G-Code EDC Shooter's Belt

[@yankeeroad626]

This belt is actually meant to attach to a velcro belt that is running through the loops on your pants the regular velcro belt is what holds your pants up this attaches to the outside. You then have your holster and all your rig setup on the G-Code belt itself. the velcro on the inside of the belt attaches to the velcro belt you're already wearing and goes on the outside of your Loops this belt is not designed to go through belt loops. And that's the purpose of the velcro on the inside of the G-Code belt is to attach the velcro belt you're already wearing. But quote if the month for me "Some tactical SWAT shit" love it!

[@jasonmcphee8783]

you beat me to it. I have the Operators belt system, built up from individual components as a pistol rig and I cannot fault it. It is an outer belt made to mate with a velcro inner. No issues with G-Code at all. Belts, Holsters, Mag Carriers and Holsters. Love the RTI system, so easier to change out in seconds.

[@603gts]

Ehhhhhh that's an external belt... It's meant to be worn externior to the inner Velcro belt. That belt doesn't go through your belt loops dude... I run a Ronin tactics warriors belt and it works the same way.

[@HarleyWood23]

+John Chen I thought the same thing when I bought it but this has loop Velcro on the inside. Inner belts also have loop Velcro, so this doesn’t mate with those. Their website says you can wear it as a primary belt inside your pant loops, or as an outer load-bearing belt like you mention. However they don’t offer an inner belt with hook Velcro that would mate up.

[@davidwlee0351]

John Chen it is meant to be worn with an inner belt, I wear mine daily with real jeans and it works great, he said it took him 15 min to set his belt on his pants with his carriers. He should just use a clip set up then. Lol

[@gadsdenjim8785]

You know You don't have to thread the final end through the belt loops, I just velcro it over the belt loops at the end instead of fighting it through with the velcro sticking to each other.

[@Bulldogmm]

Easy fix just buy a Velcro belt. The G-Code will attach to it. That's how I use mine. I kind of thought that's how everyone did it.

[@HarleyWood23]

Yep. I'm about to do a follow up video to this. I've since bought an inner Velcro belt and a battle belt that this interfaces with. Thanks for watching.

[@THEBIGELK5150]

The large goes down to 36". Your holding an extra large in this video. Which is only supposed to go down to 40". It's inside the belt. Tag can be seen at 1:41

[@HarleyWood23]

+THEBIGELK5150 wow. good eye. that's interesting. Either they changed the sizes on the site, or they sent me the wrong size. I know i ordered the one that was supposed to go from 36-40. I'm gonna have to find my order information.

[@HarleyWood23]

you were right. I contacted G-Code and they confirmed that i ordered an XL. I annotated the video to note my mistake. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@THEBIGELK5150]

+HarleyWood23 no problem man glad I could "help" I guess. If helping is what I did haha.

[@b0xf0x13]

Thanks for the honest review. Everything I've seen so far on this type of belt seems to only point out how "amazing" this type of belt is, but this is the first video that explains all of the setbacks.

[@davidwlee0351]

b0xf0x13 it is an amazing set up he is using incorrectly, any Velcro stitched belt will catch on those “tacticool” pants.

[@MrFoxracing19]

Never seen someone describe what a pain in the ass running a belt loop through pants as well as you. Good job

[@CrazyRussian16]

Inner belt goes through loops. Outer belt mounts holsters, pouches, etc. and goes over the the inner belt without going through the belt loops. Source: product description in link. www.tacticalholsters.com/product/Contact_Series/GSG001.html Hope this works out better.

[@HarleyWood23]

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately that's not actually the same belt. If you notice, the one you posted has hook velcro on the inside of the outer belt. I have the EDC Operator's belt (link below). It comes with loop velcro, not hook. www.tacticalholsters.com/product/BELTS/ASB_175_Belt.html Some others commented as well though, and showed me some inner belt options, like from HSGI, that do mate up to this one. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

[@LaconianConcepts]

This^

[@Juice56107]

look into getting an inner velcro belt to loop through your pants then simply place the gcode belt on top of the inner belt outside the pants belt loops.

[@HarleyWood23]

+Juice56107 there are some similar comments about this below. Unfortunately this belt comes with loop-velcro on the inside. Those belts you mention also come with loop-velcro, so unfortunately this won't mate to those. Thanks for watching and contributing.

[@rich1958]

Velcro to use the itch inner belt not for attachments. I don’t think belt is designed to feed through belt loops.

[@551taylor]

The British Army BDU trousers have belt loops that are button down, so you can attach a fully rigged belt and then button it in place. This belt might be more suited to that type of use.

[@kfeltenberger]

Is the Cobra buckle a must have? If not, consider a The Wilderness Instructor Belt, probably one of the extra stitched belts. I've had them for 15 years and they're phenomenal.

[@KevinLam86]

Why is this video the only review of this belt??

[@adamnichols2762]

Yea, the belt problem is inherited by each and every one of us EDC people. Its kind of a double edged sword. If you want a comfortable belt, its not going to be strong enough for a OWB double-stack firearm, on the other hand, if you get a dense enough belt to handle that double stack, then you probably are going to be in the same boat as all of us cobra buckle lovers. They make a one inch buckle now that SOE uses and I absolutely love it, also check out the g-hook EDC belts they offer. If you really don't care if you have a cobra buckle or not, they are absolutely a great option. Forewarning, SOE has a 8-10 week hold on orders, but their products are well worth the wait. That is if you already have a EDC belt you use until that order is fulfilled. Hope this helps bro. Take care and keep those groups small my friend.

[@tylerfj24]

GET IT WITHOUT THE VELCRO PROBLEM SOLVED JESUS CHRIST

[@scottydoo330]

This belt is not to be fed through your belt loops. This is a belt to attach to your hook or loop inner belt which does thread through your belt. This is meant for a quick throw on cuz the shyt hit the fan. You can also not have the inner hook or loop and just throw it over your every day belt. Just my opinion.

[@4x4le]

i have the g code inner and outer belt which eleminates this problem but im not quite sure how the inner is supposed to be tensioned. it seems both too long and too short at the same time.

[@SnareMan]

Yea, just too much hassle for an EDC belt. I just reviewed the Browncoat Tactical belt with the Raptor buckle. I can get my Wilderness Tactical belts on in a fraction of the time.

[@bamabushcrafter5181]

Thanks for the review Harley. I have been looking for a good belt for my holster for awhile. I have been checking out a 1.5 Cobra duty belt, but it is about $70...I didn't know that G-code made belts. You have given me something to think about...Jason

[@HarleyWood23]

I didn't mention in the video, but this is a 1.75" belt. If i were you, I'd go with the 1.5.

[@crimsond007]

couldn't you just attach a portion of the velcro together and loop it through and it should not snap on the loops while fishing it threw.

[@andrewshirley2485]

Try the Vedder belt. The female end is smaller and fits thro belt loops. It's a good belt

[@headspace8338]

Have you checked out SOE? They make some nice low profile belts. Also, you might want to look into a belt pad, if you are setting up for the range.

[@HarleyWood23]

Yes, i looked into their belts also. I know they're kind of the go-to in the industry, but for whatever reason, i went with G-Code. I'm looking into the VTAC Battle Belt. That's probably next on my list of things to buy. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@UrbanArmed]

"Tactical Swat Shit" .. Love it.. Yeah man, I had the same gripe about the Bashido tactical belts. I don't like the doubled up fabric on the right side, thats my strong side, I put my IWB holster in and adds so much thickness on the right side, so I have an 80 dollar belt I never wear. Lately just been using 5.11 belts.. Not as rigid, but I don't have to deal with all that overhead. Great review man, the struggle is real.

[@HarleyWood23]

Yeah. I have two of those 5.11 belts. I hate the plastic "buckle" on those though. I just saw they came out with a cobra buckle version too. Thanks for watching.

[@UrbanArmed]

HarleyWood23 I hate the plastic buckle, I just pretend it's not there.. it's ugly as fook though..

[@SARLIN5]

Get it without the velcro inside and flip the belt. (inside out)

[@gsotak1]

You should look into the ARES belt

[@keeganjacobs5913]

What is the Velcro in the inside do ? Also is there a steel core or polymer plastic piece inside the belt to make it rigid or just the triple stitching nylon?

[@HarleyWood23]

Keegan Jacobs It’s for affixing inside a padded battle belt or for use with Velcro holsters or pouches to keep them from sliding around the belt. There is no polymer or steel inside.

[@roadglide]

Cobra belt best when used in conjunction with an HSG Battle belt or other. EDC can be used but not without a little McGiver. Why not a Wilderness? Stiff with a small effective buckle closure with easy belt loop facilitating for daily clothing changes or holster/mag combo change outs.

[@edge4006]

I got a Condor belt with the same problems, sold it and got a 5.11 Trainer Belt.

[@lcole1985]

What kind of mag carriers are those? Those are nice.

[@HarleyWood23]

They're from Blackpoint Tactical. My Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5urd6GGYt2sp5Y Order Here: www.blackpointtactical.com/shop/map/

[@pitbull82]

I have the same problem with my 5.11 "Operator" belt, I think it's called. Sucks. I just use a G-Code holster with the slip on clip. (Incog eclipse) Makes the holster part easier.

[@blazkowiez]

Attach the velcro tab to the belt before sliding it through. It helps at the very least my soe belt has a better time of it.

[@HarleyWood23]

ah. Good suggestion. Thanks

[@Mike-4547]

Thanks for the video saved me some trouble. Who makes the mag carrier ?.

[@HarleyWood23]

Mike ts the one i showed in the video? Blackpoint Tactical. I did a review on it here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5urd6GGYt2sp5Y

[@mixflip]

thanks for the video. this is why I never bought a cobra buckle type EDC belt. I recently took a high-risk search warrant class and used a Jerry rigged battle belt I made and could have used a high-quality battle belt for sure. moving forward I think I will drop the whole battle belt setup and go with the new high threat tactical belt system with a hook and loop underbelt like the one I saw on the military arms channel. pricey but easy on and snug as a bug. all good things when doing a lot of training.

[@charles17508]

Yep it's a hassle 2nd belt is a must with those .

[@gimlet4216]

Take a look at Blue Alpha Gear. They make awesome EDC and Range/Duty belts.

[@armandryan5058]

Do most of these guys not understand that this belt is NOT MEANT TO GOT THROUGH ANY BELT LOOPS. Its a load bearing belt and meant to be worn just around the waist. Was never meant to be looped. Suburban wanna be commandos. Read the description of the product. Its like a riggers' belt. You just wear it around your waist not through the loops. This is not the first time I've seen a review like this. THESE MEN HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OR HOW THESE BELTS ARE USED.

[@HarleyWood23]

You obviously didn't read the product description. It specifically mentions that it will fit through belt loops. Know what you're talking about before you pop off at the mouth. www.tacticalholsters.com/product/BELTS/ASB_175_Belt.html

[@doncastle8751]

And this right here is why why everything from crayons to milk have warming labels. Seriously, dude. Put on your bicycle helmet, grab some rice cakes, and go to Walmart and lick car windows.

[@marcuswhite6072]

How would this work on a battle belt?? Do i need to size up or get the same size as the battle belt?

[@HarleyWood23]

Marcus White that's actually my plan for it. It doesn't work for me as an EDC. I'm going to get the VTAC Battle Belt and combine them. I'll review it once the battle belt is in-hand.

[@marcuswhite6072]

HarleyWood23 10-4 let me know if its a good buy!!

[@marcuswhite5856]

Update its in your best interest to to go up in the belt size battle belt Large/ tac belt XL!

[@headspace8338]

SOE has a video titled, belt rant and knowledge. It's kinda harsh, but may be helpful.

[@HarleyWood2A]

yeah. i've seen it. John is a character, for sure.

[@hermanmulyawan6436]

@harleywood23 thank you very much for the review...I'm looking for EDC belt right now and doesn't know the difference about these belt ,especially the weaknesses until you showed in this review...can you give suggestion about the most comfortable EDC belt in the market right now ?

[@HarleyWood23]

Herman Mulyawan Honestly, these cobra buckles are very uncomfortable and bulky. I've been wearing the Stormrider Gear Overlord for about a year now. I love it. Check out my review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5SyZXSjgceso5Y

[@remingtonsiefkas2458]

This is supposed to be worn outside of pants not through your belt loops

[@HarleyWood23]

Remington Siefkas Read their website before commenting. Says designed to be worn either way.

[@bondmanjbd]

Don't buy the cobra buckle belts then. Don't put the belt through the center loop. It ain't gonna go anywhere

[@wadepage7809]

Great review. Kudos for the honesty.

[@cjr.5028]

There it is some other tactical swat shit greatest line I've heard all year

[@679iceman]

Special operations equipment belts period

[@HarleyWood23]

Why? What makes them any better?

[@679iceman]

I guess it's a preference thing. I've used my belts in numerous classes and every time I leave the house and I haven't even noticed a strain come undone. To be honest I agent had anything fall apart from them and I've put them through hell. Not saying this belt isn't a great rig because it looks nice.

[@679iceman]

They all use the same materials same buckles and the only difference is sizing.

[@l3arrett82]

HarleyWood23 i have the s.o.e. low profile edc. i dont see how a belt could be better. i carry a stealth gear onyx and a cz p-07 on it.

[@HarleyWood23]

l3arrett82 for the most part, all these manufacturers use the same "scuba" webbing, and cobra buckles. Unless the others aren't sewn as well, there isn't a lot of room for SOE to be superior.

[@jaredh1657]

Thanks for the review. Won’t be getting that shit

[@socomelite1]

Dude. Just fold the tail onto itself then feed it through your loops

[@stevesmith1526]

its a pain in the ass because youre not using it right. Its not a regular belt, it is not supposed to go through the belt loops

[@HarleyWood23]

Steve Smith Steve Smith Yes it is. Website even says it can be used through belt loops and shows pictures of it being used as such.

[@kurtnaugle]

if you had a inner belt you wouldn't have that problem. with the belt loops that is!

[@HarleyWood23]

Thanks for the feedback Kurt. There have been some similar comment threads about exactly that. Thanks for watching.

[@JEJAK5396]

Volund Gear Works. Best. Belts. Ever.

[@skiendog]

I lost it at Tactical SWAT Shit! Have you tried The Belt Man? He doesn't make "tactical SWAT shit" fabric belts, but his leather belts are nice. I can't wear "tactical SWAT shit" fabric belts with what I have to wear everyday, though. So, his leather belts are a better solution for me.

[@agilland743]

fold that flimsy piece over the part that catches.

[@MrJadams27]

inner Velcro belt, problem solved.

[@HarleyWood23]

There's a long comment thread about that already. This one has loop Velcro and won't pair with the inner belts since they also have the loop Velcro.

[@renecarbonell240]

Just buy a Cobra belt from Vedder's everything has been worked out!!!

[@johnklabechek8470]

get an inner belt....

[@jeffrowilliamson5162]

get the velcro belt lmfao

[@HarleyWood23]

read the comments. lmfao

[@mike2x2x]

Any reason all you guys need this quick release belt buckle other than... well I just don't know. You guys are all be prepared right???? Huh. Why have all those moving parts that can fail. Harleywood23 thank you for this vid and i agree with you.

[@HarleyWood23]

for every day use, i don't really see the need. In fact, i just released a video on another belt and directly discuss these stupid buckles. See here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5SyZXSjgceso5Y

[@roxyg6744]

not really a need, but a "nice to have". 1) Bathroom breaks, the buckle keeps the belt on your pants, even with weight on the belt. 2) Need a break for a minute while your driving or seated or whatever, open the buckle discreetly, and re buckle later also discreetly. 3) once you find the sweet spot for tension, you don't need to undo everything, for a bathroom break just re-buckle and it's right back where you had it.

[@ares2067]

Ma dude. Go to www.browncoattactical.com and check out their EDC belt. I just got mine, and it's flawless.

[@JMIXALOT31]

get yourself a fobus holster with a paddle , problem solved.

Good product, but the customer service at G-Code SUCKS. You can't get them on the phone and they don't reply to emails. If you're buying the product, don't buy direct. Terrible experience.
