First line belts

[Drummer]

Eagle's site doesn't say what width their belt is and I don't have mine handy. Anyone know the width?

I asked this question earlier in the thread and LOKNLOD said his measured 2".

Mine is actually a DBT belt, so it may be. I have an Eagle that looks like it is the same size, though.

I guess I'll have to get home and measure mine before I order a holster.

I'm thinking that holser, a couple of the Eagle FB AR and 1911 mag pouches on the offside, and a fold-up dump pouch 'round the back should work out well.

I am up at the ATS store right now. We have OD in 2.25 and black in 2. I guess they make both.

BHI are all 2

TT are all 2

My DBT and old (2000 mfg) Eagle are 2.25...

I dropped the included sewn-webbing fastex belt for a Wilderness 5 stitch and haven't looked back.

Is that a 1 1/2" or 1 3/4" Wilderness belt?

I really love my ICE belt pad. The only draw back is the wait. The way I did it was just order it and forget it. I got lucky and placed my order at a period of time when he was just getting to be well known in the gear world. Once everybody saw the belts they all ordered them and cause we are a society with ZERO patience.. the battle began with him. Anything custom that is good is gonna have a rough timeline. Look at Jon from Recce gear.. He had and still has a back log.


If you have to wait 3-6 or even 9 months.. so be it. You will have a nice unexpected surprise when it does come. I know Hobey does not have the best rep due to his one man operation.. But hell.. Guys are waiting in line 6 years for Larry Vickers to do them a 1911.... what 6-9 months.

I just ordered a belt and a couple of pouches from him. He said that the items are in stock, but he's waiting for Malice clips, which he expects by the end of next week. Pleasantly surprising; I thought I would be in for a long wait.

I personally would have told him to ship w/o the clips if that was the only thing holding it up...

[M4Guru]

Sounds like more Hobey BS...

[Cold Zero]

I personally would have told him to ship w/o the clips if that was the only thing holding it up...

yeah, well that and he did not have the belt either....

I have been watching this thread and putting some items together for my belt and wanted to run something by you guys....

I am going with a Blackwater IO belt, Maxped large dump pouch on the left next to an eagle single M4 mag holder. Next to this on the back is a S.O. Tech El Dwiggo. On the right is a Blackhawk Serpa holster mounter with their molle adapter.

The holster is riding a little high and I was looking at either running a 6004 directly to the belt or using the Serpa thigh rig independently.

The idea behind a separate, unattached holster would be that if I need to remove or turn the belt to get to the El Dwiggo the holster would always be in place.... keep in mind that I am a paramedic and the med pouch is probably overloaded.

Any thoughts?
