Definitely. HSGI makes great stuff, but if you’re going that route, get the slim.

Yes.
Very easy to deploy with everything you need that you set it up for. Especially when transitioning from my CCW handgun to a more equipped fighting device. The holster on the battle belt is empty so I can holster my handgun when I access my door pocket AR pistol or rifle. WB's are especially useful if you have to get out of your POV and fight on foot. YMMV. |

Yes. It is what we used in the old school days. I have a plate carrier, but I like a belt/harness with a slick carrier better.
If I want to be less noticeable, leave the battle belt at home, wear slick carrier under a jacket or big shirt and have a concealed weapon for gray man activities. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How you going to battle without a battle belt!? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I don’t see the point. How you going to battle without a battle belt!? I have a battle belt, but I just cannot really envision the scenario under which I would grab it. If something seems trivial, I’ll just grab a handgun or an SBR. If something seems more serious, I will slip into my LBV (or plate carrier), which doesn’t take much more time than grabbing the battle belt ... but contains WAAAYY more stuff - like more mags, sidearm, binos, NODS, water, IFAK, etc. So I am honestly not sure what situation would call for a battle belt.

I don't. I've always wanted to set one up. I finally got a plate carrier and plates and that was a long time coming.
Right now, I'd be carrying my handgun in a holster on an Ares Aegis belt with a couple of reloads and maybe another AR mag in a carrier. And I'm talking blue jeans. I don't have any battle pants or whatever the fuck people use. I guess that's next is to get an "outfit" together with the proper apparel. (sigh) It's only money, right? |

I don't like having all that stuff on a plate carrier, so a belt shoulders some of the load.
Such as spare pistol mags. Beside the three rifle mags right up front. (Don't want pouches on pouches to be able to go as low as possible prone) The pistol mags go off to the side somewhere and become very awkward to get to. |

I think this is similar to the conclusion most come to when they have actually trained with them-or attempted to. Maybe for LE as a duty belt? Otherwise they're kind of a fad |

absolutely, I started with a HSGI suregrip. the belt stayed in place decently but would eventually ride up. I sold the belt and went with an inner/outer setup.
I bought mine from blue alpha gear. very high quality and great CS. I wear mine every range trip if im shooting the pistol I have holstered or not. I have a kt mech holster with a glock 19 and x300u two hsgi pistol tacos one hsgi rifle taco and an ifak I run my pc with 4 hsgi rifle tacos. anything else and it gets real heavy real quick but I may add one more rifle mag. |
