Frequently Asked Questions

How should a tourniquet holder be positioned on a war belt?

A belt-mounted tourniquet holder should be positioned at the 12 o'clock position on your war belt. This placement ensures easy ambidextrous access, a critical safety consideration learned from injured shooter courses.

What is the correct way to mount HSGI Duty Tacos to prevent them from sliding?

To prevent HSGI Duty Tacos from sliding, you must use the provided screws. These screws lock the pouch directly into the belt's webbing, creating a secure attachment that prevents movement during dynamic activities.

Why is a leg strap important for a tactical holster?

A leg strap on a tactical holster helps prevent the holster from flipping upwards during dynamic movements, such as drawing the firearm, climbing, or engaging in strenuous physical activity. This ensures a consistent and secure draw.

How should gear selection for a war belt be approached?

Gear selection for a war belt should be mission-dictated. Consider the specific requirements of your activity, whether it's competitive shooting like the Tactical Games or law enforcement duty, and avoid carrying unnecessary items.
