    Right when I thought EDC belts for concealed carry couldn't get any better, the new kid on the block can dunk. The Tier 1 Concealed EDC-S Belt created by Hunter Constantine is the best concealed carry belt for appendix carry AIWB that I have ever tested. Check out the features in this video to see if it's a good fit for you and if it is worth the hefty price tag.

    Great review man. This is the first longer form review I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you! It truly is made for ultimate comfort. Just to comment on the price point, this belt is produced and manufactured in the United States by local businesses. It could be similarly priced to the common EDC belts on the market but I will not outsource this to China or any other foregin country. I want the people in our communities to grow and prosper.

      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.

    The key that I think a lot of people don’t realize with the Kore belt is you skip a belt loop over and you put that buckle off to the side. It would never be centered because that’s exactly where your clip would go for your holster when you apendix carry. It doesn’t print that way and it’s more comfortable.

    This belt is awesome. I actually use this as a similar way to the Phlster enigma inside the waistband appendix on patrol for my backup gun and if I wear shorts or sweatpants as well. Unlike the enigma, this allows multiple firearms to be carried and isnt dependent on one particular firearm holster connected to the enigma portion. Along with utilizing concealed carry principles and using foam wedges, this makes it my go to. It’s easy on, easy off and comfortable to carry

    This was the first video I've seen from your channel that I stumbled upon while looking for belts. You did a terrific job at covering all the primary and miniscule points people may not think to ask about the product. The video production was concise and to the point. I am curious about an update to the wear on the product as it has been over a year. I am concerned as to how long the elastic will last before it becomes unusable.
    Bonus points for the anime and video game products in the background. I recognized the majority of it. It is good to see other anime and video game fans that are not firearm averse in real life.

      @dadvswildpodcast Рік тому +2

      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!🤙🏽

    Great review! I also had the same thought process as you as I was using a Nexbelt and it is extremely comfortable because of the flexibility of the ratcheting system. The only annoyance being the buckle pressing into my hip while carrying a full size HK P30L. The first time I put the EDC-S belt on I was completely blown away. I almost feel more comfortable with it on than off. It is hands down the most comfortable belt I have ever worn. I will just have to wait some time to see if it is durable as well.

    I was excited about the concept, but not how it attaches. You are right, the Kore is going to be a bit heavier and a bit harder but nothing beats 40 small ratcheting teeth, vs three loops. The concept is to be applauded, but it needs a better system to attach it all together. I suspect a version 2.0 will remedy that. I’m sticking with my Kore for now. Love the channel.

    I got mine today. Been using a kore belt for about 2-3 years and I was getting tired of the buckle. It sucks for appendix. This belt is basically a kore essentials and groove life had a baby and the baby was an athlete. I cringed at the price of this thing but if it holds up and stands the test of time it’s definitely worth the price. We’re going to start seeing the knock offs coming soon. I think it’s as good as you say it is also. Like I said the only thing that can change that is if for some reason the elastic portion wears out faster than it should.

    Your negative about it being only for appendix isn't really true. You can carry in any position, you just have to put the reinforced part of the belt wherever your holster is going to be. If you want it strong side, make sure the reinforced part is around that area. The buckle area will change, but it's universal

    I have the Hunter Constantine version. I'm not quite as dramatically enthusiastic as you, but it's working well so far. Agree about the absurd price, that really hit home when I actually received it and examined it's construction and materials. Yikes, okay. As far as OWB behind the hip carry, it works just fine, I fail to see the big problem? Just wear the buckle in front as you normally would, which puts the stiff portion right where it should be.

    • @NightwoodGuns
      @NightwoodGuns  Рік тому +1

      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.

    - I'm curious if you use a wedge to keep the grip closer to your body to present protrusion through shirt.
    - I'm also curious if you keep your mag in the gun, with a spare mag in the mag carrier, or if you're carrying your only mag in the mag carrier and no mag in the gun to reduce the length profile of the gun/grip. I didn't think about buying a holster with a mag carrier for my single mag, and going no mag in the gun to reduce profile as an option. (I've been looking at T1C gun only holsters instead of gun and mag combo, hence the question)
