I run a Stealth Gear IWB holster for my Carry Comp. Mastermind belt is great, but not quite robust enough.

I've tried Kore, Ciguera Emissary & Hunter Constantine. Didn't care tor Hunter. The other 2 hula hoop and/or aren't very comfy.

Anything like the Mastermind, but a little stiffer available? I'm a skinny guy FYI.

I've been using Kore for a number of years but it isn't playing well with my OWB Tenicor.
I had worn Spec-Ops Better BDU Belts for a long time and thought I'd try one of those again.  It's been very good with a variety of IWB holsters and guns.  SA Hellcat in kydex, G19.5 / Gen 3 clones in both kydex and leather, CZ P-01 in leather, G26.3 and a clone in both kydex and leather.

How does it differ from the Mastermind?

I couldn't tell you with 100% certainty (having never tried the Mastermind personally) but the webbing Blue Alpha uses is a little stiffer than similar belts I have. For an example, I was told to try the cheaper Wolf Tactical belt from Amazon that was similar to the Blue Alpha I had and it is for sure not the same stiffness. Can't say for certain but I'd give it a try. It's certainly not as stiff as my Aegis Enhanced but it is in between the two.

I switched to a Nexbelt a couple months ago and have been happy with it. I like the ratcheting system more than I thought I would.

Thanks. I've read the BA belt is the same as the Mastermind

I have not used the mastermind but I just use a good leather belt from Hanks. https://www.hanksbelts.com/collections/mens-gun-belts/products/montana-double-bison-leather-belt

Tried the Kore and hula hooped plus not comfortable. I like the Ciguera so I guess I;ll rotate that and Mastermind Tactical
