BigQ Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi folks, not new to shooting but am to competitive shooting. Picked up a CR speed belt, 5 ready tactical pouches and a bladetech holster for my USPSA debut haha. Could someone give me some advice as to gear setup, I'm looking at this inner and outer belt and trying to figure out exactly where the overlaps should be on my body when both belts are being worn. Newb question but I'm confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshxdm9 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Not sure if it's right but I have the inner belt through belt loops and overlapped in the front and the outer belt overlapped in the back. I am a big guy so this works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I run my production rig with the overlaps in front since all mag pouches are towards the back. For my open rig I overlap the outer belt in back since my mags are in front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Try not to have the overlap under the holster as this could lead to breaking the 2" rule more easily. This would apply to any class, then look at what Sarge posted above as in some classes you can have the mag pouches more to the front and some have to be behind a certain point. If you have a rule book, look and see what it says about the class you plan to shoot in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If you belly button is noon, I overlap my inside belt at 6-8 and my outer belt at 4-6. I don't like having both overlaps over lap, because it makes for a weird bulge and you cant get the belt keeper thing around it. Also when i started three gunning i needed to be able to put pouches and caddies all the way from 8 around the front all the way to my holster so this positioning of belts was the results. Make sure you index your holster of something too, I use the seam of my pants so that the gun is always in the same place to aid in consistency of your draw. If everything is locked down well on the outer belt, that should keep all you pouches in the same place too for consistency there. Have a 'blast!'

BigQ Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for the advice, got it setup and seems pretty comfortable and functional. At least till I get to the range and start changing things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I run one of the overlaps in the front and one in the back. Which depends on division. For production my outer belt overlaps in the front with the inner at the back. For limited or three gun I run the outer belt overlap on the back.

JWeber Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Put Velcro on the inside of your mag pouches and the holster connection if needed. I normally bunch up my mag pouches which pushes the outer belt away from the inner belt where the weight is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
