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

I appreciate the info and the pics.... Lmao. 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 |

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. |

View Quote 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

Off topic a bit but I was wondering what's everyone using for bags to deploy their belts from or during storage and transporting to and from the ranges?

How has SKD tactical been with shipping lately. They brag how fast they are but still haven't got tracking after 3 days
|
|
|
[#40]
Haven't ordered from SKD since about New Years, but they shipped super fast to me.
|
|
|
[#41]
I emailed them and they responded already. The had a sale last week and are back logged with orders. They said Shipping guarantees were temporarily suspended.
Nice they responded fast I guess |
|
|
[#42]
I have never had a bad experience with SKD.
Just a nobody, with a "Molon Labia" tee-shirt and some Esstac gear. |
|
|
[#43]
I'm sure it's fine, I understand people are busy and that's good. I never ordered from them before so I wasn't sure. I'll probably order from them again.
|
|
|
[#44]
SKD are good people and are dealers for a bunch of good brands. They were patient with me when I was window shopping for gloves.
|
|
|
[#45]
I receive orders from them in 2 days. I’ve placed 5 or 6 orders.
|
|
|
[#46]
Still nothing today, no tracking
