You guys use the spacers? And what's the lowest you got for holster? Low ride?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DEDX: I use the regular belt loops on the mag pouches and they take up less space. Threw on some extra velcro to keeps things from moving around. Got about 5 years in this setup and have been pretty happy with it. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/260412/20220206_115910_jpg-2269133.JPG @DEDX What to did you use to secure the velcro? Glue? What? I have used adhesive backed velcro and it comes off easily |

As Leo is there any issues or concerns using the qls and the subject of weapons retention? I use a Safariland regular belt loop, with a QLS and no spacer for my carry belt. I use a Mid ride UBL, spacer and QLS for my battle belt. They make two different versions of QLS. The QLS and the QLS L. The QLS L requires much more manipulation to release it. If you’re worried about the regular QLS not being secure enough, the QLS L might help put your mind at ease. The two black QLS receivers are the QLS L. The FDE one is standard QLS. You’ll see where I circled the black one has 2 posts. Which require the extra manipulation to be able to squeeze the fork enough for the holster to release from the receiver. Just some of the QLS I had laying around, ignore the thigh rig, I don’t have any decent pics of my UBL on my battle belt.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fyeguy: I notice that True North sells an RTI adapter. Do you absolutely need that to connect an RTI wheel, or does it just provide some clearance? Not sure. Looking at the pics it looks like the holster portion of the RTI is just a tad too wide. You could probably fit the bare holster straight onto the bar though. I haven’t found any holsters at work that haven’t fit |

How heavy are your war belts fully loaded?
Mine feels fine when wearing it but when thrown in a gear bag, damn it adds some weight |

Glock 17 W/ Streamlight TLR-1 2 reloads Trauma kit Shears Small fixed blade Multi tool Surefire 6P light Streamlight Sidewinder Compact Thyrm 3X CR123 holder When I wear my belt running during the day, I ditch all the lights and switch to a Glock 43X. That gets it down closer to 6.0 pounds. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RandyLahey01: Anyone have advice on an axl eclipse or aws SMU? The smu is on sale and I’d like to get a good belt for competitions. Both sound like great options. Thank you. I have an AWS SMU. Worth the money for me and is worn on duty. It's not "stiff" like most other gun belts claim to be, the belt material can support a gun and magazines but also move with your body. I prefer the molle style of the AWS, allows for mounting of gear but doesn't look overtly tactical otherwise. I coupled mine with a Lead Devil Predator inner belt which adds some rigidity. The velcro holds the two belts together extremely well. I also like that the AWS belt has the extra material fold on the outside of the belt instead of the inside. I have my holster attached with a True North MHA, and all other pouches and stuff with onewrap. |

I just orders esstac belt and pouches. I have 6354do on the way. I just need a light. Does the streamlight trl1 hl work good in this holster or should I just a x300ua or x300ub? I hear the ub may or may not work with the thumb screw
