So all this year I did USPSA matches with a RCS Phantom holster and 2 mag carrier. I have noticed in dry fire sessions, and in longer matches, the way I have to draw from the phantom would irritate my shoulder. I have also just used it for USPSA and instead utilizing a Raven VG2 for concealed carry (AIWB). So with that combination the whole Phantom setup is destined for the EE soon.
So I was looking into putting together a belt for USPSA and Steel matches. I am torn between a Safariland ELS type setup or going with a 2-belt system with CR Speed pouches and a dropped/offset holster. Looking for a good discussion on what you guys use/recommend. Thanks. |

It's really hard to beat this kit, especially for the price: http://benstoegerproshop.com/bsps-boss-doh-holster-5-x-ghost-magazine-pouches-double-alpha-academy-daa-belt-deal/

I bought everything separately at different times and used a holster a buddy of mine made. I've used other Blade-Tech holsters in the past and they were fine. Never tried a Comp-Tac. |

Seems I can color coordinate the belt and mag pouches which is important. ;) |

I got the standard size, then sanded them down slightly (maybe 1/8") just to be 100% confident that I was within the equipment rules for production. And yes, color coordination is extremely important. It doesn't matter how good you shoot if you don't look good doing it. |

Hahaha, yup now I have to ensure I wear the right shirt for shoots now. I am waiting for them to get in to ask but maybe you know. Can I swap out just the holster part or do I need to remove the entire thing (Holster + BOSS) to shift between pistols? |

You can leave the mount (circled part) on the belt all the time, but you'll need to remove the hanger plate via the two screws, then swap out the holster via the 2 or 3 mounting screws. 
If you plan on swapping back and forth a lot, it may be worth it to get another hanger (http://benstoegerproshop.com/bsps-boss-doh-holster-hanger-y-plate/) and already have the other holster attached to it. |

I'm using a DAA belt with the BOSS hanger and love it. I have switched back and forth between a Bladetech 1911 holster and a Comptac M&P holster. If you want to switch often get an additional "Y" plate for each holster shell. Then it's just 2 screws to swap shells.
Dang I type to slow. |

Awesome man, thank you very much for the help! Ordered and now to wait for the delivery man. |

Got it in and did the initial setup. Going to do some dry firing/skills practice to ensure I have everything (Like mag hyolders) where I want them. Initial impressions though: the holster is a 1000% times better.
