It’s range day and you are carry your sidearm on your hip to the firing line. It weighs so much that your pants slip lower and lower making it uncomfortable and unsafe. Propper came up with a solution to that with their new Propper Carbon Carry Belt. Not only will it hold up your pants and carry your holstered sidearm, but it will do both at the same time.
My first impression of the belt was that it looked like a stripped tire and smelled like one, too. I’m not going to lie, it smells like tire factory. Once I got beyond that, I looked it over for imperfections (I found zero) and looked at the construction (solid). I slipped it through my belt loops (takes some getting used to as it hugs each loop on the way through) and secured the buckle. My pants were not going anywhere.
The first time I took it to the range I secured my Glock 20SF (10mm) with the 10-round California compliant mag full. The loaded handgun is a bit heavy, but unlike other belts, the Carbon Carry Belt didn’t lean or fold. It stayed put and so did my handgun. I carried it around the range, fired off a few rounds here and there and checked the location of my holster. It didn’t move throughout that entire time and my pants stayed put. (I have worn the Propper Kinetic Tactical Pants many times, but I always had an issue with them creeping down. I don’t have that problem any longer.)
The second time at the range I opted to hike a bit more with pockets loaded up, handgun loaded and extra mags in my pockets. Again, I zero issues carrying my handgun, shooting and returning the firearm to the holster, or having my pants fall down. This belt stayed put through the entire day and I’ll admit, I was very happy. A big guy like me wants his pants to stay up (so does everyone else at the range), and I want my handgun to stay put. The Carbon Carry Belt did all of that.
Competitively priced at $49.99, these are priced to sell. It’s a great price considering what you get, there is free shipping, and there is a low price guarantee. Considering it is the only belt I have used that secures both pants and holster with loaded firearm, I definitely recommend the Propper Carbon Carry Belt to handgunners with any size handgun.
