Just figured I would post my response to a question asked on another forum here. I often see people searching for the "perfect" setup for their gear. Thought some of you here may find the info useful, and it's about time I try and do my part to add something to the forum. ;-)
"In full disclosure, the owner of US Grunt Gear is a good friend of mine. I am a master class Production shooter in USPSA, and a very active shooter with very specific needs in both pistol and rifle equipment. I have one of the first Infidel belts, and can truly say there is nothing better out there for my specific needs. The gear is hand made by Robert himself, using only top quality mil spec components. If you are looking for a comparison, Eagle's quality while very good, is not as good, crisp, or detailed as what Robert is putting out. Then again, that can be expected since they are not hand making / sewing their gear. His mag pouches for the belt are exceptionally fast for quick reloads, yet have enough tension to hold a fully loaded mag upside down and shaken without falling out. The belt is insanely comfortable and all decked out, I can walk to the line with 6 mags on my belt and not be forced to wear a cumbersome chest rig in the hot Florida sun. I have shot a few rifle classes with this setup, and can say that the belt and pouches were so well noticed that in one of the classes an FBI instructor for HRT in Miami decided to outfit his whole unit with them. From what I hear, they are also becoming a hit with some professional instructors in the 3-gun environment. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask away."
As an aside, I have personally witnessed pistol reloads just under a second from shot to shot on a timer using this belt setup with pistol pouches. Super fast (about as fast as my CR Speed race setup) yet the retention still manages to be impeccable. In the standing reload picture below, notice the mag is still falling out of the rifle with the full mag already presented.
Hope some of you looking for a great setup got some added info. Also, I believe there is a review of the belt & pouches in an upcoming SWAT magazine article.
As always, YMMV.
