I am very happy with this solution: the pack sits very comfortable, can be used without the belt and just thrown in the range back / backpack when i go hiking / hunting without this belt. In addition it takes 3s to pull the hole Thing around and have it hang on my back if i stay in prone for rest after LARPING too hard.

Only thing I would recommend is double-triple checking your passive retention screw on that t-rex holster. It's a good holster, but I've seen many blasters hit the deck when you run/jump/roll/fall/etc when using that specific holster. Was doing night training up in KY last year and 2 different guys had glocks escape during drills. They're both running Safariland ALS now. |

Whomever recommended the ATS single pistol magazine to use as a flashlight for me, appreciate it. Mine arrived the other day and I just now had the time to go through the mail. Quality is really nice, feels light yet sturdy but I do have one question tho. What's up with that weird molle way to weave and how is it supposed to stay secured?
I'mma bit perplexed right now |

Nice to see new stuff posted. @DaveM4P99 You mentioned a holster for your Fenix light. What is it and do you have a pic? I usually don't run a light on my belt, but am interested in the option. I use that light and it's usually just in my pocket. |

It has a big belt loop that works well and a Velcro flap on top to secure it. |

The Blue Alpha Gear belt will be delivered tomorrow and I already have all the esstac mag pouched, a dump pouch and for now we will use an existing TRex Arms holster for her M&P9 with a TLR light. |

The esstac pouches arrived today for her. She likes my Safariland holster so I’ll be getting that for her and I’m waiting for the aws smu to go on sale again. I’m trying to set hers to mirror mine but I won’t know how much space is available until I get the belt.

Cp Details on mini medical pouch? And is that a TQ pouch adjacent? The Mini Med pouch is a BFG BooBoo Pouch. I use it Earplugs, a Combat Gauze and an HH and a few band-aides for...... You guessed it, BooBoo's. (The only Non-ESSTAC pouch) The other pouch next to it is an Old School Esstac Single Mag Pouch with Lid. Dont think "Stu and Co." even make them anymore. I have squirreled away several for the impending apocalypse. I use it for a Multi-tool. Also the belt pads for those who have IM'd me are from Qore Performace ICE VENTS, I am finding the comfort of a padded belt very helpful, especially when moving over longer distances. The easy adjustment of the ESSTAC Enhanced Shooters belt (being able to adjust both sides at the buckle) it allows me to make a quick adjustment and still keep everything centered up on my beltline and have a choice whether to run it with an inner-belt or just over whatever trouser belt I may be wearing, and choose whether to run it padded or not and make those adjustments in a matter of a couple seconds without removing pouches. This is a big plus for me. chuck |

Blue Alpha MOLLE outer and inner belt, HSGI tacos, Safariland with QLS, True North nub and mid ride holster attachment, Condor IFAK tear away pouch, condor drop pounce, and G19 gen 3 and TLR-1.

My belt is 40" from buckle to buckle and I had the 30" pad and it leaves just the right amount of space in the front. |

So far at least my version sits very snug, from the factory it was even too tight. Thank you for the tip ! |
