    Simper Fi Seal great belt. When I was in the Marines 1987-1991 we wore Vietnam era Allis Web belt on it were my suspenders and pads. I had 2 M -14 soft nylon mag pouches. My M 12 nylon holster and M 12 mag pouch. My two M-67 plastic canteens. On my suspenders pad was my K-bar and the other side my compass pouch. My rook sack or butt pack! We used SIG Sauer P 220 45 ACP Back then or my Colt 1911A1 45;ACP. Great show!

    Thanks Man, watching your video really helped me set up a great belt, I was able to find everything from Amazon, starting from the left at the main buckle, horizonal lid& latch fold knife, two9ml kydex kiwi, 2 m4 kydex kiwi, 1" gap then fold up dump 1" gap, water bottle, IFAC w/trn under , 1" gap, holster rack, sm.flashlight w/lid, horizonal multi tool w/lid&buckle, same as the other side of main belt buckle, it's a little beyond a speed belt only, more like running and gunning belt . All in matching multi-cam. The kiwi-kydex mag pouches are great very clean looking, all MOLLE, everything is tight no movement. The hole thing turned out great ! 🤠 It's also very hot here (PHX), not using bungee strings is a great idea, plus I think it looks cleaner ! I ware a tool belt as a carpenter most of my life, so when I say it's very nice you can believe me . Thanks again, I watch all your team all the time, you guys are AWESOME 😎

    I use malice clips with my Esstacs but I wonder if you’ve tried to add Velcro to the back of the mag clip, facing the outer belt. Then, you’d have Velcro on both sides of the clip and maybe a little more stability. Thanks for posting the video. It’s fun to see how people do things and the kit that they enjoy.

    Pro tip. You can tape male or female velcro pieces on plastic belt loops. This way u cant still have 100 % contact and help to make your gear not walk around. You should do this on first place anyhow. Makes life much easier for cost of pennies.

    Weapon mounted light holsters typically seem to work for P80 with a light because the retention is usually on the light. In the video I modified a mused version of the Safariland ALS. I used some painters tape to beef up they frame, a heat gun to soften the kydex, then shoved it into the holster and let it cool in place to hold its shape.
