Tru-SpecSecurity Friendly Tactical Belt

This fit me perfectly and is very sturdy. It was exactly what I needed for work. It holds my radio, key holder and my badge. It never comes loose and is quite comfortable.

Pro tip: when the bigger size is cheaper than the size you actually want, just buy the bigger one and cut it to size.

I purchased two belts, Propper Tec 40-42 and the Tru-Spec 1.75 inch 40-42 belt. I already owned a Spec-Ops 1.75 inch belt that was a 40-42 I believe for about 6-7 years for daily use. I had to cut he Spec-Ops and both of the new belts for my 37 inch waist. I had to cut at least 8 inches off each belt so for sizing I should have purchased the 36-38 size, but there was no price increase and I wanted to make sure it would fit my expanding gut.Pro's: All belts hold tight and don't slip the Tru-Spec has wider spaced ridges so it really locks up tight.Con's: (IMO) I find the Tru-Spec and Propper Tac feel more flexible where as the Spec-ops is more rigid and sturdy even after years of use. With the new belts holding up like the Spec-Ops has is something I will have to see. Between the Tru-Spec and the Propper Tac the Tru-Spec is more rigid and feels tougher but it is 1/4 inch wider (closer to 3/16) than the Propper Tac. Do I feel the belts will fail and wear out sooner, I have no clue only time will tell after years of use and abuse.Final: The price is great compared to the big manufacturers and if they hold up then I will buy more because I am not happy with how my leather belts have stretched and "curved" plus they still leave marks when I sweat and wear light colored pants. I was satisfied with how they hold my CW close to my body and keep it tight. I still would like to purchase a "double layer" belt for "heavy days" that I need more support. Yep ladies us guys can use your terms for our uses and they mean something completely different.UPDATE: Jan 21 2015I found the piece I had to cut off of the Spec-Ops belt from years ago it is 14.5 inches long and feels twice as thick and sturdy as both the Tru-Spec and Propper Tac belts do. I should maybe not have cut off so much as to that I only have about 4-5 inches of material left after the buckle, the two new belts I cut so they are longer. The Spec-Ops is way stronger as far as belt material, but the buckle does slip a bit before it gets a good hold. I took a real good look at it (it's at work) and it only has a very slight almost un-noticeable bow in the middle (back) nothing like my leather belts do. It seems to also have taken shape as to where I like the buckle so it is formed to that fit point. The issue is this, is it worth the double the price, I don't know. Would I buy the Spec-Ops belt again for double the price, YES I really like that belt. Will the Tru-Spec and Propper Tac hold up like it, I don't know. The other two are softer and feel thinner even though it may be by a hair and I mean it is hard to tell if the Spec-Ops is really thicker but it is heavier and feels like a piece of strap steel.I may need to clarify, I do not work for or get paid by Spec-Ops or anyone else other than the Federal Government. So this review is my sole uninfluenced opinion and only my own.

Needed a quick replacement for my 511 belt that I have had for years and finally became a hassle to fix. These are not 511 quality however they are doing the job they were created for and I like it. Price was great. Longevity is still to be determined. I had to get one size up, so not sure about accuracy of sizing chart.

The belt has been with me for about 5 months of hard-use. I use it in the field, and in the city.It's definitely not the best belt for a formal dinner, and it cannot be used as a harness (plastic clip would fail).This belt is good for daily, above average use, and can support a holstered pistol and other kit, up to about 15lbs before the buckle began to slip.
