The thread on tasers got me thinking about the rest of you across our country and how your belt is set-up. I always find it interesting to see how each and every officer sets up their belt. I find myself finding new tricks and ideas and various places to carry the things we need to be prepared. Jeager001 had his set-up listed in the taser thread, here is mine. Starting clockwise from the buckle: Double Cuff case Pistol Leatherman Wave Latex Glove Case Silent Key Keeper (even though the keys are usually in my front pocket or in the mag pouch when I get out. Mostly just for safe keeping when off duty) Radio Surefire G2 OC ASP Double Mag Pouch |
|
I've got nothing big on my back, drives me nuts when I sit in the car. Starting from my SL20 ring that hangs over my left butt cheek and going clockwise... Radio Tazer (cross draw) Freeze +P Mags Slient key keeper Single open-top cuff holder Gun Asp And it ends with the 2nd pair of cuffs on the hanging strap over the right butt cheek. |
|
Right to left from the buckle: mag pouch gun surefire 6p in a snap top pouch handcuffs (Nothing across back) left hip: baton ring ASP radio taser I used to carry a second cuff case on my left hip, will be relocating onto my front somewhere, but for now I carry extra sets on the spotlight and just drop an extra set into my cargo pocket if needed. |
Someone should just tack up the other threads we have on this  Then again, I have changed my set up a little.  From the buckle going clock wise: Double cuff case Gerber multi-tool keeper holster Asp baton single cuff case keeper <back clear> keeper single cuff case Surefire G2 (with recharge conversion) Radio OC spray keeper Double mag pouch (horizontal) I moved my escape hood (gasmask) to my pant belt under my duty belt to save room. It sits below my OC spray. ETA: 2 more cuff cases |
|
Starting clockwise from the buckle: Right side: O.C. Holster (Glock 22 with a M3 light) Double cuff case Glove pouch in the small of my back Left side: Radio pouch Collapsible baton Double mag pouch That set up balances me well. I only have the soft glove case on my back. I was injured during a on duty fall when I fell on my handcuff case. The case was positioned on the right side of my back. Never again. Still have back pain after 10 years from that fall. |
|
Mine right now is (from belt-buckle going clockwise): Horizontal double mag pouch keeper holster keeper asp keeper empty back cuff case keeper Stinger holster radio keeper OC I have a 32" waist and am very short on realistate. Not sure what i'm going to do when/if i get a taser. I might have to move the mag pouch to verticle on my left side and move my cuffs up to my front right. |
^^^ I'm a 32 waist also and have the same problem. If you want to free some room up for a Tazer I would dump the stinger holster and just get the simple ring type holder for an SL20. I just have my flashlight hanging in the charger in the car and grab it whenever I get out at night. That way it's always charged and I'm not sitting on it. I would also get an open top mag pouch pouch and turn it vertical. It should be on the left side of your body (if you are right handed). This allows you to easily grab the mags with your left hand from a prone position. |
| We also have pretty much ditched the OC from the belt if you are carrying the taser. We carry it in the car, but several of us have quit carrying it. Alot of it due to always cross contaminating. If you know you are going to a situation where you need it you can grab it as you get out of the car. I have a taser and an ASP. I have found that the OC isn't all it's cracked up to be. JMHO, YMMV. |
