Help with USPSA rig

[Dean C.]

What class are you wanting to shoot? Production is relatively straightforward limiting what holsters and magazine pouches you can use, move into say Limited and then adjustability options really open up gear wise.

Personally I LOVE my Double Alpha Alpha X rig but it is expensive (I think the total even after a couple discounts was $400+)

Also what makes a good belt? They range in price but I'm not sure what to look for in a good belt

Good belt at fair price, in my opinion. Also if you belong to the Brian Enos forum (free to join) , shooters connection gives you a discount on several items.

This belt is the least expensive one out there and is built like a tank. It is stiffer than any others I have tried. Price is unbeatable. You saw this on my Limited gun rig at the match the other day.

I won this belt in a drawing. Not as stiff as DA or Guga Ribas.

If you are smaller than a 52
I have a competion belt that will work for you.
I don't remember the brand.
The price will be free

While we are on the subject, anybody ever figure out competition friendly suspenders?
I think I could cut a couple seconds off my stage times if I didn't have to stop and pull my pants up. Maybe there is a technique that works on the move that would help.

Rhino has them figured out
I'll see if i can send him this way
Seriously
I have two belts , they are 50 not 52
Cutting them down to size isn't a problem.

biggest thing ive found is a pair of pants that fit correctly. i keep my inner belt fairly tight, and make sure the outer is secured to the velcro all the way around.

i run a single stack, and carry 6 mags, i attached a square of velcro to the back of the mag carriers so nothing moves.

I use Perry suspenders:

(Dickies has apparently licensed/imitated/stolen their patent):

Other than the clips taking up space on the belt, the only problem I've had is that they eventually stretch out too much. I'd like to find some that aren't made of elastic one of these days, but I may have to re-use the Perry belt clips and make my own out of nylon or cotton (GI sling) straps.

I’ve been following this thread and I took the plunge with a DAA rig.

What drew me to them was their mag pouches. I shoot SS and I have limited real estate around my waist, so good mag pouches that can turn bullets out was a necessity.

My biggest piece of advice is learn the rules of your class. No reason to buy super expensive equipment if you can’t even use it.
