COBRA® quick release buckles
The COBRA® Pro Style buckle is made in Austria by AustriAlpin. It will not release under load, and its large ears make it quick to release when the belt is not under load. The 2.25 inch buckle is rated to 4,000 lb tensile strength. For belts that come fitted with this buckle, see our COBRA® buckle duty belts.
Release buckles and uniform buckles
Triple and dual release buckles add security, so the belt is harder to pull off. The Ballistic triple release buckle is made from a tough, impact resistant polymer, and both Ballistic release buckles clean with mild soap and water. Sam Browne and garrison buckles come in shiny finishes that complement a law enforcement uniform.
