View Full Version : Ronin Senshi or Task Force Belts vs. G Code Operator Belt ??
Hi Folks
Has anyone seen either of the Ronin belts AND the G Code Operator Belt, that can give some feedback on which one is better? They appear to be pretty similar with respect to design...inner and outer belt with two row of pals webbing. The price difference is about $100 with the Ronin being more expensive. I was just trying to figure out if the extra $100 was worth it.

Yo.
I have a Ronin Tactics Taskforce belt and it is the bee's knees. The scuba webbing is extremely stiff and the half molle works great. It's a great design and tremendously well-made. Plus, Tu Lam is The Man. He looks like Bruce Lee and The Rock had a baby and covered it in Yakuza tattoos.
I also have an AWS Light Assaulter's belt. It has the exact same dimensions, the same liner belt, the same fit and materials, and I would bet a stack of hundred dollar bills as tall as I am that it came from the same manufacturing facility as the Ronin belt. It doesn't have the half molle. Instead you purchase double column molle "panels" which slide on and attach via hook and loop. The liner belt houses a long thin kydex "tool" used to slide the panels on and off or to reposition them.
If you are looking at the Ronin belt, you may want to look at the AWS Inc. LAB belt also. The LAB belt with four panels is about $94. They also have really great Universal Magazine pouches.
Check out AWS, TYR, and Ronin Tactics. Their belts and pouches look eerily similar.

AWS makes them, that's why.
The Ronin belt has been discussed here a lot, and in a recent thread about low-pro belts (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?198959-Lower-Profile-War-Belts-with-Velcro-to-Inner-Belt-(Crye-or-Ronin-etc-)).
Short version: spendy, but great.
No idea what's what with the G-Code belt, but their holsters are cool.
Everything I've ever touched that AWS makes is pretty much the tits.
G Code belt does not even compare to the Ronin. It's a complete waste of money, not stiff @ all. Get the Ronin

Love the AWS pouches and Light Assaulter's belt for sure. I'm so short, and short in the torso, that their OCPC plate carrier feels longer than necessary.

I have 2 Ronin belts and love them, no regrets. I have zero experience with the G-Code belt.
The difference between the task force and the senshi is cosmetic. Senshi has the black molle loops. I've ran a task force for the last 18 months and I loves it. Id only switch it for another one.

I thought the TF belt is supposed to be stiffer.
You may be right. I've never handled the senshi.

The Senshi and Task Force belts have the exact same construction materials but for the colored loops for the MOLLE. They are otherwise the same belt, and are stiffer than the Shooter's Belt. Stiffness is the difference between the Shooter's Belt and the TF/Senshi, and then there are variations in terms of hardware (D-ring, or no, etc.).

This thread is making me want to buy two. I may try the shooter's belt for my wife.

I don't believe that this questions is worthy of its own thread. If the mods feel differently, please feel free to delete it.
How does the Ronin Shooters belt compare to an Ares Gear Aegis belt. Do the two-piece belt systems make a significant difference? I need to purchase a belt for my first training course and from what I've seen, these two look like great options. I'm sure that both options will have their own pros/cons, but you don't know what you don't know. I'm not really even sure where to start when it comes to all of this nylon stuff...

I have the Ares Aegis Enhanced and it's a fantastic belt. It's made from scuba webbing and it's stiff enough to handle whatever you want to load on it. The Ronin Senshi and Task Force are both made from the same material that is supposed to be very rigid. Tu (owner of Ronin) explained it as a woven fabric and different from his other two belts which are made from regular webbing. I'm betting the Senshi and the Task Force are Scuba webbing but he didn't confirm that...only that they were stiffer than the other two and stiffer than most other belts out there.
The main difference that I see with a two belt system is that you can place your items exactly where you want and you don't have to worry about belt loops getting in the way. Also, you can leave them in their positions...You don't have to weave them onto the belt and between belt loops each and every time you go to put your belt on or take it off. That can be a huge deal if you want to put your belt on and take it off throughout the day...like if you want a break or want to leave the range for lunch or something. It's quick and easy on/off.
