It is easier to do that than to undo the velcro, remove the buckle, run the bare belt through and then re-loop the buckle. My problem is that if I'm trying to run an OWB holster I have to remove the buckle to attach the holster anyway..

For me it's a matter of convenience. On the brown coat tactical belt I have to remove the male Buckle to get it through the loops and then readjust it and feed the velcro strap back through the loops. It's just kind of a pain in the ass, especially because I also carry a couple of items on my belt. The new belt is much more convenient to the point where I will wear it everyday as compared to having it sit in the closet.
I see now
I always have considered a regular leather belt as an EDC. I see now you are talking about a tactical belt.
I dont carry anything on my belt except my holster........I know, im so square.

New belt setup for class/grab and go emergency
Mean Gene's leather Victory aegis belt.
More discreet and I can transition it from every day to semi casual dress with no real issues, works like a normal belt, used to have an SOE with the cobra buckle or what ever, but it really does suck trying to put that belt on and take it off because of the buckle

Great, now more stuff I want to spend money on. I've got a full set up in multicam. But I've been buying stuff in wolf gray lately.
BFG has both of those colors

I don't see many pistol mag holders with "bullets backward" design. Did you find it easier to manipulate than "bullets forward"?
Mags can go in these either way. Perhaps I'm a bit dense but if I put them in the other way wouldn't I have to flip the mag around after I drew them?

You've certainly had more training than me, but in the few classes I've taken the 'norm' was "bullets forward", so as you grab the magazine your forefinger is along the front of the magazine (bullets facing your forefinger).
Not knocking it, just haven't seen many set-up that way.
I have no formal pistol training whatsoever. I just put em in such a way that they are oriented the right way round when I bring them to vertical. But I think I see how you mean. Bring the gun horizontally during the reload and present the magazines in laterally with the forefinger pointing the way. I will have to try that.
I'm still lovin' mine.

Back to on-topic, I have an extra "Cobra-buckle style" belt I've been meaning to dedicate to "battle belt/bump in the night" duty, but I'm wondering if one of those padded dealies would be better. Wouldn't want too much bulk though..
The big padded ones shift around and ride up on you. I didn't mention it but the one I posted is one of the type that goes around a velcro inner belt. The inner belt goes through the belt loops and functions like any regular belt would, the outer belt with all the gear on it wraps around the inner one and is held in place by the velcro. The outer belt can also be worn by itself for bump in the night type things.
