Stupid question, but I see quite a variety of holster attachments on the belts.
I have a comp tac intl holster for my m&p that I would prefer to use. Is there a combination of belts and a way to attach it you all would reccomend? I like the hsgi style the best, but dropping 400 bucks for an entire set up is a bit out of the price range right now. |

Just shop around. You can build a quality belt for 250 or so. That's what I have in mine. As far as your holster you can get kydex holsters for as little as 45 bucks. If they only have belt loops you can buy malice clips and drill holes in them and run the hardware your old loops used to secure them to the clips.

$75 for whatever belt
$100 for 2 DD Tacos $100 for a COMPLETE kydex setup $50 for dump pouch, and whatever miscellaneous. $325ish. . Could shave some $ on a real basic belt, acheaper holster, and basic kydex mag holders. |

My belt I posted above was put together on the cheap, using any deals I could find. It's not top of line, but it gets the job done.
Eagle Industries belt - $8 Taco double decker - $40 TT single mag pouch - $12 Safariland 6377 + molle adaptor - $48 IFAK - I had lying around, its just a ACU GP/Canteen pouch (can be had for $10, maybe cheaper on clearance somewhere) ~$120 + $20 S/H = $140 for a basic battle belt set up. |

I was saying you can run a setup with 99% top of the line materials for under 300 as opposed to 400 like he stated. If you shop around and wait on good deals like I did. Yes if you pay retail for a fully done up war belt it is going to be pricey but hey, same goes for plate carriers. 2 cheap ass pieces of AR500 and some chain will technically do the same job as a PIG w SAPI plates for a 1/10 of the cost
Its really about what you want your belt for. Of course if you want the perfect setup its gonna be pricey... For about 2 years I ran... No name 1.5 in belt - $10 maybe "Ghetto Tacos" that I made myself out of a Voodoo triple mag pouch and a Voodoo triple rifle mag pouch -$30 shipped Serpa Holster - $25 shipped Condor Dump Pouch - $15 shipped 2 California Competition Shot Shell Caddies - $30 shipped So $120 bucks for a full 3 gun setup that got the job done. Totally functional, but was not comfortable to wear even for a 4 hour match, items would slide around, and items were not modular. My new much more functional I use every time I go shooting belt, that's not just for cool internet picture belt HSGI Rigger Belt - $50 HSGI Suregrip - $50 2X HSGI DD Taco $84 1X HSGI Pistol Taco -$25 Condor Dump Pouch - $15 AAC Suppressor Pouch - $FREE Custom Holster - $70 2X California Competition Shot Shell Caddy - $30 So $324 for a fully done up 3 gun / war belt. That is easily 10X more comfortable, more durable, and more capable of multiple load outs. New setup is worth every dime! |

It gives good lumbar support seated in a vehicle. Also consider if you got hit and need to render self aid you can just unhook your belt, unlike armor you don't need belt emergency gear in rapid arms reach since it is easily removable. I changed it around based on your reccomendation it is significantly more comfortable my only concern at this point does anyone think I'm raising my risk for back injury by having the scissors vertical in line with my spine should I try to mount them horizontaly? |

The scissors fit inside the fatboy. Mines are in the pack of the fat pocket at an angle.

I have a shit ton of stuff in there, plus a TC3 flex book just in case I get shot and some cake eater doesn't remember how to treat a casualty Remember the FAK is for you, extra med shit should go in your backpack. |

If he could only carry two things it would be two tqs. If you have room I'd put in another tq. |

My TQs go on the belt/in a pocket/on a vest. Mine has x3 quick clot gauze Chest seal NPA/NCD X1 standard gauze X1 med ACE wrap X1 petroleum seal TC3 book Shears Gives you enough stuff to patch a few different types of holes. |
