ColDaz Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hey, I've been searching for several hours for a place that both has in stock, and will ship to the UK/is in the UK, a black pistol belt that also has grommets (like little clip hole things, similar to MOD vests, I think, don't quote me). They are very similar to Blackhawk Duty belts, which do not have the grommets. I have looked at several sites, including: http://www.vtarmynavy.com/Pistol_Belts.htm www.cheaperthandirt.com www.uscav.com www.outinstyle.com and others, but they either have none in stock, do not ship to the UK, or just don't sell them. Any help would be appreciated if you happen to come accross one, or otherwise know where I could get hold of one. Thanks, Daz Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Sorry if I'm dead wrong, but do you mean like this? http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/ishop/877/shopscr467.html Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Good find, and thanks, but I've seen others simialr/the same, and I was after one with a buckle like you get on backpacks, like the blackhawk duty belt I mentioned earlier. And the holes, I think they are little things you can punch in pouches to. +1 rep anyway for the help. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 So you want that belt, but with a modern Fastex buckle, not the old clasp style? I'll see what I can find... Like this? They aren't press-studs btw, just little eyelets. You can't attach pouches to them AFAIK. Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 My friend, you are blessed by the gods themselves. Was this on the same site as the other link? I tried searching for pistol belts and stuff, but to no avail. Again, thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 No, it was here, but they're out of stock... I was just checking that was what you meant. For what it's worth, here they are. Maybe worth giving them a ring. http://www.whipperleys.co.uk/acatalog/belt..._belts_buy.html (3rd item down) Link to post Share on other sites

Catchv22 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Actually the grommets were originally designed for carrying stuff using the old US M1910 wire hanging system. A lot of World War I and II gear uses that system for canteens and such. The US Marines also used a system using grommets with buttons to slip over and button into place with their M1961 gear. I noticed that British web belts don't have these grommets because of the different evolution of gear. Link to post Share on other sites
