I really like the Elas-Tac from 5.11, but not as a carry belt. IWB, it's ok, but not spectacular. OWB it's lousy.
That said, for my daily wear at work where I can't carry, I'm really liking it.
Keep in mind, my Instructor's belt is not getting tight enough even for the IWB portion of this video. It's simply out of adjustment range. It STILL does better at supporting this relatively light handgun in quality holsters. Heavier pistols or less well made holsters and it just gets worse for the Elas-Tac. It simply lacks the body for it. I'm not picking on it alone though, I think any of these style belts would have the same flaw. I might have to try one where the body of the belt has reinforcement and then there's an elastic section up front or at the small of your back to provide some give. That may work out better while still having the comfort provided by this style of belt.
