I do like the minimal nature of the belt. I like how stiff it is, and how well that can hold weight, especially for holsters or tools. I like how easily it is to string into a pair of pants belt loops. After using the belt for a while, I can say I'm not a fan of the mechanism. It's difficult to get undone when you really need to. If you have a belly, it will be harder. It also doesn't have any tension in the undone state, so your pants will drop entirely if you don't keep a hold of them. For everyday usage, I will stick with an elastic belt with a simple clasp. I might use my Grip6 for concealed carry days.
