The Ronin is awesome. Great quality. Give them a call, they should be able to answer questions for you. The owner of Ronin is a great guy, freaking American hero.

I'm 99.45% sure the Ronin belt is made by AWS, as a lot of Tu's other gear is made by them. AWS is good to go in terms of build quality (even though their website is still stuck in 1994).

Thanks for the replies guys. I went with the Ronin Belt but it was really a coin toss. Reviews on both of them are very positive.
Will report back when I receive it. |

Glad you went with Ronin Tactics belt. I've listened to Tu Lam on the Global Recon podcast; his conversation between him and a MACV-SOG (Vietnam Green Beret SFC Michael G. Stahl) was one of the most interesting exchanges i've listened too.

I've never held either belt. Those in the know, are they thin enough to thread on a Safariland mid ride belt holster? |

I've worn the TYR gunfighter with cobra buckle full time for the past two years on so. The velcro where you thread the belt back on itself fell off a few weeks ago. Haven't contacted TYR about it. My set up was a glock 22 in a Safariland on a mid ride UBL, Blackhawk gasmask pouch (with mask and spare filter) a pair of zip cuffs and 2 pistol mags. Carried the load well. It looks like the Ronin doesn't have any padding. I prefer the padding.
The UBL slides onto the belt after removing the buckle plenty easy. Problem was the UBL slots are too tall for the belt so there's some play. Can be negeated by purchasing those slot fillers from somewhere like gcode or using zip ties. |

Cool thanks for the info. I suppose the UBL is made for 2.25" duty belts. The Safariland belt filler looks kind of hokey but works ok. |

Very nice! How was it with the mag pouches directly on the belt? I'm sure they were a little higher than preferable, but I'm going for a lower profile setup.
It looks really solid...I might be breaking out the credit card soon 
ETA: Sorry for all the questions... is the inner belt hook or loop? My old duty belt had a hook inner belt and it was awful to wear without the outer belt because it stuck to everything. Lastly, what size did you get vs your pants size? I promise that's my last question.  Thanks for all the info!

Lastly, what size did you get vs your pants size? I promise that's my last question. Thanks for all the info!The pouches were a little tough to mount to the belt. I blame that on the pouches though. I'm currently using very cheap pouches and I feel like they didn't line up because of the pouches and not the belt itself. I have some Tacos coming but in the meantime I'll mount a few high quality pouches and report back. I'm sure it is going to be a little tight though. I did intentionally mount them higher than I would on a standard Molle belt and it seemed to work really well. When I removed and replaced mags in the holster, they went in smooth and didn't buckle. It is hook and loop. It doesn't seem to be picking up an debris so far but I've only been wearing it for a few days. As for the sizing, they were pretty much right on the money. I was tempted to order a size bigger but I ordered my regular size and it fits perfectly. Quoted:
Looks great. Same question above, any issues mounting molle directly to the belt? They are definitely a little tight but they fit well. The low quality pouches I'm using caused the webbing on the pouch to bunch up just a little but all the pouches I tried, went on fine. |

Do you feel that the outer belt is significantly stiff enough to support the holster and pouches without sagging or rolling?
Trying to decide between the Warrior and the senshi, since the senshi is advertised as being as stiffer. |

I would add one word of advice, take it or leave it. Leg rig subloads suck in my experience, especially if you're doing a lot of moving. I would move the mag pouches up on your belt, unless you're a big fan of subloads for some reason.

If you take the inner belt out an hold it by the buckle, it keeps it's shape perfectly and doesn't bend when you apply pressure on the top and bottom. I feel like it holds up my gear nicely. |

How thick is the outer belt with the PALS loops? Best I can guess from pictures is about 3/8" ?

I would move the mag pouches up on your belt, unless you're a big fan of subloads for some reason. I realize the disadvantages of leg rigs but I wanted to try this one by HSGI. It rides super high and is easily detachable. I'm going to keep the belt and leg platform separate in my trunk. Depending on the situation I can either take both or just the belt. I also wanted to try something that allowed me to leave my shirt untucked. Quoted:

Is the inner Velcro belt 2 inches? I would need to buy all new pants to make it fit if so.

whoa whoa whoa!! When did this shit come out? Does this style of belt ride up when you squat down or go prone? I have an HSGI wide battle belt from three or four years ago that is terrible about riding up. Can I put my tacos, pouches, and gcode holster with rti system on it? This looks like it might solve my problems with the wide battle belts.

Wow, these are sharp. I certainly need a 3rd or 4th load out belt! Just ordered the Shooter version; i couldn't see any difference between the two other than the buckle, it seems to be the same otherwise. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.....

This looks like it might solve my problems with the wide battle belts. Definitely no riding up whatsoever. The velcro is very strong. I went shooting today and didn't do any crazy movements but my other battle belts would have rode up. I just ordered a GCode holster so I can report back when I get it. It's 2 inches, so if the clips are long enough it should fit fine. Tacos definitely work though. 
Here is a 360 degree video I shot with it on. 360 Youtube Video |

This looks like it might solve my problems with the wide battle belts. I just got the Ronin Task Force belt and I love it. I use a G-Code RTI DUTY Mount Kydex Belt-Slide, HSGI tacos, and a dump pouch on mine. Works perfectly. Blade Tech tech lok also works great. No doubt this is one expensive belt, but is it a really well made piece of kit. Used mine in a 3-gun competition last week and it worked wonderfully. |
