Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good EDC gun belt?

A good EDC gun belt must be rigid enough to support the weight of a firearm and holster without canting or rolling. It should also offer comfortable, secure adjustability, ideally with micro-adjustments, to ensure a stable and reliable draw throughout the day.

Why are Rigger's belts not ideal for EDC gun carry?

While Rigger's belts are very strong for tensile loads, they often lack the necessary rigidity around the waist to properly support a holster and firearm. This can lead to the belt and holster shifting, compromising draw stability and security.

What is the advantage of the Core Essentials EDC belt's track line system?

The Core Essentials belt's track line system allows for precise quarter-inch adjustments on the fly. This means you can easily loosen or tighten the belt for comfort without removing it, which is ideal for situations like sitting down for a meal or adjusting for body changes throughout the day.

Should I use a fashion belt for carrying a firearm?

No, fashion belts are not suitable for carrying a firearm. They are typically made of less rigid materials and lack the structural integrity to support a holster and firearm, leading to instability, discomfort, and potentially an unsafe draw.
