First line belts

[panzerr]

I might have lost my thinking cap, but could you describe this setup a bit more? It looks somewhat like the Tactical Tailor horizontal panel.

No, no. I lost mine. The horizontal panel is mounted with Malice Clips. The pouches are secured with their molle flaps and snaps. It's quiet secure. A mag would drop out before the pouch would fall off.

So you're weaving in two Malice clips as normal, then weaving two more in horizontally and mounting the pouch that way? Or just the vertical Malice clips that you're weaving the normal flaps and snaps through? Either way, that's a damn clever idea.

Hasn't been long since my last post in here but I picked up a BFG Ten-Speed pouch to try out and after my first outing with it, I like it.

I kept the first FB pouch in place to be my "go to" pouch, as it is easier to refill one-handed/blind. The BFG pouch let me squeeze up to 3 mags in the space I had 2 in FB pouches, and when I'm not using it there is a lot less bulk.

Panzerr, how is your holster attached to your belt? Is it the sting ray attachment or something else?

[Mr.Goodtimes]

how do you guys keep your belts from bouncing around? do you guys you clips or are they just tight enough that its not a problem?

How do you run with all that weight. Looks like a hugh amount to carry on a belt.\Just curious

[Failure2Stop]

It's a lot easier on the back when the weight is carried on the waist versus on the chest/shoulders and is generally a more efficient reload motion.

Well I can understand 2 pistol and 2 rifle and the gun. But beyond that it seems like if you need more ammo you'd better have some form of larger carrier. It might be find just looks bulky. Maybe it's just the particular rig..

New rig I've been trying out for a few months (note holster was moved to a different rig for a LE class)



General overview:








2 Emdom 6o4 - 3 Pistol mags, last pouch has a Surefire G2L

HSGI Taco pouches (T&E items)




Eagle 6004 shroud

Emdom 3o2 (contains 1 pistol mag for 1 hand reloads)

Other items on the belt include ICE belt FAK and CSM dump pouch. Belt and suspenders are ICE and inner belt is an Eagle duty belt.

How many mags are you guys running on your first line rigs? Right now I'm running four pistol mags and one AR mag. So far, this seems about right for me. If I use a Redi-mag, this seems like more than enough for most classes. Plus the belt works great for the Blackwater Practical Shooters Steel Challenge matches that I attend whenever I can. All I have to do is switch out the 6004 for my Blade-Tech belt holster and I'm ready to go.


What kind of set-ups are you guys running?

My current set-up:


(1.) Two - Eagle (kydex lined) double 1911 mag pouches
(2.) Eagle MLCS Single M4 FB mag pouch
(3.) Eagle duty belt
(4.) Eagle belt pad
(5.) Eagle Duty Evidence Pouch
(6.) Paraclete small GP pouch
(7.) Safariland 6004 for 1911 w/X200

How much bigger if any should the duty belt be when running the "belt pad"?
