    Just got a Mastermind Tactics Specialist Pro in the mail. Been wearing the Groove Life belt I got a week ago just a little bit, to see how it feels. I like them each for different reasons but not sure I need to keep both. I'm somewhat inclined to keep the Mastermind because it's stiffer, but the flex of the GL has its benefits, too. The GL is a bit more comfortable because of the flex, but I'm thinking the Mastermind might overall be better for certain purposes. They're both good, though, to be sure.

    Yes. And I like that it has a small metal buckle.

    Been wearing the Groove Life belt, and it's both very comfortable and surprisingly supportive. The Mastermind Tactics one printed a bit more, for reasons not yet clear to me. I need to play with it some more. Because of their refund policy pulling out several bucks for return shipping, I may hang onto it to use for heavy-use situations or where I need a stiffer belt than the GL, or turn it into a battle belt of sorts that I can keep in the car. Probably not altogether suited to the latter use, but it sure is light but sturdy.

    I have both of those, too. I find the Mastermind is sufficient for all of the compact and full-size guns I used to use a Cobra belt for, and as such it has become my new EDC belt (thanks for the tip, Gabe!). While the Groove Life belt feels just a little shy of that same level of support/stability for me, it is really nice for when subcompact carry is called for.
    Waitin' for a squeeze...

    An interesting function of the Blue Alpha Low
    Pro belt that I have found very pleasant is the
    ability to quickly & easily adjust them on the
    fly. I find this quite handy to vary the tension
    in small or larger increments based on what
    I am carrying on any given day, whether I am
    standing, sitting, driving, etc.

    This is kind of difficult to articulate, but to me
    it makes for a great update for my EDC.

    I am glad I found their product.

    There is definitely something to that, agreed. That's one of the downsides of the Groove Life belt, I have to say. The Mastermind Tactics one shares that sort of functionality, given its design.
