2023 Duty Belt review

[@chris71320]

Speaking of newer, stiff belts, it looks like Safelife Defense just released a basketweave molle version, I’ve been rubbing a stretchyyyy basketweave molle belt from x duty belts this year

How have your ASP handcuffs been holding up? Does your whole department use them? It would be really cool if you did a stand alone video on those!

[@bitaarmaments8004]

That’s a great idea, I’ve been wanting to get the new hinge cuffs with the button double lock. Over all, they are holding well. My only complaint is when the jail returns them, they slide them under the door and it’s very rough on the plastic. For as much salt air exposure and only oiling them 1-2 year, they don’t show as much rust as the peerless hanging in my car. I still like them over the alternatives I’ve experienced.

Clipping your remote speaker mic should never be clipped to your radio antenna. It puts too much stress on the antenna.

Glad to see three mags, keep seeing officers .go to two mags

[@bitaarmaments8004]

Two on the belt and one in the gun is normal, most law enforcement pistols come with a total of 3 mags. Nearly half our agency runs the tripple mag pouch and we have to purchase our fourth mag for it. Back when we were still running .40, I'd have another couple of mags loaded in the car as well, but I'm just not a fan of additional 9mm glock mags near all the .40 mags I already have.

@@bitaarmaments8004 Could I ask a question please? Every time your tears changes do you have to go for retraining?

[@bitaarmaments8004]

@@NamasW24 if your asking if we prequalify when we change calibers, yes. We almost treat it like qualifying on the serial number of the gun rather than caliber/platform.

Your department must not allow you to wear MOLLE vest carriers. Thank God mine do. When I came on the Job in 89 we carried everything on the belt even though it wasn't as much stuff as we carried now over time it made me have back problems. Be safe Brother. 🇺🇸👮‍♂️

[@jesusjaramillo7860]

Why do you have a double cuff pouch behind your back and why that k bar knife 🔪 🤔 that's insane idk what department allows that wouldn't that interfere with your vest

[@bitaarmaments8004]

It’s an Asp single cuff pouch, Asp cuffs have the overmold so they are a bit thicker and take a slightly bigger pouch. Running around the woods, a good knife is important and a baby Ka-Bar has been really good for me over the years.

[@austinharrold8763]

What fixed blade are you running and how is it mounted ?

[@bitaarmaments8004]

It’s the short KaBar and the sheath is tied to the belt with cord. It’s been a good setup over the last few years.

And a nice “ arm rest “ lols

[@MrFalconrules]

take that knife off of there. Im cool with carrying a knife somewhere hidden but that placement and the amount of attention that knife brings is dangerous.

[@bitaarmaments8004]

While that is an opinion, it’s not one I share.
