’m glad the belt has been working out for you so far, though 👍 As you can tell, I’m very pleased with it.

@@NightwoodGuns that's fair... it wouldn't be my first choice for 4 o'clock either, but it's usable.

Is this belt any different from Constantine’s one, or is it just a marketing collab with tier1, but still the same belt?

@@Dansal1980 One thing I noticed is that the Tier 1 has three adjustment loops, where mine only has two.

Will do! 👍

This is the way

I have both. Prefer this tier 1 belt.

Groove belt was a little too flimsy when I tried it. This is the perfect middle ground 👍

@Nightwood Guns For sure, it is a bit flimsy. When I carry my P10C it can get a little droop. With my shield plus it's comfy. I have a nexbelt and find it to be horribly uncomfortable, prints a lot, and doesnt seat my holsters well. I'm going to try this tier 1 eventually.

I feel ya! 😎👍 Whenever these are more available, I definitely recommend it.

Would you like the stiff portion of this belt to a nex belt level of stiffness?

It might be a little overpriced, but I do still recommend it 😎👍 Not mass produced and it’s made by good people so I’m okay paying a premium. Definitely one of my better “panic buys” 😂

😎👍

100% Staccato every time. Runs 100% out of the box, if by some small chance you have an issue Staccato has industry-best customer service, night and day quality difference between the two. It’s worth spending a little more to buy once/cry once. If you haven’t already, be sure to familiarize yourself with the ins & outs of the platform (keep it oiled, dealing with the manual safety, protect the feed lips on mags, proper disassembly/reassembly, etc.) and you’ll be good to go!

Thanks a lot I appreciate it.

😎👍

It’s less important than you think and depends on the stretch of the waistband and the size of the gun. I recommend getting your holster/gun and wearing it concealed to your clothing store of choice. That way you can go into the fitting room and actually try your gear with different styles/sizes of pants to see what works best for you. Just make sure to be safe and leave the gun in the holster as you transfer it to different pants.

@@NightwoodGuns thanks

Tier 1 Concealed Axis Slim 👍

Was hoping they made the elite for my USP compact. Thanks for the reply

@@seadevil26 I wish they did, too. 😂 Luckily the axis slim is still good, I just need to run it with a wedge.

I think it depends on your needs. I’d probably go comfort concealment if I *only* planned on running it without belt loops. I’d go with the EDC-S/Hunter Constantine belt if I wanted the option of doing both, it’s sturdier and runs better as a normal belt.

thank you sir 👍🏼@@NightwoodGuns

Nothing wrong with that! Ideally I’d like to buy and try everything on the market, it’s just not very feasible. 🤷‍♂️

It’s not better, it’s just different. It serves a different purpose. It sacrifices the convenience (and a little bit of stability) in favor of comfort. I find myself wearing my T1C x KORE belt often still just for the convenience of the ratchet system. If comfort is your number one priority, the belt in this video is the way to go.

Ciguera, KORE, Nexbelt, Blue Alpha Gear, Wilderness Tactical, the list goes on. Lots of great choices out there! 😎👍

I came from a emissary belt to the HC belt

Glad you enjoyed the review, man! 👍 It will always be hard to compete price wise in spaces like this with companies like KORE that mass-produce in Asia. So while I understand the higher price of this belt I also see what you mean. 💯

I’ve done it and it works 😎👍

That has happened to me in the past, but a good concealment wing on a holster should minimize that.

@@NightwoodGuns I’m using a las concealment right now.

😎👍

Seems like that’s just how the firearm industry is nowadays. Red dots, comps, belts… all impossible to get 😂

Unreal… thanks for letting me know, though. My channel has definitely been flagged at this point 😂

Great belt, definitely pricier than I would have liked. Great choice for EDC, btw! 😎

You can certainly use the HC belt for athletic shorts and sweats. But I prefer the comfort concealment for that kind of carry. It’s lighter, less cumbersome, more comfortable against bare skin, easier on/off, and cheaper. I recommend the HC belt for people who don’t have any belt yet and want one that can do both types of carry.

@@NightwoodGuns thank you very much! Do you find that the comfort concealment has any problem holding the weight of your weapon and extra mag with your t1c holster?

@@BirdieBeaman Nope, I wear it tight and I’m good to go! 👍 It will never be as stable as wearing a real belt with belt loops, but I carry my full-size gear with the comfort concealment on athletic short days with no problem.

It sits on my side or just in front of my hip. I don’t notice it while sitting in the car, but your mileage may vary. It is very low profile.

I had the same concerns. No signs of wear yet, but I’m keeping an eye on it. The hook is pretty well finished without any rough or sharp edges, so it should be fine. It’s been 100% for me this whole time. 👍

If there is a coupon, I don’t have one. Sorry. The one that Tier 1 sells has a third adjustment loop, but that’s the only difference that I’m aware of. The Kore belt is more convenient for on/off and it’s more rigid for heavier guns. The HC belt is way more comfortable, but it’s a little less convenient on/off and can bounce with heavier set ups. Everything is a trade off 👍

Nothing wrong with that 😎👍 I’m curious to see how it holds up, too.

Stretchy part is super strong and overbuilt. I crank it down pretty tight. We’ll see how it holds up over time, but so far so good 👍 It would be cool to see a padded leather backing on a belt like this.

It’s nice! 😎👍

@@NightwoodGuns thanks bro if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have had the financial courage to try this out and now the hip pains don't exists.keep it up, your one of them ones 👍

@@shawnelobet9820 Good to hear! Enjoy the belt 🤙

Very nice!

Thanks man 👍
