Quick question, does HSGI do any sales? Black Friday is coming up and I would hate to drop $200+ and a week later they have a sale. On that note, what about Esstac?

I’ve got a tall triple kiwi panel for my PC, and a double 1911 gap pouch for my belt, in my cart at Esstac. Which single m4 pouch do I want for my belt? Shorty, mid, or tall??

You've already got four mags, three on your PC and one in the rifle. If that's not going to solve your problem, one more on your belt isn't. And no doubt, probably a pretty unpopular opinion in this thread.

HSGI operator belt with grippy thing came today, waiting on the slim grip to compare. I like the operator, but its multicam not coyote. Aren't there rules of war about fashion?
Which ever one doesn't make the cut will go to the EE. Or I'll just build two.  Pic thread, I know. Soon, very soon. |

I guess I'm weird I use talls on my AWS, haven't had any real issues getting at the mags although to do it all again I would probably go with mids. I had switched from fastmags to to small tall esstacs i had laying around from a blem sale and that's what ive been using since. One note is that the talls work great with 40 round pmags, with the fastmags they were pretty floppy. and came up pretty high.

Think the tall kywi would not provide enough purchase for a speed reload off the belt? Or should I go with the mid? If the baseplate whacks the bottom of my PC it will annoy the piss out of me. I’m 5’9” with a short torso. S/M APC, small sapi.
Which version would be most comparable to a rifle taco in depth? Edit: I suppose there’s a reason I can’t find many pics of a tall kywi on a belt huh? |

For anyone who has used the standard grippy style belts AND the inner/outer systems, what do you prefer? I currently have a HSGI slotted Suregrip belt but was considering the Blue Alpha with the HSGI Suregrip panel for when the outer belt is worn without the inner belt. I see benefit from the inner/outer belts working together during classes or long range sessions.

I see benefit from the inner/outer belts working together during classes or long range sessions. I have gone back and forth with both. Gone up and down in loadout. And have settled on a 2 piece Volund Gearworks setup with an IFAK a dump pouch and one rifle and one pistol mag. And Holster of course. I went with Bladetech Tek Loks so I can easily scale up or down as needed. |

In the summer I wear it as an inner/outer which is nice because its easy to get on and off and it doesn't slide around and traps minimal sweat. In the winter I use an HSGI slim grip pad instead of the inner belt. This arrangement works better for wearing over a bunch of outer layers and the slim grip does a decent job of keeping the belt steady. If I were to use the belt for quick don scenarios like home defense I would stick to using the slim grip pad. |

Like with seemingly everything else in this stuff, spending more money is the way to solve the problem.
I've been meaning to try the HSGI pad that lets you turn the Blue Alpha style belts into a quasi-padded belt. That might be a reasonable option if you can only afford one. |
