Belts, padding, and MOLLE...

I've been happy with the blackwater I-O belt. It's also available in under a week from optactical. Gear in hand is worth many catalogs of backordered stuff

Good info -- their price is also pretty good. Does the I-O have a built-in belt or is it just a pad?

Just a few links for posterity - hopefully this thread can be a good reference later down the road since these rigs are fairly popular.

Well, in the interest of being able to use my holster until I find the right belt, I went super old-school:



That's right, it's the ever-popular BELT, INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT, LC-1. Yes, that's some sort of weird discoloration. Molly may be young and sexy, but Alice is experienced. Experienced in a 55-year-old truckstop hooker kinda way, but as long as you're up on all your vaccinations... That belt is older than I am, I'm pretty sure my dad found it in a junk car when he worked at the salvage yard before I was born. I've had it as far back as I can remember. I found it stashed in an old footlocker with the webgear I used to carry my massive .22LR loadout around the woods when I was in middle school (kids with guns, acting responsibly, with no injuries, property damage, or lawsuits - oh the humanity).

Anyway, this'll let me run my holster a bit on my next few range..er, pasture trips and sort out some stuff before commiting to anything further. Pretty comfortable, too, but we'll see after some extended wear.
