They're having a sale, 15% Off right now and keep in mind you can use your HSA/FSA on them to upgrade your belt. |

The elastic is nice and tight as well. They do replace your stuff for free if you need to use it though, which is pretty cool. |

I definitely plan on doing that. In the process of figuring that world out. There are sooo many ways you can go. I know sort of what I want just not how to get there. I know the Sherpa catches a lot crap but I love it for the application it was built for (OWB for EDC or plain clothes but I only carry like that in the woods) I carry conceal every other situation. I've owned guns for a long time, I grew up with them being from the country and I'm 43 now, but just now dipping into the "battle belt" world. I think I've narrowed down the Safariland holster I want and I think I want a True North set up but very ignorant still in all that comes between the two (marrying them together) and somewhat still ignorant on finish making a pick on the holster. Any help would be appreciated. |

Like I said makes sense, just never thought of it from lack of of experience with simulation rounds. Any advice on a better holster would be much appreciated too as I'm very ignorant in duty/ competition/ tactical holster setups that are perfect for "battle belt" setups. |

I modded a Safariland drop leg to mount it. I may go with a Safariland holster in the future and like the option to switch in the future. Blackhawk makes an Omnivore that latches to a TLR-1 but I don't like the light because it isn't rechargeable. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/255381/2E8E5E22-E2D3-4A0F-A9B7-CFC37BC2BBBA-2423092.jpg Note the little tab. It may look wonky but it works pretty good from my experience. View Quote Yes I'm a huge fan of the rechargeable too. Brighter and longer run times over batteries. Thank you for the good info on your holster. It really helps a guy that's so lost and used to carrying conceal 95% percent of the time but wanting to dabble more in the other realm of range shooting and possibly competition shooting even if I'm only competing against my own time and honing my skills. Thank you very much!! |

This is the only close shot I have at the moment but you thread the Safariland deop and offset onto your belt. You put the female qls plate on that and the male on the holster... |

Drop refers to how low/high your holster sits on your belt. The top holster is on a mid-ride(drop) mount. The bottom holster is on a high ride mount. High ride puts the grip above the belt, mid ride puts the grip a little below the belt. Attached File |

I used my rig at belt height and one match taught me from the safety standpoint you want a drop leg design. Not for the draw nearly as much as the reholstering of the gun.

I'm working on upping my gear game, and will be getting a newer style battle belt to replace my old school DAA competition belt. I'm learning towards Blue Alpha because they are locally sourced and well priced, and I can get the size changed after the fact if I need to. (I'm currently mostly done losing weight but still just a little to go).
Is there any reason to get the more expensive MOLLE version vs the basic inner/outer version? I have a safariland drop holster with leg attachment, Esstac Double Pistol mag, HSGI taco(s) light and multi tool, and an AR mag pouch TBD. Happy to use one-wrap so it seems the external molle is not a need in this case? |

View Quote When holstering a full size gun at waist height you will tend to turn the barrel tip in toward your body. This is because you are forced to pull your arm higher and have more bend in your elbow. With a drop leg holster your arm and bend at the elbow is less acute and this tendency is mitigated. Yes, you can train out of this but take a conscience move versus the instinctive move with a lower holster. One trick I was taught was to always lower your gun to ride the outside of the holster and draw up with the barrel next to the holster, then go down to insert into the holster. I will video it later in the week to demonstrate. If you do the barrel next to the holster, up and then down it is impossible to point the barrel at your body. Most NDs happen going in a holster, not coming out. |

Here is my setup that is a work in progress. After laying it all out it looks like I need another belt to run my Scorpion unless I want to have to swap pouches out. I love the Esstac suppressor holder that fits my YHM Resonator K almost perfectly. I had to add a small piece of Velcro so the flap closes. I really wish I could find one just like it for my TiRant 45 and Obsidian 45 and 9.
