We have it decked out with custom pouches from Grim Hunter Tactical Gear and esstac kywi mag pouches.
The RoNIN SENSHI is a 2 piece battle belt that uses and inner and outer belt system. The inner belt that comes with the setup is 2″ belt but I purchased the additional 1.5″ EDC belt so it would fit regular pants.
The outer belt is extremely study and very well made. I highly recommend this as a top tier belt. The molle webbing is extremely thick, unlike other belts. I go over tips and tricks for attaching gear to this belt to maximize its use on our Patreon page.
The belt is setup with a Safariland UBL mid ride and uses the safariland QLS system to attach all sorts of holsters. Without the QLS, you would lose a lot of functionality of being able to swap between belts. The knightfall customs holster with TEKlok makes this a fantastic choice for this type of setup.
The pouches included are the custom radio pouch from Grim Hunter Tactical. This pouch easily allows any pouch to be added to your first line gear. It is adjustable so you can fit a Baofeng with a regular or extended battery. I prefer an Alinco DMR so I can hit both digital and analog.
Grim hunter tactical also designed my medical pouch which is an enclosure for a standard 6×6 pouch. The medical enclosure has a tourniquet holder on the top, a velcro patch, and slots for pens, glowsticks, or medical devices. I love this setup because it sits flatter on my back and can be easily removed. I can take the medical kit off and throw it in a bag or just clip it right back into my belt in just a second. It’s also very easy to take off if you’re riding in a vehicle and you can toss your medical pouch in a cargo pocket.
The Grim tactical hunter dump pouch is amazingly well made and I love how compact it sits on my belt setup.
Grim Hunter also make a quick access tourniquet pouch that fits perfectly on the belt and stores a single CAT-7 tourniquet.
I also love their hearing protection wrap! Now I don’t have to worry about someone mistaking their ear pro for mine.

I found this video disappointing. Half of the video was just about your setup, and the other half was about the pros and cons about running an inner and outer belt. There was barely any information about the belt itself, compared to other belts. I wouldn't really call this video a product review
Yea...I cut out a lot of parts where I talked about my yard too
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo Damn, I was really curious about your yard.
I do agree, the contents of this video would have been better as a belt set up video, I wanna see a more in-depth review of the belt it’s self
@ThinLineDefenseCo ....his criticism is valid tho.
Just found your channel. You seem like a genuine dude and have a great character. Keep grinding and working hard for those subs. You got my sub
Haha thanks man! You definitely gotta earn every one. Please comment and let us know if there is gear or training you'd like to see. It'll probably give me an excuse to buy it lol
It takes me quit a while to buy this set up but it’s nice to see some ideas along the way. Nice work. Subbed to see more content. The grand kids alway get the money I save . The wife thinks it’s her money and I’m well dispelling after 35 years. She never cares how much I spend however when I finally save enough money.
Well I'll do my best to help you pick out only the best stuff! We got all sorts of Goodies and gear coming out soon.
If there is any gear you want to see, just let me know!!
-Walsh
I bought his belt and I wear it every day at my job it makes it so much easier Having a sturdy belt
I got the RONIN Shuto belt. It's the same, without the D ring, and a few bucks less. I went with Ronin because of the quality and because of the philosophy of Tu Lam, where he's been, and what he's done. Added the Esstac Kywis with my Safariland ALS/SLS and the combo is flawless. Comfortable enough to wear mowing the lawn or rucking overland or with a plate carrier on missions.
Sounds like a badass setup! The Shuto is perfect for almost everyone...to include myself.
I certainly don't clip into helicopters recently. Maybe I can change that lol
Do you run a dump pouch? I keep wanting to ditch mine but then I'm always throwing camera gear in it.
-Walsh
For your preference!!! Great video!👍
Thanks man! And thanks for taking the time to check out our little channel. It's awesome to me
-Walsh
Don't care about how many views or followers, just content! Keep it up you will be up there in no time👊
Just wanted to let you know i stopped video midway to subscribe to your Chanel... you seem like a pretty good guy hope this Chanel makes it big 👍🏼
well that's pretty badass man. Thanks for subscribing and I appreciate the kind words.
Let me know if there is gear or things you're looking to see and we'll try to get it!
-Walsh
Thank you detailed review and putting one together now. Thinking BLUE ALPHA due its just a SHTF belt and practice. I use HANKS on my EDC and appreciate your honesty.
We did a review of that belt too and we love it! It was the warrior poet society belt Review but it's the same belt.
I think they're both great two piece belts!
Which belt spacer do you use on the Safariland UBL to adapt 1.75 inch belts?
Steve Martin's younger brother??
We are two Wwwwiiiilld and CrAAAAZy guys!
Super late to this party! Great review. I have heard lots of people talk about how the Molle on the Battle Belt's don't line up with standard molle pouches. Can you throw video on how you attach your pouches?
This really depends on what you're using. Things like an esstac 2+1 doesn't line up. I just use velcro one wrap to secure it and it works fine.
That's the only one I had issues with. Standard molle lines up fine. It's non-standard that requires the one wrap to attach.
Lemme know if you still need more info.
-Walsh
Radio should go on your support side to keep your gun hand free.
agreed. the radio on the belt is backup. The one on the carrier is tied into the ptt and helmet.
The helicopter hook as you called it works great for boats and ladders especially if your wearing a plate carrier, it would suck if ya fell but you won’t drowned or splat like a water balloon
Oh good haha I may actually use it. Most people that I train with use those for helicopter lines. I'm not as fancy as then lol
I'll hook it to a ladder though! Then I can say I can actually use it lol
if I use a tactical belt and the is still a leftover extra strap/ belt when you resize how to fix that problem it is my friend problem he said it cover his molle area
Take a look at when I do the close-up of the belt. The extra is folded under itself and held with a ranger band.
On my t-rex arms Orion I had to cut a bit.
Let me know if you need more help and I'll get you photos.

off topic and just ammusing not trying to be rude but my men looks like hes about to cry when talking lol
We have spoken before, trying to choose between three different manufacturers. Two of us on SRT have just gone with the RONIN Task Force belts. We'll see how they shake out over time, but, I am not expecting any issues. KORE has a new, wider belt they are about to debut which I am looking forward to for Patrol use as well. Will get back to you on the RONIN TF once we have some decent usage and experience with it.
Looking at buying this belt, how’s it holding up so far??
@@tylerp1044 no issues whatsoever. The only thing I want to see is a 2.25" wide version. I think it's a little too slender. Works 100% fine though.
I have a Ronin Shuto belt and am looking at the Esstac pouches. I want a double pouch but am trying to figure out if I need their gap or non gap version of the double kywi pistol pouches for these Ronin belts. Also, how do you have your pouches attached, the WTF straps?
My Ronin didn't fit correctly with the gap and just didn't align right. The wtf strips don't hold strong enough for my liking. If you're connecting it via molle, use malice clips.
If...like me...your 2+1 gap doesn't fit, use Velcro one wrap to secure it.
I actually recommend not getting a 2+1 because you're stuck with that configuration forever. I now have an extra 2+1 that I can't use but I need a mag pouch and a single pistol for a plate carrier.
Hope that helps!
-Walsh
What are you using on your safariland belt loop to fill in the gap? I’ve just been using zip ties.
I stole the little tabs off the g code belt holster. Zip ties is a smarter solution! It does the same thing.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo need a review of the ronin pistol pouches.
@@Drain09 ugh...it took me ages just to find a hat in stock over there.
I'll try!
-Walsh
Where do you get those Velcro straps that are mounting the kywi mag pouches and how well do they secure the pouches to the belt? Thanks for the great video!
Velcro one wrap. it's magical. it's on Amazon. just get the 3/4 inch one.
hope that helps!
-Walsh
Where can I buy the clip that prevents the holster to rock up and down due to the fit difference from the belt and holster?
I got them from gcode but you can also use zip ties
Are you using the 2" inner belt or did you purchase the 1.5" inner belt
I use both but I prefer the 1.5 a lot more than the 2. To be honest, the best inner belt is the BFG low profile inner edc belt. It just works tons better as an actual belt and connects to the Senshi better.
O got another question! sorry haha. How come you choose to use the Alinco radio over a HAM radio? Thanks for all you do!!!
The Alinco IS a ham radio. It is just analog and digital. So I can hit nationwide digital networks with it if needed. The connections are a bit more obscure so I just add it to my belt instead of headset integration. But I have it coded with all the same channels plus the digital (DMR).
Listening in to regional digital or nationwide can be fun and is super useful in storms or post-storms when there has been significant damage.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I had no idea i have a baofeng but havent had a chance to dive deep into it yet. I programmed it but what a pain in the ass it was. Would you recommend the Alinco radio over the Baofeng? last question. If you running kit, helmet head sets the works. Do you find it better to have your radio mounted on your lower back via plate carrier or mounted on your belt? I feel as though on the belt it would be in the way, possibly uncomfortable, possible tuggin on my head neck etc. When i was deployed i Never had it on my belt just my back. What are your thoughts?
What is the mod you made on the Safariland UBL? I have been looking for something for my 2 inch belt. Thanks! Great video.
I stole those off a gcode belt keeper. Zip ties work just as well though.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo thanks!
I have the same set up as you. How do you thread the drop down holster section on the belt? The cobra buckle is too large and will not fit through belt loops.
You have to unfeed the belt from the side with the excess. The "pointed" buckle can then be removed and you can slip the holster through.
It's a bit of a pain and you gotta fight it if you're a lefty like me lol
Let me know if you need more info on how to do it.
-Walsh
I like the Ronin belt, but I’m skeptical on real-world usage. If you have time to put on pants with belt loops, put on a belt, and then put on your battle belt the right way without re-adjusting, it’s perfect. For most people in a time crunch, a belt that doesn’t require extra steps works best, and even if you have the time to put on a Ronin, the extra time gained with a simple HSGI battle belt (or equivalent) is invaluable. My HSGI Battle belt has one cobra buckle, and material on the inside to keep it from moving on my waist. Gotta make sure you size it correctly though.
Competition wise, great value on the Ronin, but velcro wears out over time, and when you may need it the most, it might not work as intended. Covertly, sound makes a big difference when taking the belt off for any reason. Great video, and I’m a huge fan of the Esstac Kywi pouches (have them on my belt and carrier)! I never added a dump pouch, and used an extra rifle mag in that spot. Re-indexing should be a skill to learn!
Great video!
Absolutely spot on! I have a single piece t-rex arms orion we are reviewing next. I also feel you on my skepticism on how long the inner belt will last.
Also agree on the dump pouch. Reindexing is far more important. I throw all my camera gear in there lol
Thanks for commenting and stay tuned! We'll do a belt shootout video and I intent to mention exactly what you're saying
You can easily modify this for that purpose by adding on some Qore Performance pads. I have seen a few guys convert their ronin belt to be a bit more traditional and quicker to don and doff. I love how tightly my pouches are woven into this belt and how thin it is. It doesn't trap heat like older 2010 and earlier warbelts.
I felt this and so I got the hsgi neoprene padding. It's basically a velcro padding you put onto the back turns it into a more traditional battle belt.
@@jamesyang9884 whelp. I'm doing this! Got a link to the one you used?
@@TerranPlanetaryDefenseForce I completely agree, and the pads should do a solid job with excess movement!
I remember you suggesting using velcro on your battle belt but wouldn't that end up being problematic such in the case with WTF straps? Also, do you have any videos of Malice Straps and the Ronin belt? I'm tearing my hair out trying to put this crap in
I did swap over over to malice clips but the 3/4 one wrap is the superior connection. I've flipped back to that on all the belts.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo do you cut the velcro straps the same length as the Malice Clips?
@@ThinLineDefenseCo with the Velcro will you experience that weird drooping that many have with the WTF straps?
@@MarcusAurelius12 hmm It was a tiny bit of trial and error because I wanted some overlap. I did the 3 MOLLE sections then doubled it and added about 2 inches. I wanted it to be too long. I think I trimmed it before I had my final template
@@ThinLineDefenseCo thank you!
I was wondering what holster belt size adapter you are using?
on the ubl? I stole those off a G-code belt adapter. zip ties work great too!
hope that helps
-Walsh
I ordered my Kywis pouches today after watching both you and John Lovell (Warrior Poet Society) videos! Got two of the AR and three of the pistol mag pouches! Great content, love your channel!
The kywis are fantastic! I actually got some multicam black ones for an upcoming belt. Grim Hunter Tactical decked that one out too.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo they seem to be COMPLETELY customer focused, and THAT greys my vote everyday all day
@@smokingfacepeltoutdoors6636 the owner is a vet and a super great guy too.
I have a esstac daeodon plate carrier from them too....I probably should review that one day lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo what is better Blue alpha/wps or the Ronin?
@@loganneville7509 they're extremely comparable. The WPS/blue alpha inner belt is superior to any though so it's nice to just order that and have it for a good price.
The ronin is more robust but it's not like the WPS one is going to ever break down. I'll say if you're gonna do minimalist.... WPS... If you're gonna load the hell out of it and use it and abuse it... Go Ronin (or Axl eclipse).
How did you mount the safariland panel on the belt, did you take off the cobra buckle?
Why do you have the gear mounted on the belt instead of the webbing? Isn’t that what it’s for?
Hmm that is an older belt setup but it probably has both. Generally, you want to hook into the entire belt so it uses the entire system and not just the webbing off the side. This is how the next gen belts are done with one wrap securing it.
That makes it easier to take things on and off too. And removes the mess of malice clips and the other nonsense.
hope that helps!
-Walsh
Could not find radio or med kit on grim's website - can you post a link?
It was a custom so I don't know if he's going to list it. Just call or email Chris at GHTG and tell him you want the pouches in the TLD video. He'll know what you mean.
should i get a od plate carrier of a bk or tan
Environment dictates wear? Lol honestly get a color that is easy to finish. I have kryptek mandrake....that was a mistake. Black, coyote, ocp....other than that it'll take ages to get a matching set
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Black still makes shadows at night, od green/ranger green with camo pouches or multicam plate carrier with green or multicam pouches .. if you live in the desert then multicam arid or coyote/desert tan/brown whichever
Can I use the inner belts with the appendix carry? then take holster off and put on outer belt if need. Also I ordered an appendix holster with magazine combo how am I supposed to pee
Yea we use the low profile EDC belt from Blue alpha gear. It just makes adjusting the belt easier than the one included with the Ronin.
Then you can quickly adjust for the appendix carry or remove it... readjust and connect the belt. It's super easy.
Peeing should be fine haha
@@ThinLineDefenseCo ill order them both then is there a link I can use to give you $
@@Rezorcful not for blue alpha :/ we're not fancy enough lol but definitely the low profile EDC belt is fantastic.
We all use that one. Buy one and tell Blue alpha gear that we sent you lolol
Review the 5.11 Maverick Battle Belt
Is it true Aws makes belts for ronin?
@thinlinedefenseco love to see you review the Matbock Soteria Belt.
That guy chooses to litigate instead of innovate. I'd recommend shoe strings instead.
-Walsh
With the dems in power you might be using that gear soon.

-Statue of Liberty
Its built just like a competition belt nothing wrong with that but you could go both ways with it.
Absolutely! It can certainly be donned in a pinch.
Thanks for watching. We're working on the blue alpha gear comparison now.
Where do you get the spacer you are using for the smaller belt?
Which spacer exactly are you referring to?
@@ThinLineDefenseCo the spacer on the UBL to take up the space to use the 1 3/4" belt. @ 4:12 Philips head screws to hold it in place I'm assuming.
I've got the Ronin Shuto belt without the d-ring..am I still cool?
Very very cool lol there is no good reason why my belts have d-rings.
Not tacticool enough 😝
I like your shirt! Where can i buy 1?
That's from Zero Foxtrot. Love their shirts!
Excellent video. Learned a lot from this review and your setup. Sub'd.
Was the Esstac magazine pouch the gapped ones?
Yea, 2+1 gap. Just know it doesn't line up with the molle so you gotta get creative. I don't recommend the belt loops because you lose a ton of real estate on the hook and loop.
Thanks for watching! Blue alpha gear belt Review this week too!
What do you have on the Ubl that holds the belt in better?
They're two belt sliders I stole from a gcode belt setup.
Zip ties work super well also!
Nice channel, I was just interesting about this belt. Thank's :))
Super nice video!!! Thanks for taking the time to share info!! I may have to order from Grim Hunter. Thanks. Have a great day.
Appreciate it! Tell them Walsh sent you. They're wonderful people. Have a great holiday and thanks for watching.
-Walsh
Do the S.L. holsters come with that little cheater keeper for smaller belts?
No, I stole those off a gcode but you can use zip ties in much the same way!
-Walsh
For the kywis what did you use to secure? Wtfix straps?
I did... but those suck. Then used malice clips... also crap... ended up using 1inch one wrap for an easier solution
Awesome energy in your video. I wish there had been a few more links to the holster you’re talking about. It took a while but I found it and will be adding it to my set up. Thanks for the awesome ideas.
Ahh my mistake. I can probably add it to the description. You talking about the actual holster that holds the p320 or the QLS that lets you flip between different holsters?
Or was it the UBL mid ride lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo wow, I had made this mention not actually expecting a response, so thank you for sharing your time with me and my question. I’m looking for the actual holster model. I have the base for my other carry pistol. Like I said before I love the energy in your videos. Don’t stop making these videos.
@@lyalsandry8120 The holsters I'm using in most of the videos is a knightfall customs model that I had them do custom to hook in a safariland QLS.
I moved over to Mckinatec though. They already have something that accepts the QLS and is an absolutely fantastic value....it just takes a bit to get them.
I'd definitely recommend Mckinatec!
Great video. What spacers were you using to hold the Safariland UBL in place? I believe you had them secured with screws.
Those are belt keepers I stole from a gcode belt loop setup. You can use zip ties too though.
-Walsh
Appreciate it! Zip ties it is!!
Did you do the mod to the ubl to make it fit better to the belt?
I did, I stole some keepers from my gcode belt slide unit. You can also use zip ties just as easily.
Do you recommend the ronin belt over the orion belt for law enforcement? Also is the ronin belt as stiff or stiffer then the orion?
The ronin is definitely a better duty pick. I'd use the Orion as more a civilian choice or something I could toss in a bag. The ronin is everything done to the top tier for duty use.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo
What about the safe life defense belt?
@@tango2947 I havent' tried that one but I've heard good things. My only reservation is that I've only heard good things...from youtubers. No one in the field. The Ronin is tested and proven.
Hope that helps!
-Walsh
There great belts running one for a duty belt
Absolutely! These just kill it. I have the BFG CHLK and AXL eclipse Reviews soon for great duty options too
Hey Walsh! Looking for a range belt/competition setup. Any idea which belt you’d recommend? Blue Alpha, TRex, Ronin etc? Thanks!
can you hold till Oct 3rd....trust me.
Nice video brotha. What piece/clamp are you using on your UBL? I have mine rigged with the insert adapter and zip ties.
The UBL mid ride is connected via the safariland qls. There is a link in the description. It also helps support the channel!
Let me know how else I can help. Thanks for watching and commenting!
-Walsh
Thin Line Defense Co ....ya i have the UBLs on all my holsters. It looks like you have a small clamp with a screw to prevent UBL from shifting/riding up during your draw since the UBLs are 2” and the Ronin is a 1.5”
@@chrisvasquez4106 ohhhh yea! I stole those keepers off a gcode belt adapter system. I forgot those don't come with the UBL.
Call gcode and tell them you need the belt sliders off their universal belt adapter.
I saw that too. www.tacticalholsters.com/product/slide-keepers-for-universal-belt-slide/
Can anyone tell me the adapter he has on his holster to fit it to the belt?
The Safariland UBL or the Safariland QLS?
- Not Jason
Yay first one to comment. You're welcome!
Yay!
The part about home emergency is redundant because you’re not gonna have time statistically to put a belt on. So very useless in that respect
Guys, I found the idiot that doesn't sleep in his belt
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I was only giving an opinion there was no disrespect in it all love here I was just saying.
awww I was being ridiculous haha nothing but love. You make a good point
-Walsh
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have the GGG belt , very similar in stiffness and molle setup, and like u said it's a pain in the ass to weave items onto it but once u get in they're in there. After watching this video, I'm seriously considering getting the Senshi as a secondary setup. I love the MC and black molle, so sick. Anyways, love your shit bro, keep em coming!
Do you clean your gear - it is spotless.
Well it helps to have 18 different battle belts.... I can throw mud on them all if you'll complain less... But only one really looks like hell.
What are those little tabs with the screws you used to keep the mid ride ubl tight on the belt? Been looking for a good solution to that for a while.
I stole those off a gcode belt system. I really should have talked more on that.
A lot of folks just use zip ties. I'm sure it would work the same way.
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo Thank you!
@@bryanball3570 absolutely. Let me know what you end up doing and I'll share it with others!
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I already had one of the belt loop adapter inserts on the UBL but it still had some room to slide. I ended up running a thick zip tie through the spacing and around the UBL and it fits perfect now. Mine is also on a Ronin belt, happy to send pictures if it helps!
@@bryanball3570 it seems like zip ties are the easiest solution. It's what I've been recommending most people do.

@@ThinLineDefenseCo your the best Walsh! Thanks brother! I'm really wanting one of these ronin belts but I read on their website that they cant be used for rappelling. That kind of had me iffy on the belt. But after watching your review I think I'm going to give them a try lol.
@@Bassdaddy-so1if take a look at the BFG CHLK belt. I think it's load rated and similarly priced.
I want to get one of those next to try. Apparently it's the new new.
-Walsh
@@Bassdaddy-so1if I think it also has to do with liability. I heard Ronin himself saw so. They don’t want to rate it for repelling and then be liable for someone getting injured or killed using it for that. I think it would honestly hold up well
that rigger loop is mad useful for casualty drills, get a nice D ring, hook the belt to your buddies body armor and you both have both hands for your weapon
ohhhh that is pretty smart!
-Walsh
Great informative video. Thanks 🙏. What’s your thoughts on the TREX arms Orion 2 piece
I like the trex because it's more flexible but it's also not as perfect. It's less a question of which is better and more a question of this or that.'
The Ronin fits on a belt and fits you exactly. The orion can be thrown over a jacket or over clothes easily and much much faster. From a warfighter or competition standpoint, the Ronin is king. From a home defense or quick response, I'd recommend the orion.
The orion isn't quite as stable so your draw stroke could potentially stuffer as it won't be as consistent. You could use a leg strap to help but it won't remove the issue.
Both are good choices as long as you know your mission set.
Thin Line Defense Co hey brotha thank you for your great and timely response . 🙏🙌🏻
@@TheRussLee absolutely! I'm going to try to do a review of the Orion and the blue alpha gear belt too in the near future. A lot of people had interest in the blue alpha gear but it's very similar to the Ronin.
Thanks for watching!
Thin Line Defense Co no problem and yeah I would like to get the TREX Arms to support them I like what they stand for etc.
@@TheRussLee I'll bump up the review for you but I can also help answer any questions you may have if you're looking to purchase very soon.
The orion also has their med pouch, dump pouch, but g-code magazine pouches.
Great video, Can you tell me what medical pouch you’re using.
The cover is by Grim Hunter Tactical Gear. They make their own 6x6 also but the one shown in this video is cann'd from Cannae's medical pouch
@@ThinLineDefenseCo You remind me of someone I used to know! I love your videos, man!
@@JHP2001 haha well I hope he was awesome....and also larped around his back yard lol
Is that rifle mag pouch a short or mid?
speak for yourself on the drop pouch, we used it for our snacks during our tour haha. But I get your point though.
haha it is perfect for snacks!!
What are you using to fill the gap in the UBL that isn't filled by the width of the belt?
I stole a clip from the gcode belt slider but you can easily use zip ties and cut off the ends.
Hope that helps!

@@Chrisbennett-k5h just general. I studied for my technician but just didn't bother. I'm W3BJW!
@@ThinLineDefenseCo nice. I need to probably get my general. Pretty limited on technician.
If you had to choose this belt or the Warrior poet belt which one would you choose?
oOoOO tough one. You're comparing two very similar and quality products. I'd personally go with the ronin because I think it's just an edge better.
The real question... Axl eclipse or ronin!
@@ThinLineDefenseCo Have you seen HIgh Speed Gear Operator belt? I wish i could share a link but youtube will delete my comment. Do you feel the Ronin belt is to stiff? Would you go for something less stiff and maybe something more comfortable via AXL Eclipse?
@@MarcusAurelius12 the HSGI belt isn't as good as the Ronin, WPS, or AXL. From a rugged military stance... I'd go Ronin. For a civilian use and fast action... I'd go Axl eclipse.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I very much appreciate all that you do. You have helped me a lot man. Thank you for responding to your fans. Btw that Medical pouch that you displayed in the video i cant seem to find on Grim Tactical. Was that made just for you?
@@MarcusAurelius12 it was! But he had so many people asking, he put it on the site. It's on there but you can also email them and just ask about the TLD medical pouch.
There are a few things we helped design!
"CRT" 😆 that aged well.
which sig are you running? and i havent seen yet is there a gun belt that is sturdy and works without the need of an inner velcro belt?
That's a p320 compact with a xcarry grip module
And yes they exist, like the Trex arms Orion video we do. They're out there, just not the preferred belt style usually.

@@ThinLineDefenseCo not performed yes but im thinking the Robin for a range type belt but I was only asking for one like the t Rex Orion was for a battle bag I guess just a quick throw on belt out of a bag since I may not run the velcro as an edc and I don't like tucking my shirts in as they stretch iut as im a bigger guy so a quick throw on maybe my perfered set up for qhat im doing just wasn't sure ya know?
@@ThinLineDefenseCo but guess my question is that the tree Orion is it as good as other gunbelts without the inner velcro belt? As its more of a when and if something happens it will qork till I get home to get my better belt if needed
@@jonhamilton3346 I like the double because you're dealing with two different forces. The Orion can still flop up and down... Even when tight. The double belts... Not so much
@@ThinLineDefenseCo ahh so pretty much double belt and wear the velkro piece at all times.... darn
Get ON with it..
*points at the slider* you can skip the parts where I'm making cute faces ;)

What did you buy to make the UBL fit the 1.75” belt?
I had some of the keepers from a gcode belt slider but I've seen folks use zip ties
-Walsh
Hello lefti!
Some people refer to us as "perfect handed" lol
You're good. Ease up haha
Elastic velcro loops? Anyone know where this product is sold?
I got a big roll of them off amazon. Just look up velcro one wrap. I use it for my belt and for the cables on my plate carrier. They're great.

Belt!
Thanks for the link I’ve been looking for a new edc belt at a decent price. I’m not the guy that’s going to pay 100$ for an edc belt unless it’s for work. I’m retired by the way lol so no need for the 80$+ belt just to hold my trousers up
I highly recommend the blue alpha gear low profile EDC belt. I actually use that inner belt with the Ronin for an amazing combination. The Ronin EDC hidden compartment for any "training" you may have also received is very helpful though.
Thanks for watching and for sharing about your military service!
-Walsh
You gotta turn in ur shirt with ANY battle belt, right?
Lol pretty much yea... Or you just jam your shirt in the mag slots
@@ThinLineDefenseCo haha unless you are working from concealed with ur war belt.....: )
@@joegasparro2395 haha I'm just afraid my wife will come out and tell me I look nice with my shirt tucked in.
"Hun stop! I'm doing battle stuff with my friends"
@@ThinLineDefenseCo haha yep, "You boys look so handsome in your little military costumes" lol
@@joegasparro2395 hahah I see you've met her
Behold! My stuff.
You running the Senshi too?
@@ThinLineDefenseCo No, I just picked up the G-Code belt. I subbed a few months after you made this video, but it showed up in my recommended this morning..........
@@zacharyfett2491 haha well....it's a good belt! I'm messing with the BFG CHLK and Wilder Tactical ones today actually.
I remember you saying you liked the gcode. I'll make sure that one is on the list
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo My only gripe is they don’t sell a part that will allow a Safariland holster to attach to their pistol platform.
😆 me too
are u a left-handed?
I like to call it....Best-handed lol
I can help if you're looking to shoot left handed like me
Nah im just board and u look really cool
I dont have guns. It just look cool
@@acess6439 well lefties are more accurate if you join us lol

I haven't forgotten. I'm working the belt review into the lineup still!
-Walsh
Ronin looks like you would need suspenders to keep it under the old beer belly
Hah you'd think so but the inner belt is actually pretty secure when you cinch it down.
Check out the low profile inner EDC belt on our warrior poet Society belt Review. Cody shows you how to wear it with some "Tactical girth" applied.
Lol thanks for watching and commenting. It means a lot to our little channel.
I wish you would actually do that G code versus KYWI pouches video. I was actually having a conversation about that very subject the other day with a couple of people. To be honest, the only reason I watched this video was to hear your take on the KYWI pouches. I’ve been running them for a few years now. I have no desire to move to anything else. I’m sure it’s theoretically possible to make a better mag pouch, but Even if someone did, I’m not sure it would be better enough for me to wanna switch.
Honestly, I moved away from them and the Tyr happy mag pouch does what gcode does... Better. But it gives a mag retention strap also.
I also prefer Esstac for 99% but for a patrol or duty style, I'd want some retention on the mags. The esstac mags also limit themselves in their design. The Tyr mags can run 7.62 mags... 308 mags... 556 mags... With the same level of retention. So it gives you a versatility that Esstac does not.
The Tyr is on my duty setup. The esstac is on everything else from home defense to rapid engagement.
My 2 cents!
-Walsh
@@ThinLineDefenseCo I can understand the retention strap. They have them on the new Haley strategic pouches. I’ve never been a really big fan. I get why guys use them. I’ve just never really had a problem with retention in the Esstacs. Maybe I’m not doing crazy enough shit.
I also understand your point about running 308. However, I don’t run 308. Maybe someday, but then I’d probably have a dedicated 308 load out.
@@ThinLineDefenseCo honestly, now that I’m thinking about it, I might be building a training scar. The main reason I don’t like straps it that I don’t like messing with them while trying to get mags back in my belt. That’s a range convenience not a real world reason.
@@theredcelt627 I think I'm just lazy... I like doing a 6.5 battle rifle setup and I don't want to change my mag pouches on my belt lol
@@ThinLineDefenseCo watching your reviews, it looks like you have enough belts to dedicate one to 6.5/308.
Great belts
Definitely good. I will say....I love the axl Eclipse just a littttttle more. Both are great though
I’m a TRex Arms fan for mags. The tech look system is awsome and they too are a great company , made up of some nice folks.
There was no info about the belt and I found your mannerisms annoying.
Yet you watched it all. I'll remember next time to do some really special Jake Vans stuff. Like kickflips and stuff.
Have you tried the Applied Gear Double Duty belt with the HSGI inner liner? Friggin love mine due to how rigid it is. I am a lefty and have my belts set up similar to you except I add in an admin pouch. Really enjoy your vids. Thank you.
I haven't tried that combo but there are getting to be a lot of good ones out there!
-Walsh
Or wear a longer shirt.
smarge is a life choice....
