Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary advantage of using an inner and outer belt system for a firearm rig?

An inner and outer belt system, typically connected by Velcro, ensures that your holster and magazine pouches remain in the exact same position every time you put on your gear. This consistency is vital for muscle memory and efficient drawing during competition or tactical scenarios.

How does the GX Products Vice holster offer adjustable retention?

The GX Products Vice holster features a lever mechanism called the 'vice' that adds tension to hold the firearm securely. This retention can be adjusted to be very tight or looser, allowing the user to tailor it for different shooting disciplines or to prevent accidental dislodging.

What makes aftermarket holster hangers beneficial for competition rigs?

Aftermarket holster hangers, like those from Henning Group, provide extensive adjustability for cant, height, and distance from the belt line. This customization is crucial for optimizing draw stroke, comfort, and ensuring compliance with specific competition rules regarding holster placement.

What are the key features of CR Speed and T-Rex Arms magazine pouches?

CR Speed pouches are known for durability and adjustable retention with inserts for different magazines. T-Rex Arms Mars Carriers are a more budget-friendly option that attaches via systems like Blade Tech's Tech Lock, offering adjustable cant through pre-drilled holes.
