Damn you Rock... After studying your belt and setup I couldn't resist. I just finished placing an order for some stuff to complete my own custom "battle belt" build... I don't have a dedicated setup and figured for range duty, or even SHTF a dedicated setup would be a good idea. I am a 1911 and shotgun guy so it will look a little different. I like the idea of having the pistol, a few spare mags, FAK, knife, multi-tool, flash light, dump pouch, spare long gun ammo, and a small utility pouch with a PSK.
I am not a huge fan of molle so mine is going to be based of a heavy 2" duty style nylon duty belt with a home made/ custom 4" padded inner. All the gear will ride on the belt.
I think it will make a great range setup. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

Sorry for the late follow up. It's made by Mission Knives; they're popular for their titanium alloys, but they have the same versions in A2 steel. Ironically, I found this particular model (MPK10 A2) with a 5.5" blade on sale (something crazy, like $50), so I did the typical ARCOM strategy and bought two
Edited to add pictures, because the best responses are often done better without words My belt has changed a little. I've found I needed a knife that sat a little lower, so my custom Ed Martin (now called the Mk-T3 E&E) was the best fit and didn't interfere in several positions, to include some "tactical falling" which I excel at. Along with the Ed Martin, I tried a larger Fehrman Last Chance, the Mission MPK10-A2, a Swamp Rat Knife Works Ratmandu (excellent blade!) and my long-time Mad Dog PATAK. The PATAK is by far the best blade I've used and it's been on several rigs for field work and deployments as well as EDC. Regardless of the choice, I've found blades around 5" (give or take half-and-inch) are about as big as I can handle when actually doing drills from getting out of a vehicle to various shooting positions and rolling around like a stuck pig when you smash your finger when in the prone.

So I started working on my NONE molle setup and quickly realized that I don't think its going to work how I had hopped...
I just ordered a padded molle setup to go over one of my belts, a 1911 molle holster, and a pistol mag holder.
I have mostly everything else I need at this point to set it up a bunch of different ways but look forward to getting a working setup ASAP. I will post pictures when once I get something together that I feel will actually work like I hope.
