Weever82 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Setting up my rig for the first time and had to take apart the DAA racers and set up for left handed. Also had to swap the pressure pad because I'm gonna use a Glock... Question is.. how do they go on the belt... this way? all 5 behind the hip bone right? Sorry for newb questions. Don't really have anyone local to ask. Weev- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1_Demon Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 That appears correct to me. As long as it is behind the hip bone for Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdob Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 As a fellow lefty I feel your pain, seems everything has to special ordered or modded. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weever82 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 I think it is coming along nicely... They seem too straight up and down though... Maybe slanted more? thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I like them vertical. Spread them out more though - you don't want you fingers to accidentally pull mag #2 loose while drawing the front one. Just 1/2" or so of space between them is a big difference.

MemphisMechanic Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I rake the first mag pouch backward just slightly, but leave all the rest vertical. Most production guys run pretty much 100% vertical mag carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlvrDragon50 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 My first 3 are vertical, my 4th and 5th are angled towards me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems most are vertical and then a few are preference. i only got 4... was gonna put a mag in my pocket. Is that good or am I just gonna need a 5th pouch and just buy it now?

Mine I could get away with usually just 3 mags including the starting mag. I just carry all 5 to get used to the weight. I angle because I'm pretty skinny, and if I reach to the back, then I'm pretty much forced to angle my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weever82 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) No pocket? Dang... maybe I'll just grab another to be safe or have a spare if one breaks. i was honestly worried I wouldn't have enough room before the hip bone. I'm a pretty little dude.

MemphisMechanic Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Mags drawn from anywhere besides the belt = you shoot in Open division. Stupid rule since I'd gladly have all the other Production guys try to fish mags out of pockets on the run. If your local match adheres to the rules properly, you can usually make 4 on the belt and one in the gun work well over 90% of the time. That said there are times that a 6th mag is an advantage.

That said there are times that a 6th mag is an advantage. 5.2.4 During the course of fire, after the start signal, unless stipulated otherwise in the stage procedure, spare ammunition, magazines and/or speed loading devices shall be carried in retention devices attached to the competitor's belt and specifically designed for that purpose. Unless specifically prohibited in the Written Stage Briefing, a competitor may also carry additional magazines or speed loading devices in apparel pocket(s) and retrieve and use them, providing that the location of the apparel pocket does not violate the requirements of Appendix D, Item 12 (subject to the provisions of Rule 6.2.5.1). In production and single stack you can have mags in your pockets, but if that pocket is in front of your hip bone and you use the mag your in open. Back pocket is good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can produce a magazine from anywhere at load and make ready - as long as the timer isn't ticking yet, you're a free man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still might buy an extra if one breaks but gives me a few pay periods in between. This crap ain't cheap. Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbit99 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm glad to hear this information... I'm new to the game as well. I planned on using five total with the start mag in a pocket. Glad to hear its G to G. I did discover by myself (quite by accident!!...) the necessity to keep them positioned a distance apart. Its terribly embarrassing to grab for your first reload and hook the second mag with a finger and pull it free... only later to realize that you dumped a full mag on the ground...

Trial by error, my friend, trial by error. I'm sure most everyone has done it or almost done it at some point. Unless they read it here first and got lucky and avoided it by someone else's experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
