I see a lot of the RDS holsters. My agency ended up removing all of the optic hoods. We kept finding that guys were getting fouled re-holstering after weird shooting positions, clearing tight hallways etc or having to fight/defend the gun hands on. It happened on the range and then in the field a few times for real and the training section axed them. With an enclosed optic it was basically unnecessary anyway.
FYI if any of you have seen similar stuff. |

Added the ice vent pad to my MHA. Huge difference. Need longer one wrap before I can get the shoulder pads on my Crye LVS carrier. I used my old First Spear cummerbund on the Crye instead of the provided skeletal version.
The EssTac mag pouches are much better than the G-Code I was using. |

FYI if any of you have seen similar stuff. I could see that with a 6390RDS but on the 6360RDS the optic hood cannot rotate with the SLS down. Never had an issue but I also run the SLS hood guard as well. I added the Qore pads to the UBLs on my work and war belt. It is a huge improvement in comfort not having the edge of the UBL dig into my thigh when it’s jammed against the console. Definitely worthwhile upgrade even for a UBL. |

I recently got the BFG CHKL for a great price from Midway, great belt, but they shipped me a size bigger than ordered.
Now it is sold out and honestly i realized I dont need a belt to have 2 helo clips on it. I realized that the two belt system is probably great for cops or competition, but has limitations when it comes to putting it on quick for shtf, or being able to wear over snivel gear during the winter. I also would like the ability to wear the belt over PT gear for runs / rucks Now I am eyeballing the HSG Slim Grip Padded belt, any feedback on if it sounds like a good fit or experience with it? |

I like it for what it is. However, I would but the Duty Grip version. The down side to the regular SlimGrip is that it only have two rows of molle. Depending on what pouch you are trying to mount, it may be not be solid. The Duty grip version would all you to mount something to the “inner belt” instead of the molle. At work, will try to post pics later. |

Just about finished with my war belt. Loving it so far. Only issue I have is my esstac pistol pouch is meant for a 3 row molle but my belt is the ats slim war belt with 2 rows so part of the pouch either hangs to low or rides to high. Seems flimsy. Initial pics didn't have the thigh strap. Recently added it and then played nerf with my son. Blurred out because not today Mr ATF mahttps://photos.app.goo.gl/zYHzK4UFWmTNPTLU7

I use the HSGI LASER Duty-Grip Padded Belt and like it but would not mind a cheaper backup that isn't crap and something that I wouldn't have to sew a belt through either. Made here in the USA? @ArizonaRifleman I use the Wilder Tactical pad, which is supposedly made in the USA. If you like HSGI, they make the same thing (be careful though, as they make a hook lined AND a loop lined version). Like the HSGI belt you have, they are just slap-on neoprene liners for when you aren't wearing your inner belt. If your neoprene-lined duty belt doesn't slip around, you'll likely find these stay put just as well. Now, caveat emptor: everyone is different. I am not an ass-less wonder. I have a butt. I also have a thigh strap on my holster so, once the strap is clicked, it can't go up very far, and my ass keeps it from going down. The neoprene just aids with these factors for me, and keeps the hook lining on the belt from scratching me or my clothes up. Overall I would recommend just because it's like having 2 belts in one, without having to buy 2 of everything. It's especially nice since I might find myself shooting in cold layers that otherwise hang over my pant's beltline. |

Anyone have a ferro bison belt. How do you like it. I’m putting together my first belt. My second question is should I just start with a true north adaptor it’s $40 more than the safariland mid rise. If it’s worth it I’ll get it from the start. This is mostly for the range maybe some run and gun.

Is that belt from Eagle Industries??
Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By USAFtacFANAC: Exactly. The surface area alone is worth using one wrap. My gun game belt has a ton of mag pouches. The plastic belt loops or malice clips made the mag side of my belt sag because there was not enough contact with the velcro. Guys who run minimal stuff on their belt may not have that problem, but I use One Wrap regardless. This picture is without my angled mag pouch. That is a ton of space to lose contact with if you are doing something that requires moving. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/323787/belt_jpg-2229147.JPG |
