War Belt set up for real combat

[@thefirespectrum]

You can put a war belt on in your underwear in a few seconds. You can put a war belt on over layers of winter clothing. You can hand it to anyone of roughly the same size and they can wear it over whatever you they're wearing. You can take it off before dropping a deuce in a porta-potty. That's the day-to-day stuff people forget about.

I really appreciate your humble attitude. It’s refreshing to see someone who doesn’t have to display their intellect and skills through arrogance but rather through experience. It’s also a pleasant surprise that you elect to keep the language clean so I can watch with my children around. Thoroughly enjoying the content, looking forward to more videos. The history of the 1911 and glock in combat were 2 of my favorite. Would also like to see a video on your thoughts to what’s happening in the world and how you feel men should be spending their time in light of such.

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

First, Thank You I'm glad you like my content. I do swear alot when not on camera (byproduct of 26 years in the Army)! I am hesitant to comment on current events and things like that, I feel that with not being there in person (this applies to anything) I dont want to armchair quarter back things. I know what happens in a firefight on the ground in person can look totally different from a different point of view such as drone footage, pics, video. I can only hope to pass on my experiance in such things in my videos, and maybe that will help others in similar situations.

While my time was always as an OCONUS MP or DOD police, I had to wear a fully loaded duty belt all day of my shift. Most of my coworkers had shifted to the inner/outer combo but I always preferred the older belt keepers. The few guys that did wear them as well eventually switched to the Velcro system because they only wore 4 clips. 6-8 is really what is necessary to keep everything in place. Yes it’s bulky, yes it’s a pain in the rear to take on and off just to go use the restroom, but it was more about security than speed. My academy (even as a prior MP on the very installation I’m working then as a civilian I had to go back to FLW) put us through the fight ring in full gear. Those students that used the inner/outer or that only used 4 clips had one thing in common at the end of the fight: their gear was never where it was when they started the match. By the end their duty belt was backwards, up in their armpits, gear was moved around, or had been completely lost, thus losing retention of their weapons and tools. Those of us that followed the school house teaching of 8 minimum snaps and preferably one on either side of of every piece of gear had everything in place. Later in my patrol career even small skirmishes with a noncompliant individual oftentimes had the officer’s gear all jacked up. We’d have to do a police call just to get his flashlight, baton, OC spray, etc… Another plus is that you can still use suspenders with the snap system!

As an airsofter it's always refreshing to see what is used by the ones who used this for real. I found myself eventually getting multiple items but stuck to the a 2piece combat belt and a war belt as shown here. Both for the same reason of comfort ease of reach and being able to take it off without practically stripping naked.

[@Argentum7756]

As a casual USPSA competitor shooter who often takes vacations in the form of gun classes I have to say that the ease of donning a war belt v.s. Inner/Outer cannot be understated. I hate velcroing crap on, it takes forever and I am impatient. I love my HSGI slim grip belt and having the option of wearing it outside of a coat when training in crap weather is also nice.

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

[@Goldenwithaleash]

I spent a lot of time and money figuring out what belt system worked for me and I ended up with two. An HSGI Slim war belt and a Blue Alpha inner/outer. The HSGI is pretty slick with its 2 rows of molle instead of the standard 3. It works for me.

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

HSGI makes good stuff

[@j.n.8745]

Suspenders are a must for me. For LEO, the inner and outer belt are worn with keepers. I added the suspenders about 8 years ago and never looked back.

[@Swiat34]

When I transitioned from the Marines to working as a prison supervisor, I wore a nylon duty belt that mated with a Velcro trouser belt. I found that I still needed to use belt keepers to keep things together without squeezing myself to utter pain. Over time, the weight of the duty belt began causing pain in the sides of my hips and above my buttocks. Turns out, this is a problem that LEOs have dealt with for years which causes nerve damage over time. This is where the duty belt pads and padded duty belts came into the scene. Those weren’t allowed with our uniform, however. So as I built up my gear and found my place as a “deplorable,” “militant” civilian, I went with a First-Spear AGB sleeve over a duty belt. I haven’t looked back since. The comfort and prevention of long-term injury really solidify the “war belt” as THE right choice for that kind of set up. Now, if you’re only carrying a pistol, couple mags, and a light, a inner/outer duty belt combo is great. It’s when you start adding a rifle mag or two, IFAK, dump pouch, multi-tool, restraints, etc that you really should be using a war belt.

[@dib0018]

Thank you for you're real world input.

So glad I found this channel. I am a righty with a rifle and a lefty with handguns (opposite of your situation). Its nice to see how somebody in a similar situation set up their kit.

[@catlee8064]

My belt kit during Iraq/Afghan was simple, ammo, water, med pack. Thats all you need on the belt, maps/pens/markers on chest rig along with mags for rifle and pistol. Radio on the rig aswell. Nothing flashy as the issue stuff we had was good enough with abit of home adjustment. Had a small swivel mount attached to the right shoulder of the chest rig to clip my rifle into (hated the issue sling) That will sort you for a small patrol/village clearance.

[@EverydayMarksman]

No joke, I was eyeballing that ATS belt not 10 minutes before I saw you posted this. Thinking how to set something up for my wife, and ATS is one of the only few making small enough sizes for women. Great point about the stiffness factor for the inner/outer. I recently took a heavy riggers belt and ran it through an HSGI Duty Grip pad, so it's basically duty belt config that rides like a battle belt. I quite like it so far.

[@SlimRhyno]

As a civilian military historian the value of these first-hand accounts cannot be overrated. Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@spencer7197]

I am a little late to the party but this is top tier content. Humble and experience driven. Speaking of belts though I gotta say I became a more of a fan of the battle belt v. the two piece systems when I was still serving. Sure two piece belts are more stable and don't move around on ya but that hook velcro on the edges would always find a way to irritate me. Also I found it slower to put it on. Padded battle/war belts were always faster to throw on. Also, dont need to worry about running that inner loop belt on your pants. Hell, with the war belts you didnt even need pants. That being said it is 100 percent a personal preference thing and at the end of the day we were/are just trying to carry easily accessible stuff on our hips. Many a way to skin that cat. Edit: I did rock a two piece belt for a training exercise lasting several weeks and I can confirm it sucks (cannot emphasize this enough). I never again rocked one. Went with a padded belt for the rest of the time while I was in. Ran a high-speed gear belt for deployment and never looked back.

[@philc6671]

Thanks for your videos. I appreciate your straightforwardness and humble approach. The absolute best inner/outer I’ve used in the last 27 years is the Lead Devil. They are made in LA. Owned/operated by a former LAPD Metro dude. I use two at work and they’re extremely rigid. I sent one to my son who took it to Afghanistan. Now he won’t wear anything else.

Thank you so much! I am left eye dominant and right handed - Lefty on a rifle and righty with a pistol also and wanted to know how to set up my belt right.

[@88yellowjacket]

I am also right handed pistol and lefty with a rifle guy... right hand dominate / left eye dominate. Good to see a set up for me. thank you

[@DHBucsFan]

I am also a lefty with a rifle, so I appreciate the setup here, don't see too many videos by shooters at your level who shoot left-handed. I am completely ambidextrous with a pistol however which gives me a lot of freedom when it comes to where I mount my pistol, I do however like to keep my secondary firearm on my left side, since my right hand is used to feeding my rifle, it's practical to be consistent with that for my pistol. So normally I'll wear my pistol on my left, I also prefer a drop-leg, and while I have my eye on the HSGI Taco pistol pouches, I currently have three Emdom USA pistol mag pouches, one open-top for my speed reload, and the other two covered so hopefully I don't lose those two if I take a tumble. Unfortunately here in Canada, the Push Dagger is illegal, but in 2020 I did pick up a HBB CCK-01 Compact Clearance Knife as my last, last resort edged weapon. I'm a bit of a GGG (Grey Ghost Gear) fanboy, so my current belt is a UGF belt, however, I recently lost 20lbs. and three inches off my waist, so I am looking for a new belt as I now need a Medium, and my UGF is a Large. Open to lefty-friendly kit recommendations, and to any Cdn retailers as shipping time/costs for most US brands can sometimes nearly double the cost of an order!

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

Thats crazy no push daggers? Plus before Canada went nuts with gun laws, you were able to get some pretty cool guns up there. As far as being a fan boy of certain products, nothing wrong with that.

Great and informative video. I was never a huge belt fan and often carried most of my kit on my body armor and a chest rig, but when I did run a belt, I absolutely preferred a good war belt. At the time I really likes the Eagle Industries War belt, it was the height of Gucci in 2007 lol.

[@almartin9500]

I gotta agree, the inner outer is a great way for short term use. Wear around the FOB, or vehicle work. I see the ArborArms SALT belt. One thing I like about it is the MOLLE panels are set up so that the entire inner belt doesn’t have to be taken apart to switch one item out. For longer patrols/“recce’s”, tried and true ALICE styled kit, but upgraded.

[@MisterE495]

[@danielbowman7226]

As civilian "prepper" I find the Vietnam era war belt more appealing. A) precious magazines are well protected against elements B) buttpack gives me better chance of survival if I lose the main pack C) it has WATER!!! in two separate containers - the most important ingredient for anything. If I find myself in a situation where I roll in vehicles, kick in doors and then go back to camp in one day or be on range, sure, I would prefer the modern operator belt kit.

[@CzechSixTv]

You can set a modern belt up the same way. A padded MOLLE belt sleeve paired with an H harness will carry everything an ALICE rig can. While not as cheap as surplus ALICE pouches, which are getting harder to find in good shape, Velocity systems and others do make MOLLE compatible "jungle" magazine pouches that have a similar full top closure with upgraded buckles. Don't get me wrong, I still have an ALICE kit(with a Blackhawk pad for comfort). My HSGI Sure-Grip and riggers belt are better in every way though. The neoprene lining makes it stay put even over a parka or other outerwear and I can quickly slide the inner belt out to use with my lighter loaded Slim-grip sleeve. No more fiddling with 40 year old ALICE clips to change configurations.

[@corporaterobotslave400]

@18:21 The true sign of a veteran warrior is that they can take a nap anywhere, any time. I was using a warbelt (Condor) but after a while it feels heavy and restricts my hip movement, even with suspenders, so I recently switched to a stiff outer belt but without any loud velcro inner belt. I wear it over my hips with less gear on it than my warbelt while patrolling the 40 acres; so far so good.

[@shrapmagnet]

I'm pretty short and not too thick- suspenders are a must for me cause without them either the belt will be too tight or so loose I would snake out of it. Before suspenders I would only wear my holster and pistol mag pouch on my regular rigger belt, but with the BFG suspenders I can put more on the belt and be comfortable. I also learned a lesson with those black nylon pistol belts we got issued for so long- those belts had plastic buckles and a guy's belt buckle had a crack in it- when he moved a certain way the buckle failed and the whole thing fell OFF but was still hanging off his foot by the holster strap. If he had been wearing suspenders, at least he would have still had all his stuff attached to him. Also comfortable in an aircraft to pop that buckle and just let it all ride on the suspenders. My first "war belt" was the belt section cannibalized from a standard issue 1st gen US army MOLLE camo vest, BTW. I always liked the hood safarilands, and I prefer the cop type holster adaptors for the belt- although I did use the drop leg in training just for the speed for evals, then I went to the belt attachment (yes, I cheated Jeff). I always kept my left cargo pocket empty and open for a dump pouch. I kept my PVS14 on my body armor in a padded pouch I found out later was designed to store the ACOG scope. I normally kept 1 pistol mag on my belt and 2 on the chest area of my body armor. I kept my multi tool on my breach bag doing DA missions, for S-O/sneaky type patrolling I had a multi tool in its pouch attached to the sheath of my knife (SRK). I also kept a small surefire on my war belt.

[@alvaroeloredo]

Great stuff. The warbelt is the way to go for me as well.

[@lincolnpascual]

If you wear the inner/outer higher up on the waist as opposed to on the hips, a lot of that pressure is taken away (at least in my experience). When I go rucking or backpacking, I wear my first line sometimes just to see if I'll be miserable wearing it for extended periods. Did a week across the Appalachians once, honestly didn't even notice it. Oh, it also helped me using specific pants. Pants with the Crye cut seem to work better for me, cause everything is just a bit tighter to the body and my pants don't sag at all.

[@2crakd]

Crye has the MRB which is a inner/outer belt design but with combat in mind, so the luxury of a full size war belt but with the sturdiness of a inner/outer. I know a lot of the new gen SF/MSOC guys wear those. As a civilian, that would be my choice of belt type for SHTF. I feel the Senshi or Vtac Raze style belts are good for flat range or LEO work.

[@gregd8098]

[@bellicostevet1388]

I rocked my Grey Ghost with suspenders for Urban combat in Iraq but I did not load it up just bangers,frags,stun grenade, and pistol mags. I feel like in heavy daily combat you need suspenders. I was a breacher so I kept my demo sets on it as well and my demo tool pouch due to I only wore a belt no armor when disarming IEDS to keep myself slick no hang ups. I had single strap safariland also and dump pouch Wich I used to hold whatever charge I was about to use on doors and walls. All and a non conductive Leatherman. So I guess I did have ALOT of shit on there. I actually got in alot of fights just wearing belt because I wore it in OPs and disarming. It's crazy I also had a cold steel that saved my life. So alot of similarities to the host. I guess everyone settles on similar stuff in combat over time because it's what works especially the ALS and I used same exact NOD pouch as this man a Blackhawk and I don't even know if that's what it was for. I wish I had kiwi mags but I used a similar style open face retention Blackhawk mag pouch probably knowone remembers but they did it before kiwi with metal insert for retention. My two cents sorry didn't mean to ramble but thats what works this is a great video for those that don't know listen to this man you need to be comfortable as possible.

I also used drop leg holsters for 18 years. Mine were DeSantis and I wore them out / threadbare. Great in chairs or on patrol, jumping in and out of vehicles. I never liked the belt holster; it just grabbed anything and made it hard to move fast / smooth. I agree with the Velcro dislike, it just fails over time and loses grip. Its straps and clips for the long haul and latrine calls. God, forbid you fall in water, but you can get it off, so you do not drown, providing you do not panic first and follow the drill. Find what works for you, my setup / work habitat is not yours, test, test, and drill some more till its right for you.

I have currently on duty at pd the pant belt,inner slightly padded with outer molle i use with belt keeper to keep it from riding up when i sit .

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And thank you for your service sir. God bless

At 12:50 you can see a bullet hole in the rear of the truck which always tends to happen when doing vehicle drills. I laugh every time I see a friends truck with a bullet hole or two after they get back from training. Typically it's a matter of the optic sitting above the barrel enough to make the shooter believe they have cleared an obstacle.

[@brianleabo6295]

As I always say run what makes you comfortable and you’re good with. It's not a fashion show! And any things bad if you don't train with it !

Thank you for your service and thank you for this video it really helped me with my battle belt

[@TNPerBSSCommandoALIENCowboy22]

Great video. I can relate to the carrying/use of items that are not I style anymore.

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

15:31 inner/outer belt combo is fine for certain applications. My mother was a cop for 27 years and that's how they did it. When my father switched from active SF to 20th group he became a cop and same thing. Of course it was with those belt couplers and not Velcro and I did their same method when I got out and did security work. But actively running around like I'm back in Ramadi? No thanks. I don't like all the weight being on my hips. I'd rather wear a vest or even MOLLE with suspenders instead if I had a choice.

[@Esper320]

Still using a Crye low profile blast belt. Had the inserts keep some grenade frag out of my kidneys in Syria. I know it mostly sits in dudes d-bags but I love the molle honestly and the snug fit

[@Coppersaguaro]

Love the informative videos. Thanks.

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

Thank you!

[@ct2368]

I would take the suspenders over just the belt because they would be much more comfortable.

Being a civilian I went the inexpensive cobbled together amazon route. Used an old police leather belt inside the cheapo three molle war belt and put perfectly good cheapo amazon pouches on it. A two mag 9mm pouch I had sitting around on the right and a glock 26 on the left, being a lefty, in a safariland holster like yours but only attached to the als and just the belt loop hanger so its just below my belt no need for a drop leg. A no brand AR 3 mag pouch in front of that with a flashlight and folding knife in the pistol mag holders on the front of the AR pouch. One AR mag but I can hump 3 if I want to. I notice no ifak on your belts? Put a small amazon no brand ifak with north american rescue kit, tourniquet, scissors n chest wound stuff on the right behind the 9mm mag pouch and a big rolled up drop bag on the back so I can lay flat on my back if I have to. Going to buy a tourniquet holder to put it on my chest as suggested by Tactical Rifleman on youtubez. Actually belt is comfortable as it sits below the body armor and on my hips basically. I put a larger ifak rip away pouch on the back of one of my level IV body armor carriers and another AR 3 mag pouch on the front. Shopping for a good knife, couple more tourniquets and pouches and hope I will never have to use any of it. Sprang for level IV body armor, 10x12 plates, one FRAS set from Safelife and ShotStop Ballistic Body Armor, Duritium IV+HA Multi Curve plates that stop .308 and 30.06. Overkill for the latest stuff but if some idiot is firing an AK in the streets I may actually survive! I also have a concealed level IIIa + vest for when I'm just chauffeuring folks. The way things are going who knows what the globalists have in store for We The People here at home. More methed up woke idiots on the streets with their airsoft toys carrying real ARs.🤡

[@HowardLuken]

All black by the way. Doesn't make any sense to be using camo in the city.

I'm wishing I wouldn't have gotten IV ceramics, due to weight. Might build III PE, but don't trust the shelf life..

[@hostilegoat]

Body armor going over the suspenders I assume? I've got a nearly identical set up

[@johnmcpudding857]

Preferably yes. Doing it that way around allows you to ditch armor with ease without having to take off your belt. Unfortunately some suspenders have a nasty habit of rubbing you real bad when worn under armor. Though running suspenders with full blown superloaded belt kit over slick armor is pretty dank option.

[@sharting.zogbot1229]

With low profile suspenders, yes. The ones in this video are basically flat webbing

[@ordinary_american]

The show and tell and why behind each item is much appreciated! Always fantastic videos. Which the light pouch is that at 9:25? Thanks!

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

That is a surefire brand light holder I don't know if it's made anymore

[@stickfighter1038]

Good review. Got my old military setups and newer LEO belts that have served me well. For the job that pays the bills, I do a supervisor, mainly desk job. Nonetheless, I find myself considering acquiring a war belt.

[@alpc8539]

God bless you sir and your family and thank you for your service 🙏♥️

[@TruckinNpluckin2]

So I think I have it now. I come from the old Alice LBE days. The war belt seems to be good for CQCCQB urban environments in combat short duration. You would not want to wear one if you were doing any reconnaissance light infantry type work where you were out in the field for any amount of time. For that matter, you wouldn’t want to be wearing armor either. It’d be chest rig and a backpack type situation. Am I off-base here?I’ve been at the military for over 30 years. Thanks.

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

No war belt is good, nice and comfortable that's why I wore it on multi-day Ops.

[@mastodon24]

Can you touch on configuring your war/battle belt while wearing side plates? I’m almost gravitating towards a setup like yours (with suspenders) so I can float the entire rig low enough to clear magazines/side plates.

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

Side plates have no impact on my set up, I do have a gap between pouches on my right side of plate carrier, so I have nothing interfering with my draw.

[@LDR1100RS]

Jeff...thanks for your service to our country. I noticed in the 2015 in-country photos that you and your team mates worn Woodland BDUs. Would you address the reason?

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

Yes blend in with Afghans..they wore woodland

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

A very fine video. Because you shoot pistol right and rifle left, lease describe which eye you use for each. I don't understand how you do it so well. Thanks you.

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

Im left eye dominant

[@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo]

@@ModernTacticalShooting You function much better than most. Please make a video that addresses eye/limb dominance. You would be one of the best to discuss this. It might help a lot of shooters and certainly would be very interesting. And thanks for your reply and for your very educational videos. My best regards!

We used war belts for 40mm in the early days.
