Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed around .38 Special and .357 Magnum only, so it is not a universal cartridge belt.
- The 20-loop layout supports carrying a set amount of ammunition, but it does not offer the higher capacity of larger loop belts.
- Sizing is waist-specific, so getting the right fit depends on matching the listed range to your actual waist measurement.
- The belt is built from top-grain leather with waxed-linen thread, which gives it a traditional construction but also means it is not a lightweight synthetic option.
