Unfortunately I requested the 1.75" belt loops and can't seem to make them work on the Blue Alpha belt...maybe Im just an idiot but I can't seem to figure out how to weave it into the Kywi while getting it onto the belt, and it can't be slid onto the belt after being weaved into the Kywi because of the large buckles...so I ordered some WTFix straps for mounting.

    I was holding off on the holster because Ive been torn about whether or not to add a WML to my pistol...I CCW an M&P 2.0 Compact and that's also the pistol I plan to keep mounted on this belt. I really don't want to have a WML on my CCW but kind of do want to add a light to the pistol on this belt...so I was holding off. Ultimately I ordered a Safariland UBL + Ragnarok from T-Rex Arms for my M&P without the light. I figured worst case if I decide to add a light in the future I'll pick up another holster.

    It's coming together, I'll post some pictures once I get the Kywis and Ragnarok mounted up. Then I want to find a very small, simple med kit and that will do it for now.

    It’s less of a belt and more of an LBE.

    The Ragnarok FINALLY showed up...through no fault of TRex, they had it shipped very quickly - USPS as Im sure you all know is brutally slow right now.

    The WTFix straps should be here Monday according to tracking...but we'll see about that. One they get here I'll get everything put together and post up a picture.

    Serious question for you older/rounder guys - how do you keep your belt up? Do you wear suspenders like the old school LBE?

    The inner belt on my rig (Trex) is sticky neoprene, which helps “slippage”.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Agreed. This was my take on using the beltminus. It's much more LBE than battle belt.
