I'm very pleased with the quality of the belt. It fits well and it doesn't slip around. The plastic buckle positively locks in place. If I ever purchase another one I'd probably spring for the more expensive buckle, just for durability, though there's nothing weong with the plastic buckle and it does provide a cheaper alternative. I'd like to see a little more adjustment length, because I need to make it larger when I'm wearing multiple layers of winter clothing. In the summer I'll shorten it; I'll be wearing thinner clothes.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the war belt. It'll probably get used mostly for investigating noises at night, when I need to have quick access to extra magazines, flashlight, comms, etc. I can carry most of my gear on the belt, and be unobtrusive, low-key, yet remain mobile, not bogged down with a vest or small pack.
The Sumatra surprise was nice too! Thanks for the surprise, and the sale!
