Tekloks have spacers and you can adjust for various width belts.
I use a 2" wide belt in the UK for PSG, but my 3 gun belt is 1.25", using the same caddies I just move the internal Teklok spacer to get the right fit.

But it’s just normal belts you use?

Not buying a specific type of tactical belt?

Unfortunately it is another 'thing' to buy. You might get away with a thick/heavy leather belt but you really want to buy a proper shooting belt which is far stiffer than a normal belt. Ghost and Double Alpha are the industry standard but if you don't use tek-loks you can get a 'duty belt' for £15 from Ebay (Viper or similar).

I really would just go for the Norman Clarke/Pro-dec clip type belt first and ask other people for a go of their belts before you start spending money as it can be a very individual thing.

That’s great mate thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for. Once I get off the rig and some decent internet without firewalls I’ll have a look at the Norman Clarke stuff too.

Really appreciate it

Right I managed to see the Norman clark belt on google images without the rigs internet secuirity blocking it! I’ve phoned them this morning and got myself one of them to get my safety course done in two weeks and I’ll see what everyone else has at some meets in the future. Really can’t conplain at £22 !!

Thanks for everyone’s input and I’ll hopefully bump into some of you at the comps eventually.

Ordered Norman clark belt yesterday lunch time, arrived this morning, great service.

Now where do I get decent breech flags for a GSG 1911 and an M&P 15/22 ??
