I took my first carbine class a few months ago and decided to get a "battle belt" because using my nylon belt with an inner velcro belt 3-gun style lead to hip bruising/pain. Since I already have a bunch of belt accessories, I went with the new HSGI slotted belt. A few caveats with this. 1) The 32'' belt is actually 31'' and the 39'' belt is actually 38''. Two, you should expect a gap that is 4'' longer than your waist measurement (with clothes/under belts on) suggests. My pant waist size is 32'', my measurement with my normal pants and concealed carry belt was 36'', and the small belt had a 9'' gap. Exchanged it for the 39'' belt and now have a one inch gap.
Anyway, I found zero info on this belt online (appears to be very new) so I figured I'd post pictures.  As you can see, you can weave belt mounted accessories in and out of the molle on the belt. All of those taco pouches are belt mounted rather than molle.    My next step is to install and equip a medical pouch, then replace the holster with one that will accommodate a TLR1 flashlight. One reason I never bought this before was because I was worried it would ride up when I draw a pistol or mag. It seems to work okay with an untucked t-shirt, and when my shirt is tucked in, it sticks to my leather belt like glue. I was going to ask, do you folks consider dump pouches to be useful? So far all I've used mine for was holding shotgun shells for sporting clays. |

Nice setup. Yes on dump pouch. You don't want to stick an empty mag back in his pouch and then grab it when you need a full mag. They also are great for holding a water bottle or your spent shells if you're a reloader.

Here is an older picture of my set up.It is an Ares Gear Ranger belt that was taking up closet space when I started using the Aegis belt for daily wear. I was using it to hold my spare kydex holsters and mag pouches on and decided with a couple of tweaks I could turn it into a functional belt. I've ditched the light and changed to a different knife that is mounted behind the holster since this was taken. Another recent change was separating the third AR pouch from the rest of the Sony Rig and using QMS straps to mount it. I'm also in the process of updating it with a different holster that will fit a Glock 34 with Streamlight TLR 1 HL. I have 2 inch Velcro Squares mounted to the outside of the AR pouches and can use this set up for my Carbine or my Shotgun.

Both have their fans and both are great.

Hey guys. I'm new to the war belt game and could use some help.
I have a padded war belt, it's nothing special, but it's a start and good enough for the time being. I really just want something to grab and go for home defense. Mainly, I am not sure what type of holster I need, or where to get it. I'm trying to build around a CZ P09. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks! |

Whats the belt? It makes a difference in holster selection. I prefer an offset drop for a belt like that for instance. Does it have cuts in the bottom to run "subloads"?

Put together a basic belt with some extra USGI pouches I had kicking around. I'll change pouches later on, and probably change from the drop leg to a G-Code holster, but this will do for now.

I'll keep my HSGI original war belt since it keeps my IFAK in place pretty well with no bounce while running. I might pick up a RONIN belt and give it a whirl with a lighter setup. My warbelt:

Im still doing the ronin task force belt thing. I really like it.
2x hsgi pistol tacos 2x itw fastmags with tt fight light roll up snack/gloves/assorted shit pouch on top of them, also an emdom multitool pouch with a multitasker in it ITS tactical tallboy with a custom thing i did, hook velcro "Sticks" i made, i weave them into the molle and slap them onto the loop velcro panel thingy... I can post pics if anyones interested but it works excellent. Makes my ifak removeable in seconds. HSGI rifle/pistol combo, for a weak side reload if i had to, more so for an extra mag if needed. Esee 3 G-code mule (imo the best "drop leg" platform out there) with an OTG holster for my g34.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks! Depends on your price range. I'd recommend not doing a leg holster, especially if it's a grab n go type belt where you probably don't want to spend time dicking around with leg straps when investigating a bump in he night. Research away, but make sure you are getting a holster that will attach to MOLLE/PALS loops. There are some belts out there that have cutouts for your holster. Mine does, which lets me use a paddle holster, which I then secured with zip-ties (pics to follow) Check out Safariland, GCode. The 5.11 Thumbdrive is pretty sweet actually, and if you need something inexpensive check out the Blackhawk Serpa. There are also countless companies online that make MOLLE compatible kydex holsters There are members who highly disagree with me, but I recommend avoiding the stupid flip hood at all costs. It will snag on your sights while drawing |

It's really handy to be able to unbuckle and have it not fall off your body or have to put it down IMHO. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sea2summit:

Hey all, I'm putting together a lightweight battle belt for range work. It's a dsg 1.75in belt with a velcro inner. I don't need a big padded or molle belt, just looking to have some AR/Pistol mag pouches, a holster, tq, and dump pouch.
Pretty set on esstac for pouches, is there a belt mount version? Also, does anyone have a line on a retention holster for a g19 and APL? Thanks. |

You can select various mounting options (mine is set up for use with an RTI mount), various lights, and with/without a thumb break and/or RMR cuts. |
