Could I use the belt to pack my holstered 44 mag? Gun is fairly heavy and I worry about belt loosening.

I don't think you would ever have to worry about it coming loose but I do have a problem with getting it tight enough (probably just me) it works just like a Motorcycle Helmet and is very good quality.

Should be able to clip it onto the belt - I have had quite a bit of weight clipped on and never had a problem with it loosening.

Maybe. I carry a Blackhawk Water canteen on my belt. Wt. = 3.7 lbs Your 44 empty is 46.8 oz? I trust the belt but I wonder if a belt from 5.11 or comparable Mfg. might be more comfortable for you.

Probably cannot hold something that heavy. The buckle is not one with holes, so it would just slide open holding any weight.

If I would make a suggestion, buy the Allen gun belt, it hold 3" magnums and feels better on the waist, it is camo and better!

Hey, while this is a great belt and I'm still very happy with mine. I would classify this as more of a fashion belt rather than function. Because it doesn't have the velcro locking buckle like some of the rigger's belts it tends to work loose and sag under the weight of even a medium framed pistol like a Glock 19 worn outside the waistband. Since you mentioned carrying a 1911 I assume you would be looking at using an outside the waistband holster as well. I think you would probably be happier with either a good thick leather belt or a rigger's belt. Hope this helps.

I don't own a M&P 45, but use it for my Glock 17 magazines. They're snug but not so much so that you can't pull them out. The back is stiff making it easier still.

I use me to carry mags for a S&W; Bodyguard and a Sig P238. It would be my guess that as long as the mag is a .380 single stack, it should work fine.

Yes you can. Even though it is meant for pocket carry, you can still use it IWB. I found it to be a little bulky for my liking in my pocket (not the holster but the gun). I really only use it IWB anymore. The rubber grips all over the holster help keep it in place. I advise you to where a belt which also helps keep it in place. However, you must be careful when undoing your belt since there are no clips your gun could just fall. I know its not really meant to be used this way but its comfortable, concealed and i'll wear it all day. Used with Sig P238.

Yes, easily. I have mine packed with 4, 17 round, 9mm mags. I use one for a flashlight and the other for a 25 round, 9mm carbine mag. The velcro straps are capable of significant expansion. So, not to worry... it will work just fine for your application.

I would believe not. The holster is very specific for the shape of the gun loaded in it. There is a plastic guide inside that snuggly fits the firearm. Also note that the holster will not accomodate the magazine with the extended base attached, you have to use the other one. I have a Laserlyte sight on mine that works quite well - once broken in. (There is a slight conflict where a windage adjustment screw is on the site but after a short period, the leather conforms to the shape needed)

U can probably get away with it. Depending on the size of the gun. I carry a p220 carry. Keep shirt puffed out of the pants. It seems to work fine.

Absolutely. I carry a Beretta .40 and a spare magazine and they fit neatly. This item is the best thing I have ever had for carrying concealed in climates such as Arizona or Florida. No bulks under your shirt, no uncomfortable holsters on your waist. Down to earth price and... real leather!

i dont see why not, assuming the belt isnt too wide for the loops on the holster...

You can fold it, but I would roll it if you're gonna put it in an m4 mag pouch.

No. I tried that and it's a stretch. I have the most success carrying outside the pants but inside the belt on the left side in a cross-draw mode. The LCP is so small it is easily covered by a sweater or even a loosely tucked in shirt.

No. The only reason you need a duty type belt is if you want to attach equipment to your legs. The recon chest rig is its own design that you can add to. With this rig I wouldn't see needing a belt anyway. It has its own that works fine. If you want that belt then go with some deuce gear, but to be honest I think they're just ridding these duty belts. The chest rigs are just way better IMO. And if you wanted to carry your pistol just attach a holster to the rig. Hope I helped you out. What is it you want the belt for?

Short answer, sure. Like any concealed gear it depends on your concealment garment/s. It is obviously OWB so without something over it, no. Time of year, body shape etc. all make a difference. I use Fobus paddle holsters and Mag pouches and really like them all from .22 to .45 pistols and mags. Zero complaints or problems.

I don't believe so. It is tight for .223. I had to use the 3+1 scheme (3 rounds, 1 empty) to fully load the belt with .223 which seemed about as much as it could take.

Probably not. The belt does not stay that tight, and the weight of the gun might loosen it through out the day.
