I’m looking for a new, high quality duty belt.  It needs to be a very stiff nylon belt and will be fed through belt-loops, to support a belt mounted holster, mags and accessories.  I previously used a 1.75”  Wilderness instructors belt.

I like the quick attach/detach of a Cobra buckle and want to go that route.  I do not want a riggers belt, as the riggers apparatus takes up space on the belt where I want to attach things.

There are a lot of choices.  This is what I have found so far:

Ares Ranger, 1.5”, $90, webbing behind buckle

TYR Base, 2’’, $100, no webbing behind buckle (they have a D version that does)

First-Spear AGB, 1.75”, $62, no webbing behind buckle, plastic stiffer

Vertex Raptor, 1.75”, $80, webbing behind buckle, HDPE stiffener

Infidel Outer Cobra, 1.75”, $60, no webbing behind buckle, no plastic stiffer

SOE Cobra Duty, 1.5” , $65, many variations available

What are the pros and cons of the webbing extending behind the buckle?
Any recommendations?

I don't have one yet !

But I would go with OSOE.
I have a T.T. and it's a good belt but has a plastic buckle.

As if I didn't have enough chooses initially, I found a few more.

I ended up ordering a First-Spear AGB because LAPG had them on sale.

1fromtx, I agree OSOE has a nice selection of belts, but don't make a 1.75' non-riggers Cobra, which is what I decided to get.
