o27 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 About to order my first rig. I’m being recommended both ELS and DAA but can’t seem to make up my mind, so pros and cons would be appreciated. I want a Kydex style holster, and use it for IPSC Standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) I have both rigs. I like the ELS but I haven't found a way to adapt my DAA mag pouches to fit on the ELS belt. I like a specific angle on my mag pouches for PCC that I can't achieve with the ELS. So I use my DAA for PCC. I would also suggest you look into the ratchet system. I converted both of my rigs and I like it better than the velcro strap. *edit DAA makes the ELS Adaptor plate for the ELS pouches. I just ordered them from Shooters connection.

o27 Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 By ratchet system I assume it’s the metal pins you refer to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAA has a adapter plate for their mag pouches that allows them to be mounted to els. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o27 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 It seems like ELS is King if you soot 3 gun or the like with the need for frequent changes of your gear, but I’ll be in Limited so leaning towards DAA, Gaga belt, custom holster from DKYD (local) wit DAA hanger and sickinger IPSC box or DAA racers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheshaw1 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm running a hybrid system. I havea DAA belt and made an adapter to use the els brackets on the belt for 3 gun. So far it's worked great and doesn't have any movement. So far I think it's the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o27 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks. I´ll probably also opt for some kind of hybrid with the belt, a custom Kydex from a local veteran start-up (feel strongly about supporting such an initiative) and a third for mag pouches.
