Wherever he gets his velcro from is some of the best I have seen used on a belt. Industrial grade and his belts have an inner plastic/kydex liner sewn into them for stiffness. Does this belt stay tight? It looks as if the buckle is sew on to a piece of elastic. How did you do the sizing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admcd Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 This is a quality belt. Had my hands on one from a friend I shoot with. Ordered one myself this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also made my own with a strap and buckle from M2 and a CR Speed belt. I found a trick to prevent bunching up of the belt. I bought some 1.5" wide velcro on Amazon. It is single sided (sort of like a DAA inner belt). I cut a length of both the hook and fuzzy side of the velcro and put it on the outer belt velcro in the section where the 2 ends of the outer belt overlap each other. When I tighten the ratchet, the overlap-section can slide past each other and not bind. It has worked very well. That is genius that is the one issue I have been having with this belt.

Posvar Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I’m waiting on Atlas to get my size and then I’ll be getting one. Even a little extra bit of tightness will bring piece of mind with a heavy open rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, which inner belt did you use? I got the belt and ordered the correct size according to the sizing specs and chart but it was too big and I couldn't tighten it down without running out of clicks and it was still too lose. RHT would not take back without restocking fee so I said forget them and modded it myself. The actual belt was pretty close to the right size but the ratchet placement was off. I am in between a Medium and Large and kept the Medium. I drilled a new hole and moved ratchet and now it's good. Yesterday I finally got the new rig set up and had to cut the plastic ratchet strap a bit to shorten up the excess that was sticking out. The belt is solid! Much more of a firm and secure feel over the DAA with next to no sag. I took my DAA inner belt and am using that for now. Dry fire showed lots of potential and it stayed tight with a full rig. To me I think its worth the money but if I was to do it again I would buy the ratchet mod kit and do my existing DAA belt. Time is at a premium between work and another round of hospitalization with my 12 year old daughter so I am glad it was pretty easy to set up. Hope this helps!

Thank you. Do you have a link for the ratchet mod kit? Also, what is your clothing waist size? But more importantly, I have a 7 year old daughter and can imagine how hard it is to have your daughter in the hospital. I am so so sorry. Hang in there and maybe PM me with an update on her, that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there and maybe PM me with an update on her, that would be nice. I wear a size 36". Here is a link to the DIY options... https://www.ratchetingbuckles.com/ If you get one or make one you will need a little Velcro for a mod that a buddy told me about. It will keep the belt from bunching up at the ratchet point. It was like $11 on Amazon for a huge roll. I really appreciate the kind words. We just want her to be better. In the meantime we have a high deductible which forces me to have to sell off a bunch of stuff soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posvar Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I ran the rig hard in live fire practice last week and really do like it. Once you figure it out it’s rock solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van123d Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I had the same issue with the RHT belt, the way the ratchet is spaced off the end of the belt stops it from ratcheting. It looks the same as the Atlas and DBgear ones. I just took mine into a local shoe/leather repair shop and had the belt shortened between the ratchet and the end of the belt. Cost about $15. It would be nice if this was better designed from the start but otherwise I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mban2 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Do ratchets really help that much over the standard Velcro? Is it mostly for after the Velcro wears out and you still want it to stay tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconpilot Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) If you have to fall right between sizes for belts, get the smaller size as the bigger one will be way to big. Edited April 18, 2020 by falconpilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I was looking at the kit from M2 at https://www.ratchetingbuckles.com/ratchet-buckles-ladder-straps/1-ratcheting-buckle-attached-to-extension-tab-rb1t-n-blacktanwhite-2-2-2/ . Anybody have a suggestion on using the soft or firm strap?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Why is it necessary to overlap the outer belt? I made my own with the M2 parts and set it up with the buckle in the front and a small gap between the two ends. It's comfortable and secure when on, and nothing bunches up.
