Got my belt together and new pics taken, with the right MOLLE attachment and everything. Eventually I'll be moving IFAK pouches to something better, but this does the job for now:
 HSGI Suregrip HSGI Cobra HSGI pistol Taco HSGI Double decker Taco TT Rollup dump pouch Mini IFAK pouch Leatherman MUT pouch Springfield XDm 3.8 |

Tag for my BFG belt and Velocity Systems armor inserts. Bad pic, sorry. Esstac mag pouches for pistol and rifle. I need to get a new attachment for the pistol pouches, the molle stix don't work on this belt. I also need to get a medical pouch for the back, my current is better suited for my plate carrier.

My 14 year old son and 17 year old daughter both use one of these for their M&P .22's. It is a little loose on my son all the way drawn up but he may be about your size. Ill get an actual messurement tonight or in the morning and get a pick for you on him. I dont hink the MOLLE is actually 28" . I could be wrong though. cp Edited to add: This belt also has a channel all the way through the Belt like any other BB on the market. in a pinch and as an alternative, you may be able to tuck the straps inside and run a "G" hook or fastex type buckle on the MOLLE channels and if necesssary overlap the belt. or HAve someone Mod this one to make it smaller, I mean hell look at the price, how can you go wrong? cp |

My setup for a Pistol gun fighting class in January, my Safariland 6378 w light is getting hydro dipped just like this 6390. Still unsure if I'm gonna carry my P3x EAG like its setup now. I wear 38"-40" pants depending on brand. Hsgi suregrip is size XL, The edges of battle belt touch a little bit in the front. I bought a 2xl cobra belt and it's a lil too big but I'm making it work. I'm glad I got Xl suregrip bc of mags being in 10-11 o clock position. Xl HSGI Suregrip 2Xl HSGI cobra belt multicam 5 HSGI pistol tacos EGL loppy dump pouch 2 Safariland 6390 for G19, 23 (6378 w light getting dipped 4-5 mags P3X EAG |

YMMV. I used to run a duty belt for work (had to on gate watch on base), super stiff belt with belt loops will hold all kinds of gear, provided it fits correctly. Which I cannot put enough emphasis on, for a while i did not run my own and had to use the ship's never fit right and would destroy my hips. I will suggest suspenders if your a bony guy, like myself keeps some of the weight from grinding your bones. But I have no actual complaints against it, not my first choice I would prefer a padded war belt but I like to be comfortable. 2&2 mags and a handgun should be nothing, I would recommend grabbing a IFAK for it as well; you should never go without. The HSGI Double Decker Tacos (belt attach) work great for this set up. Just my 2 cents. But I've been running around with one for ~6yrs. |

Mox,
Have you looked at volund gearworks micro battle belt? The price will make you s*** a brick at first, but that's what I saved up for and it's awesome. Get it with their ghook liner belt and its gold. |

Question: can anyone speak to the advantages or disadvantages of a gap of about 6 inches in front (outer belt).
Just got the HSGI belt, but I can't decide if I want to go up a size and close the gap. Thoughts? |

The space makes it much more comfortable while sitting, and I'm not tempted to cram stuff on to my belt. I've got my OC, Glock 17, spare cuffs, and mags. Pretty streamlined compared to most of the guys here. I try not to keep any more on the back than I have to. |

Get it with their g-hook liner belt and its gold. Looks good, thanks for the link! They're sold out though, and can't get sizing online. How small do they get? Sizes for the micro battle belt are essentially custom. They have directions at the bottom of the page, but basically you measure over the belt you will be wearing it over and add about 4". If you plan on getting their g-hook liner belt (recommended) then just get the small. It's listed as size 28-32, but keep in mind that this is the measurement over your pants, not your actual waist. Also, don't let the "out of stock" on an item discourage you. This is a build to order shop and they list things as out of stock to keep lead times down and to retool their machines. Just check on it every few days until its back in stock. Oh and the $85.00 price is the starting price. With options it goes up, ie mine is in multicam with hook lining and its the micro battle as opposed to the duty belt, total was $125 for that belt |

How much do you have in you Belt?
Out of all the belts combos I have owned this one is no better or worse than the higher dollar rigs. Sure there are +'s and -'s sure, but you cannot beat the prices here as a base rig. My M9 rig I use for Duty both Training and in Competitions mirrors this belt. Come on what'ya Got?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/eaglecp/DSCN0118_zpse1183077.jpg cp Is the belt rigid enough not to sag? All of the cheap belts I've used have sagged. It carries just as well as any of the more $$ belts with the weight I have on it. The Belt also has a hollow path all the way through it that, if needed, a more rigid belt could be run if your intention is to carry more weight. The only limiting factor for some people I see, is the use of some holsters that mount directly to an inner belt. In that case a small mod would be needed. Splitting a seem on bottom of belt and having it tacked on both sides would allow for a drop type platform to be attached directly to the inner belt. Again for $16 a lot can be done and you can spend your money on more important things..... Like Ammo.

cp The jury is still out for me on the Serpa. I bought it because it was so cheap. My intentions were to put it in the arm rest in my car and it may still end up there if I don't like it on the belt. Would love a G-code. But gotta get the funds together for that. |

I've posted this belt before, but I made a couple changes. I got rid of the bulky HSGI pouch that I had carrying needless stuff, and I ditched the drop leg holster when I found a place that could make a kydex holster for my FNP-45. |

I like simple
Glock 19 with X300 Ultra, Safariland 6378, Tactical Tailor double mag pouch I bought for $15 at in their store on clearance, and a Specter gear belt that is now on the verge of being too big for me. Only changes I may make is to put the 6378 onto a 6072 belt adapter with a t spacer or two and a Safariland 77 mag carrier in FDE. Once I'm ready to get a new belt I'd like to find one with an all Velcro closure so I can adjust it on the fly for different clothing and layers. |

I have a silly question for you guys... right now I have an HSGI war belt, but I'm thinking about getting something a little lower profile. Does anyone make a velcro war belt that can be used with OR without an inner belt? Maybe with padding that can be velcro'd on to use like the HSGI belt, and the padding removed for use with a velcro inner belt?

Take a look at HSGI's new SureGrip lineup. They've got a belt pad coming out that adheres to the back of 1.75-2" belts that might be just what you're looking for.

Pic thread: http://s12.postimg.org/pes6io0u5/20150117_173121.jpg My thoughts, take those two pistol tacos and put them on top of the rifle tacos. Scoot them up a row or two and move everything from the dump pouch over the same. Tremendously easier to get things in the dump pouch when needed. Just my .02s |
