JAB Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Has anyone found that the DAA belts are just a shade wider and thicker then the CR belts. I bought one last week and tried to put my holster on it but only could get it on the belt a few inches. Then I was going to try to see if my mag pouches would fit and not a chance.

zzw26n Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 My 50th Post! The DAA Belt is just a little bigger, but I was able to get everything on with some work. Everything I put on had screws on the hangers, a little compression to get the screws started and tighten them up. It's a great belt and worth the effort imho.

CZinSC Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 DAA belts are in fact wider. They do it on purpose so that the holster and mag pouches stay put. If you go to the DAA website, it says it on there. I love that it is wider for this reason. Once you get the gear on, it's not moving. Like zzw, my gear has the screws on the hangers too so you don't need to slide them, you just put them where you want and screw down the back plate. http://www.doublealpha.biz/ipsc-holsters-rigs/belts/double-alpha-competition-belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The DAA belts are are made oversize on purpose. It is designed to keep your gear from moving on the belt after it is setup. Love my DAAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger123 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 DAA stuff seems to be designed for DAA stuff. my daa holster fits right on my daa belt with a little pressure but my Safari land pouches aren't even close to going into the notch.

zzt Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 DAA gear fits the DAA belt with no fuss. Everything else fits, with a little fuss. As stated above, you cannot slide gear onto the belt. You have to remove the clamping mechanism, position it on the belt, "snap" it onto the belt and then fasten. Some holsters/hangers come with screws that make life a little difficult. For example, I first used a BladeTech holster mounted on a BOSS hanger. I got the BOSS snapped onto the belt, but could not get the screws started because I could not compress the belt enough by hand. So I went to the hardware store and bought four 1/4" longer screws and used them. I left them a little loose so I could slide the holster around on the belt to get the best position, then really tightened the screws. That compresses the belt. The longer screws stuck out by 1/4", so one by one I replaced them with the original screws. A nuclear blast would not dislodge that hanger. I just replaced that setup with a DAA Race Master holster. It literally took seconds to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAA gear is easy to put on DAA belts. Other brands are not easy to put on but they will go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repins1911 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 CR Speed pouches will go on a DAA belt. It is a challenge and you might need to drink some water in between each pouch, but they will go on. As others have said they stay put once there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think it is worth the effort to install stuff as it's more solid than a CR speed. If you just wanna throw stuff on and set the belt in 5 min get the CR speed or if you have one belt and wanna change stuff over to shoot different divisions then get the CR speed as it's not an easy swap. If you wanna set it up once and leave it the double alpha is a much stiffer belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I just decided I was going to shoot two divisions. I'll just buy a second belt. The belt's the cheap part. It's the stuff you put on it that costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the stuff you put on it that costs. Absolutely, two belts works great for two divisions. I just leave my two belts set up all the time, one for Production, one for Limited. (one DA belt, one CR, like both) Eric Edited March 9, 2015 by eric4069 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaylanGivens Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Getting CR mag pouches on a DAA belt is tough... I had to file the inside of the mag pouches a bit and then put the DAA belt in a vise to squeeze the tip of ther belt down so I could get the mag pouches started... then I wiggled them into place... Now that they are located, they are rock solid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatriotMRD Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 CR Speed pouches will go on a DAA belt. It is a challenge and you might need to drink some water in between each pouch, but they will go on. As others have said they stay put once there. I found this to be very true. My 3-gun belt is DAA with CR mag pouches. It is very tough but they do go on and stay put.
