Here's my setup that I just completed.
Ronin Tactics 2 piece belt Esstac tall 2x rifle kywi Esstac 2x 'gap' pistol kywi Black Rhino Concealment Holster for G19.5 w/TLR 7 Might add an IFAK once I know what to put in it I really like the setup, it's stable without being too bulky. Super simple and fairly light, which is what I was going for. Works great paired with the inner belt, and in a pinch can even work without the inner belt. I kinda wish I went with the mid rise and 'naked' rifle kywi without the webbing, would have kept things a bit slicker and would be able to run 20's easier. This was definitely a buy once, cry once, the gear was not cheap but its quality. Pistol mags not correctly inserted

@Nnelson9
not at home so I'm not sure the size but I know I was in-between sizes and Ronin told me to get the smaller of the sizes. Still leaves me enough room to expand for thicker clothing. I really like the setup though, lightweight enough and stiff enough for a what I have on there and I'm sure a bit more. The Ronin is nice but pricey. I'm sure Esstac's double belt setup works great too for less money, but the loops that connect gear to the belt blocks some of the velcro contact because it goes over the outside belt and not attached to outside molle |

Chest rig is Tactical Tailor Mini-mav with triple rifle/magna-mag pistol and a vertical accessory pouch.

I am on information overload. Need a war belt for,range use, and a class. So many choices. Just a holster for my M&P Pro 5”, a couple mags, AR mag, small IFAK/ TQ, multi tool. I have been wanting to buy one for 2 years. Just worried I will buy something, not work and have to buy more gear. I am on a budget no more than $200 and can buy more later.
Can anyone help point me to a solution/? If you have something laying around IM me and I will buy. I like the inner belt with Velcro but again no idea and budget. Thanks for any advise. |
