I’ve been working on my duty belt lately for my MP gear. I had a basic nylon belt with handcuff cases, leg iron straps, and a key holder. It seemed a bit empty, so I decided to augment the belt with other useful items. No weapon holders or weaponry will be on the belt for many reasons. If nothing else, going into a bar with weapons is usually banned and unnecessary. Using the USMC regulations for duty belts as a guide has also helped make my decision.

My duty belt now consists of:

  • Key Holder with backing
  • Two open top handcuff cases (hinged and chain)
  • C-Cell Flashlight holder / flashlight
  • Velcro-strap handcuff holder (high-security)
  • Two leather snapping straps (for leg irons)
  • Radio holder / radio and microphone
  • Rubber glove case (double)
  • Alarm holder (working out its function)

With all that, it seems pretty full and functional. I can hogcuff two prisoners if needed at the same time with a third also in handcuffs. From what I’ve been told in the past with the old setup, it was already “intimidating”. This should help. What do you think?

Went for a ride recently. Been trying to get more photos and video. So far, I think I’ve been enjoying my new gear quite a bit. What do you think?

Different angle on the boots. Love how Alpinestars boots look.
The bike, out on Angeles Crest Highway.

Had some fun in my leathers and on my motorcycle today. I took the opportunity to get photos with my new gear and motorcycle, and finally ride Angeles Crest Highway (California State 2) for the first time with my “new” motorcycle. I say “new” as, while I’ve had it since February 2019, it has 19,500 miles on it. All of those miles are in leather, so that has certainly made it more fun.
