Kore?
Explanation of buckle please
Okay, great. What is it?
I am always on the look out for a good gun belt, so for Christ's sakes give me some details and links people!
@OwenP I had and liked a kore belt but gave up on ot as the buckle kept pulling off. Is this new belt more securely attached?
@Will556, Is that belt continously adjustable? Does the buckle fit easily through holster loops?

Kore Essentials belt. Mine is the X5 version. It’s my edc belt. Very sturdy. The belt comes in a very long form and on the rear it’s marked with lines for different belt sizes. So you just cut the belt to the proper length and then attach the buckle. It’s very secure and I’ve never had the buckle come off or even wiggle. Then it’s a ratchet style so it’s extremely adjustable to go tighter or looser depending on how you want your belt to be at the time.
I guess if it fits through holster loops would depend on how small the loops are. I use holster clips that just clip on over the top of it but I don’t see why you couldn’t use it with any holster.
That didn't look like a Kore buckle is all.
With just the basic toothed latch multiple buckles on multiple belts all eventually pulled off the belt after 6 months or so. Maybe because I like to cinch my belts very tight, maybe from the action of climbing into and out of trailers and cabs. Tge reinforcing band would also eventually break up into pieces. I dunno, it occurs to me that many people may wear different belts throughout the week. I however wear one belt all day, all week, month after month, year after year. For me the Kore belts haven't held up. But I like the the design so if they improved tge method by which the buckle attached I would try them again.
Since I got my Kore Essentials X5 back in December of 2019, it’s the only belt I’ve worn. I wear it every single day and it’s held up without any issues at all. All day, to the range, to work, on trips and it’s never given me a problem or failed in any kind of way.
Maybe it's a fat guy thing? I had two of em. Same issue with both. After awhile the buckle teeth would slip of the belt. Maybe I wasn't cutting the end off right?

Kore makes a bunch of different buckle styles. Itll be mu next purchase once my current belt wears out.
Mis-information! That's not what she said!
I noticed an improvement on the buckle. It now has the teeth grip as well as 2 screw downs that hold it. This buckle ain’t going anywhere
It’s got teeth and 2 screw downs now

Very happy with it. Belt is very stiff and allows for easy holstering and drawing. Buckle is very secure as well. Well worth the cost.
