I am wanting to try a HSGI duty grip belt sleeve and the duty belt is the cheapest option to get me a full setup.

I know that the 2" belt isn't ideal, but a ubl mid ride will fit it and any pouch can be secured down with a strip of one wrap velcro. I just cant justifying spending $80 bucks on one of their cobra buckle belts for something I am just trying out.

So has anyone ran one? Is the big plastic buckle a viable option?
