Uncompromised Readiness through Technical Excellence.
It’s not a goal, it’s a starting point. It’s a backdrop to the mission where the canvas is filled with the shades of meticulous development and years of training. When the picture comes to focus, the faces of those we protect are etched out with testing, learning, reworking, and improving. It’s where experience and accolades meet devotion to the craft. It’s taking where others have fallen, respecting the paths they’ve walked, and promising to do better the next time.
Any situation, any mission, from the highest mountain to the lowest valley. See the need, create the solution, bring the best, and protect the weak.
The best ideas come from those who need them, so you’ll find designs by tireless innovators, built for relentless professionals. We create gear with the power to push the limits, then redefine the goal.
We are determined to innovate and proud to defend.
Welcome to the next generation of gear.

I like it!
wow what a cool belt. ~ 8 week lead time lmao.
Thanks for the information. At 9:45 are you saying “solder” like a soldering iron?
Sold out 😭😭
What light?
Left hand setup capable?
Problem, you cant hardly work on mechanics and marksmanship drills because the range is full of scared fudds. Second problem, cant find shoothouses in the area that arent LE only paid for by state funding.
When more classes??
Solid information man. Where are you guys located?
Sick build
I have been fortunate enough to have trained under a variety of instructors. The ones with the most 'hands on' experience have the same emphasis as this video (and they are few).
I feel attacked lol
@thinlinedefense
If the odds favor you NEVER having to "operate" in a CQB environment, then a 16" barrel is great for whatever you're doing-- including that .001% off-chance of you HAVING to do CQB
Amen and thank you Tim.
But Tim, Nick said that if I do the tactical walk and throw in a few hondo rolls, I'll be special something or something....
Groucho walk = tactical turtle 🐢
Good points!
I like the term "professionalism" when you discussed staying at low ready until the target is properly identified, but I think its more than that. A big part of that is proficiency and confidence. If you know you can get behind the gun and send off a couple well placed shots lightning quick, you'll feel more comfortable keeping your muzzle low longer.
100%. Proficiency and confidence are what people should get the most out of flat range trainings, hence the "up drill" but many people fail to achieve so to begin with. They forget any of that when stepping into 3D space and hold the rifles in front of their faces, because the lack of "proficiency and confidence" makes them feel they are never ready for a fight so they want to pose themselves in the most "ready" stance they know. I've seen guys stressing the hell out of themselves by doing the "tactical walk" and drenched in their own sweat wearing T shirts in 30F night.
@@RandomNylonGuy Exactly. That's what I try to instill in my students from the start: subconscious mastery of the fundamentals with conscious awareness of one's abilities. Obviously gunfights induce stress, but one should never be doubting thier abilities. That's exactly why we do so many repetitions in practice - not just to build proficiency, but the confidence that comes with it.
That’s right
I just got my belt and I'm confused why you wouldn't reverse the placement of the pad and the velcro loop piece. Doing it the way in the video makes a large portion of the pad go ontop of the excess main belt when donning on the front 0:25 . Wouldn't you want the pad against your body instead of the non-grippy placeholder?
why were out of breath this whole video
Ngl i can't get over how it looks
What placard is on this carrier
Buildable placard base (g-hook), flat pocket, single rifle mag placard expansion, single pistol mag placard expansion, zippered half pocket placard expansion, Velcro placard wrap, side ride wedge pouch, and side ride flashlight pouch.
We need a good fr balaclava in many patterns
I dont get it. So my pant’s size is 38? Do I order a 38? 😅 or what?
The community needs a affordable leaf balclava defense mechanisms!!!
What forend is that???
Customized Magpul
Gaaaahhhhhh damn you are pretty. Can't wait to see you at super.
Good video. What pouches are mounted to your case ?
The top is lined with Kit Organizer Bags, mounted with velcro. You can purchase them here: defensemechanisms.com/kit-organizer-bag/
Thank you for the advice, bro! I didn’t know waterproof socks exist. I’ll check it out right away!
SKB
Awesome, thanks. What box are you using?
Well presented video🙌 Just asking out of curiosity do you have a team doing your edits ?
Thats pretty cool
Now if only I could order a Molle back plate bag because Mines slick 🥲
Hit up customer service, they can get you squared away with a MOLLE rear bag.
I can deal with offset, can’t deal with the way the company runs its business
______/
But what if you made it recondite strap compatible for self access 🤔
👍
hey how did you attach the front M4 pouch sideways?
Ok, I'll be that guy...AK mags?
It fits 2 AR mags per pocket, or any other things that fit in pockets that hold 2AR mags
@@timmarshall3651 Hey there, little fella'. You did it!
@@Roberttwelve I checked yesterday and 2 5.45 mags do fit, it’s a bit tight. The flap is barely long enough so it’s prob not gonna work well with 2 AK mags.
@@timmarshall3651 I genuinely appreciate you checking, thank you! You never know with pouches, especially if you chose the weird AK path.
@@Roberttwelvewe have pouches dedicated to AK mags, but not as many options due to much lower demand.
I absolutely love this set up. I’ve been running it for close to a year and a lot of guys at the range have asked about it. Everything on my belt aside from my safariland holster is from DM. Got my email yesterday and my hearing protection pad should be here Friday. Can’t wait!
😳 w
I just wanted to say thanks for designing this belt, I’m a Leo at a large department and this is my duty belt. I’ve been wearing the belt for almost a year now. Overall great product. I came from a ronin and that belt does carry the load of the equipment slightly better but there’s zero give like you mentioned. My hips killed me after a shift, the mech is SO comfortable. I believe the mech is the best priced belt out rn. Keep crushing!
Out of curisosity, di you and Trex Arms work together to create this desisn? Their shooters belt is very similar to this one, and was interested if yall worked together or just so happened to have a very similar idea.
Brilliant! Keep up the innovating guys 🤙
Finally!!! A product that gets the tactical tummy 😂
Your products rock, especially your Mech Belt. I just looked down and realized I am wearing your inner belt as we speak lol
Does it hold 11x14 plates bc I’m ex NFL lineman (6’7 277)??
Our XL size is designed for 11x14 plates.
Got to try this out the other day. It's just not for me and I didn't notice a significant difference coming from my Unity 2.26. The way my grip is doesn't pose enough of an issue to warrant needing that extra hand space due to having a light and laser. Heads up shooting basically felt the same and I REALLY don't feel like going through hold overs again lmao. Great video boys!
Great video and important stuff to think about before a situation occurs!
