Can you give a run down of components? I'm really interested in that pistol holster. Thanks.

I changed somethings on my belt.
Switched from the EGL loppy dump pouch to the Emdom I had on my PC. I changed the HSGI blowout pouch from a RG/SG to multicam. I added the suspenders. |

You guys who use the double decker Taco's for AR and pistol mags, how well do you like them? Does it ever seem difficult to grab the AR mag? Or is the offset enough?
I am in the process of setting mine up, have plans for my M&P w/TLR-1s, 2-3 pistol mags, Surefire light, multi-tool, dump pouch, IFAK, and probably 2 AR mags. Just trying to maximize space but not render something difficult to get just for space considerations. |

I used to have double-deckers on my belt and PC, but I hated the thickness. Single-layer deep is the way to go for me.

They are offest enough for me to get my hand in there. I like to get my thumb webbing down on the inside of the mag with my pointer finger riding straight down the pouch. Then push the mag away from my body and draw out. My pointer finger then runs along the edge of the mag sorta guiding as I load. I know, I know, CSB |

Granted I just mounted a pistol taco to the rifle taco on the belt. I can grab my rifle mag without the pistol mag interfering. It might be a problem if you got extended pistol mags. |

HSGI Taco Single Pistol pouch 2x. G-Code OSH Holster (Glock 19) Maxpidition Mini Dump Pouch. Un-Decided bleeder kit. Please Critique! Thanks. |

~Augee I have a three mag molle panel that could fit behind the double decker tacos on the chest, am still debating it though. If I just put on the belt I am still short some rifle mags huh

You'll see real quick. As I said in a previous post, the left leg rig is not normally attached to this belt. I have done some Hiking and sprinting with this rig and never particularly noticed the weight. The sure grip belt doesnt move at all. and the chest rig only has about 4-5 pounds worth of mags in it. |

Maxpidition Mini Dump Pouch. personally don't like them, I use the emdom. More rigid mouth. That said, with a medium belt, you'll be hurting for room to mount it Un-Decided bleeder kit. HSGI bleeder. I have 3 and love them. You should not be carrying a midget sized medic on your belt. Just the basics if you get a GSW. KISS. Again, tight to your body Food for thought, some guys like to carry fixed blades on their belts. Totally not necessary but I like it. What about a flashlight or multitool? Please Critique! Thanks. you're very welcome Your thinking about a HE?

It's not just the weight, you've got the holster and the drop leg rig slung pretty low.

the holster is as high as it can go while still enabling use of the thigh strap. the drop leg rig is very low however.

I have said several times now that the costa leg rig does not usually reside on the padded belt. when it is on my regular belt it rides high. I like where the pistol holster sits with the drop. It rides just under the rifle mag tacos. since I use my right hand for rifle reloads and therefore have those mags on the right, i use the drop. If I was going to run a regular on the belt holster I would have to move rifle mags to somewhere not as easily accessed. |

I doubt you did much "sprinting" with a drop leg, because they flop back and forth like crazy. They also like to rip your pants while you are getting in and out of vehicles. I wore a very similar drop leg rig on my last deployment (HSGI), not because I wanted to, but because I had to in order to have access to some demo items I needed available. I wore it for almost a year and hated every minute of it. It seems like a great idea until you try to climb a wall, or low crawl, or run faster than a trot. I was so happy when I became the senior guy on my team and didn't have to wear that fucking thing anymore. |

I didnt say I competed in the olympics wearing the damn thing. Just some sprinting. Whatever flop there was didnt bother me. I havent had a whole lot of experience with entering and exiting vehicles with this stuff yet, so I will just have to make adjustments as I go. This isnt gear that I wear everyday, I own these thngs for shtf/training/3-gun competitions. I am just getting started, so I will have to make modifications to what I use and how its worn as I learn. |

Sure, any gear moves, but gear strapped to your thigh moves a LOT while jogging, much less sprinting. Sprinting is basically defined as running as fast as you can for a short distance, which is pretty much not possible while wearing a thigh rig, unless the fastest you can go is really, really, slow. Believe me, I know the difference between jogging and sprinting with a thigh rig, because when shit started exploding and bullets started flying I damn sure wished I could sprint. |

I am left eye dominant, and can just barely use a red dot with my right eye. irons are hopeless. So I have to be ambidextrous with my trigger fingers. when I am just using the costa leg rig I wear it on my right leg as well. I have a bravo concealment kydex holster that allows the leg rig to ride quite high when I dont want to use the chest rig. |

I wore a drop leg because I had to, but even then I wore it super high. Drop legs suck, belts are ok for light loadouts. But otherwise I try not to cram shit in every available slot just because its there. |

I doubt you did much "sprinting" with a drop leg, because they flop back and forth like crazy. They also like to rip your pants while you are getting in and out of vehicles. I wore a very similar drop leg rig on my last deployment (HSGI), not because I wanted to, but because I had to in order to have access to some demo items I needed available. I wore it for almost a year and hated every minute of it. It seems like a great idea until you try to climb a wall, or low crawl, or run faster than a trot. I was so happy when I became the senior guy on my team and didn't have to wear that fucking thing anymore. I'm of the opinion that thigh rigs of any kind suck balls, but then again, so do heavy ass belts... Agreed. I ran all my kit on a vest or LBE with the exceptioin of LE work. I wore a drop leg because I had to, but even then I wore it super high. Drop legs suck, belts are ok for light loadouts. But otherwise I try not to cram shit in every available slot just because its there. Yep. I like a belt for things like an ifak and a dump pouch and maybe a GP pouch for snacks or NVGs or whatever. Having something like, say, 18 40mm rounds on a belt starts to suck. FAST. |

Although the BOK is a little far back. Just bumping this, I got side tracked a few days on a motorcycle forum, they are bigger gear nerds than we are! Stoner I have not, but in the back of my mind is rebuilding my "war" belt. I'm deffinatly going to look at a double set of ar+1 pistol mag belt set up. I am in a huge less is more faze and have been yanking things off all my gear; both gun, and hiking/adventure riding. Next belt set up will be: 2x pistol/ar taco, roll dump pouch, holster and knife. |

Directly mounted to the belt is impossible to draw while wearing a PC |
