I've been quietly watching this thread and have a question. I notice a lot of people have their holster setup lower on the belt, and a thigh strap to add stability while mobile. Anyone feel this impedes them or gets annoying at all? With it sitting low, any issues with sitting in a vehicle?

I do not have personal experience with this, however I've heard from several people that it can be a little uncomfortable while sitting in vehicles, especially for extended periods of time. Its certainly more of a mobile setup for when sitting down a lot isnt a major factor. Either a belt slide or lower thigh rig should alleviate this. |

With it sitting low, any issues with sitting in a vehicle? No impediment or annoyance at all. The drop I have on mine is from when I was in LE. There was some annoying times but that depended more on the vehicle than the holster. It sits at my natural arm length otherwise. |

Hey — my recommendation would be MOLLE. I have one and have it attached via MOLLE, in my opinion MOLLE is actually more secure than any other option. I hope that helps! I left out names for obvious reasons. But good news is that it looks like both options work I just need to make a choice. Probably still going to go belt slide I think, but really impressed with customer service from Blue Alpha Gear with the quick response. Glad I ordered from them. |

Eh, I’ll play. Mismatched camo gang.
Stormrider belt, G-Code softshell scorpion mag carriers, Safariland with nub mod, and Spiritus fanny sack for med stuff. Probably going to throw another pistol mag on there to round out the weight.  Attached File |

I'll play with my cobbled together get up.
 Attached FileBase belt is a Crye AVS I picked up just last week for CHEAP! From left is an Esstac Kywi Double Pistol Gap, a Tac Tailor Fight Light Dump Pouch, an old GI Saw Pouch for an IFAK, CAT in an AAC suppressor pouch, TRex Ragnarok for G19 or longer, and finally a leatherman Multitool I've had for at least a decade. Priorities were fast and light while still retaining a set of essentials if ditching the PC for a chest rig end up happening, as well as being able to get LOW. Which is why the multitool is the only thing forward of my hips. |

With it sitting low, any issues with sitting in a vehicle? I use Safariland holsters with a mid ride UBL. I can get by without a single strap but I don't like the extra movement. I keep the single strap threaded through behind the QLS attachment. Once strapped, I don't notice it. As far as a lower holster getting in the way in a car or a restricted seating area, that's partly why I like the QLS. Not only does it allow me to swap pistols on my one belt, but it's easy to pull the holster off when getting in a vehicle and click it back in as soon as I get out. |

I Have a dump pouch. The idea being mag retention. No guarantee I will have a ready resupply of mags I wish to retain all of mine. Being of small waist this pouch takes up real estate. Not leaving any for an IFAK. So just running a TQ on the belt is the compromise at this point. Does anyone have an Idea if my reasoning is sound or not. Any input welcome.

You can either drop them in a cargo pocket or reinsert them into a pouch if you need to retain them. Plugging holes and making holes. Everything else is tertiary. IFAK is mandatory. There are a lot of options for adding TQs to the belt that don't eat real estate. These are on a PC, but you can use a similar method.  |

Perhaps replacing it with an IFAK of the same footprint and training to retain empty mags a different way is in order. Thanks for your input |

Takes up no space on the belt; I have very little space due to the gear I'm required to carry. Moving it off the belt to the belt loop helped immensely. Im a big fan of "make holes, patch holes" with minimal rifle sustainment. Belt loop dump pouch, IMO, is a easy to add that extra range/training piece of gear without needing to put it ON the belt. |

Been reading and lurking for a while, awesome insight on this thread!
I’m looking to put together a setup for myself and am torn between a Ronin Shutu or the TRex Orion belt. Price point they’re neck and neck it would seem, but in terms of mounting Kywis, medical pouch, and a holster which belt/attachment system is preferred? I’m leaning Ronin so does that mean MALICE? Any further recommendations on holsters? It’s either 6354DO or Ragnarok fore a Gen5 G34 w/X300. Thanks fellas trying to buy once cry once on that .mil pay lol |

One thing to consider, if you plan on wearing a rucksack or large pack with a warbelt you generally have to keep the entire rear of the belt clear so the pack can sit over it, versus on top of pouches pushing down. This goes from being a mild annoyance to becoming a real issue as time progresses and you start to thin out from sweating out your water or not eating for a while.
Most bags can be adjusted so the waist strap rides over a molle belt as long as the back is clear and it doesnt start pushing on it. |

What do you guys prefer for you mag pouch attachment? Molle or belt loop. I am thinking about getting Blue Alpha Gear belt and a couple HSGI pouches and cant decide if I should get molle or not.
If I use this for competition as well I could see moving or changing mag pouches often. Does that make a difference? I would think the belt attachment would be easier to change around. Thanks, |

Thanks, If you're moving stuff around a lot the belt mounts are a lot easier. I use belt mount for my competition belt and MOLLE for my work belt. I prefer the MOLLE on that belt because it allows more contact between the inner and outer belts making it more secure. That's nice when I'm climbing in and out of HMMWVs all day. |
