The "new and improved" duty belt picture thread!
 

I was going through the old duty belt thread today and saw that most of the pics don't work anymore...I guess GT prunes attachments after awhile...so I decided to start a new one.

Here goes:

I am probably near the top of the "gear queer" list. I just bought a nylon belt and pouches and have the following configurations: (all are from left to right)

Alright guys...post 'em if you got 'em!

And I'd recommend opening a photobucket account instead of eating up GT's server space with attachments.

:shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

NICE!!!!!

Looks like you gotta long way to go before you're a GQ. Still need a taser and cell phone holster as well.

That's ALOT of nice lookin' gear!

We've got M26s that pretty much make wearing my gear impossible...it rides in the center console. I long for an X26, because I could make it work. I don't carry my cell phone on my belt because I don't want to damage it...it rides above the visor.

I should point out if it isn't obvious that I have one basic leather belt and one basic nylon belt and just switch holsters and mag pouches.

LET'S SEE SOME PICS, GUYS!

:needspics:

What he's really thinking:


:supergrin:

It's a good thing I think you're okay, red.

<h2> SIR YES SIR!</h2>

Okay.........
The extra cuff i hook up with a keeper or extra smaller cuffcase. The baton goes IN the pants in a special sleeve in the left leg.

GEEZ, just looking over those belts makes my old back scream, glad I retired, always said we had to much junk on the belt.

Nah, nowadays we work out and don´t eat donuts the whole time.:rollsmiley:

I guess i'm the GQ with the cell phone holder :supergrin:


Actually everything pictured was issued to me with the exception of the flashlight pouch and G22.

VirtualDoom, if you promise it's not a BlackBerry or Treo you're still ok in my book.

I lucked out then, it's a Motorola :supergrin:

So I guess I've come to learn that VD really isn't GQ after all.

Did anybody see the article in the first issue of "American Cop" talking about excessive duty belt crap? They put a belt together with EVERYTHING on it...including a phone and blackberry and maybe some other stuff.

I saw it while I was in the academy, so I don't have a copy to scan.

Everything i have on my belt i use several times a week. I have it arranged so that it doesn´t bother me in the least.
It´s like wearing a vest. It´s heavy, cumbersome and warm. But you have it just for that one day in your life your life depends on it.

Being a small guy myself, I've got very limited room on my duty belt and it shows. Most of my coworkers often wonder why I've got two bags. Most of it simply has no room on my belt

Pardon my ignorance but do LEO have to buy all of their own gear?

Are you supplied with the minimum requirement and then if you want to upgrade than it is up to you?

DaBigBR's Kimber rig is just SWEET! That is very nice.

Some buy nothing.
Some buy some stuff.
Some buy all stuff.

Depends on the department.

Yea post some pictures of the Kimber please! I heard they are not worth the money. True?

Guilty here, I have a sprint Blackberry on my belt. It's in my locker at work so I dont have any pics.

Left to right:

GG Leather belt
GG Double mag pouch
GG OC Pouch (Freeze +P)
ASP
Motorola Radio/Holder
Surefire & holster
GG Cuff Case (Peerless Hinged)
Glove Pouch
GG Cuff Case (Peerless Chain)
Safariland Triple Retention (H&K USP .45ACP)


All issued with the exception of the hinged peerless cuffs and the surefire. Looks cramped, but it all fits together fine when it goes on. :cool:

I love the Kimber. There are a lot of people that don't like the series II firing pin safety, but that's fine...more guns for me.

I'll grab some pics of the kimber when my camera's batteries are recharged.

As far as buying stuff goes...I was issued some and bought some when I started. All the stuff I was issued was sub-par crap, so I replaced it all. Now the only thing that isn't mine is the radio (and the holder on my leather belt, but the one on the nylon is mine)
