Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Vaquero: Been using a LAB belt for a year +. I don’t have the molle panels; I just use one wrap to attach pouches. I like it, especially for the price. I had an Esstac belt that I gave to a friend that needed a belt. It was fine, but the AWS seems a little bit stiffer. The inner belt is also stiff. I’m using a Wilder 1.5” inner belt with a cute little cobra buckle. Sizing is definitely based on pants size. I am a 34 and went with a large first, ignoring their advice. It was too big. Medium is just fine. If you need molle, the SMU belt looks good. They have sales on those often. Thanks everyone. I was looking at the SMU belt…. It was around $125 with the inner belt before Christmas and I hesitated on pulling the trigger. Hopefully they go on sale again soon. If not, I’ll have to pay full price! |

Got some time to screw around with this new QVO Secondary holster and mount everything up. As excited as I was to try QLS, I just can’t get down with it. That small 1/2” or so of additional offset just makes everything feel so unnatural. I hate it a lot. I removed the plate and fork and hard mounted it. Had to play with a lot of hardware to allow that leg strap to still pivot without the QLS plate.

Did the Blue Force Gear MTKN IFAK used to come with a black cross? Or have some of you guys covered up the neon blue?
2nd question, anyone have wolf gray pouches on a coyote belt? Thoughts? I can't decide what to do on my belt and PC. The surroundings here are all gray, brown, and tan in the winter. SE TN. But, camo is camo... I considered getting wolf gray and rit dying some browns on it. |

Tried the Safariland plastic and wasn't impressed. Another option, if you think you need or want to modify the True North adapter; you can get a chinazon knockoff for less than 1/8" or 3/16" aluminum 6061 barstock. That's the route I went when I adapted my Tacsol .22 Buckmark holster to QLS. |
