First belt recommendation for range days

fiatlux said:
I won't be getting my CCW anytime soon but I did want to get a belt for the outdoor range days. Anyone have recommendations for a solid first belt?

Based on the reading I've done, I'm kind of between these two belts: (1.5" and CSM)
But I'm also curious about the Blue Alpha Battle Belt Lite
If I'm going to want mag pouches down the road anyways is the combo package worth it or better to build up over time?

I'll be buying a simple owb holster for my full-size echelon to start prob.

I have been using the Blue Alpha battle belt lite for a couple of years now and it's really held up well. I would recommend it. Their mag pouches are fine too, I would just get them at the same time as the belt.
 
Lead devil 1.75” with Velcro inner belt is the sauce. I’ve had many other brands and LD is great.
 
Highly recommend Blue Alpha and Ronin Tactics.

I currently use the latter and it still retains the rigidity after 4+ years.

What kind of attachment system do you plan on running?

If using teklok (blade tech) or els (red hill tactical clone version of teklok), I recommend the kore essentials 10 lb rated nylon that’s made in USA.
 
I ended up going with the Esstac Enhanced Shooter's Belt and their pouches. I got a roll of velcro one-wrap to attach everything.
 
I've run a Wilderness Original Instructor belt for IDPA competitions and shooting classes for years. Love it.

Using a Kore Essentials, with a True North Concepts hanger, and they are excellent
