Not sure who would be harder on a belt, me or Dustin. He is bigger than I am, but I am hard on stuff. I don't think the metal clips on my holster are very smooth. They shift around but haven't scuffed up the belt at all. I wear mine about 16-18hrs a day. Sliding under vehicles. Coyote hunting. Not just sitting at a desk all day. Seems the main hole used for waist sizing HAS stretched a bit. Not terrible, but a bit. Otherwise mine has held up well. I'm curious to see if Dustin's response is similar in regards to wear.
