I commend you sir, for having the forethought to maintain a vigilant watch over your retirement plan by carrying with you into battle. So this could very well be consided a combination war belt / money belt...awesome.

HSGI sure grip belt HSGI cobra riggers belt HSGI double mag drop leg TAG utility pouch Emdom dump pouch So far I'm really liking the belt! I put a full load in the drop leg and it's obviously not great for running but it works well for low speed movements. I probably will just run 3-4 mags in the drop leg most of the time plus my knife and pistol mag if I feel like extra, but I do like having the option of loading heavy on ammo. |

Get rid of the buckle on the drop leg and raise the platform up higher. The higher you get it the easier it will be to run with. |

I still need to get my very old, old, pistol belt out from back in the day....
Here's is my "Half'er". This is setup to support my non AR rigs like shotgun, pistol carbine, bolt gun, etc. (gear from l-r) Diamondback Tactical Battlelab war belt I think the suspenders are from DBT as well Emdom 6o4 Pistol mag pouch (with 4 glock mags) 5.11 Large Drop Pouch Emdom Baby Utili-Shingle Pocket GEMTECH TRL Blade-Tech TMMS receiver plate 
Full 1st line belt for pistol and 556 guns. I just started this one up so it's still missing a few items such as medical kit, fixed blade, etc that are on typical 1st line setups. (gear from l-r) VooDoo Tactical Snipers padded belt FastMag Gen 3 molle x2 FastMag Pistol molle x4 Tactical Tailor Fight Light Roll-Up Dump Bag GEMTECH TRL Blade-Tech TMMS receiver plate

I was eyeing up the SOTechs, is that much belt/web a bit much or are you digging it? Had no idea SOTech made one. I checked and it does seem similar. The VooDoo belt has internal D rings in the hips for securing drop downs, bigger drag handle, and comes with suspenders though. I like the extra space especially for the Blade-Tech TMMS plate and the FastMags. I think I do need to pickup a inner velcro belt to help with mounting but it pretty solid so far. I am probably going to take a look at swapping out the buckle assembly at some point, but for now it's holing up just fine. |

I don’t view it as a bare-bones “get back to the chopper” setup, I view my first line as my load-bearing equipment. I don’t put pouches on my chest, and I don’t do droplegs. Crye Blast Belt, size Large, with IIIa insert Level IIIa Pelvic Armor (Kevlar diaper, let’s be real here) 2x Rifle TACO 3x Pistol TACO 1x HSGI Smoke Pouch Surplus double AR mag pouch turned into a BOK Kydex holster Kydex knife sheath Two primary mags (2x30rds. 5.45x39mm) Two secondary mags (2x20rds. 9x19mm) Surefire G2X LED with clicky tail thingy M18 smoke Beretta Px4G 9mm CRKT First Strike Modified SOG Hawk Haven’t weighed it, but it’s pretty respectable. My hips bear the weight easily and it doesn’t move an inch up or down, even when diving prone or ripping mags out. I used a small piece of hook velcro on each of the ‘74 mags to keep them retained a bit better in the TACOs. |

http://imageshack.us/a/img607/2170/battlebelt2.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img849/3509/battlebelt1.jpg Ok this is my first attempt to set-up a battle belt: It is an HSGI SGPB There are two of the newest iteration of the TACO, eac one carry 2 AR-15 mag and a pistol mag and I am thinking to add a third.. but I am a bit concerned of the total weight (that will means 180 223Rem rds and 39 45ACP rds.. not a light load!!) On the opposite side there is a LFI custom kydex holster for my Glock 21 with surefire X400 on the back there is a TT horizontal E&E pouch in front of the holster there is a TYR Tactical MUT II pouch Since I have taken those pics I have added: LFI custom made kydex sheath with ESEE 5 with custom handle (made by The knife connection) TYR Tactical Radio pouch I have filled the E&E pouches with the content of two ESEE survival kit (one is the wallet E&E kit and the other is the Advanced Survival/E&E kit) I have ordered, in the last week, the following items that will go on the belt: TYR Tactical Medium 4"X6" GP pouch TYR Tactical Hydrtion Mesh pouch TYR Tactical Medical Pouch - Intermediate Lower Back HSGI Single Smoke pouch (it will be used to carry a Vortex Optic monocular) HSGI Pistol Taco (will be used to carry a Surefire PX2 Fury) Please feel free to comment, suggest, cricticize(sp) my setup since I am a total noob. Also I am in the proces of purchasing a Kifaru Tailgunner II any one has experience in using it with a battlebelt? Ciao Cris EDIT: btw as you can see I have my Glock and my MR223 in the pics! :-) love them |

I'm totally new to the whole war belt idea and am looking at getting into one now that I've just about ordered all of my chest rig items.
I'm looking at buying a Safariland 3280 and was wondering how to best attach it to a HSGI sure grip if I go that route. It looks like some belt have slits at the bottom so I could attach it to the inner belt and then place the rest of my pouches on the molle or would the have holster have to attach to the molle? Also, if anyone has pictures of any war belt with this holster or one similar to it, it would be much appreciated if you posted them. Thanks and sorry for the stupid question. I'm new to the gear stuff. |

Exactly like you said, the holster gets attached to the inner belt.

I'd be awful nervous to carry in a holster that allows the trigger to be pulled while the gun is in the holster. |

As I mentioned at the top, the front pouches really don't interfere at all if I lie prone, happily surprised about that HSGI states that the medium belt is 35.5" so how did this not fit you like you wanted? I'm curious because I have the same waist measurements as you and want the same fit as your picture above. I just ordered mine, maybe I should give them a call... |

Both the MD and LG will fit your waist. If you want the warbelt itself (NOT the inner belt) to "touch" like SoulMan's, go with the large. If you don't mind that "gap" between the ends of the warbelt, like most warbelt setups are, go with the MD. It's more of an aesthetic thing. You have to determine the "look" you want - both will fit. |

It's more of an aesthetic thing. You have to determine the "look" you want - both will fit. This is the reason I went with a Large blast belt - Medium fits me fine, but I felt that having a gap in the front of an armored belt was counterproductive. |

Ordered it mainly for the RTI qucik release (got another hanger to put on my BladeTech Mk23 holster so I could change if I want, the magazine tacos work with both mags) but am very happy with the function. The button to release the retention strap is slick and super intuitive. Looking now at the HSGI pics of the dump pouch, they mount it outside of two rifle tacos. I'm going to do this, that would allow me to move the mag tacos (pistol and rifle) back one or two MOLLE loops, so I am going to change the setup a little in the near future. As I mentioned at the top, the front pouches really don't interfere at all if I lie prone, happily surprised about that HSGI states that the medium belt is 35.5" so how did this not fit you like you wanted? I'm curious because I have the same waist measurements as you and want the same fit as your picture above. I just ordered mine, maybe I should give them a call... Not sure why it seemsed small. HERE is a thread where I have some pics of me with both the belts on. Very happy with the Large, glad I traded it in. |

I'd be awful nervous to carry in a holster that allows the trigger to be pulled while the gun is in the holster. I noticed the same thing, chose to keep my mouth shut though. Figured there was a damn good reason. +1 that looked unsafe to me but I'm no expert.... |

I guess i'll drink a few more beers to get the large to fit perfect

Correct me if I'm wrong but the blackhawk belts don't have loops to keep your stuff from sliding around. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but the blackhawk belts don't have loops to keep your stuff from sliding around. This is the first time I've seen the Emdom belt, and you're right that the blackhawk belt does not have loops, but it does have velcro on the inside which enables me to make sure things stay where they should. I also make most of my attachment hardware myself and make it to fit the belt perfectly snugly. Loose enough to get on the belt, but not loose enought to move around when I'm wearing it. I do appreciate the heads up though.  |

Although the BOK is a little far back. |
