Hero's Pride Duty Belt

[@brandonj5997]

I've always loved the "thunk" hollow sound that molded cases make when snapped. It's such a robust noise.

[@amaurydc]

I love your channel! I'm a police officer here in Brazil. Fraternal hugs!

[@GamerGateVeteran]

After a long time of nylon gear, Ive finally made my mentor proud and invested in buying a nice $90 Dutyman brand Sam Browne belt and the gear to go with it, as a sort of mini celebration for earning my first service stripe. I gotta say, I never really cared for the look much with the nickel plated "silver" buckle and snaps, but with the gold buckle and accents matching my gold badge and fancy gold buttons on my uniform and my gold collar brass...goddam, every time I put my uniform on and check myself out in the mirror before heading out the door, I feel fucking professional lol.

Hey Tommy! I'm currently in field training 25% phase. I'm going back through a lot of your video library.

[@doorman2207]

I know my Bianchi belt can be cleaned, protected and polished up with some armor all orange wipes followed up with a cloth. I have a feeling that would work on this also to clean it and keep it looking good.

[@jaymze122]

Switched to nylon belt and pouches with a Velcro under belt. Never going back. It's super light, no brass to maintain and I need zero keepers. Even with all the gear on it, it doesn't sag or shift.

[@chaweevankerth2789]

Nice duty belt and pouches Heros Pride Air teck very nice. I been using Safariland basket weave Sam Brown belt 94 and pouches for 17 years now. It wore away and ripped so I replaced everything one last time before retirement. I went with Bianchi accumold Elite duty belt but all Safariland basket weave pouches again. Our Dept. In Wisconsin Allows basket weave and plane black and that's all.

[@gordonadams4793]

Finally!! Someone who explained how to use a Sam Browne.

[@douglasspende6685]

Hero pride had nice duty belts and pouches that look like real Safariland Sam Brown Belt. I have a Bianchi basket weave elite duty belt on. I have all my Safariland Basket weave pouches on it. If the Hero Pride comes in the buckles 94 series. I would get it. Great set up and video.

[@jeremiah4509]

I’ve had three different Air Tek duty belt. 2 out of 3 started to ripping near the taser holster and my gun holster. Other then that they are great duty belt. My first duty belt I outgrew. the other duty belt and started ripping I still have that one in service.

[@TracerBullet100]

That ASP flashlight is made for low intensity use. Drop it once or twice from less than 6 ft and it will stop working consistently or stop working all together.

[@karnage7874]

I use leather dye after a light scuffing and then leather sheen to make it look brand new.

[@1968shinobi]

Your always on point !

[@MedicRNMike]

Love the Browning HP mags. Wish that pistol could be carried.

[@armedsecurityofficer8419]

The only brand I use so far is Safariland and zero9 holster . So for the best 👌

[@belladonna442]

Tommy! Will you consider reviewing the Alien Gear Rapid Force Duty Holster? Imo its a great option that ive been using in security as a replacement to my old 6360, although not quite as retention oriented

Can you go over a lunch guide, specifically to be healthy and easy to make and eat when you don't have any appliances to heat food?

[@brushemteeth9159]

Would be nice to see some suggestions for people like me with a 30'' waist. I don't have the real estate on my belt for all the things that you have on yours. Already now I can't even keep my back area clear.

[@jeanniesoriano2726]

Thanks

[@copindustry2.097]

Love it wish I had that dude belt

[@zachbridwell560]

Is airtek lighter than nylon duty gear?

[@joshkidd4427]

Hey, just come across your channel looking for reviews for duty belts. Ironically enough, I find your channel the same time I become a security officer in Poplar Bluff Mo, also a major fan of LE, but I was wondering if you could on your opinion of cops that get a big head doing their job, or let the job get to their head. Possibly do a video on it would be awesome. Also thank you for your service.

[@colinofay7237]

Do police get a budget to buy their own equipment like this? Or are they issued a typical set of equipment from providers that is already decided on by the station? Or can police buy their own stuff and use it, such as different branded cuffs/guns/baton?

[@howtogetdisowned7478]

It varies. Some departments don't even provide the belt.

[@BluAnimal]

It’s going to depend entirely on the department as they all have vastly different policies. In my experience you’ll be supplied almost all of the gear and there is policy on what you can and cannot carry and how it will be carried. Depending on the department you may be allowed to carry a personal backup gun or a patrol rifle.

[@copindustry2.097]

It depends on the dapartment

[@downrangefuture6493]

My first department provided everything. All we could change was the belt. My current department doesn’t provide anything other than a duty weapon, but I can have whatever I want, as long as it’s legal.

[@Halloyaw11]

My local PD issues everything. They’ll let you smack a light on your service weapon but that’s it. Wont even let you change the belt lol.

[@DougSpende-eb2fz]

Nice stuff. MY SAFARILAND Sam Brown came in a few days ago. Looks great, but they gave me the buckle belt by mistake. I ordered the 94 belt in basket WEAVE. IT took 6 weeks to come in? WTF! My Captain and 2nd shift Lt. Kept asking me every week for 6 weeks. Hay dougie, has your new belt come in yet?! Then they would smile?! Lol. The manager at Streichers asked me if I could wait and he would call SAFARILAND and correct the package! I go 6 more weeks? I go NOT A FAT CHANCE IN HELL GIVE ME THE BUCKLE BELT! LOL. I WORE IT TO WORK THE NEXT NIGHT! MAN EVERYONE INCLUDING BOTH DETECTIVES WERE CLAPPING AND YELLING HAY HAY OUR BOY GOT HIS NEW BELT IN. THE LT. SAYS HAY, GUYS? LOOK AT THAT DON'T HE LOOK PRITTY?! WHAT EVER LOL.

[@darreldalton3903]

One of my gripe I had with bianchi accumold fake leather in bw I started using that as a sro . It wouldn't hold up just about every pouch would start doing that fraying at the edges in fairly short time so I went with real leather bw haven't had a issue. However heroes pride has cought my interest good video . I'll show my age I to remember the pager box

[@alexgaming2646]

Yo I’m a police explorer and have a similar belt with the same buckle. It keeps coming loose from those two hooks and moving side to side, any tips on that please?

[@Firsir]

Not a massive fan of leather belts. If people are looking for a spray holder though, Peter Jones make a great one.

[@alexmchaggis37]

Love my Peter Jones holster and it fits Fox OC perfectly

[@elviraarriaga1424]

Does it hurt wearing those Police duty belts with all that equipment while running after people?

[@williamalexander1863]

Depends on you level of fitness. I'm 50. I'm not running if you are in taser distance! Lol

[@timoanez4668]

Man that took me back to when l was a rookie 18 years ago, when a patrol officer's uniform look professional and it was simple, now they carry everything but the kitchen sink. Thats a good belt man.

[@awmperry]

Still looks professional, but as the remit and toolbox expands more kit is needed. On my belt, for instance, the only things I've never used are the two things - baton and cuffs - that I'm legally required to carry. The weight is from the capacity multipliers (torches, tools, water bottle carrier, first aid kit and so on) that I need daily to do my job.

[@timoanez4668]

@@awmperry I keep it simple stupid, l switched to nylon because is lighter and easy to replace, 2 spare pistol mags, radio, 3 sets of handcuffs because you may have multiple suspects of a really large guy, a small flashlight that fits in my pocket, baton, and pistol, l don't carry a taser or OC spray, l carry water but stays in my car, l carry a suppressed MK18 in my car with a go bag with spare AR and pistol mags, my medical kit is on my ankle, and a lasso in my truck because l work in South Texas. All the extra stuff stays in the car, l carry what l need. Sounds like you got way to much stuff man you need to cut back on some.

[@ironmatic1]

@@awmperry Never used cuffs 🤔

[@awmperry]

@@ironmatic1 Yup. My point is about kit being adapted to the task; regulations for my role are issued by the police, and they require me to carry baton and cuffs. Under Swedish law, however, handcuffs are to be used when needed (and constantly reassessed) rather than applied by default with every arrest - and when arrests, let alone violent ones, have so far been rare at my posting (fingers crossed), there’s simply never been a need for either of the two. My torches and Wave tool, on the other hand, get used almost daily. My radio holders are in constant use. My water bottle holder is always stocked. Even my first aid kit gets used every few weeks. A nearly empty belt shouldn’t be a virtue in itself, but a belt suited to the task should.

[@awmperry]

@@timoanez4668 You’re carrying way more than I am, mate. :-) Nylon is my preferred belt style for exactly the reasons you describe. We don’t carry firearms, so we don’t need mag pouches and stuff. Most of our posts aren’t vehicle-based, so it’s all got to be on me. You work with what you’ve got. :-)

Find a local leatherworker at a craft show or farmer's market. It has its own unique scent.

@@Valorius You cannot just take single scenarios over the entire history of America and say that somehow represents a group of over 750,000 people.
