Following our “How to Setup your Body Armor” video, we received a lot of questions about my War Belt and also some requests that we do a separate video covering my War Belt. Ask, and you will receive!
The war belt in the video is made by ATS: atstacticalgear...
So, this week’s video covers how to set up your Duty Belt, currently called a “War Belt.” Assaulters have been running gun belts or duty belts for decades. These usually included just a pistol holster, spare pistol magazines and maybe a dump pouch.
Fast forward, and the current trend is to move commonly used kit from your Body Armor to your Duty Belt. This does two things. First, it helps take a lot of weight off of your shoulders (where your Body Armor rides), and transfers it to your pelvic girdle. This helps cut down on a lot of the pain of being in Body Armor all night long. 38 pounds of “lightweight” kit is still 38 pounds of “lightweight” kit. Any way I can help cut down on the pain, brother, I’m willing to try it.
Second, by running much of your commonly used kit on your duty belt, you can still develop and maintain that “muscle memory”, even when you’re not wearing full “battle-rattle” on the range. Whether you are just running a quick class or burning up a half hour on the range prior to the ops briefing, you can still shoot and reload from your support side, just like if you were in full kit. Also, while you are back inside the wire, and your armor is grounded in the ready room, you can still walk around the FOB with your duty belt and rifle. You aren’t expecting to get into a gunfight, but if it happened, you still have at least some ammo and medical gear. That’s better than nothing.
Setting up your War Belt is just like setting up your Armor; keep it simple and carry a minimum amount of gear. (Pistol / Ammo / Med / Special Equipment) Do you need to carry flash bangs? Probably not. I carry a few because I often use them in classes with students out at T1G.

This is why a have a tactical caddy. He carries all my stuff and I just wear flipflops and shorts.
Billy Burd if i could only get some free flip flops so I could do a shameless plug for them... ;)
I also have a tactical daddy

My caddie is a Vegas Stripper and she carries a kilo of blow. She be Dangerous as Hell but a damn fine time.
I hope those flip flops double as body armor! And, Does your Hawaiian shirt look like a salad too?
For anyone asking. The holster is an ALS series. Made by SAFARILAND
Came to the comments to say that. Couldn’t figure out what the second brand he was pooping on was tho.
@@WilliamWonka blackhawk serpa. Worst holsters in the industry. Have actually gotten multiple people killed.
@@WilliamWonka second brand was Blackhawk’s serpa holsters. Someone there thought it would be a good idea to put the release button/tab right over where the trigger is.
Do we know the model
I swear this video and the instructor in the video are great. Yes, I am sure many of us already know some of this information but you never know what information, big or small, you will come across to. Seriously, the information given is quality information that educates well-round different people. I like the point made about how your war belt and body armor need to complement each other. I am sure that goes without saying from law enforcement officers to military specs. We all have worked with that 10 percent, you ask yourself, "how in the hell did they make it here."
Thanks for watching, TR
You guys have great stuff! In 1987-1991 when I was in the Marines I had Vietnam era Allis Web belt, suspenders with shoulder pads. Rook sack in back. My M-12 NYLON flap holster for my Colt 1911A1. My M-12 mag pouch. My 2 M-67 M -14 mag pouches. 2 M-67 plastic canteens. My K-Bar, SOG SOCOM SEAL KNIFE. BOONIE HAT. WE HAD M 70 FLACK JACKETS! I WORE MY GILLY SUITE. GREAT VIDEO TAKES ME BACK 33 YEARS! SEMPER FI ARMY!
Thanks for watching, and thank you for your service. TR
Love your videos, and thanks for your service.
I have a severe scoliosis and for that reason getting as much weight off my back as possible is very important to me. Furthermore, standing at only 5'4" tall with a short torso even for someone of my height, chest rigs, plate carriers or tactical vests hang real low on me; so low in fact that I can't wear a tactical belt with any of those. Those are two reasons I avoid wearing anything over my shoulders whenever possible. Currently, I have two cummerbunds set up with as much as 6 M-4 mags, a pistol holster, 2 spare pistol mag pouches, a white light, an external tourniquet holder with shears, a knife and a full rip away IFAK with an extra tourniquet inside. I also have a separate water bladder pouch I can throw over my shoulders if needed. The bladder pouch also has room for 4 extra M-4 mags for a total of 10 as well as room for coms. Once I throw a rifle over my shoulder, that's about all the weight my back can handle for any length of time. All this to say that one can carry a surprising amount of gear on a single cummerbund or belt.
have I stressed how much I LOVE this channel . every video I watch I am amazed at the similarities between your rigs and mine . the location of items is uncanny .right down to the rubber bands on the cats ... probably just because that's what works . I have started adding a cat to my rifle stock on the off side for buddy aid . that way I don't have to put down my weapon system for to long while administering aid . I would say I agree on about 95% of the thing you review in your vids . this is an extremely high number as I usually trust no one but experience .. in short you rock . keep up the great work . and help to educate the sheeple of our glorious nation . THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE .
I've watched many videos on war belt set ups and your video is the only one that talls about the belt alongside the rig. The way my belt is set up is almost how yours is set up to complement my rig. I learned alot of good stuff when it comes to setting up a rig when I was in the marines I was in 3rd recon bn and 2nd MARSOC so I learned alot of great information like the information you show here
Any idea which belt is inside the sleeve after 0:50? I was a rigger and I dealt with jump/pilot gear and mission specific gear for an eod attachment we had with us. I learned alot of non traditional stuff and im also trying to build out a nice civilian Backcountry setup for when I leave commifornia next month

@@mrdrprof99 mine died in October. I miss him
One tip that I was given for war belts is for your rifle mags, keep the area on your vest above that mags location clear, reason being if you need to do an emergency reload and your in an awkward position, you have nothing obstructing you from easily grabbing that mag. BUT then again, personal preference.

I run the same belt. not only does ATS make some outstanding gear, but you really should have mentioned the excellent price point too.
Daniel Crowley Sr ats all the way!
Good video. But I don't care if the firearm is unloaded... I haven't been shot through my screen yet. 😜 your thoughts on keeping body armor and kit carrier separate? I.e. Plate armor, then wearing the kit on something carried by h-harness?
Slow down there internet cowboy, stop using logic and being so reasonable. This is the internet you know.. :)
Adam M ahahaha 😜
Yeah, that stuff always cracks me up as well. The only thing I can think of as to why a professional does that on a video is to impart good habits onto those who don't handle firearms professionally.
There's a first time for everything 😀😀😀😀😀
I did have my plate carrier and kit carrier separate when I was training up for Afghanistan in 2009 with my unit B. Co. 1-187th In., and it worked good for a while. However, once I was in Afghanistan and my position in the squad had changed; from Grenadier to M240 gunner, putting on my kit over top of my body armor started to become a pain. In addition to that, later in 2010, when we were down in Kandahar as opposed to Paktika, putting on my kit over my armor became more of a pain as I was carrying 200rds on my M249, 2 - 200rd drums on my kit, and 2 - 100rd "nutsacks" on my kit, and a 100oz water bladder. Given that, to me, it was a gigantic pain in my ass. Other shooters though my have better experiences with their gear. My squad leader at the time arranged his gear on his armor and got it to where it was very well balanced; as I had put it on to go on a quick escort mission for my Plt. Sgt.
Got a cheap ($15-$20) nylon/velcro leg holster that works just fine. Two options for securing sidearm inside the holster.
1. Button closure.
Just fine and dandy when you're in an area that is expected to be reletively safe, however it does provide a slight resistance when drawing the sidearm as you have to un-clasp the buttons, then draw.
2. Option 2 is velcro closure. Instead of buttons, a velcro strap secures your sidearm in the holster so even if you're running, jumping, doing a handstand, your sidearm is secure. And provides no resistance when drawing your sidearm, ya just yank it out, velcro releases, no problem. Works great. And with some good ol' ingenuity and maybe a little paracord, I'm sure you can easily transition the holster from leg to belt/molle very simply, if you want to.
Same here with my FNX 45 with light it works perfect
Thanks for the video, but where you fit the lanyard for helicopter operations?
Thank you for serving our country sir
Along the lines of taking as much weight off your shoulders as possible, I've got 3 rifle mags and 3 pistol mags as well as a tourniquet, IFAK, 6354 ALS on a midride QLS on my battle belt. That way I carry only the essentials on the plate carrier such as 4-5 rifle mags, another trauma kit, and a bag in the near future. Just because I'm not jumping out of helicopters or doing any of that cool stuff.
“ what this is it a belt” me: oh I didn’t know that
Ordered the war belt. And inner belt. With the corona stuff going on ill see it when i see it. I plan on using the ITW fast mag pouch for pistol and rifle mag. A dump pouch. My leatherman my safariland for glock 19 with light. Paid 10 bucks for it. And a IFAK. Not using too many frags and bangs these days.
Amen
I suggested to a company one time that made both war belts and plate carriers the idea of connecting the war belt to the plate carrier using a rigid attachment system which would transfer a lot of the weight of the plate carrier from the shoulders to the waist just like a good backpack with waist strap does.
you would lose alot of mobility that way...
Not really. It would work the same way as a the waist strap on a large backpack for hiking by supporting the weight on the hips.
Do you recommend some form of suspension for the war belt? I found mine would sometimes drift up or down with a lot of maneuvering. If I cinch it down too tight, it hampers motion. The suspenders I added are minimalist, so they tend not to get in the way. Like your thoughts on this. Thanks.
It varies by person, body type etc. I need suspenders with my battle belt. I bought British battle belt surplus suspenders with 9€ and use them with my HSGI rig. Wandering belt without those, starts to push my trousers down during the day which is very annoying.
Man, I know your question is three years old now but have you ever tried just regular belt keepers. They basically connect your personal belt to your duty belt. I have done both military and civilian law enforcement and I have had great success with them. I typically use a minimum of six keepers, eight if my gear placement allows it. I also prefer the velcro over the button type. I think they allow for a little more flex when bent over.
I watched this video so many times, and it's interesting every time
Thanks for watching, TR
All right! Another video!
Im no tier 1 operator or anything, but the one thing that was always pushed into my head from my time in was lighting. Having a weapon light is great, but carry a backup. Holsters for them are relatively inexpensive and dont take up alot of room on your belt. 1 is none, 2 is one. Just something to consider as well.
I agree 100%. I have a hand-held light in a holder on the front of my kit.
i have mine on my belt. ddint have a holder for me to put it on my vest. i just have a front and back plate cause my side wraps are too loose. kinda a skinny guy
Love the video, but can you do a video on different types of war belts and your recommended use(s) for each type
I've got that almost exact set up. Same brand ats and pouches I do have a serpa and it's never been a problem
Why do you carry the pistol on your belt and not in a leg holster?
Excellent question. I actually used to carry my pistol in a leg holster, just like back in the school house. However, fast forward to our 5th year of the Global War on Terror, and we changed many of our tactics. Instead of always landing right on the "X," we started doing more and more "5k Offsets." This allowed us to land the helo outside of Earshot, and then walk silently up into the target neighborhood with being detected. Wearing a Leg Holster wore my leg raw. If you don't believe me, go out and try doing a 12 mile road march with a leg holster on... You'll convert to a belt holster also. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Thank you Sir! Awesome video, you have shown me the light! Now I have a good idea and direction as for my battle/war belt. Thank you for your service!... nothing but love from a California Patriot‼💯🦅✝🇺🇸
Same here with the exact reason I like this video. The author, I will piggyback with this patriot.
I prefer the term, "WAR BELT!" OOOOORAAAH!!!
Red River Tactical makes a hella nice holster
That’s Safariland 6354DO Holster with an ALS locking system
Man, basically you have the equipment of 5 Bolivian soldiers
And thats why American SF folks can rock with the best of them and we only need a few to get 'er done!
Greatings from Brasil.
Excelent explanations
About to do some work in the sandbox and am rerouting my kit because you have yours set up to the tee.
Man this guy takes air soft to a different level.
Suspenders by tactical tailor were a life saver in iraq.
What safariland holster system do you use to attach your 6354do to your war belt? I love Carl's sense of humor. Boy have I learned a lot!
I run a ALS with an extension piece to lower it several inches. It then just attaches to the inner belt
awesome Vid...thanks for sharing. also, what do you keep in your blow out kit??
Nunya Biznaz , we cover Karl’s med kit in an upcoming video. So, stay tuned.
Nunya Biznaz the med kit on his belt was very compact. Wonder what brand it was...?
Excellent video...........I just got the same ALS holster in the mail today for my Glock 19. I ordered it after your recommendation in Combat Pistol.
Thanks for watching, TR
Nothing wrong with my SERPA since its conception. Lol 😈
Your right my brother. Safriland is better but way more expensive I own both.
First time seeing that velcro medpack, love it!
Glad you like it!
Awesome example 👍🏼 however , in theory though, since theres no kydex or other retention on your pistol mag that has the flap tucked, for ER , in theory, if you did trip and lose a mag, with your other mag intact because it was velcroed, and you go to perform that ER and you reach down, theres no mag there, not only are you slowing down that reload and taking out your last mag from velcroed side, but since you’re already doing all the actions to get your last mag out from a closed pouch, you could have done that to begin with , with your first mag and kept it retained and had twice the ammo available at that time instead of half. I know this is an extremely isolated scenario but could be something to consider . Murphys Law always applies haha. Have you thought about using a kydex style retention for your ER pistol mag? Just a thought. Was something I was thinking about to myself earlier today before I even saw this video, but nice set up.
It does have elastic/ friction retention on that first mag. So, yes, I have thought of it and agree with you 100%. Thanks for watching. TR
I was just about to buy a Serpa holster just for something quick and easy to bring to the range UNTIL I seen this video. I'm just gonna do what Karl says haha!
It's funny that cops are transitioning their gear from duty belts to carriers while the tactical world is moving stuff off their vests, to belts.
I think people just realized its better to have both, thats what a full kit truly is
Great explanation of you style kit. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, TR
Do u wear ur duty belt when u go to the bar or off field.
if i ran a bar i would have a duty belt discount. 10 percent off for those that wear duty belt or body armor to bar
There is one piece of medical supply that alot of us that did our duty time. I always had TAMPONS ON MY VEST AND BELT HAD PLENTY OF THEM TO PLUG LEAD HOLES..... SEMPER FI.......
There is no ALS holster for the gun I will be carrying I've tried the Safariland holsters and the retention screw came lose so I went with a Black Hawk Serpa.and it works. I have been practicing and seems to be working as expected. The pistol I have started using is a Para p 13 45 Though I also have a ruger American 45 with light.
Here's a question for you, no matter who i talk to in the UK military, RAF, marine or army they always say they carry the heaviest items at the top of the pack. When doing long distance walking we used to carry the heaviest items around the hips, closest to the core of the body. Think about the science of this and it makes sense, Centre of gravity etc. So what is or would be the need for this, would the heaviest of items be the most needed or is it just to make you break your balls carrying a load rucking?? No one really could give a direct answer, apart from thats what they have always been taught!
Actually both are correct, but for different situations. For a long distance hike over even terrain, load you ruck with the heavy items up top. This allows you to stand up straight when rucking; thus less strain on your back. However, when moving through uneven terrain, put the heavy stuff down bottom closer to your core. While this will make you bend over more, it will lower your center of gravity. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching. TR.
All makes sense now, thank you for clearing that up. Been one of those questions I've been meaning to solve for years.
Where can I get a couple of those flashbang grenades?
Jeremy Stubbs I was wondering to
You cant, its a controlled item by the ATF. You can however get something like a TRMR grenade that uses shotgun or pistol caliber blanks. Its reusable, is loud, and if using the "magflash" shotgun shells makes a very bright flash
Far as I know it's commercially for sale to LEOs only (I've seen some at select few gun shows) but if you do manage to get your hands on one you'll have to fill out a Form 4 and pay Destructive Device tax. Also, depending on your state laws they may have something forbidding the use of flashbangs so it's always important to check.
Also, let's say hypothetically you are able to get some flashbangs. Throwing one in your house will blow out all your windows and wreck any tv screens, computer monitors, etc as well as set off your smoke alarm. You also have the added benefit of pissing off all your neighbors. What this means is you better have a damn good reason for throwing one because police WILL investigate.
If you ask me, it's really really unnecessary to own them for anything other than cool guy points (assuming you're not military or LEO). Even if you are able to successfully use one in a defensive scenario, the backlash in court probably isn't worth it. Remember, there are always two fights: the one for your life and the one for your freedom.
*****
It's the same concept as wanting to procure select fire machine guns or rifles. Flashbangs are clearly intended to be used for offense. So yeah, I wouldn't ever plan on using one in a rule of law scenario, but I definitely don't want to have to scavenge for that kind of stuff after the shit hits the fan.
Easily made at home. As are smoke poppers. I recommend you figure out a few ways of how to make them, different materials, etc, write that down and keep it in your files. Then assemble a small stock of those materials and keep them in storage with anything else you care to have around. From there should you ever actually need them, you can make them, but you don't have ostensibly offensive/illegal items laying around that could at best degrade, or at worst be found or cause an accident. Skills over stuff.
Serpa holsters are fantstic
What is wrong with serpa holsters?
And Schu have you ever had the retention mechanism fail? one of .my soldiers did, luckily in the barracks not on patrol, we literaly had to cut the holster apart to get the gun out.
There have been a few incidents where people have had their finger slip into the trigger guard and had an ND due to the position and action required to operate the retention mechanism.
And Schu i dont get how you can get a ND with that. I have my Finger straight wenn i push the button so there is no chance to fire .
There is nothing wrong with a Serpa Holster! I use one everyday for a living and they are fantastic, along with the rest of my co- workers!
m4jedi serpa holsters have saved officers lives! I'm sure if you search hard enough you can find a malfunction in anything. If that's the case don't carry a gun because sometimes they malfunction 😉. I personally have never seen a Serpa malfunction, and no other officer I work with has had one. I'm talking like 100 Serpa holsters over the course of 8-10 years. I'm going with the odds. For gun retention a Serpa is the hardest for a bad guy to take out of your holster, and extremely easy for the operator to unholster.
I am speaking from a LEO standpoint. I have had 4 holsters in my career and the Serpa hands down is the best for LEOs.
Where do you keep your oil bottle and pull through for your weapon? Most army units like the oil bottle close by to help keep weapons working better during firefights. I’m Brit doctrine we have to keep it on us at all times.
On my plate carrier.
That definitely looks like some good training
I stopped wearing a "war" belt when I was discharged and even then I wore it rarely. Who do you guys plan on going to war with?
Well, what MOS were you?
@@dishsoap2174 what possible difference does that make? I was what you would designate an 18E, however those numbers have changed since my service. I digress now however from the subject, what possible civilian use does one have for a "war belt"? I enjoy a trip to the range as well as anyone but what war are you preparing for?
@@stevedaly730 SHTF scenario, competitive shooting, duty belt if you are LE, security, recreation, etc. Also if I want to buy and set up a war belt I can because it's perfectly legal and I don't need to provide you a reason to own it because it isn't your business. Same thing with body armor, guns, etc.
The 2nd amendment is for defending myself, my family, and my property from those who wish to harm me. That includes criminals, but it most importantly includes a tyrannical government that wishes to infringe on my god given natural born rights. War belts, body armor, AR-15s, Glocks, etc. These are all tools I can use to in my pursuit of self preservation and defense, therefore I am allowed to own and maintain these items as I see fit.
In short, because I can.

What are your thoughts on people using safety lines on their belts?
I know Serpa holster get a bad rep, but it's not the holster it's the shooter who doesn't know how to keep his finger of the trigger until ready to fire. I've had one for years and never had a problem on the draw. When I draw my finger always ends up straight over the slide and not the trigger. It's all about proper training with the equipment.
is that ifak uncomfortable when you're sitting (in a chinook/humvee etc.)?
Just to subscribe I have this same question, too bad it wasn’t answered
I wear my IFAK there on my belt. We usually get to our range in my buddy’s Polaris, it actually feels like lumbar support.
Karl and TR Team, great channel and another informative video. Thanks !
Question? For you in combat... Do you pull supplies from your belt first or from your body armor first? I seem to think it is personal preference? Just wondering how you pull your resources?
Depends what item it is and the situation. However, usually pull from plate carrier first... so if I have to dump carrier ( like helo down in ocean) I still have a full belt. Thanks for watching. TR
Which Ifac is that and who makes your dump pouch?
ATS makes the IFAC pouch. I pack it with my own preference of medical equipment. As for the dump pouch, it's either ATS or Blackhawk. It works fine, and I don't need fancy gear.
Nice riggers belt
Sweet ifak set up
Interesting but we all have our own way of kit on escape belt one would dump the gloco ues sig normally 2 tk is enough this is just my thing after doing 24 years on the job

Holster, made by safariland, ALS retention
I'm lovin..that belt additional those classified things discussed, dreaming of my relocation!France devil out
First of all thank you for your service Carl and for the time you put into these videos. I'm looking for a tactical war belt that fits me. I stand 5'3" tall and have a short torso for my height. I also have a 29" waist and was wandering which size ATS war belt I should order, (both the war belt and belt insert). I'm also considering a cobra belt if anyone makes one with the Velcro and sizing would also be a consideration with that. Given my short stature I was also wandering if the ATS Padded War Belt Harness would work for me. The reason I ask is I've had trouble finding chest rigs that will fit me given my short stature as well as war belts that won't slide down over my hips given my small waist size.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
Call ATS and ask for Jimmy Bonner. He will size you correct
Thank you. I've already left a message and I'm awaiting a reply. By the way, do you spell your name with a c or a k? hope I didn't misspell your name.

Is this the "Slimline War Belt" or the "ATS War Belt"
So I’m noticing you run your Kangaroo style mag pouches not on the front of your carrier, but off to the shooters left, any particular reason (I’m setting my carrier up and I’m not sure where I should put my same style mag pouches)
Sweet another army brother
Lol SERPA holsters really are garbage... The AD thing aside, i have seen them choke up multiple times where the gun can not physically get out of the holster. 1 had to actually be cut out later, because the button was so fucked up with dust and debris (which is kind of common in real training...)
Hey awesome channel which ive just come acrossed and immediately subscribed!! In this day and age everybody on youtube is a tactical expert so when I saw you guys are all current or past military and SF I figured that makes you the expert in my opinion!! So that said I'd like to.ask if you think the average joe blow American citizen just trying to stay alive and protect whats his or hers do you recommend they invest in the body armor and war belts like you guys use or are we better off not playing GI Joe and leave to you guys?? Honestly the thought of having any advantage over some scumbags kicking your door in appeals to me like the body armor. Plus having everything in one central spot all the time also seems a good idea like you stated for muscle memory!! Ive been around firearms all my life (I'm 50) but no prior military experience. If you recommend these things besides the belt listed what do you recommend for the average homeowners? Sorry for the long post, keep up the good videos and thank you for your service to this great nation and your time.
Tim, I have a couple other video out on setting up your personal kit. Again, it is yours personally. So, your situation is different than mine; hence your kit setup should also be different. Look at your situation and your mission; then design what you need. Keep it as basic as possible, and it'll never let you down. Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Tactical Rifleman Thanks for the quick reply and info. Much appreciated.
How about DETECTOR LANDMINES 200meter detonator
I had a blackhawk serpa holster that broke so I wouldn't recommend it because of that. The retention system doesn't work anymore and having a loaded pistol that would not be secure at all is not a good thing. I have also heard that some people don't draw the pistol correctly with this holster leading to negligent discharge. I'm guessing that's what he meant by the life you safe may be your own.
Bingo
Training. you need to train properly with the system. Serpa has a video of how to and how to NOT draw the weapon. People are lazy and do not practice or even watch the video. The ND is on them. Police officer 15 years. Worn many different retention holsters. Been wearing a Serpa for 9 years. In the dirt. On my side. It has never failed. My gun is in and out of that holster every day 5 or 6 times. Funny. Never a ND.
Single or double point slings? What is the difference and is one better over the other?

What war belts are good that also have Velcro on the inside to stick belter to your inside belt
Can you please tell me the exact holster and mounting system you are using?
It is a ALS Holster, made by Safariland. I run a G-34 holster, so it will fit a G-19, G-17, and G-34 all perfectly, so long as I have the same Surefire light mounted. I also run a Safariland 1.5 inch offset mount to lower the holster just slightly, so it clears my Plate Carrier better. It works for me. Actual model of holster will vary in 50 different ways depending on type pistol, type light, and type of holster design. SO, you'll have to go to the Safariland website to find your perfect fit. Thanks for watching, TR
How would you thread your belt in a holster?
I have the same als holster. I have safriland and every other you can think of. I don't get the hate for blackhawk. I like serpa. Guess I'm old . Back then we didnt have all the cool stuff like now. So I'm real good with them no issues ever. Everyone had those and I never heard a bad word. This is the first I've heard. Now .Yeah it's not on my assault belt and I use others on it. Would you really not let some one train. Sounds like a glock boy. I mean I can draw hard with a sherpa holster. Now I prefer my safriland als holsters or some of my custom kydex holsters but just don't get the hate.
Hey there. So I understand why you wouldnt want to run a plate carrier with the weight of the plates but what about a chest rig like hsp or high speed?
Plates are not heavy. If you are gonna run a chest rig, run plates. Different video, that you can find in our video archive. Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRifleman Thank you.
awesome video sir! But just realized that my first line belt is crap 😂😂
