IPSC Belt

[mildot]

I've been out of the IPSC game for awhile but I'm getting back into the TDSA at Silverdale. Anyone use this style of belt and there comments?
good/bad?

I only used CR Belt very rigid to hold the gear in place.....

As per current IPSC rule book; ...."The belt or inner belt or both must be either permanently fixed at the waist, or secured with a minimum of 3-belt loops."

I second what Dansy said, velcro belts with inner & outer belt like CR belts are advisable. However, if the belt in the picture does not have a velcroed inner and outer belt, for you to use that in IPSC, you are required to use a minimum of 3-retainers/belt loop in order for the belt to be secured around your waist while you are moving around engaging the course of fire.

I would only buy the CR Speed belt....great flexibility when taking breaks to beable to remove it in a snap, very rigid on the waist.

My wife just made herself two pairs of IPSC pants for women where they can wear the belt around the hips. She bought some khaki's/BDU's and when hemmed allowed her to make up 5 loops per pair of pants.... I just stuck to regular khaki's....

So can some one tell me why women can wear the gun and holster around thier hips and not in the same place as the men ??

its and IPSC rule. Women have different bone placement than men.

The reason being is that women's beltline is way higher than men's beltline and it will not be practical for women to holster their gun and magazine way too high. .... I am talking about women's style of pants before the hip huggers came out. I guess when they made this rules women pre-dominantly wear pants with beltline goes way up over the belly button-just bellow their b00bs. I am sure some of you can picture the style of belt line I am talking about.... Damn.. if IPSC does not give this exception to women shooters......imagine if you are a Lady shooter.. how challenging it would be to draw your gun just underneath your armpit .....
just my 2-cents
