I have to be honest I first got this delivered to me and I was a little regretful because i thought "how am I going to use this big thing?" After a few days i got tired of trying to take my paddle holster (that holds my Barretta M9A1) off of my pants while wearing a regular belt, after my chonies almost came off with it I decided to give this "big ol belt" a try. I put this on over my pants regular belt and belt buckle adjusted (a lil looser) it and it was surprisingly comfortable I attached my paddle style holster to it and it felt like it wasn't even there! There was no dragging on my pants anymore, I no longer have to pull up my pants every 15 min and it detaches without almost ripping my undies off! Overall great buy solved all my hip concealment issues for one very fare price. I would buy it again and would recommend it to anyone with the same issues or looking for a impressive amount of bang for there buck
