Pro Competition Rig Setup Instructions
- Flip the inner belt. It ships inside out. Turn it so the fuzzy side faces out, then thread it through your pant loops. If the fuzzy side faces in, the outer belt has nothing to grip.
- Set up the mag pouches before they go on the belt. They ship set up for double stack magazines. For single stack 1911 magazines, take out the thumb screw (top right, by hand) and the retention screw (bottom left, 2mm Allen key), swap in the thinner spacers from the included bag, and put both screws back in.
- Mount the mag pouches. Loosen the 5mm Allen screw on the pouch (it sets the ride height and angle) so you can reach the four 2mm screws on the belt attachment. Loosen the four 2mm screws to open up the attachment, fit it on the belt, and tighten them back down.
- Mount the holster. Loosen the three 2.5mm Allen screws on the front of the holster's belt attachment to open it. Fit it on the outer belt and tighten the three screws. On a 1.75'' belt, take out the tab while the attachment is open. The belt has to be at least 6mm thick for the attachment to hold without moving (the outer belt in this rig is 9mm).
- Layout. Put the holster on your right hip. Line the four mag pouches up on the left side. Check your division's equipment rules before a match.
- Adjust the holster. With an unloaded pistol, loosen the two Phillips screws that hold the shell to the aluminum plate, set the ride height and angle, and tighten them again. Then set the retention with the two thumb screws on the shell, by hand. Tighter holds the pistol more securely while you move. Looser lets it draw with less effort.
- Adjust the mag pouches. Set each pouch's angle and ride height, then tighten the 5mm screw. Then set how tightly each pouch holds the magazine with its two retention screws: turn the top thumb screw by hand, and the bottom screw with a 2mm Allen key. Tighter holds the magazine more securely while you move. Looser lets it come out with less effort.
- Lock the screws. Once everything is where you want it, put a drop of removable (medium strength) thread locker on every screw: the mag pouch screws and all the holster screws (belt attachment, plate, thigh bumper and the two Phillips screws). Don't use a permanent thread locker, because it can seize the screws so they won't come out. Check every screw before you shoot.
- Put it on. Wrap the outer belt over the inner belt and press it down so the hook and loop lock together. Close the end with the belt keeper.
