First line belts

[DeAdeYE15]

After I set it up with what I had.

THe pistol and ar pouches are condor along with the dump pouch. The holster is Tactical tailor. It sucks trying to redo the thumb snap right away. The small GP pouch is made in the USA not sure what brand. The knife is a Coldsteel Kobun tied to the belt with 550.



I ran it for a while but the holster was lacking for me. I later added the drop adapter with holster. I got on for my 1911 and XD.

Nice setup

Thanks.

Here it is setup now just need to change some things.

2 rifle tacos, I got these because I run different rifles.
3 pistol tacos, 2 pistols mags the other for a light.
same knife Coldsteel kobun fastened the same. I may try a short malice clip later.
EGL loppy Duty belt dump pouch. I may change this again because when I was running I had some mags fall out and it closed once on me. I'm gonna take my Emdom one off my plate carrier and try it on this belt.
HSGI bleeder blowout pouch in Ranger green with supplies and shears. I didn't get to put my CAT TQ on it at the time.
Condor pistol mag pouch. I still have this to secure my multitool with tool bits. Leather man wave.
I got the G-code holster setup with the RTI sytem. It works out great.
Same USA made pouch, Unknown brand. I like this GP pouch because it is not too big for the belt.

Heres an old pic of the crappy Blackhawk belt i used to use with my PC. Wasnt too impressed with it, although it did hold up to a lot of abuse. Ill get some pictures up of my new set up soon.

So my current setup for work, vast improvement over the old. Cant say enough about the belt, its freking awesome. When im using it at home for ranges or classes or just dicking around in the back yeard shooting, I drop the NVG pouch and attach my Raven Phantom holster for my Glock 21sf.

Check out the new Tactical Dress Belt from First Spear.
Anyone who needs to carry all their equipment and not show it, could really benefit from this.
I've been wearing one for work and am very happy with it.

Can somebody do me a huge favor?
Can I get a picture of a thinner/normal sized person wearing the USGI Suregrip belt with the pistol mag pouches mounted as far foward as they will go on the MOLLE panel? (ie, in the first slot)

I'm looking at the design of the belt, and from what I've seen here, I like it, BUT looking at the part where the inner belt runs out of the padded section, seeing as how there's NO MOLLE that far foward, and given that I like (or should I say, "need") my pistol mags pretty far foward on my support side, I'm worried that they will not be able to mount far enough foward.
And if they can't do that, then there's going to be a BIG problem, given how I want to run this and that I am pretty thin right now...


Also-

1)How wide are the inner belts USGI provides? Apparently the Cobra is 1.75". How about the standard Duty belt? Same?

2)Is it worth it for HSGI's Cobra over their standard Duty inner belt?
I know people rave over the Cobra stuff, and the Duty is fugly and I hate those stupid fanny-pack buckles on a belt, but I'll suck it up if I can save a little money for a "just as effective" option versus the Cobra.

3)Have you fellows found a 1.75" or full 2" inner belt to get the job of holding your padded/battle belt up/in place done better?

I run my mags starting at the 3rd molle row. They are in the right spot for me. I am 175 lbs. , 5'11 and have a 33 inch waist. I got the medium SGPB with the cobra inner belt.



1. The duty belt is 2" wide
2. IMO it is definitely worth getting the Cobra belt. A quick release is a must have for these battle belts and i dont trust plastic fastex buckles
3. It is really just opinion. As long as the belt is good quality and is the correct size for your waist it wont matter. The cobra belt, being 1.75", is amazing.


Oh yeah, i would have moved them to the first molle row.... but TACOS are a pain in the ass to move around

I see- looks like it should work. I'm 5' 10 and 32 in. waist, so the panels should be more than forward enough.

Thanks!

I wish companies would stop putting those useless boat-anchor D-rings on these belts.

The same capability can be attained by using a simple loop of webbing.
