Specter Gear Last Resort Belt

Does anyone have experience with this belt? Or should I just spend the extra money on the Wilderness Tactical belt?

I don't know anything at all about them. What I can tell you is that The Wilderness Instructor's Belts actually come with a test report from an independent lab that stress tested and certified them for around 6,000lb loads (It varies a little depending which version you get). They are one heck of a belt...

Well... you didn't post picture or a link and I've never heard of them but I do have two 5 stitch Wilderness Instructor's belts and can tell you they are everything they are advertised to be! I really like them!

Got 2 Wilderness belts so far-ya can't go wrong with the original.

Plus, and this isn't a knock on the linked product as I don't know about them, the Wilderness belt while more expensive, is still quite reasonable, and a LOT of belt for the money.

Later,

I have both and the Spectre is comparable to the Wilderness IMHO....

The PX here carries them and I own a wilderness. Judging from feeling them through the package they seem to feel as rigid as a wilderness. You can't go wrong with a wilderness, but these might deserve a shot too.

According to the link that you posted, the buckle is rated for well under half the load that a Wilderness buckle is certified for. That won't matter a bit if you're just wearing it as a gunbelt. But, If my (rather large) carcass was hanging off of it, the Wilderness would be my choice.

The Wilderness belts are also 100% American Made - I dunno about the Spectre. For me, buying American products is a very high priority.

I own both. While I'm sure the Specter would work fine as a gun belt, with a 1.75 inch width, it doesn't fit all of my pants.
