I have the same Safariland leg shroud. I would have never thought of mounting my multi-tool to the leg strap. That's brilliant! What a great way to free up space on your belt.

They came with the sheath, which came with the knife. The Sheath was made for Strider by Bladetech, so they probably have the hardware available. The holes in the sheath were designed to fit the two holes in the Safariland shroud, but I ended up drilling my own holes so I could cant the knife handle away from the holster. Otherwise, the rotating hood would interfere. |

I just ordered my first war belt from Blackstone Tactical. They called me an hour later and make sure things were correct.
Good Service! |

What a great thread.!
Excuse the NEWB question, but why the knock on black gear? I started a thread HERE looking into color ideas. Any and all help you guys can offer would be great! |

Because black doesn't blend with anything, in fact it sticks out in most areas. I saw your thread, go with what color best matches your surroundings. Having never been to NY I can only guess that woodland, mulitcam, ranger green and OD would work well. |

just becasue you can shoot well does not mean you will fight well when the time comes. Get trained!

I'm no expert but black can still stick out at night if the surronding area is light in color. |

Camo is more about breaking up a silloutte then it is about wearing colors that match your locale. All black makes a very prominant silloutte. Color is important, just not the only thing to think about.

Black is usually chosen because people feel it is an intimidating color (SWAT), it does not look military, or incorrectly assume it blends into non-rural/urban environments. |

In total darkness, it doesn't matter what you wear. You could wear day-glo pink, and if there is no light, you still can't see it. In the real world, total darkness is exceedingly rare. (caves, and some interior rooms) so what we really need to look at is low-light conditions. In low-Light conditions, everything but black will reflect some light. If you wear black... you will stand out as the "darker than everything-else" blob. If you are wearing a camo that blends well during the day, it will blend just as well at night. It will still reflect the same amount of light as the surrounding environment, whereas black will not.

Thank you very much guys. I really never thought of it that way.
It really makes sense when you explain it that way. I know it was always shunned here when we see SWAT with i, but I have also seen SWAT shunned for wearing Digi Cam etc. I think OD is really the way for me. Something in the green line broken up a little. I really like those ATS belts. I think that is what I will get. Hoopefully you will see more of me in here. |

Anyone used the battlelab assaulters belt from Diamondback Tactical? Looks like the inner belt comes with the outer sleeve. Price is comparible to the ATS warbelt.

Saw some DBT pouches lurking around, but couldn't find a belt. Looks good for the price, but can't tell if it can be setup to handle subloads off the inner belt.

Iirc, someone in this thread had that discussion with DBT, and was told the belt was not stiff like a duty belt. I want to say it's single layer webbing, but don't take my word for it.

Found it on page 3, but it was about the ATS warbelt.

I find that a sloppy belt reduces the stability of my belt-drop holster, and makes draws less positive. As well, I prefer the stiffness of the heavier belt, just as I preferred it when I previously ran a CR Speed IPSC belt as my 1st Line when I was in Group. To me, there is no advantage to having a belt with little stiffness, and only disadvantages. YMMV. FWIW, when I ordered my ATS war belt, the lady taking my order - after our lengthy discussion - told me not to buy their inner belt; it wouldn't be stiff enough. |

Yes, the inner belt comes with the outer sleeve. It is sewn onto the sleeve. I really didn't care for the "belt", it was too thin, and it just didn't feel stiff enough to support the weight of the belt, pouches, accessories etc. I cut the "belt" off, and slid in an Eagle Duty belt. This setup feels like it supports the weight much better. Also, there is no cut out to carry a subload. |

I picked up an ATS Warbelt and Blackhawk Enhanced Military Belt and cannot keep the belt in position around my hips without it wanting to ride up as soon as I bend over slightly. The belt wants to pop up over my ass and ends up loose around my navel, above my hip bones. I'm in shape and don't have a gut to hang over the belt and keep it down. I was considering getting a drop leg holster to keep it down (6004 single-strap). Anybody else have this problem and how do you fix it without using a drop-leg holster?

I was just trying it on and adjusting the belt to fit and I noticed it riding up bigtime. |

I added a leg strap to the Knife sheath for better stability (couldn't always draw the knife without it) I keep a bunch of loose shotshells in the Maxpedition pouch. I tried to keep it prone & vehicle friendly. Prone works fine but I don't fit in all vehicles with it. Whats up with the inverted FastMag? |

When I'm prone my right hand (strong hand) comes off the pistol grip and my wrist can stay in the same position as I shove the mag up into the carbine. It seems to work for me. It's also compatible if I'm wearing a plate carrier. The FastMag on the LH side gets emptied if I'm wearing a plate carrier. I'm still trying things and making changes. It never really ends I guess. |

Prone works fine but I don't fit in all vehicles with it. That Fastmag is messed up. I understand the reasoning for it to be inverted as Shaken does it, but your positioning just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Why are you carrying the weight of the shot shells? Is this a 3-gun rig? Is so, then it makes sense. If not, you'd be better off grabbing some when you grab the shotgun rather than have them all the time. |

Have you encountered an iossue with the inverted carrier hampering your draw when you transition to the pistol? |

In what context are you using it for, Duty LE use, 3-gun/Practical Rifle, SHTF/Range drills?

I keep trying new setups with my war belt....but I think that it's one of those things that just won't work for me. I have tried playing around with where I have my armor sit and where I have my belt sitting but it always comes down to either my armor getting in the way of my belt or my belt in the way of my mobility....neither one is really acceptable.

When I set up my gear/rig I attempt to make sure that it's best for SHTF first and then I'll try it out in some competitions to test it out. I don't want to fall into the trap of making something up that's too game oriented. I'd rather lose seconds in a competition and know that my rig is a bit better suited for SHTF. If that makes any sense. |

The suspenders help support the weight and they ride under a plate carrier without any trouble. When transitioning the pistol is low enough and far enough out, away from my leg, that it hasn't been a problem. I think what may be confusing is that this isn't a 6004 modded to ride high, it's a bone stock 6005 and rides lower than a modded holster. It drops it enough to allow me the room I need to manipulate the mag with my strong hand. I keep my wrist close to the belt and the mag passes between the holster and my body.

Safariland states that it works with the Streamlight M3 and it works with both. I just checked a G19 with either light on it and it works fine. The Safariland part number is 6005-68321-551. |
