As the title states show your war belt and first line setups complete with component rundowns and even costs. There are alot of seperate threads on this but no one thread with everybodies setups.

Good points. I need to figure out how to mount it. I'll post back when I figure it out. Hopefully this week.

Amazon has a bunch of CAT Tq pouches for sale. I think mine's an ATG.

what dump pouches do you guys recommend if I wanted to go away from the one I have that eats up so much belt space? Mine is the CSM which gets great reviews.

As much as I dislike the guy, T-Rex Arms makes the best dump pouch I've used so far.

I'm  going to keep the CSM dump pouch and figure out how to add the TQ holder. Ideally next to the IFAK or above the dump pouch.

Thanks man, i'm going back and forth on swapping out the STOMP for the Micro TKN. I would need to lose the Israeli bandage though since I think it would be too much for the MTKN.

The STOMP is awesome, but sometimes I feel it's a bit much.

New belt set up, had some of these pouches lying around, a few of them are brand spanking new. I just swapped out my Defense Mechanisms dump pouch for a BFG ten speed dump pouch, saved a bit of space, probably not any weight. I recently jumped into the negative cant on my holster and am loving it.



Blue Alpha Gear belt
Defense Mechanisms pistol and rifle magazine pouches
Blue Force Gear dump pouch
Blue Force Gear micro trauma kit now
True North Concepts holster hanger with a T-rex arms Raptorcock or whatever they call it

Update for my belt. Picked up the QVO Secondary to replace the T-Rex Ragnarok. Not a fan of T-Rex at all. The QVO includes much better hardware, better retention, supper snappy.

So, as it sits:
SOE 1.75 D-Ring Cobra Belt, loop lined
Snake Eater Tactical Hypalon Liner Belt
Soileater CAT BMTH (Belt Mounted Tourniquet Holder)
True North Concepts MHA (Modular Holster Adapter) set as low as it goes
Safariland QLS attachment system
QVO Secondary Holster
Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit (slightly modified internals)
Blue Force Gear Micro Dump Pouch
Esstac KYWI Shorty 2+1
Gunning With Scicssors Glove Clip

I think that's it. Keeping it minimal.

Vickers tactical. They’re good for the war belt but for CCW they add unnecessary bulk.

A condor belt

Safariland 6365, ALS/SLS, Level 3 Retention Duty Holster (which is the bulkiest damn holster I have ever used, but I like it so far)

I have a NA rescue M-Fac kit but im not sure where im going to put it yet. I want to be able to sit down without stuff in the small of my back. I also want to learn how to use the stuff in the kit before I put it on there. Hopefully another VPC event will happen soon that I can attend.
I have a condor dump pouch in my shopping cart for my next amazon order and I want to get a flashlight pouch as well.
I need to get a light for my P229.

I appreciate all the posts. It's hard to really discern the differences between belts because they all look so similar. Currently I have one of the bigger VTAC padded belts but I'm looking for something smaller and more modern. Maybe an inner outer combo. I run kywis, tacos, trex dump, and safariland holster. I'm about 40 lb lighter from when I got my original belt so I really have to be careful about sizing. I wish these were more commonplace and the average store where you could go try on belts to get an idea of what you really want to buy

There's a lot of choices. What I will caution is to make sure your inner,  outer system is compatible.

I bought a BAE Systems Assault belt as my first because it's highly adjustable, inexpensive, and sizing scared me after reading a ton of buyer reviews on the inner and outer belt setups.

After adjusting the BAE fit to my liking, the sizing is all figured out if I want to upgrade. It's working very well for what I want in a belt so no reason to change at this time.

Dumb question but I've been searching all over for answer..

I purchased a Gadsen Dynamics battle belt to set up for "bump in the night" issues and pair with my nightstand gun (I'm setting up another inner/outer belt system for range/etc) - my issue is the belt it so tall I can't route it through my Safariland midride drop - I see you have a similar setup, what did you do? Some sort of malice clips or similar to attach to the molle?

I should have worded it better - I have a separate battle belt that has an inner/outer, but the Gadsen Dynamics holster is the one-piece design so I can throw it on while naked in PJs. Hopefully this image works:



There is no way to route the holster's belt loops through. Although now that I found that image, I also found this drop leg molle adapter kit - https://www.gadsdendynamics.com/products/molle-belt-drop-leg-adapter - but I'm looking to use a Safariland Mid Ride not a leg drop...

Pull it off the inner and wear it over the outer garment. Or get a slim padded inner for wearing over clothing for folks that have a hook lined outer belt.

That seems to be an issue with a lot of outer belts. The narrow range of adjustment.

Real answer;   throw a coat on and figure out how to make it work.  Not everything requires a different piece of gear.  Train with what you have and adapt to make it work

Any other ideas? I’ve been doing more research and only possible fix I’ve found is to go for a drop-leg style. As this is intended for “bump in the night” style I wasn’t looking for a leg loop etc setup.

I would be using a Safariland ALS/SLS holster but would prefer a slight drop-down in ride height.
