First line belts

Thanks...that looks worth trying.

Can you tell me what belt and rifle mag pouches are in that pic?

No problem.

John_Wayne777,

Is that a total of 5 30 round mags? Do you wear suspenders with the rig? My first thought was I think I'd be pulling my pants up all day.

I may as well play too:



Eagle Industries duty belt. Blackhawk 3 pocket pistol mag pouch with retention that I got for 6 bucks. Eagle Industries DMP-FB-M16 pouch. Two Eagle Industries DMP-M-16 pouches.

Not pictured is a Blade Tech holster for a Surefire light and an accessory pouch.

It's mainly an AR training rig. I just recently acquired a Blade-Tech scabbard holster for the M&P with a light mounted on it that will most likely end up replacing the pictured 6004.

After several house payments worth of gear and kit this is the set up I have been using for the past year...funny how we keep coming back to a KISS set up. Elcan not generally used during courses, just for service conditions matches. The Med Kit just needs a patch on it and I am done.

Nylon duty belt with TT pad
Blade Tech mag holders
5.11 dump pouch
TT GP pouch with med kit
Issue 5946 in Safariland 6004 with belt adapter.
Rifle pictured is a 6920 with an M4 top end.

Can the Blade Tech mag holders be snapped on to a belt as you are wearing it of do you need to take the belt off to snap them on? I see they make a paddle mag pouch too, this might be my solution. I'd like each of our officers to have one as an option to pop on and off when necessary. We have bandoleers now; they work well and give us 4 rifle mags and w pistol mags to work with.

Looks good buddy!

But you are right though...that Elcan is a bit overkill on that carbine!

Rob,

How do you like the US Grunt Gear 4th Gen Single M4/Glock pouch? How is the retention for both mags?

[rob_s]

I love that USGG pouch. I'm going to ask him to tweak it a little and run it up a little higher though. I'm going to replace the two Eagle pistol pouches with USGG 4th gen single pistol pouches as well.

I have not encountered any retention issues but I have also not jumped out of a helicopter with it.

Funnily enough, I have never seen this rig, but that is quite similar to what I run. It's funny because you are the only other person I have seen with a TT pad on a simple nylon duty belt.

You'd think I would have seen this on you and stolen the idea, but I had no clue you ran one. So in my case it's pure skinflintness that got me on to the TT pad. It was a cheap way to try out the belt rig approach.

I do sometimes wear it with a leather work belt, though...heavy and low-tech but strangely familiar and satisfying - maybe the influence of my life in construction.

If you go back to the start of the thread from 3 years ago you'll see the predominate setup was the Eagle duty belt & duty belt pad. I tried it and hated it.
