Choosing the Right Belt Size

There seems to be some confusion on how to order your belt. Here is the simple method; if you wear a size 32" pant (on the label inside), you order a 34" belt, one size larger than the label in your pants. You can always make a belt smaller, you cannot make it bigger!

The Double Alpha Academy belts give us the same advice but provide this handy chart to make it simple:

   SIZE

= Overall Length

   SIZE

= Overall Length

32"

100cm/39.4"

42"

131cm/51.6"

34"

105cm/41.3"

44"

136cm/53.5"

36"

116cm/45.7"

46"

141cm/55.5"

38"

121cm/47.6"

48"

146cm/57.5"

40"

126cm/49.6"

50"

151cm/59.5"

You should have a 15-25cm/6-10" overlap. Remember that your underbelt and gear increase your waist dimension. As well, when the weather is foul, you can fit a snappy IPSC Canada long sleeve T-shirt or hoody underneath:)


Double Alpha Competition Belt

Competition Belt

$50

The Double-Alpha Competition Belt is available in Black, Blue or Red, with the color boldly displayed in the wide middle section of the belt, not the trims.


* Top quality material and workmanship.
* Industrial strength Velcro of the highest standard.
* Both inner and outer belt have their size clearly tagged.
* Competition width 1.5”, to fit with all shooting gear used.
* Overlap length is already calculated in – so if you are a size 36” pant – you order a size 36” belt.
* Sizes available from 32” – 50”
* Smaller sizes (32”-34”) have an 18cm (7”) overlap section, while larger belts (36” and up) have a 24cm (9.5”) overlap section. This is to ensure the smaller size users have enough space on their belts for all their magazines pouches.
* An attractive and functional safety loop is included with every belt, carrying an embroidered “AA” logo.

Magazine Pouches










Double Alpha Race Master Magazine Pouch

Race Master Magazine Pouch
Red, Blue and Silver colors

$65

We are proud to present our DAA Race Master Magazine Pouch!

First of its kind, this hi-tech magazine pouch was designed by Saul Kirsch, using advanced Cad-Cam software. It is the perfect complementary equipment for the now hugely successful DAA Race Master Holster.

Like the innovative Race Master Holster itself, the Race Master Pouch is a completely original design, unlike anything else seen on the market to date.

It is constructed from aluminum rather than plastic, and this allows a design and performance never before possible in a competition mag pouch. It offers a wider and more diverse range of adjustability and mounting options – and more important, locks rock-solid in the chosen position, not losing its settings until the user chooses to change them.

Its wide range of angle adjustments allows the user to position his magazine “just so”. This feature, combined with a unique and superior retention system, creates a smoother and more consistent release, leading to a more reliable and faster reload.

Unlike all other pouches, this pouch’s pressure adjustment wheel applies its load to the back of the magazine, squeezing the mag tube from back to front rather than from left to right, as most others do. This is a lot more effective, as the magazine’s front and back walls are straight and parallel, while the side walls are tapered on all double-stack mags. This type of contact creates a far smoother draw of the magazine. A few turns of the wheel changes the tension from very loose to very tight, as may be required on a particular course of fire.

The DAA Race Master Magazine Pouch is suitable for right- or left-handed shooters, for all double-stack magazines, and is available in Black, Silver, Blue, or Red.


Please note! The DAA Race Master Aluminium pouches are supplied with 2 sets of spacers. The first set (assembled) is designed to fit the 2011 STI magazines. It will work perfectly also for SV, Para, SPS, BUL M5 and any other wide body 2011 type mag we have tried.

The Second set of inserts are designed for the CZ SP01 mags. They are a perfect fit also for the small Tanfoglio mags. For other model magazines, some fitting may be required. It may be necessary to remove some material from the back side of the side spacer, to allow more room for slightly wider mags. This we have seen with Glock and S&W M&P mags, and is sure to be the case with others. This fitting can be done in minutes with a piece of flat sandpaper, or in seconds with a belt sander.

Also, please note that these pouches are made of aluminium. It is to be expected that the steel magazines will scratch and burr the top edges of the pouch over time, however this has no effect on the function of the pouch.



Classic Division?

If you are getting into the new Classic Division, you'll need adapters for your mag pouches for the single stack mags. These adapters are $10 each. You must specify that you need adapters when ordering, thanks!




Double Alpha Racer Magazine Pouch

Racer Magazine Pouch
Red, Blue and Silver colors

$32

The DAA Racer pouches borrow heavily from the Race Master Pouch. It uses the very same body design, modified it to suit plastic moulding requirements, while maintaining the exact same unique “pressure from the back” adjustable holding system that has proven so successful. Interchangeable inserts allow you to go from larger 2011 mags to smaller CZ/Tan mags. A single stack spacer is available as an accessory as well.

The pouch is completely ambidextrous, allowing easy mounting for left hand or right had users. You can even mount the pouch at 90degrees away from your body, just as you can in the RM version.

The belt-hanger of the pouch utilizes the same minimalist steel plate design, which eliminates separation between your inner and outer belt. The belt hanger has been simplified though - there is no ball joint as in the aluminum RM pouch, as that could simply not be realized in plastic in this size. However, the pouch can be adjusted for tilt in very small steps, allowing each shooter to find the right angle for their preference. Once the correct angle is set, and the centre screw tightened, the serrations in the connector piece lock up, preventing any possibility of the pouch rotating until the centre screw is loosened several turns.

While these pouches may not offer the unique look and feel of the all aluminum Race Master pouches, or the ball joint tilt base, they are robust and durable, and the performance you can expect is very bit as good as that of its big brother.

And with a price tag of a little over half the Race Master pouches, the Racer Pouch will be the perfect choice for many.

Available in Black, blue, Red and Grey/Silver.

NOTE THAT YOU NOW HAVE A NEW OPTION! SEE THE RACER SINGLE STACK MAG POUCH BELOW.




Racer Single Stack mag pouch

Racer Single Stack mag pouch

A101364

$32

For those dedicating a rig specifically to Classic or not wanting spacers on their RaceMaster/Racer pouches, these are the ticket. All the features of the double stack pouch but designed for single only. A bit smaller and lighter which won't hurt when lugging all that gear around your waist.

This is a tooled new pouch body, custom made specifically for 1911 Single Stack magazines, a pouch absolutely as slim as possible. We even did away with the inner side spacer, and ”hid” the head of the center screw in the side wall. The entire pouch body measures only 20 mm wide! The opening of the pouch is beveled on three sides to facilitate easier insertion of the magazine into the pouch. The slick inner surface ensures smooth consistent release.

Please note!

These single stack pouches will work only with 1911 style Single stack magazines which follow the standard external dimensions! (roughly 13.7mm 0.54” wide, and 34.8mm 1.37” from back to front).

It has come to our attention that some manufacturers are shortening the front to back length of their tubes for the 9mm calibers – and these will not work in our single stack pouches!


Double Alpha Mag Pouches

Deluxe Magnetic Pouch

$43

The DAA Deluxe Magnetic Pouch utilizes two powerful 32mm magnets to hold the magazine securely in place while providing a smoother release than that achieved from the larger standard Magnetic Pouch. The support side walls allow us to use smaller magnets which in turn make the pouches more useable as an all-round pouch for every day use, and not just as a designated pick-up Pouch.

For those shooters who like the simplicity and minimalist look of an open magnetic pouch - this is the perfect choice! The slim body make it possible to position pouches closer together while still leaving enough room to reach down and grab the magazine correctly. The lack of external or front pouch walls allow the pouches to be spaced that much closer together. Perfect for Standard or Production where one must wear the pouches behind the hip bone.

The pouch is attached to our new model belt hanger, which locks securely on any 1.5" belt, clamping down to hold tightly even on thinner belts. The pouch can be swivelled around the centre screw (lower magnet's middle) to angle the pouch as designed. The off-centre mounting point on the hanger offers the option of two heights to choose from. The pouch body is machined from solid Delrin and so is tough and durable. Available in Black only.

     

NOTE: Available for Right-Hand users only. Springfield XD magazines do NOT work on magnetic pouches.


Double Alpha Magnetic Mag Pouches

Magnetic Mag Pouch

$42

Oh yeah, gotta have at LEAST one of these for those "leave the mag on the table and pick up and load..." stages. With a bunch of those at the nationals, these proved to be a second saver. I use one in the #2 spot and it holds two. A solution for "Where do I put my stripper mag?" that has plagued us for years. And they DO hold very tightly.


Double Alpha Super-Strong Magnet
(FOR DOUBLE ALPHA OR OTHER MAG POUCHES)

Super-Strong Magnet

$35

Due to popular demand we are now pleased to offer you the DAA Super-Strong magnets, each sold separately, for mounting on the DAA Race Master pouches, or any other type of base you care to use them on. Does NOT include the pouch, only the magnet/adapter.

These Zinc plated magnets are incredibly strong, offering approx. 87kg of pull strength. With these magnets, you can slap on that magazine quickly and confidently and know that it will not fall off as you move. The magnets measure almost 50mm in diameter, and are 12mm thick (with their casing).


Fitting to a Race Master Pouch:

In the front of the pouch there is a 4.2mm hole, which can be used to attach the magnet to the pouch body. You will need to tap (thread) this hole using an M5 Tap. Do it carefully and slowly as the thread needs to be precise, as there is only a 2.5mm side wall to work with. once done, simply screw the magnet directly onto the front of your leading pouch. We suggest using a little LockTite on it, to keep the screw from opening.

Do not worry if the tip of the screw protrudes slightly into the pouch body - the magazine does not reach down far enough to hit it.


Double Alpha Magnetic Mag Pouch Adapter
(FOR CRSPEED MAG POUCHES)

Magnetic Adapter (CRSPEED)

$35

Renovate your regular CR Speed magazine pouch with this magnetic adapter! (Does NOT include the pouch, only the magnet/adapter.)


CR Speed Mag Pouches

Versa Pouch

$40

CR Speed Mag pouches are model specific and feature Angle & Retention adjustability. They fit most double stack mags and have adapters for single stack as well.
