I am proud to announce the launch of my branded competition belt, made to the spec of the top-selling brands.
mdgardner.com Competition Belt
Please note: If you need to order a size or color that is out of stock, it will be $80 with DAA branding. Thank you for understanding!
Why does the belt need to be so big?
Remember that your underbelt and gear also increase your waist dimension! As well, when the weather is foul, you may want to tuck extra layers of clothing underneath the belt. If in doubt, always choose the larger size. You can make a larger belt smaller but you can’t make a smaller one larger.
Using the method above should leave you an overlap of approximately 6-8”, and you want that so that the velcro has enough surface area to bond tightly and hold the weight of all your gear.

How to order the correct number of links
Here is the link to the measurement tool: https://www.doublealpha.biz/ca/daa-lynx-belt
- Wear your current inner belt (if you don’t have one - use any thin belt).
- Use a flexible tape-measure (or string) to measure your waist circumference on top of the inner belt.
- Enter that dimension as shown below (use inches or centimeters as preferred), and see how many links you need. (it is rounded up, so you may have an extra link)
- Select your links in any color combination.
The following is how I figured out my 34” pants requirement:
You might add one or two extra-in-case links!

LYNX 1/2 Link Extension
A103584 |
LYNX 1/2 Link Extension |
$10 |
The Lynx Belt Half Link Extension Piece is a solution to requests received by some shooters using the unique DAA Lynx belts, wanting to be able to extend the length of their belt by half a link’s length only.
While we did design the expanding buckle piece to have a range of expansion larger than the length of a single link, some users have said they like to keep the buckle tight – and adding a full length Link makes it looser than they would prefer. Others have commented that they would like an easy way to adjust the belt length just a little, to compensate for shooting with more or less clothing tucked in.
Here at DAA we listen to our customer’s suggestions, and are pleased to offer this new Lynx belt accessory. Currently, this part is 3D printed by the most advanced Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology, which produces a strong and accurate part, made of reinforced Nylon12.
The Lynx Belt Half Link Extension Piece clicks onto your existing belt’s end piece, without the need to replace it. you don’t need to go looking for your punch and hammer to remove a pin from the belt – you can click the extension on, or remove it in seconds – no tools required.

LYNX Ratchet Buckle, and Roll Pins and Punch
A103085 |
LYNX Ratchet Buckle |
$30 |
The optional DAA Lynx Belt Ratchet Buckle system provides several benefits over the standard, compact Lynx buckle. The ratchet mechanism permits a greater range of length adjustability, allowing for easier compensation for changes in clothing tucked under the belt. Additionally, it allows for quick loosening and tightening of the belt between stages, making it convenient to quickly tighten when moving to the shooting line, and loosen while waiting.
The DAA Lynx Belt Ratchet Buckle comes with two black links that have been pre-drilled and attached to the buckle and strap using steel threaded inserts. The buckle itself is constructed from a combination of steel and aluminum parts for superior strength and durability. The 23mm wide rubber strap offers a 16cm range of length adjustability.
We suggest wearing the buckle at the front, between the holster and the first pouch, with the rubber strap's tail extending towards the pouches. The strap can be shortened if desired, and if you wish to reverse the buckle's direction, you can do so by disassembling the screws and reassembling them in reverse orientation.
 These come with the original buckle but if you buy the ratchet buckle, you will need these pins to put the Lynx belt together.
 A custom made handy little steel punch tool, designed to make removing the rolls pins quick and easy. Should you need to remove a link, or wish to insert another, removing the roll pin can be difficult without a punch tool.
With this little tool, the task is easy, and being compact and lightweight lets you leave it in your range bag tool kit. Total length: 70mm Head diameter: 6mm Shaft diameter: 2.5mm.

Magazine Pouches
|
Alpha-XiP Mag Pouch
Black is in stock, colours are special order.
The DAA Alpha-XiP magazine pouch is a more affordable version of our flag-ship Alpha-Xi pouch. By incorporating an injection-moulded pouch body instead of the CNC machined aluminum and anodized pouch body of the Alpha-Xi, we are able to offer all the same great features at a substantially lower price!
The Polymer used in the pouch body of the Alpha-XiP is a glass-fiber reinforced PA66 material, which is extremely hard and durable. This allows us to use the same mounting system as used in the aluminum body. Other than the pouch body material itself, the Alpha XiP and Alpha Xi are identical. Both incorporate the same Aluminum ball-joint hanger and include a full set of spacers to support a wide array of magazines.
The Polymer body is not only cheaper than the aluminum option, but it also will not show scratches or wear over time as the aluminum tends to. And while it does not use color inlays as the Alpha-Xi does – it is currently available in 7 striking colors, including Black, Blue, Red, Grey, White, Purple and Orange.(NB - I only stock black, colours are special order, around 3 week delivery)
The Alpha XiP pouch body offers 8 connection points to choose from – three height positions each for Right-hand or Left-hand shooters, and two height options for bullets-out mounting. A Key-seat engagement is used in combination with the custom wide-head screw, to prevent any possible wiggle, movement or weakness.
The ball joint is held in the aluminum belt hanger using a pressure coupling with a large T25 Torx M6 Screw. This offers a totally secure lock up and the option to make minute adjustments to the pouch’s angle and tilt.
To further elevate the quality and durability of the product, the Allen screws have all been replaced with T20 and T25 Torx-head screws, and a custom made key which incorporates both these sizes is included.
The Alpha-XiP utilizes the wrap-around spacers, which align all magazine sizes in the center of the pouch body, while fully enveloping them with polymer, to prevent any possible binding and to create the smoothest draw of the magazine.
The spacer system incorporates a height-adjustable bridge support under the magazine, allowing the user to determine how deeply the magazine seats into the pouch.
Three sets of spacers are included as standard with every pouch, to fit all double-stack magazines (excluding the very large Glock/HK .45 mags). A single-stack spacer adaptor is available too and is sold as an accessory.

Single-Stack Spacer for Alpha-Xi/Alpha-XiP Mag Pouch
A102915 |
Single-Stack Spacer for Alpha-Xi/Alpha-XiP Mag Pouch |
$7 |
The Alpha-Xi / XiP Mag pouch is designed wide enough to hold most double-Stack magazine, and supplied with 3 sets of spacers to fit a wide variety of those magazines.
Single-Stack 1911 shooters who wish to use these pouches too, and take advantage of their unique features and performance can now do so, thanks to this optional Single-Stack Spacer, sold separately.
This Spacer slides into the pouch rail as the other spacers do, and enables the height adjustment of the magazine, using the same bridge part, which is supplied with the pouch. The spacer is symmetrical, adding support left and right side of the magazine, positioning it in the center of the pouch body, for best looks and performance.
The 1911 magazines require the use of the Thin pressure spacer, included with the pouch, and as used with 2011 magazines.

Racer Single Stack mag pouch
Racer Single Stack mag pouch |
A101364 |
$50 |
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 Magnetic Mag Pouches
Magnetic Mag Pouch |
#A100474 |
$50 |
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 Stack Magnetic pouch
Double Stack Magnetic pouch |
A102241 |
$50 |
This style has proven very successful for single stack magazines and take up less real estate on your belt than the conventional mounted pouches. Two 20mm round magnets hold the magazine firmly inside the pouch track for secure retention yet allowing a smooth and effective release. The mount is typical of the Racer/RaceMaster pouches allowing lots of adjustment for angle.

Single Stack Magnetic Pouch
Single Stack Magnetic Pouch |
|
$45 |
It positions the magazine only in the 90 degree angle from the belt but has adjustment for tilt. Two small powerful magnets hold the magazine firmly in place while allowing it to rest inside its supporting track. The same high quality belt mount is used as with all DAA Racer mag pouches.
This narrow design allows more single stack mags than conventional front/back alignment. Can be used right or left handed.

Double Alpha Mag Pouches
Deluxe Magnetic Pouch |
#A101164 |
$55 |
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 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 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.

DAA Magnet with M5 screw for Alpha-Xi/X and Race Master pouch
DAA Magnet with M5 screw for Alpha-Xi/X and Race Master pouch |
A101094 |
$35 |
Due to popular demand we are now pleased to offer you the DAA Super-Strong magnets, sold separately, for mounting on the DAA Alpha-Xi / Alpha-X / Race Master pouches, or any other type of base you care to use them on.
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 an Alpha-Xi / Alpha-X / 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 may need to tap (thread) this hole using an M5 Tap. Most current pouches are already threaded.
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.

DAA 48mm Magnet Cover
DAA 48mm Magnet Cover |
A103145 |
$18 |
Designed to perfectly fit on the DAA 48mm large magnets, this cover is custom made from durable nylon, rubber coated, and incorporates a laser-cut stainless-steel (430) DAA Logo.
The logo itself is what firmly holds the cover in place – being made of magnetic stainless-steel, and thus attracted to the magnet.
Most serious shooters carry one of these large magnets on their belts, as they are real time savers on pick-up stages. But let’s face it – those magnets can be a pain, picking up steel debris sticking to your car interior or those metal storage cupboards.
This cover does not completely eliminate the magnetic pull, but it greatly reduces it to where it’s no longer an issue.
The magnetic pull through the cover is still just strong enough to hold a magazine during a Load or Unload procedure, but not strong enough to be trustworthy when running.
So leave the cover on until that stage in which you need your pick-up magnet, pop the cover off before the stage, and drop it in your pocket until after you’re done.

Alpha-Xi Metal Pouch
Alpha-Xi Metal Pouch |
A101283 |

SPECIAL ORDER ITEM! May take 3-4 weeks to deliver
Note that the picture shows a gold colored laser-cut plastic inlay, which is available as an extra
The Alpha-Xi magazine pouches have evolved from the Alpha-X mag pouches introduced in early 2018.
The new pouch has a striking modern look with large side cut-outs around the tension wheel. The smaller wheel used is not only convenient to rotate but now make it possible to easily mount a large magnet on the outside face of the pouch body.
The main advancement in the Alpha-Xi design is the manner in which the belt-hanger ball-joint attaches to the pouch body. In the new Alpha-Xi design, the ball-joint is attached using a custom-made wide-head screw which fits through the aluminum side wall of the pouch, making it extremely durable and strong.
 The Alpha Xi pouch body offers 8 connection points to choose from – three height positions each for Right-hand or Left-hand shooters, and two height options for bullets-out mounting. A Key-seat engagement is used in combination with the custom wide-head screw, to prevent any possible wiggle, movement or weakness.
The ball joint is held in the aluminum belt hanger using a pressure coupling with a large T25 Torx M6 Screw. This offers a totally secure lock up and the option to make minute adjustments to the pouch’s angle and tilt.
To further elevate the quality and durability of the product, the Allen screws have all been replaced with T20 and T25 Torx-head screws, and a custom made key which incorporates both these sizes is included.
The Alpha-Xi utilizes the same wrap-around spacers (but not identical parts), which align all magazine sizes in the center of the pouch body, while fully enveloping them with polymer, to prevent any possible binding and to create the smoothest draw of the magazine.
The spacer system incorporates a height-adjustable bridge support under the magazine, allowing the user to determine how deeply the magazine seats into the pouch.
Three sets of spacers are included as standard with every pouch, to fit all double-stack magazines (excluding the very large Glock/HK .45 mags). A single stack spacer adaptor is available too and is sold as an accessory.
And finally, a dash of color and personalization can be added with the laser-cut plastic inlays, available for user installation in several colors, $7 extra.
See also Alpha-Xi Mag pouch Single-Stack Spacer for Single-Stack 1911 shooters who wish to use these pouches too.

Magnetic Moon-clip holder
A101892 |
8-Shot Magnetic Moon-clip holder |
$35 |
The popular magnetic Moon Clip Holder is now available for the 8 shot 9mm! These are suitable for the moon clips as used in the S&W 929, and can handle both 9mm and longer .38/.357 ammo.
The concept of holding the moon clip magnetically is not a new one, but we have taken it a couple of meaningful steps forward.
Our magnet is custom made, shaped specifically to fit between the rounds on a 8-shot 9mm moon clip, providing increased surface contact area with the steel of moon-clip, for increased grip. The vertical stem is also shaped, countered to match the bullets held in the moon-clip. This serves to index them, forcing them into the same position all the time – improving your consistency as you grab them to reload.
The vertical stem can be tilted to the sides, allowing you to position the moon clip at the angle best suiting your needs. The solid material structure ensures these holders are extremely durable and very unlikely to break, even if you are forced to go prone.
The DAA belt clip hanger, as used on our Racer pouches, provides two height positions, and a secure solid attachment to your 1.5” belt. The very slim steel plates on the back of the belt hanger are of extra value for the revolver shooter, as so many moon clip holders are use side by side. This slim designed ensures your inner and outer belt stay well stuck together.
*The moon clip holders are shipped with a 4mm thick magnet. The retention strength this magnet creates will depend on the type of moon clip you are using, and how magnetic it’s steel is. We have found it strong enough for all moon clips we have tried.

10-Pack 929 Moon Clips
A101965 |
10-Pack 929 Moon Clips
|
$75 |
These 9mm Moon Clips are designed for the SW 929 9mm revolver.
Laser cut from hardened 413 stainless steel with hardness of 44RC make them very durable and resistant to deforming. The material is magnetic designed so the extractor ensures more overlap when used with DAA 8-shot magnetic moon clip holders.
Give one of these a try and you will be looking for more of them!
