The Best Gun Belts for Concealed Carry: Kore Belts and the Leisure Carry Clip-On

Why the Right Gun Belt Matters

A holster can only perform as well as the belt supporting it. For concealed carriers, the belt is the foundation of stability, retention, and comfort. Without a proper carry belt, holsters shift, printing increases, and all-day comfort becomes a challenge.

That’s where purpose-built concealed carry belts stand apart. At JX Tactical, we offer two standout options designed for every kind of carrier: the precision-engineered Kore Essentials gun belt lineup and the innovative Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt. Whether you want the support of a ratcheting tactical belt or the flexibility of a belt-free clip-on system, these solutions keep your EDC secure and discreet.

Kore Essentials Gun Belts: Precision, Comfort, and Strength

Kore gun belts have become a go-to choice for serious concealed carriers because of their perfect blend of strength, adjustability, and style. Unlike traditional belts with fixed holes, Kore belts use a micro-adjustable ratcheting track system that gives you 40+ size positions. This means you can fine-tune your fit in ¼-inch increments—ideal for adjusting on the fly as you move, sit, or change clothing throughout the day.

Why Kore Belts Work for Concealed Carry

  • Unmatched Stability: Reinforced core provides the rigidity needed to support firearms, holsters, and accessories without sagging.

  • Precise Adjustability: Ratchet system ensures your holster stays in place whether you’re standing, sitting, or driving.

  • Versatility in Styles: Tactical nylon models for range use, leather models for professional or casual wear.

  • Strength Tested: Designed to support up to 8 lbs of gear—ideal for EDC setups with pistols, spare mags, and more.

Kore Styles We Offer

At JX Tactical, we carry a selection of Kore belts suited for different lifestyles and available in two size ranges to accommodate every carrier:

  • Regular Size: Fits waist sizes from 24"–54", perfect for most concealed carriers.

  • XL Tactical Belt: The EXL model extends from 54"–72", offering the same micro-adjustable performance and rigidity for larger carriers or duty setups.

Kore Nylon Tactical Belts – Rugged, reinforced, and perfect for everyday concealed carry.
Kore Leather Gun Belts – Stylish enough for office or casual wear while still offering full carry support.

For concealed carriers who want both strength and a clean appearance, Kore Essentials gun belts are a proven choice.

The Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt: A Smarter, Simpler Alternative

While traditional belts remain the standard for most carriers, there are times when a full belt isn’t practical—like wearing athletic shorts, joggers, or casual pants without belt loops. That’s where the Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt shines.

This innovative design provides the support of a traditional belt without actually wearing one.

How It Works

“This versatile setup can also act as a full belt replacement—simply clip one side on, pull your pants or shorts tight, and clip the other side. You get the security and support of a belt without having to actually wear one.”

Why Carriers Love It

  • Perfect for Belt-Free Clothing: Works with shorts, joggers, and activewear.

  • Secure Fitment: Keeps your holster in place with reliable support, even without belt loops.

  • All-Day Comfort: Lightweight design is less restrictive while still ensuring carry stability.

  • Quick On and Off: Clips in seconds, making it great for casual EDC and off-duty use.

The Leisure Carry Clip-On is ideal for concealed carriers who want flexibility without compromising safety.

Key Features to Look for in a Concealed Carry Belt

When shopping for a gun belt for concealed carry, consider the following essentials:

  • Rigidity & Strength: The belt must resist sagging under the weight of your firearm.

  • Adjustability: Micro adjustments, like Kore’s ratchet system, give superior comfort and fit.

  • Discretion & Style: Leather for professional wear, nylon for tactical or casual setups.

  • Compatibility: Ensure your belt works with your holster system, whether it’s IWB or OWB.

  • Versatility: For days when a belt isn’t practical, the Leisure Carry Clip-On provides a unique alternative.

Everyday Carry Scenarios

Concealed Carry

Both Kore and Leisure Carry belts excel in concealed carry. Kore provides the strength and micro-adjustability for long-term daily wear, while the Leisure Carry option gives carriers freedom to stay armed even in casual, belt-free clothing.

Range Training

At the range, stability is critical. Kore’s reinforced structure handles full loadouts—pistols, spare magazines, and accessories—without sagging. The Leisure Carry excels more in casual, lightweight setups than full tactical loadouts.

Active Lifestyle Wear

For carriers who wear joggers, shorts, or athleisure clothing, the Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt is a game-changer. It allows you to carry securely without needing a full waistband system.

How Carry Belts Pair with JX Tactical Gear

A quality belt is the backbone of a secure holster setup. That’s why pairing your JX Tactical holster with either a Kore Essentials belt or the Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt ensures maximum comfort and security.

Kore belts work seamlessly with our Sportster holster, Fat Guy Holster®, IWB 2.0, the Skinny Guy, and any holster we sell.

Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt also pairs perfectly with the Fat Guy Holster®, IWB 2.0, the Skinny Guy, and any of our inside-the-waistband holsters.

For light-bearing pistols, the rigidity of a Kore belt provides extra stability — and with both regular and XL Tactical sizes available, there’s a perfect fit for every body type.

Conclusion: Find the Right Carry Belt for Your Lifestyle

Choosing the right concealed carry belt is about more than style—it’s about security, comfort, and reliability. For those who want micro-adjustable precision and strength, Kore Essentials belts are unmatched. For carriers looking for a minimalist, belt-free option, the Leisure Carry Clip-On Belt offers unique versatility without compromise.

At JX Tactical, we provide Holsters for Every Body — and that includes the belts that make concealed carry possible, now available in both regular and XL Tactical sizes.
