G-Code Scorpion Assaulter's System

We're gonna talk about the scorpion assaulter belt system from G Code G Code holsters you can find it tactical holsters.com, and I love G Code stuff. They make some great stuff that we talk about all the time with our students' personal offense network, but an assaulter belt might not sound like personal defense network kind of thing, right? But if you think about it, this whole genre, if you will, of equipment called the Battle belt, you know, having your, your go to, your go belt, your go. Your vest your stuff staged for home defense, but one of the things we're always talking about is having a holster ready for your home defense gun in the area where you stage it, preferably a holster that is easy on, easy off, and we talk about a belt clip, for example, versus a paddle paddle would be easy to kind of slip into your pajamas, sweatpants, whatever it is you're wearing around the house, but with a full belt, something like this a saulter belt system which has a quick clip, easy padded inner belt. All the things you want, you can actually be wearing nothing and still in the middle of the night when you pull the gun out of your quick access safe, have the system ready to go.

And what's nice about this system first of all, it's G code and it's really top of the line like everything here is incredibly well made. There's a lot of options we're gonna talk about the options when you put together your, your, you'll see all the drop down menus. What kind of pouches do you want? What kind of belt buckle do you want? Most people, if you're, you're gonna be using this a lot on the range, if you were an armed professional think.

About using this, you know, in a military law enforcement, um, a very high threat security position, something like that, you're gonna want these cobra buckles. The cobra buckles are nice. Um, they do have a plastic buckle option, um, but these are, are kind of the go to standard for hard use gear. Now they're, they're clicky, noisy, you'll hear even on this table, right? They get the the metal is gonna clank around.

That might be the only reason other than saving a little money that you'd want to go with the plastic belt, um, but these things are just incredibly durable for field use. What I'm thinking here and the reason I'm talking about a system is that. Uh, whether, whether you're, you're going to the range for your competition, you're going to the range to practice, you're going to a training class, you know, we want people to, you know, train like they anticipate they're gonna need to fight, of course, uh, concealed carry, don't wear this assaulter belt system if you're going primarily to train for concealed carry defensive use of a firearm. But if you're just working on the mechanical skills or if you're thinking about preparation for home defense and you're going to have a belt like this staged with your rifle with your defensive pistol in. Barricade space then sure it does make sense to go to the range with this.

Uh there are obviously different holsters on the RTI module that locks in. We can remove this holster and we could put on a duty type holster, right, a level 3 retention holster. We can put on a holster for a different gun. Maybe there's another gun we're gonna use for competition and we're gonna use this as our competition rig belt, right? But we're also gonna have a holster that goes on there at night when it's staged in our home.

For maybe our concealed carry gun that goes into a quick access safe, and we don't want to have our concealed carry system in the middle of the night for for pajamas or boxer shorts or whatever so we're gonna have this assaulter rig belt set up. Let's talk about the belt itself, um, really, really well made, as I said, all the stitching, all the set up, all the thoughts that go into it, uh, the inner padded belt is what I've got attached here. Obviously that's gonna be like a hook and loop attachment. What this does is this will cover up all of the hard hook that goes into the soft loop and provide a nice padded background. So if you are going to throw this belt on in the middle of the night, you've got this keeping you from getting any kind of obviously in the middle of a fight, you're probably not worried about it, but think about going back to the range again if you're practicing with this, it's gonna be a lot more comfortable all day long.

It's, it's a load bearing belt, so it isn't intended to actually hold. You don't need suspenders. You don't need to clip it in anything. You don't necessarily need to attach it to an inner belt, and that's what this padded belt is for. Although I do have the loop side inner belt here, if I were to take this off, then I'd have even more stability if you're thinking about using this as like a duty belt from a law enforcement perspective, you have the hard hook here going into the soft loop that's actually on your your uniform pants or if you were doing.

In this with a with a a jacket over it as kind of a medium low visibility tactical set up something like that um certain law enforcement, security, military positions, then this is going to secure to your actual pants as well with this inner belt and again this is one of the options. Do you want just the padded belt for the range use? Do you want just the inner belt for a uniform duty use? or do you want to go ahead and get both of them? And if you get both of them it's gonna be a discount.

Another option that you're gonna have is pouches. Uh, now that this system comes with two pistol pouches and 2 rifle pouches. I took this one off because I want to talk about the pouches themselves. They're incredibly well made. Um, they are adjustable tension in the sense that I can use um this stop to pull out on the elastic band and then cinch it up.

So if I want to use a single stack magazine. As I have with my my carry gun, and I'm gonna stick that in there. I've got it pretty tight in there and it's gonna be just fine. This is not going anywhere, even loaded with extra weight, with extra inertia. I get it.

This isn't going anywhere. It's got a lot of friction front to back, and that's where it's being squeezed, but you'll see that it's smooth on the sides and again this will work with a single stack or a double stack, which means that when you think about grabbing the. Magazine and bringing it to the gun you're gonna be able to put that side pressure either to the back or probably to the front is where you're gonna be pulling it and that's gonna almost open the pouch up and create an opportunity for you to get it out very quickly and smoothly. But just in everyday operation, once you get it slammed down in there, it's not going anywhere. Um, it's gonna be well attached with the R2 or in this case the P2 because this is the pistol pouch.

Attachment system that goes into the belt. Now when you go into the belt, what you're going to find is there's a little, little give here. There's a little space for your P2 or your R2 clips to move front to back. What that is going to allow is a little bit of shifting when you're actually moving around with the systems with the system on. You don't want this to be too rigid, but you also don't want these things sliding around and moving 2 or 34 different inches away from where you're going to plan on.

Grabbing that pistol magazine or planning on grabbing that rifle magazine or anything else that you're gonna have on the belt, so this is really well thought out and you also see that that this is, this is rugged, this is durable, this is not thin nylon crap that's just gonna fall apart. You also will see that as with all the G code stuff, it's just super high quality. There aren't any little strings or frays hanging out that could eventually either rub on something else or get caught on something else and lead to uh this thing falling apart 10 minutes after you set it up. Um, again, taking this off, um, I will say that putting these together, these P2 and R2 clips, they use a collar system that once you get everything set up right, you slip around this area and it's not the easiest thing to take apart. There's a lot of talk on the internet, not the easiest thing to take apart or put back together, which is why I'm not doing it on camera, but it, but it for reasons, right?

You want this to be very secure. You don't want this moving around. You don't want it spinning around. You don't want to lose it. Um, there are short and tall versions, right?

So with the pistol rounds, if you were, let's say you were running a personal defense weapon, you're running a subgun, maybe something like the Nemo mongoose or uh Grand Power or an MP5, and you wanted to use long pistol mags, maybe in your configuration you're gonna opt for no rifle mags, you're gonna get 3 or 4 of the pistol mags, and let's talk about why you might want that many in a personal defense or home defense scenario, um, that many pouches. Not necessarily for mags, but you might go with the tall ones for those taller stick mags. And if you have a stick mag for your home defense gun as your backup magazine in a worst case scenario, then you'd want the tall ones as well. Same thing goes for the rifle. So if you had the 40 round mags or you had, uh, maybe longer AK mags or something like that, you might go with the tall instead of the short.

Personally, I think you get plenty of grip on the short even with like a full size double stack duty 1718, 20 round mag, um, you're gonna get more to grip and pull out. You're not gonna. Have the magazine covered up, you know, 4/5 of the way and have less grip and less purchase to be able to quickly get it out when you need it when you're reloading your guns, dealing with a malfunction, something like that. So I would, I would say most people are gonna go with the short mag. Now what am I talking about?

Why do you want so many mag pouches in that personal defense situation? Well, one reason would be two different weapon systems, right? 2 different defensive tools. I've got my handgun that's gonna be in that quick access safe, but I might also have a long gun staged for my defensive barricade position, right? So sure, if I'm gonna have.

Go to the kids' room. I'm probably gonna want to move through my house more with the pistol as my primary tool. I like the idea of being in the holster. I like the idea of being staged. We talked about that, but if I am going to be static and I'm gonna be barricading this position, family behind me, I'm watching that door.

I'm watching that corner of the hallway. I'm watching the top of the stairs, well then I'm gonna want my my magazines for this system as well. Um, obviously in this case I'm using assert stick. If you had a 9 millimeter, uh, congruent system where you had a PDW that used both the same mag and the pistol and the rifle, longer long gun. So be it.

The other thing you can do with these pouches, I'm gonna loosen this up a little bit to get a little bit more play. These pouches could be used for other things. Obviously they're designed to be mag pouches, but there's no reason that you couldn't use these very high quality pieces of gear that go with this system to hold something else. So I could have this on the pouch, and now I've got a light staged in my barricade space so that when I put this on, I don't have to worry about where's my flashlight. I don't have to worry.

Where is my medical kit? My medical kit is here too. Maybe I'm gonna have a light stick on here, you know, a chem light that I'm gonna break open and use that if I need to instead of worrying about light switches in the house, things like that. Maybe I'm gonna have something like, uh, if you haven't seen this, we've done some, some reviews on this and talked about what it is, uh, here at Personal Events Network. This is a reusable, rechargeable, uh, distraction device, right?

Um, so this thing could clip on with its. You know, kind of standard clip, um, low end just this is something to give you to carry this thing around on. I could put this in a pouch from G code or I could attach this pouch to the Scorpion assaulter system, right? Um, so it's universal in that way, but what I do love about it is it is a system, as I said. So let's think about how this is gonna work, right?

I'm gonna have my pistol. It's gonna be in my quick access safe, right? So I've got that in there staged, right? I'm the only one who can get to it, uh. In the middle of the night, the bump happens, you know, I've got cameras, I've got lights, I got an alarm.

I got a barking dog, whatever it is. If I have imminent contact, well then I'm just gonna go to the quick access safe and get the gun out and I'm ready to go, right? If I'm gonna have to go somewhere, I don't want to be running around with the gun. So I might open this up right and be ready to go, but I'm gonna take the, the 4 seconds, 6 seconds, whatever it might be to go ahead and throw this system on and now I'm in the staged position. I've got my light.

If I have it on here, I've got my medical kit. I've got the spare mags whatever else is I think I might need, and now I'm ready to go to my kid's room and now I'm ready to go over and lock the door because the guy was bounding on an outside door. I don't need to go run down there and confront him. I've got this here. The leg strap.

Now you can find a lot of videos of me talking about why we don't want drop leg holsters and Han Solo looks and all that. Um, this is what uh G Code calls the optimal drop is the standard setup. Optimal drop is just get it out of the way of other stuff. If I were using this in a professional capacity, I have my armor on it soft body armor, uniform shirt, um, a backpack, whatever it is I may have, this gets it just low enough. So that it's out of the way and I can get a good grip on the gun.

You'll see if I go ahead and engage this, and this is something you have to think about. If you're never going to use this, then you might not even want it on there, or you might at least want to cinch it up so it's not going to be dangling and getting tangled on things. But be aware that especially if you're not using that inner velcro belt in this middle of the night scenario, when I draw, I need to make sure that my retention is set so that I can get the gun out quickly. And I need to have a practiced good jaw stroke that isn't doing that, that I'm not coming in, grabbing the gun, pulling it against my body, and coming in this way, which is gonna be obviously fixed very quickly and easily. Again, if I have an extra couple of seconds, I can attach this cobra buckle and now I'm much less likely to get that flare.

You can see the gun will come out, the holster will rotate out a little bit, but even in the worst case scenario of slapping this and pressing it again. My body, I'm not entangling it. I'm not getting it, you know, impinged because of the angle and pulling it into my body, so that's another one of those dangers with a long drop like, especially if it's not secured well, um, with a strap. And, and again we go back to G code super high quality, this rubber liner on the inside, even against your skin again we're talking about an emergency situation, this is going to again be secure and keep it from sliding around, rolling around, things like that. Uh, the, the system, the scorpion system, it's not cheap.

This is not an entry level piece of gear, and if it's just staging for home defense in that kind of worst case scenario of the worst case scenario where you also are going to want the holster on and not need the gun in your hand, I can understand somebody going to the website and looking at this and saying, Rob, I just don't get it. Why would I spend that much? I get that, but if you want the best gear, the highest quality gear, the best system, the most versatile system, and you are going to use it at the range, or especially if you're an armed professional that needs this gear anyway, it's gonna be hard to beat the scorpion system from GC code.
