Relentless Tactical Ultimate Steel Core Gun Belt | Leather Gun Belt w/Steel Insert | Made in USA

I love gun belts, not just because I hang my gun on mine, but because they are just SO sturdy! In every way they simply give SO MUCH more support than “just a belt.” Whether you like to hang pouches full of nails or screws from your Relentless Tactical gun belt, along with a power tool or two, or you just want to be able to pull it tight enough to keep those damn cargo pants from falling down again, a gun belt is the way to go. Just be careful you order the correct size, dammit! That’s why they put the sizing instructions in there in the first place! So read’em this time, just like I should have read’em this time and the last time and the time before that. But, oh no! Not me! I know what I’m doin’! I am experienced! I’ma ’spert in these matters an I don’t need no damn ‘struction tellin’ me what ta do! So, like I always do, I seem to be one size off again. Somehow I am always either one too big or one too small. If only these guys would start including some sizing instructions so you could pick the correct size BEFORE you order! Wait a second! What have we here? It looks like it could be ‘structions! Sizing’ ‘structions that you read and follow BEFORE you order! Dang it! I have got to start paying better attention at 2:00 AM when I get home from Charlie’s, an I start foolin’ around on Amazin’… Anyway, I gotta say it’s a good thing Relentless Tactical wants to keep their customers. To make sure they keep’em coming back they treat those customers right! They do like all businesses should, but don’t anymore. You didn’t pay attention to the instructions? You went KETO and you lost how many pounds in the last two weeks? Got back from that vacation cruise that served five meals a day and a dessert bar at midnight? Relentless Tactical has got your back on this one. Don’t return it to Amazon! Contact Relentless Tactical directly! Use the website! Call’em on the phone! As long as you have not ‘effed that thing up, Relentless Tactical will exchange it for the correct size, FREE! They will even cover the shipping both ways! Be serious now. How many other companies do that anymore? (Insert sound of crickets.) Mean while, back at the pass… This belt is fantastic, like belts from Relentless Tactical always are, right? Is it nice? I had taken it out of the box and it was laying on a table behind me in my area, and two different guys took notice of it and made comments on the quality and structure. Another person came in and they noticed it too. All they could get out was, “Oh My God! Now THAT’S a belt!” I had to agree. “You better believe it is,” I replied. The hardware is solid, sturdy and ready to accept the forces and the stress that will be put upon it from the extra weight of that defensive tool it will be supporting day after day. The stitching is perfect, and beautiful too. It will also stand up to the rigors of everyday use for years to come. The riveting is truly heavy duty, in the real sense, not that over used clichè. The rivets are also perfect, and beautiful too. The leather is beautiful and thick, I mean substantially thick, just like a gun belt should be. Oh! And guess what it smells like! No, not cheap plastic wanna be belt crap. No, not like some more of that artificial “pleather” BS. YES! That’s right Johnnie! It smells like leather! You know why? BECAUSE RELENTLESS TACTICAL MAKES THEM OUT OF LEATHER! That’s why they smell like that. It should make obvious sense, but to most companies anymore, it doesn’t. It’s a good thing we can still rely on Relentless Tactical to use materials from America, to make products here in America, for Americans. Thank you again Relentless Tactical on another job, well done. Hey Honey! Did’ja see that card that was in the box my new belt came in? The one with the phone number and the website and stuff? You didn’t move it did’ja? Honey?

Great belt in every respect. Previously was using a regular Carhartt 1.5" work belt, which worked pretty well, but this one is clearly superior in many ways. This is my first real "gun belt". I went with the steel core model over the non-steel core as it just makes sense in so many ways. The tensile strength of the core clearly distributes the weight of the pistol over a broader section of the belt, thus providing better support while at the same time better comfort in that the belt need not be quite as tight around the waist. Whereas my previous setup relied on snugness around the waist alone, this one in comparison "sits" on the hips more comfortably, so to speak. My EDC is a H&K USP Compact 9mm, and although being a "compact" it's neither the smallest nor lightest setup out there. Nevertheless with this belt and a DeSantis OWB Speed Scabbard it is very well supported and visibly completely disappears even under just a T-Shirt, let alone a sports jacket. I saw that some reviews stated that the dye runs. Before using the belt I cleaned it with some Harley Davidson Leather Care leather cleaner and a paper towel. I did get a little dye on the towel from the open grain on the belt edge. Just that once. Tried again a week later and the paper towel came back totally clean. Hey folks, you do clean your new pistol in order to remove the manufacturing oils before firing it the first time, right? ;o) Another nice thing about the belt is that the buckle is not stitched in, but rather attached with leather grommets, so that if you want to swap it out with a custom one of your choosing it can easily be done. The one that it comes with is nice enough, but it's nice to have the option to customize it! Update: Just purchased a second one several years after the first. Apparently they shrink over time. What’s that? Neither leather nor steel shrink? OK, I guess I did get a little fatter..;o). All kidding aside, these are great belts that will last a lifetime with no sagging whatsoever. (Unlike my belly…;o)

Surprisingly comfortable considering it is a steel core belt. Holds up the weight of a full size steel revolver great. Very durable as well, I've been wearing it every day since I've purchased it. The leather looks very nice. It will be a little stiff at first, but it just needs some breaking in. I will definitely buy another again in the future.

Just like stated. Good belt.

Just a note if you are planning to use this belt with a Safariland belt loop adapter the steel core will prevent it from contouring to your hips and it may become uncomfortable, other than that great belt, I'll be keeping this one for years to come. Update, I've since used this belt as my EDC since I bought it, as of now it is May of 2025 and the belt has held up well and its very sturdy, the only small issue is that the very tip of the belt will wear and it may be hard to push through a holster.
