Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between an EDC belt and a Range belt?

An EDC belt is a single-part system designed for concealed carry, typically used with Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holsters. A Range belt is a two-part system, featuring an inner loop belt and an outer tactical belt, designed for securely mounting external gear for training and quick access.

How does the construction of an EDC belt differ from a Range belt?

EDC belts are single-part, sliding into standard belt loops for everyday wear and concealed carry. Range belts consist of two parts: an inner belt with loop velcro that goes through belt loops, and an outer belt that attaches to the inner belt, allowing for external gear mounting.

When should I use a Range belt instead of an EDC belt?

A Range belt is ideal for tactical training, competition, or any scenario where you need to carry multiple accessories like spare magazines, tools, or medical kits externally for quick access. An EDC belt is better suited for daily concealed carry where discretion and comfort are prioritized.

Can I use a Range belt for concealed carry?

Generally, no. Range belts are designed for external gear and are not suitable for concealed carry due to their bulk and the way accessories are mounted. EDC belts are specifically designed for discreet, comfortable concealed carry.
