Sooooooooooo... I'm thinking it's time to move away from the Kydex and get a real competition holster and mag pouches, but I don't want to do that until I've got a belt that I know they'll fit on. Who makes "larger" under and over belts in a size that will accommodate most race holsters currently available (ie, NOT Bianchi... the belt is 1.75" IIRC-- most popular race holsters have 1.5" belt "loops").
Anyone have any suggestions (aside from the obvious , which I'm working on)?
Your help is appreciated.

I didn't know you could get Safariland belts that large!
Anyway . . . I used to use a double belt system in the deep, dark past. What I did was get two of the smaller sized underbelts and overbelts and just connected them like a daisy chain. This is semi-affordable if you go with a nylon outer belt (mine was a 1.5 Bianchi). You can sew them together to make it permanent too.
Now I just use the same stuff I carry with all the time. It's easier.

300lb Gorilla,
Ah to be ONLY 300lbs again! I too am a BFG (big fat guy) and use the double-double belt system. Cumbersome, but workable.
TheOtherErik,
You missed an “s” on your link, try this.

Another BFG checking in. I recently order the double belt from Shooters Connection in 52". (Did I say that out loud?) Anyway it works great and I had it the next day.
I am the key to my shooting success!!!

Cool... thanks, guys. Yeah, I guess the Double-Double thing would've worked... didn't occur to me, plus I'm JUST out of the range... methinks two 28-inch belts would have been a little long. I'm at about 50-51.
Yeah, I wish I was ONLY 300 lbs, too! I'm stuck at 314, though. Made the choice to start losing weight last June. Had my gallbladder removed late October and by November I had lost about 55-70 pounds (not exactly sure because the doc's office scale didn't measure that high). Now, no matter what I do I can't seem to drop any more poundage. A binge puts on a few pounds but a good hour dropping Little Boy (or Fat Man) on the porcelain throne brings me right back down. Like I said, I'm working on it, but I do like having to have my clothes altered to fit (smaller, that is).
Now I just have to figure out if I want to go the Ghost Holster route with my Grock and whether to go for the CR-Speed mag holders or Safariland 771s.
Again, THANKS!!!

My Big Dave just ordered Safarilands from Chuck @ Shooters Connection - we got both belts for around $110 (I think!) And they do go to size 58 or 60 - he had been squeezing into a 48 and was just TICKLED with the new ones!!!
We actually ordered them TOO big and had to send them back, so be sure to order your waist size. Or just plus one!
GET THE LIMCAT HOLSTER AND MAG POUCHES
They can NOT be beat for adjustability - TRUST ME on this one - we both aren't little people and they are the only ones that we've been able to wear comfortably!!!!

When you look at the game nothing in it is terribly complicated. The silver bullet(s) are basically two things IMO. One is confidence to get done what you know you can do when you need to do it. So, take all that hard work and practice and then actually execute in a match. In order to do that, go with the second silver bullet - get out of your own way.

Step up to the line with your mind clean (doubt-free), fully prepared, and confident, and what happens will be within your control.

Maybe someone should offer us a special deal on extra large double belts and a pair of cleats package.

Shooter Grrl... good to know on the sizing thing. Only problem with the Limcat is that I'm shooting a Grock... I ain't down with that level of modification to my trigger/trigger guard. 
Plus I got the gun used, and it's already been drilled for the GH.
rhino, I find I need all the ankle protection I can get... I'm partial to my Merrell Chameleon Ventilator boots. I also have a pair of Nike Destroyer cleats that I have from my paintball days... they work great for IPSC cause the cleats are little nubs rather than big fat things that help you flub up your ankles on anything that isn't dirt or grass.
Shooter's Connection, here I come.

Found out that Rescomp/CR Speed makes big belts, too!
And they're uber stiff!
http://www.rescomp.c...20holsters.html about 2/3rds of the way down.

Thanks for the pointer!
If I ever decide to go with a race rig, now I know where to get a good double belt system!
