my reply with have little to no value but what the hell.
From Mick-boy's post: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/110033-...(what-and-why)
I bought a DSG competition belt. The reason why I am posting is because it looks like the same buckle. I really like it and wear it a lot as a single belt for everyday wear. The buckle is nice and solid. Mine has the thick inner plastic that makes it real stiff. The only issue with the buckle is you have to rotate the buckle 90 degrees and feed it backwards through belt loops. Also, since mine is an inner/outer belt it has soft velcro on the inside so I only have about 2-3 inches of adjustability and I initially ordered a medium but had to return it and get a small: 31" waist.
I'd ping Mickboy and get his insight.
All I'm saying is I like the buckle...it's nice and solid.
