There are a number of reasons to invest in a high quality external tactical gun belt and I am not talking about the kind that just keep your pants up or hold your CCW holstered gun. This article focuses on an extremely high quality gun belt from Tac Shield which can be worn over clothes and your clothing belt or used as a high strength rigid belt for your pants.
The Tac Shield Gun Belt is very similar to many of the other top quality gun belts on the market with a high strength sturdy webbing, double clasp buckle and a flexible velcro adjustment system to accommodate changes in clothing and … well, let’s face it weight change.
There are some aspects of the Tac Shield belt I like a bit better than other belts I have tested. The quality is exceptionally high with a quality Heavy-duty 2,000 lb. aluminum buckle with Double Release Levers, tough 1.5” double-wall 7000lb Mil-Spec webbing, and the velcro adjustment was easy and secure to use.
The Tac Shield Gun Belt is not a glorified EDC (Every Day Carry) belt for your pants. One feature I like is that the entire belt is reinforced with a special polymer stiffner which greatly increases the load capabilities of the belt. The stiffener is also one reason I would not wear it daily as an EDC belt. It could serve that duty, however from my opinion after testing is that the Gun Belt is just too stiff and thick in addition to screaming “shoot me first I am the tactical guy with a gun”.
I highly recommend everyone with an AR15 and pistol complete some type of “extra” training each year to keep your skills sharp. On of my annoyances on my first training was that I was not particularly comfortable with a holster and two pistol mag pouches and a rifle pouch hanging from my tactical riggers belt laced through the loops on my 5.11 tactical pants.
LAG Tactical Battle Buddy - Mag Carrier |
What is a Gun Belt without holsters and pouches. I tested the belt both with just my LAG Tactical “The Defender” holsters for my H&K VP9 and Glock G17 pistols along with LAG’s “Battle Buddy” Single pistol and AR rifle mag carrier. The belt with only the LAG holster and Battle Buddy configuration netted a simply and easy light weight tactical pistol and AR15 rig which could support single reload drills or perhaps a hunting trip into the field.
For more comprehensive support of multiple firearm magazines, Tac Shield also manufactures some very high quality Universal Magazine Pouches. My Tac Shield Double Universal Rifle Pouch will hold (4) M16 Mags, (2) AK47 Mags, (4) SMG Mags, (2) M14/FAL Mags or (2) SF 60RD Magazines so that if I want to train with my AK47, I can all without changing the pouches. The same goes for the Tac Shield Double Universal Pistol Pouch which will hold pretty much any typical single or double stack magazine.
