I retired in ‘97 after 30 years and we did not have all this stuff to carry around. Tasers were a few years off so I had my pistol, two extra mags, cuffs and a radio. Vests were worn under the uniform shirt and the load was no where near as heavy as what’s carried today. Stay safe brothers & sisters.
They still wear vests under their uniform
@@nnamdi554 some places
Yeah I agree
I would like to listen to your memoirs, how can i contact you?
@@navnavtala bruh why? Like why so formal and unexpectedly saying that?
Quick tip to setting up anything molle; put everything on with just the top row, try it on, make sure it works, then weave. Trust me the hours of frustration from having to redo because one pouch messed up setting up another pouch or you end up not liking the placement or whatever more than outweigh the 10 minutes it takes to do a test run.

Yes! I learned this after attaching my first piece with a complete weave only to have to undo it to move it over one section.

I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

A little tip for adding pouches that have "slide-through" loops.
The safelife belt, like many modern duty belts, is an inner/outer system with a hook-and-loop attachment between the two. When sliding the outer belt though the pouch loop you will want to have something between the 'hook' surface of the outer belt and the pouch loop you are trying to slide it though.
If you buy a pouch from Safariland or Bianchi they come with a little plastic shim holding the pouch onto the display. Just stuff it between the two surfaces with the 'tabs' in the direction you are sliding the pouch.
If you don't have one of those shims, you can just use a folded piece of paper and it will have the same effect.
Makes the process much easier and prevents the pouch loops from getting all 'fuzzy' from the 'hooks' pulling on the material.
I have used shipping tape on the belt
After looking through various deceiving descriptions, YOU are the only one to actually illustrate the entire set up from ASSEMBLING THE BELT to how to put on the equipment. I never used this type of set up before, I used Sam Browne but now I am plain clothes. Thanks and well done!
Tip in getting through molle webbing without butter knife, as for belt, reverse the belt and bend, so the molle will open itself, same as vest, remove plate, bend and go in
I like it!
I have searched and searched as a daunting task to find experienced people doing no bull shit videos that are actually tutorial and explains tools and gadgets and gear. Finally!!! Thank you for that. Gonna binge watch a few videos now, hopefully all equally as good as this one.
I’m glad that I was able to watch that video you answered some of my questions,and I may have more in the near future.
I’m about to buy my 2nd safe life vest so that I can carry more on top,the vest and belt you just demonstrated I’ll keep you informed once I get my gear and start setting everything in place,Again I enjoyed the video.
Blazing sadles. I saw a SWAT/CERT pin on the old vest. time to switch to the patch version.
Good video for those that are new to MOLLE/PALS and outter vests.
i took a shot every time he says molle and I'm only 10 minute in and i cant see straight
🤣🤣🤣
Great video, those APX full size VHF radio antennas are real armpit pokers too. 😀
I am most excited about the external plate carrier. Although I recently lost my streamlight stinger
hi there, i´m police officer from valencia in spain...great job with this video...well done man....see you in the next.
SERCRISAL I love Valencia man. I went to Las Fallas this year. Valencia is way better than Barcelona.
7:49 "sometimes molly is a little tight" lmao
Loosens up with use 😉
Add lube and it’ll get in there 😉
i love the unicorn cup!
Thank you for all this info!
I love my safelife TUC IIIa+ it is great.. helped my back so much pain has stopped for the most part and getting all that equipment off my hips has helped my sciatica too.
My department doesn't use molle unless you're SWAT, too tactical looking, not friendly enough i guess. Soon we'll have to have cross draw duty weapons and fuzzy handcuffs so criminals don't get upset
Georgio Henderson dude I deal with the same shit at my department. They rather us have back problems that to attach our stuff to a Molle vest. I’ve said it over and over again, if a police officer is comfortable in their uniform, they will be more proactive.
@@joshwales1363 they do make straps you attach to your belt and go over your shoulders, helps take the load off your hips. You need an outer vest to hide the straps though.
Georgio Henderson yeah I’ve seen those before, so far my solution has been a lot of stretching and minimize the amount of gear that should stay on my belt. Keep it simple and prioritize what should stay on.
You’re cops, not soldiers. Fuck off. If the people actually got our way you wouldn’t have anything but a baton.
@@joshwales1363 The back problems comes from sitting in the patrol vehicle with the duty belt on. The Molleys on the outer vest is just as bad, because most of us load all of our gear on the front side including multiple mags, taser, molleys, cuffs, etc etc causing imbalance of weight on the front. There is really no way around the back problems with the all the gear we carry, regardless of the vest or not.
Also, youre right...80 percent of departments will never switch to outer vest. Many are still traditional, and the other reason is that it looks too menacing
I had a radio belt pouch like that for about 6 months in 1983, when it was issued after the academy, after that it was a square black metal that was purchased at a police supply in Austin, Texas. Ive never used the word “Molly” except to mention the first girl that popped my cherry, and “Cobra” only to mention the Ford Mustang Cobra, that always out ran our Po-lice cars. We were issued a Bianche River belt rough duty for daily use, and a traditional Bianche Sam Browne for “Dress Use”, 8 keepers, 4 for each belt all with BRASS buttons and all the cases from handcuffs to OC spray to every accessory case must have a BRASS button to close pouches & keepers & every buckle including pistol threat level 3 Bianche, and new duty belts purchased must have brass, and has to be polished with BRASSO and an old sock, before inspection at “ traditional MUSTER” shift by watch Commander & shift Sergeants. I only purchased 1 other River Belt, through the same uniform company that mailed our stuff when I first began in 1983, but when I first started my waist was a 32” and now at 55 my waist is 34” since I was 48 years old, and had to have a saddle maker punch out 2 other holes in my leather rough duty, and the Dress Sam Browne only had to have the square buckle moved forward to accommodate my 34” waist as I got older. I never moved up to first line Supervisor/Sergeant, but stayed as Senior Corporal, which isn’t any kind of Supervision position. On 11/18/2019 I now have 36 years still in Patrol Division, never worked “undercover” or in any tactical, etc except traffic Division for 2 years, other than that I still work assigned shifts 1 man marked patrol unit. I always liked the Chevy Police Patrol sedans and second to Chevy was the Ford LTD 2 sedan Police Pkg when I first started because it had a hopped up Police package and a 460 CID Engine, no sports car could out do us in pursuits, and since our Metro Department is in the middle of the state of Texas, even when I started in 1983, the car issued was a 1979 LTD II 4 door sedan Police Interceptor the LTD CROWN VICTORIA was different and much heavier than the LTD II Patrol Sedan. Every single Patrol car had complete “BRUSH GUARDS” that covered entire grill & lights & looked exactly like the Ford pickup truck Brush-guards except didn’t have the bottom PIT Bars that are prevalent now in Police Car grill guards, simply because the PIT maneuver didn’t come around until the 90’s & CHP sent Driver Instructors from the CHP academy to teach Texas driving instructors & taught through out the states, so we could have a tool in stopping vehicles attempting to abscond during Police chases. We were wrecking while shooting at tires & forcibly wrecking into violators vehicles. But thank you young man, for sharing your Department’s methodologies, but I’m glad our department doesn’t allow beards, ear rings, any rings , or anything that doesn’t look professional on a Traditional Police Officer, except military regulated mustaches, no sideburns.
Damn this is going way different then when I setup my buddy with a molly!!!
Most. Awesome. Coffee. Cup. Ever!
utapau if you tell me that number 12 on my phone. She's coming back this Justin ain't country I'll ask you some questions about can I come by and tell him bye bye thanks if I'm not tired back
My daughter made my wife one like that, it was the first thing I noticed in this video. So awesome.
Thank you. Great video. Lots of good practical info!
Great job guys. Help keep the protectors protected 🤙👍
Bless all who work law enforcement
and curse the ones that hate them because they believe everything the media tells them....poor fools
Locked Firing lol
Lol
I said that because l have officers in my family but if it didn't have officers in my family i still would feel the same way if I didn't have officers in my family since I was a child I been watching TV shows with cops 8 always been fascinated with law enforcement 🚔
Nice video as always! Good job!
Good video! Keep it up. I just got a molli vest carrier and I'm gonna start experimenting with how I want it set up. My radio and my taser are the 2 biggest points of friction on my gear set up now. They are on my belt, it feels like a long reach across my body for taser, which I hate, and my radio gets snagged on my seatbel everytime i get out of my squad. I hate that, especially when I'm trying to get out fast or get out quietly. Gets in the way of my flow everytime. Needs to be fixed. Thanks again!
Well l bought the Safe Life Defense vest last year and l'm happy, now l'm going to retire my nylon duty belt that l was issued in 2000 and buying a Safe Life Defense duty belt for patrol. Well the wife is a little upset, but l need new gear. Good videos.
Thanks for the tutorial on how to link molle
Great video thanks for the free content!
Love, love, love the unicorn coffee cup.
The whole point of the molle vest cover is to take most everything off you belt to save your back.
and yet the military guys are adding war (duty) belts to their kit to take things off their plate carrier to put on the belt to take the weight off their shoulders
Also Incase something happens where you have to drop your plates in water you'll sink or another reason u have to lose your plate carrier you still have ammo, med ect. Military loves redundancy
Im planning on becoming a cop. I'm in school now for it! Two more years! Your videos are teaching me a lot. Keep it up!
I hope you do well! I am trying to become a cop too, but am in the process of losing some weight for the academy. Never quit.
@@tgpugsley8658 Hell yteah man! I'm trying to GAIN weight for academy haha! Best of Luck!!
Hope it's going well nowadays!
How goes it
@@HM-dc7vh not good, got into legal trouble and completely ruined all chances, fml man... forgot i even posted this... jeesh.
Great instruction video. Helped a lot
The butter knife is a great tool. Should probably have it on the belt.
Great information thanks !!
I enjoy using my condor tatical elite belt. I like the Cobra buckle. I have to use a Basket weave Bianchi belt and pouches on patrol only.
Gotta love that “teaser mount” 😂
great video, informative and a good laugh!
Awesome video very informative!
I have an outer carrier and live in the south where it rains quite a bit leaving my vest soaked. Have you ever tried to waterproof one before? I was thinking about trying Scothgard.
Nice, I've been looking for a new set up.
also, where can I find those cuff holders?
However i must say, you have the show CSI beat. This is cool to learn about.
That Blackhawk Molle attachment for the Serpa taser holster really takes up a lot of pals webbing. There are much better options out there today. I run the “Zero 9” taser holster on both my duty vest and SWAT kit. Takes up minimal space and is a well thought out holster.
Awesome video!
Wow I have a clip with my Morphing Karambit like the single mags attached to the duty belt. I didn't know I could slide the button to make it not detach itself accidentally.
Dang that’s some nice gear there congrats
That’s very cool I like the duty belt
Good show!
Everyone sets their gear up differently. There’s this cop from Las Vegas PD that created the Hendi Duty Gear method. He did a lot of research and worked on the method for years. That’s how I set my gear up. You guys might want to think about looking at it.
His system doesn't take into account the ability to put things on a vest that is now available and proven by science to reduce back injuries. It's great in most respects if you are restricted to just a duty belt and are a fairly skinny guy.
One suggestion I have is to actually reverse the direction the belt goes through the cobra buckle. This will result in the extra belt on the inside and once tucked into the elastic keeper, will result in a much cleaner, kept, and professional look.
Strongly agree. I have the classic duty belt and i was able to trim off the access length.
Where did he get those slick handcuff cases? I have been looking all over but can’t find them
I use the G-Code RTI MOLLE adapter for my vest mounted Taser. I find the mount takes up far less space and allows you to remove the Taser holster if needed. The Blackhawk mount takes up far too much room and is not nearly as versatile.
Cauliflower Ear @ 20:04
Yup, this guy can wrassle.
He is literally the scariest dude I have ever met in real life.
Great video. Could you please provide the link to mag holster? I can't find it. Thank you.
I love the set up but I was just wondering the handcuff cases who makes them where did you get them from I’m very much so interested in ordering a pair. Although I know this video is a couple of years old or really just one year old I already have the identical belt and magazine pouches!
I’m seeing the handcuffs cSe is from eclipse. When you look they only show a 1.75” attachment but the belt is 2” wide. How does that work?
Great video sir, just purchased a safelife tactical belt and i like those mag carriers. You said there was a discount code down below but I couldn’t find anything. Could you maybe please provide that code? Thank you
I'd love to know what slide you switched to in order to mount the Trijicon RMR. I'm looking to do the same with mine, but most are way too flashy and don't allow co-witness suppressor sights.
Also for the hand cuff pouches where can I purchase those. I have the safelife defense belt and I like the setup you did.
Love the unicorn mug
That unicorn coffee mug though..
This is so cool
I saw your video, thank you for the information and products. One question where can I purchase the handcuff case? I looked at Black Hawk brand and accessories but can't find it. Please let me know where I can purchase one. Thanks...
Not a fan of the molle belt. Where I live for winter you gotta adjust your belt out to loosen it up when wearing layered clothes. Having everything too locked down on your belt would suck because everything would be out of place from loosening it up and taking the stuff all apart vs just sliding it around because if you have the Velcro marry system it stays in place anyways especially with keepers . Molle for the vests are a great thing but the belt not so much. Too bad it’s only been the last few years that services where I live allow molle vests and to attach gear. It’s great for weight displacement to save your back and body from strain from wearing too much in one place via a bunch of shit around your waist.
Thabk you so much. Very helpful to us noobs. So many videos just assume you know this stuff.
Have you considered showing him the new RDS holster from Safariland? It's a new duty holster that protects the RMR while it's in the holster so it's ready to go and doesn't get dirty while doing day to day.
In Britain you have armed response and counter terrorist only they carry guns In the UK
joseph singleton What?
That's a cool unicorn mug.
Love this I need organization of gear
We just got this being sent to my department
where can you get a radio like the one in the video
So with mags and holster blocking the hook and loop wont it be loose in those points between the two belts just like other belts? Causing the need for keepers? I find places where more then a few inches of the "velcro" is blocked require a keeper on either side to feel stable.

Hey check out this molle duty belt. Proceeds to put on a bunch of non molle items on the belt and the one molle item that is put on the belt, almost no cop puts on their duty belt.
MOLLE has got to be the best invention since the wheel. Allows for full on customization and it holds strong when installed correctly. I refuse to go back to a traditional duty belt and standard uniform shirt carrier.
You would think Blackhawk or Safari land will make a radio pouch but I do like your videos you got some things that I like to try my own belt
Can you post pics of the belt being worn with a PD uniform and carrier. I'd like to see the entire setup worn and the flexibility it offers.
Let me see what I can do.
Cool coffee cup..!
I ended up ordering the SafeLife Uniform Shirt molle carrier.
It was a decent product but the issues I ran into were my Point Blank ballistic panels did not fit in the Safelife carrier.
The chest pockets were kind of small. Not enough storage for everything I carry in them: cards, earpiece, mic clip, pens, etc.
And major thing was there wasn't any sort of pocket on the inside of the carrier for a 5x8 trauma or rifle plate.
Any thoughts on that? Asking as a reviewer, not a rep>
Hey man I know it’s a year later. You probably already found this out but point blank cuts their armor different than everyone else. It almost makes it proprietary to their carriers. I also bought a safe life carrier. Lots of molle rows, but not having pockets killed it for me. My point blank also has chest pockets and those are shallow too
What is the brand of his old vest I like the setup. It reminds me of the safelife defense molle uniform vest style
I’m need to get my because I really need it
hello, those open cuff holsters are cool do you have a link to them
Who makes those cuff carriers?
You are the best cop I have seen. God bless.
What’s your take on process servers? Is that a good career or a stepping stone into law enforcement? How is the pay?
Where did you get that uniform/tactical carrier with 3 Molle webbings?
How do I request those allegiance holsters? They have options when I try to select them. For instance, X-lock, UBA, please lmk thanks
Wouldent the clip on attachments and slide on attachments defeat the purpose of the iner Velcro belt? Seems like it won’t get a good Velcro connect with all those things covering the Velcro
What kind of clip is the mag carrier. Is it the 2 inch hard molle or x lock? Before I make a purchase on the website on Alegiance.
Do you have the link to the handcuff holders? And how secure are they? I figure during a scuffle they may fall out? Have you tried them?
Eclipse holster kydex cuff case
I want to be a Police Officer and I would pick the Vest Carrier when I become a cop and the things that I would put on the Vest are Handcuffs Pepper Spray,Magazines,Flashlight Asp and tourniquet on the Vest and I would put the Firearm,Taser and Radio on the Belt
The unicorn mug! LOL
Interesting choice of mag pouches and the height he carries his gun at, is he a competitive shooter?
What does a LEO use a dump pouch for?
The dump pouch is mostly for training. Guys like to be able to stash mags in one. I had one on swat, it was pretty useful on scenes to be able to stash shit on yourself you needed at the last minute. Sandwiches, water bottle, hand warmers, gum, ect. We didn't always have a cargo pocket to put stuff in. I've never needed one on patrol though.
Right but can it pepperspray kneecaps or taze door knobs?
Mmmm didn't think so 😎
What was his old vest? The one at the beginning of the video?
Bless
Maybe it's been asked, but I just started corrections and am in love with those cuff holders. Where can I find those??
Did you find out?
Ethos Survival, I believe. I’m getting the double cuff pouch soon, make sure you get the right ones for your cuffs tho
He said the clip was common on black hawk products so try them
I want those same cuff cases some please let me know where to find those
I went with a company called Strategic Dark and their RDS system with the MOLLE attachment option. 4-5 months in, and I love the setup so far.
Make a video on Ace-link tactical war/duty belt
Does that Safelite vest have a place for a backup weapon? If so could you do an in depth review of it?
No sir it doesn’t.
Where did you get the handcuff carriers with the locking attachment from? (Leo)
Eclipseholsters
Aspiring police officer here. I do tactical rifle training now and I have a couple of plate carriers set up. Is it at all possible to use those plate carriers as my duty equipment? Same goes for duty belt.
And also what are the names of the handcuff cases again?
Can you use revolvers on that kind of belt like full 6inch berrel

Would keepers secure the MOLLE to the duty belt or is there a better way to secure them?
