I've been looking at it for a while to replace my huge kit on my belt now. i recently ordered this one http://hsgi.us/proddetail.php?prod=HSG-MBP] My experience with this is that under stress or with gloves it can be hard to get into. The pouch is also a hair too narrow width-wise making for a harder pull. YMMV Also the Dark Angel pouch comes pre-packed and vacuum sealed so it can get more in there and I don’t have to take supplies from my other kits to fill it. I was looking at that pouch though; I'm just thinking the Dark Angel might be a better set up. http://www.shop.darkangelmedical.com/Medical-Products_c7.htm?page=all I am wondering though what the difference is between the Mil. only pouches and the regular ones. I got the Mil. kit. I think the difference is in the quick clot with the Mil. being x-rayable. |

Am I missing something here? A spare mag next to your pistol would be used for a one handed strong side reload. Drop the mag, holster the gun, load mag, draw, drop slide if you need to, shoot. Revolvers are typically loaded with the strong hand while the gun is held by the cylinder with the reaction hand. Hence why you see revolver guys keep the reload on the holster side. |

If you want a combat load, you need additional gear to carry that combat load. You can easily augment the belt with a chest rig, so don't be afraid to do that. 1b) There's also the issue of how large you are. I'm on the small side, and I can't put anything double-thickness on my belt without it dragging on stuff and bumping my arms. I use 2 single pistol TACOs and 2 single rifle TACOs, and that's the absolute most I can reasonably manage. 1c) Just because you have space on your belt does not mean you need to fill it up. This also goes for the knife. Be honest, what is the knife for? Fighting? Weapon retention? Looking cool? If you need it, fine. If you don't... Maybe you'll find that a smaller knife in your pocket an/or tools in a pack fill the utility function and you don't need the extra half a pound of Rambo knife. (snip) Just think about gear selection and take a look at what other people have done. The most important thing you need to keep asking yourself is, "Why?" 6 mags on a belt was the standard combat load for more than 3 decades: http://www.georgia-outfitters.com/_alice/0607.JPG Well From 2000-2004, the USAF used that. I can attest to it. I tried to move to a chest rig and got bitch-slapped for it. And yes, the 6 mags WAS the combat loadout, and I kind of thought that was weak. My LBE runs 9 mags for my rifle, but if you do the math, once you get into an engagement ammo gets spent FAST. |

Just got my ATS belt back from the local alterations shop. $12 to sew a strip of Velcro along the inside. With an Uncle Mike's inner belt it is now extremely stable. It was good before, only issue is that it would ride up when I sat down. Now it doesn't move at all.

Which do you guys prefer G-Code RTI or Safariland QLS/MLS?
Trying to figure out which one sits closer to the body as well. Likely do a belt and molle setup for PC |

I guess you mean the top photo with everything? Ifnot, just skip to the belt section.
Firearm Spikes stripped lower, LRPK, Magpul UBR stock, and a few things here or there. Spikes assembled upper, MOE handguards, Magpul grip/ AFG2, LMT enhanced bolt, BCM mod 4 charging handle, Larue 129 with Aimpoint M3comp, Laure FTS mount with aimpoint 3x mag, Troy BUIS, a few things here or there. Plate carrier SKD PIG PC, Pig 2L hydration carrier with camelbak 72oz bladder, Right shoulder strap replaced with double D kit, HSGI pogey pouch up top, bottom pouches left to right (in photo) HSGI small radio (on cummerbund), 4x rifle taco, Now have a MSM stealth admin mount on other side cummerbund. Bulletproofme multi hit rifle front plates, rifle side plates. Belt HSGI suregrip with riggers belt, From left to right (in photo), HSGI pistol taco, double decker taco, double decker taco, Gcode RTI molle adapter, HSGI bleeder with RTI adapter, Gcode RTI duty mount, Bladetech WRS (see note below) with Sig P220 combat/ TLR1, Kabar TDI. The bladetech WRS did not fit dierctly to the RTI adapter, well it will but the thumb latch can not be moved if installed that way, so I have now cut some @3/16" al tubing to act as a spacer to get rid of the extra drop in the WRS holster. Also hacked off unused ears on the RTI adapter. Think thats about it... I hope. |

I have a FAL, too, and have been toying with different mag pouches. I like your setup a lot, especially the relative simplicity of it.

Like bjwar, I'm skinny, too. For once I find it a positive as it prevents me from carrying a metric shit ton of gear on my waist and really forces me to think out my load.

As I mentioned, I replaced the HSGI large pouch with a HSGI smal radio pouch for my IFAK. The other pouch (I think it was a MAxpedition FR=1) is still attached but empty. It catched odds and ends if I ever need to carry an extra light, knife, snack ber, etc. I wanted to keep it as basic as possible but kept falling back to what you see. |

I just bought the knife today and really like it, I thought it would fit with the Molle but I was wrong and thats why its so far back. Suggestions? Thoughts? How do you access the rear pouch when it's on your person? |

They also make a pistol magazine version that you can put most types of pistol mags in. http://www.skdtac.com/HSGI-TACO-Modular-Single-Rifle-Magazine-Pouch-p/hsg.227.htm |

I was given a safariland dropleg holster. Is it possible to take the dropleg stuff off and buy some kind of attachment to fit it on a MOLLE belt?
Where would I purchase the attachment? Is it better to attach the holster to the MOLLE panel or to the inner belt itself? The warbelt I have has a cutout to allow the inner belt to be accessed. I've been inspired to setup a warbelt, and I want to mount the holster to the belt. I figured since I got the holster for free, if I have to spend some money to get it how I'd want it, I'll still come out ahead. |

safariland makes a molle attachment system, they also make a belt drop to work from the inner belt.

Really depends on how low you want it, i.e. on top of the belt or dropped down slightly below it. |

I'm looking to build my first belt rig. I was wondering what size would fit since I wear a size 42-44 pant. I was thinking the HSGI in xl would work. What do you guys think. Are there any guys with setups like this let me know how it fits.
I'll take some pouches off some of rigs to set it up and find what works. I'll post pics when I get it and set it up. |

I'm in a 38-40 and the XL almost touches so it depends on how much gap you want. I was in a 42 and there was maybe an inch to inch and a half of gap at that time. 48" Cobra inner belt was a little long, but still works just fine. |

How much gap do you need in the belt and how much is too much? I ordered the HSGI Suregrip belt along with the matched duty belt. Now I'm more sure it will fit alright. Thanks |

I don't know if it's been covered with your setup or not, but here's a few things I noticed. 1, And most important.... your pistol mags are facing the wrong direction. Bullets towards center on belt if they're on your "Front". If they're on your "Side" or towards your back, then bullets to the rear. 2, If you Beer Can Grip your rifle mags... then they're okay. If you Index Finger grip the rifle mags, then #1 applies as well. 3. That knife is, IMHO, too far back. If you're going to carry one, it should be kinda close to the pistol. Then again, I prefer to carry mine on my opposite side for weapon retention. BG goes for my pistol, I use weapon hand to secure weapon, and support hand to retrieve knife and act appropriately. 4. Why not move that GP pouch towards the front a litte more?? Might make it easier to access whatever stuff is in it. Anyhow, just a couple things I noticed. Best of luck and remember, YMMV. |
