I like my MHA, I'm not thrilled with the strap. How do you have yours set up if you don't mind me asking?

Agreed.  Their strap blows.  I took the multicam one I ordered off almost as fast as I put it on.

The T-REX strap is much better, and easy to rig up.

Will fit thick duty belts down to 1.5" belts, it's light, it's way more comfortable than the more rigid mounting options but still makes for a good clean draw, and at $60 it's affordable.  Paired with the Shaw swivel leg strap I'm running, it's great, all day on the range running and gunning has never been more comfortable with a pistol strapped on, and sitting, moving around in general is much better.  

I cheaped out on buying pre-cut Reese wraps for it, and ghetto wrapped the Bang Hanger with some scraps from when I wrapped a holster, so it ain't pretty, but it does hide most of the exposed Tegris (love the material properties, but hate the look of exposed Tegris).

Looks like I could get some esstac pouches and use one wrap but what about the holster? I've got a bunch of safariland holsters, hangers, and QLS stuff but it's all for duty belt size (2.25"). I'm not really interested in dropping the money on a True North and I don't really think I'd like it anyway.


Have you tried General Northerly Direction?


Lol, well that's certainly priced much more in my range for a fun belt. I'm just not sure I'd like it and I definitely don't like using a thigh strap. I was hoping there was something similar to the UBL but for a 1.75" belt. In the meantime, I did just find this RDR Gear Adapter that'll probably work until I can figure out something better.

What's the difference?

Not trying to be snarky, I have the True North strap and it's been a strap. Does what I'd expect, and since others are having a different experience with something so simple it makes me question myself.

Stick some extra foam plugs in some free molle loops on the belt and wedged somewhere on the buttstock.

I'll have to dig my T-Rex strap out of my storage box. I used to use it with the Safariland UBL but switched to the MHA and quit using a strap. I've had some draw issues without a strap though, it's more comfortable for long distances.

The strap that came with my G-Code holster mounting platform is elastic. Hell I just assumed they were all elastic. I don't know why they wouldn't be. Plus you can get it with either a plastic buckle or a cobra buckle (cobra buckle is obviously more expensive).

That's pretty cool. I was also digging through old bookmarks and saw this

ANR Vastus

Anyone have experience with it? Wondering if it would work with a Bang Hanger? My problem with the UBL is the offset, it makes my holster cant outward and messes with my grip. The MHA is an aluminum plate with no give and can rub a raw spot on a run. I'm thinking the Bang Hanger + Vastus may provide flex without the offset.

Vastus is good, and will work with the Bang Hanger, and for the money, it's hard to beat.  For best comfort, I still prefer the Shaw Concepts Side Kick.

So i tried to assemble a belt kit using the 3a blast belt i found. I used things i had laying around. I Will try that in the field late May on a reserve training, meanwhile i Will do some dry training at home plus One or two times at the range. Please keep in mind that It Is a military use belt.



-3a belt rigged with surplus British Virtus suspenders and buckle from Molle 2 repair kit
-eagle industries pistol Mag pouch
-british osprey single rifle Mag pouch (not convinced, but It Is the only single covered pouch i have around)
-tasmanian Tiger dump pouch
-ifak from Utactic (old ukrainian gear brand)
-surplus US army medical pouch (for work/exam gloves, green headlamp and such)
-surplus US army holster made by London Bridge trading (low Speed, but It fits different models and has extra security straps)

For reference my current belt kit which follows the same layout


The idea behind a 3a belt Is that if correctly worn and mated with and appropriate armor carrier It would create a reasonable layer of extra lower back area protection without sacrificing too much mobility. Something like this

Not my case, as It Is more out of curiosity than real need at the Moment.

I usually run suppressor and muffs, but I keep a pair of Surefire Sonic Defenders on my belt. Just in case I need to double up or forget my electronic muffs. They are small, and take up little room.

Work gear
I keep cheap in ear pro on my PC as back ups.

PTT ear pro with my helmet.
Sometimes I take off the liberator2 and put them in my bump pouch on my belt.

Civilian gear. Rifles are suppressed
I have a bunch of extra in ear in my range bag and center consuls of my truck.  

I keep my walker rzr in my range bag. When I’m on the range and not using them I’ll put them in the dump pouch.


Personally if shit popped off and I didn’t have time for ear pro I wouldn’t care about hearing damage. First deployment I figured out how bad it sucks but also I’d be fine without it.

Nicely done. I don't see any wrinkles.

I ordered a new holster for my P226, last night. I started to order all the other stuff to build the belt, but I figured I'd wait and see if the holster is going to work, first. However, I did order the IFAK pouch. The place I ordered it from is usually sold out, so I figured I might as well go ahead and order it while I can.

Again, nice work on the wrap.

Anybody set up a belt for use with a shotgun? I realize it's really not practical, but I was just thinking about different belt setups (AR, lever action, pistol, etc.) and thought, "I wonder what a shotgun war belt would be like and what all would you put on it..?"

The hard part to me would be the storage of shotgun shells. Sure you can use a bandolier type belt, but most of those have the shells going all the way around. For a belt such as this, I'd think that having shells only on 1 side (your loading hand side) would be more ideal with the rest of the belt real estate being for things like a med kit (like any other war belt). Or would it look more like a belt for something like a 3 gun competition.



I can see nor offer any practical application for such a belt outside of a 3 gun competition. I don't know...maybe I'm crazy. That's just one of the million thoughts that enter my brain at any given time, lol. And sometimes, those thoughts are of crazy shit like a war belt built around a shotgun.

Esstac makes velcro backed shotgun cards that can be carried in AR mag pouches. In the scenario that you really needed to run a shotgun, they would be a good option. They're cheap and you can use them to reload from the gun, and swap cards from pouches to the gun. I have two velcro'ed to my Mossberg. I don't think the gamer setup you posted is secure enough for a combat application, but I also have not used them. It just looks like you're going to start loosing shells if you are bumping into stuff, moving around, falling or laying down, moving through brush etc.



Theres also these types of pouches that would work for carrying extra ammo. Reloading is going to be slow, but thats always a problem with shotguns. If you could find this shape pouch but without the elastic inserts, you could put it on your belt along with AR mag pouches, and load all of it with the shotgun cards. You could easily go back and forth from rifle to shotgun with the same belt this way.

Yeah it was just for an example. I know it's meant for 3-gun competitions and wouldn't be suitable for any type of actual combat situation.

And I have a few of those shotgun cards from Esstac. The problem I had was getting the Velcro to stay on my shotgun. And I cleaned the hell out of it with rubbing alcohol beforehand to make sure there wasn't any grease or oil on it. But after a couple days, they were barely hanging on there. So I went back to the side saddle. But putting a few in some AR-style mag holders seems like it'd work well enough. The only problem is would they stay in there while running or having to crawl around under and over things?

Truthfully, though, a battle belt built around a shotgun really isn't a feasible thing. It's just something that popped into my head.

The hard part to me would be the storage of shotgun shells. Sure you can use a bandolier type belt, but most of those have the shells going all the way around. For a belt such as this, I'd think that having shells only on 1 side (your loading hand side) would be more ideal with the rest of the belt real estate being for things like a med kit (like any other war belt). Or would it look more like a belt for something like a 3 gun competition.

I can see nor offer any practical application for such a belt outside of a 3 gun competition. I don't know...maybe I'm crazy. That's just one of the million thoughts that enter my brain at any given time, lol. And sometimes, those thoughts are of crazy shit like a war belt built around a shotgun.

I've moved away from cards and back to a solid side saddle and if I was setting up a war belt I'd use a canteen pouch at 10 oclock. That's what I did in Iraq. The shells aren't held in place but I never found that to be to big of an issue during reloads.

Now I'd primarily load from the side saddle. Then refill the side saddle from the dump pouch.

I've got some of those pouches shown above but for 12 rounds. If thought about a belt set up with them on either side of the buckle but haven't got around to it.

However, I did order the IFAK pouch. The place I ordered it from is usually sold out, so I figured I might as well go ahead and order it while I can.

Again, nice work on the wrap.

Now if I got myself a belt with a couple/few of these shotgun speed loaders hanging on it, THAT might be something...

I don't think the gamer setup you posted is secure enough for a combat application, but I also have not used them. It just looks like you're going to start loosing shells if you are bumping into stuff, moving around, falling or laying down, moving through brush etc.

Theres also these types of pouches that would work for carrying extra ammo. Reloading is going to be slow, but thats always a problem with shotguns. If you could find this shape pouch but without the elastic inserts, you could put it on your belt along with AR mag pouches, and load all of it with the shotgun cards. You could easily go back and forth from rifle to shotgun with the same belt this way.

That’s pretty much what I do. I have both options on my “shotgun PC”.

Something must be wrong over at S&S Precision (Dam Neck's Quickie Mart). I think they missed a zero on their new battle belt pricing. It looks promising.

Asking again

Anyone in line to try Agilite's new belt?  The silence may be a "no."

I know... S&S is known for $1k plate carriers, $200 holster extenders and $500 helmet mountable lights. That is why them selling a belt for "only" $100 had me doing a WTF?!?!

They are used by Tier 1 SMUs and it is definitely quality kit. Whatever the buckle, I'm sure it is good to go.

I doubt it but I'll check when I get home. Maybe a 5rd metal mag...

No on the AR mags but 4 rd 308 savage bolt action mags do

I'd be interested in your Blue Alpha comparison as I have four.  The Agilite looks very promising

This does look interesting. Looks to be 1.5" vs the usual 1.75" to 2". The 1.5" is the edc belt, no idea on the oiter. There isn't much info on it and no video of the buckle system.
