Gun belt recommendations for uspsa?

[Kyle2086]

Been slowly getting into uspsa recently just for fun, I doubt I'll ever pick up grand master but I'd like to get set up so I can just have a go bag to practice or go to the meet, I've been using a Kore belt and some Blackhawk magazine pouches, I'd like to get something similar to a duty belt setup with an inner and outer belt, I'd like to have a dump pouch and first aid bag on, so something that would work with molle straps. I'm running a Sig 320 X5 with an EPS, other than that it's stock. Any recommendations are appreciated, I'd be super happy to get a whole rig for 300, but if it's worth it to spend more for some reason I'm open to it.

Thanks for reading!

You don't need a dump pouch for competition. It sounds like you want to run a tactical setup, which is fine, but it'll get in the way. Are you looking for two setups or one that will do both? If you do a tactical setup it's different. They'll use a buckle system vs the velcro. You don't need to spend a lot of money, but they're different.

Ghost mag pouches like this

A ghost belt or whatever belt you want and a good holster. These days, the bigdogsteel ones are good with retention. I'll have a review of it myself soon.

Not so much a need as a want, mostly for those stages where you have to grab your pistol and magazines off the table, but I guess that's why people use magnets, I'm not really all that comfortable about using them yet.

I'm curious to hear how you like that holster!

For belts, I personally like the ratchet-style belts like the DAA or the Dominate Defense.

I really dig that one from dominate defense, thanks!

I really like the flexibility and adjustability of this guy: https://www.koreessentials.com/products/b2-coyote-battle-belt-complete-kit

If at some point I end up running multiple firearms and want to do a second belt setup and switch back and forth between them that's also an option.

I'm currently running teh Ghost Holster Hydra P+ rig. It's comfortable enough.

I have friends that love the Double Alpha rigs, and they run the Lynx belt. The website was a little too busy for me and I couldn't come up with a rig set up that made sense for me. https://www.doublealpha.biz/us/holsters-and-rigs

I don't know anything about tactical rigs, but for a carry optics USPSA rig, this is what I'd get (in fact it's exactly what I do use):

For belt, you'll be fine with that DAA premium I linked, or the DAA lynx, CR Speed, or Shooters Connection. They're all fine.

For holster, I wouldn't spend more than the one I linked there, if you're shooting prod or CO. You can replace one of the screws on the holster with this: https://www.mcmaster.com/5720K45/ to give it a really nice lock/unlock system.

For pouches, I've used both the ghost 360 and daa XiP and much prefer the daa xip for ease of adjusting. I use 3x of the XiP, with a magnet on the 1st one. I use the magnet to bring my 'make ready' mag to the start, and to hold my 'unload and show clear' mag at the end.
