 I need a better duty belt BUCKLE (2")

I have a 2" duty belt and the stock buckle was giving me trouble. Sometimes I'd have to really mess with the middle button in order to release the side buttons. While I was at the local Police supply, I bought a replacement buckle of a different design. This one occasionally pops open if I pull at it or twist funny. I've seen the Cobra Buckle, but I couldn't find a domestic retailer for the 2" (50mm). It's a little expensive, but not too bad. I've also seen the Raptor buckle, which is more or less a copy of the Cobra, but I haven't been able to find anyone that sells just the buckle.

Is there another option that is better than the stock Blackhawk/Bianchi/Galls style 3 way SRB? Or perhaps a retailer in the US with the Cobra or Raptor 2" at a decent price?

Ares Gear sells buckle half's I believe.

Could just order one of each, and replace your existing buckle with the cobra buckle.

Ares Half(s)

Look at SOE or Jones Tactical. I have a JT duty belt w a Cobra buckle and it's the best duty belt that I've ever owned.

Agreed. I have been wearing a Fat Zombie for about 6 months, and it is absolutely the best duty belt I have ever seen.

I ended up ordering direct on Friday. No tracking info so far, so I'm not sure when I'll actually get it.
