shuter Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I'm sure this sounds ridiculous, but I've read several times on the forums that, for a new shooter, start out with the ELS system. My issue is that I have a holster, pistol mag pouches and a couple AR mag pouches that all have Tek Lok. Will Tek Lock snap over an ELS belt, and then I could add ELS attachments for shell caddies, etc. in the future? Or, should I get a CR Speed belt and just clamp my Tek Loks on...then get Tek Lok attachments when I settle on a shell caddie arrangement?

HotLoad Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Many tek lock items can be used with the els plates. If u are serious about 3 gun and don't have a lot invested in another system use the safariland els system. My bladeteck ar mag pouches were tek lock setup initially and I took it off and was able to screw in the els plates. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry weeks Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 You'll like the ELS. An ELS fork will replace a Tec Loc easily. We had a long shotgun-only stage and I was able to pop my pistol holster off and replace it with another shotshell caddy. I set mine up so the forks come up from the bottom. Easier for me to pinch them at the top. Plus I figured the solid part of the fork would have more resistance to pulling out if something got jammed.

shuter Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Do you guys know if a Tek Lok will snap over an ELS belt? Or is the belt too wide/thick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxerglocker Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Do you guys know if a Tek Lok will snap over an ELS belt? Or is the belt too wide/thick? My belt rig is all ELS with the exception of my Bladetech DOH holster which is Tek Loc, you'll have no isuues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tavman Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 You can snap the tek-lock on the ELS belt without a problem. It is also relatively inexpensive to convert your holster and mag pouches from tek-lock to the els attachment system. I think a 3 pack is like $18? I have converted all my tek-lock to els for 3 gun.

rep70 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 If you already own a belt Blade tech has the TMMS system, I just switched over and like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGER3BN Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 You will have no issues. You will also be glad you made the switch to an ELS system...excellent and headache free for 3 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
