WW2 U.S. Gear M-1936 Pistol Belt Adjustment & How to Attach Pouches

I’ve been asked several times how do you adjust the WW2 M-1936 pistol belt and also how to attach the M-1910 hooks to the belt so in this video I will simply give a demonstration hopefully this will help those who are wondering thanks for watching the web gear review 

[@historynerd1012]

Thanks for all the helpful tips I'm a 10-year-old kid who just started collecting this type of stuff and I really want to know how to put together my own kit

[@Ghillie-ghost_141]

Same I started about 2 years ago (8-10)

[@ExoticPlayz0221]

Me too I’m tryna put a canteen on my belt

[@maxwell.m33]

Ayy that's sick I'm 13 and have a really big collection and I'm sure you'll get there too

[@dickhurtz1862]

It's only wrong for us at home lol. Good video and thank you, My Grandfather served in WW1 & 2 so when I was a kid (10 years old ) I wanted to start camping he gave me all of his web gear from his time in. The frogs stuff is really tuff stuff. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I do miss those warm beautiful Kansas days in the woods as a child.

Thanks for sharing that information about your Grandfather and those sound like some fun days Thanks for watching

I have a canteen pouch from when I was 10 in 1961. They installed the wire on the pouch backwards but I just put it on anyway and it worked great for many years. Thanks for your great video.

Thank you for watching . and leaving a comment

[@aussieoftheyear1577]

Those belts are a pain for the wire hooks! Even reproductions are terrible to attach anything. Thank you for your content, I love to watch!

[@WebGearReview]

I never have had a reproduction belt so I don’t know how hard they are But thank you for the information

[@JamesPeteyroper128]

This guy is awesome I was watching his video while adjusting mine

[@WebGearReview]

Many thanks

[@thurin84]

i always use a small flathead screwdriver to pop snaps open after having one tear out years ago.
great stuff!

[@WebGearReview]

That’s a good idea, I use an old butter Knife.

[@KRRabbit1]

Perfect, just what I needed. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@WebGearReview]

Glad I could help thank you for watching

[@TheDailyKnife009]

Thanks mate! Just got a bayonet and couldn’t figure out how to attach it!

[@darrellh1840]

Upside down and backwards…welcome to my world! Thanks!

[@WebGearReview]

Haha lol

[@user-cn9of2jt2w]

The British made first aid pouch is interesting !

[@WebGearReview]

I got a short video about it coming up pretty quick thank you

[@JDStone20]

Thank you, this really helped me out!!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

One of my hooks is a little bent in so I can not get it hooked onto the belt. What's the best way to bend it back into the correct position?

[@WebGearReview]

Use a pair of wire pliers and see if that will work thank you for watching

[@bargainbrandmilk9858]

my grandpa gave me the belt, canteen and canteen pouch, and then a knife sheath a few years ago, it's all really nice and in relatively good condition

[@WebGearReview]

That’s awesome

[@bargainbrandmilk9858]

@@WebGearReview it is!

[@Ghillie-ghost_141]

Thanks I have one but didn’t know how to put it together

[@WebGearReview]

Thanks for watching

Thank You for the video! I am more use to the 1970’s nylon web belt. I’m just wondering which do you prefer the, cotton canvas, or the nylon web? One thing that I've heard is that after a while the equipment eyelets cotton canvas belt can start to pull out, have you ever had that happen? But as for the magazine pouch, you’d think that it would jab into you when you sit down! Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of a U.S. WW2 experimental M1916 cotton canvas .45 holster?

[@WebGearReview]

I like the older cotton canvas stuff better (nostalgia), however the nylon is a better idea also worked great. No on the Cotten eyelets , and no on the holster. Thanks for watching the video

[@buggggggggggs]

thank you this was helpful :)

[@WebGearReview]

Thanks for watching

[@ezrabrooks12]

Good Video/Info.

[@bignapoleonproductions7388]

You help me so much

[@WebGearReview]

Thanks

[@thegrenb2756]

Thanks

[@WebGearReview]

Yes thank you for watching

[@barrycartner3855]

Thank you. Question. What about stacking multiple items on the belt using both the upper and lower grommets?

[@WebGearReview]

I guess you could do that but I don’t think it was a common practice among soldiers because attaching something to the top grommets would be pulling the top of the belt downward might be uncomfortable Thanks for watching

[@indy197905]

Are there any tricks to getting the wire hanger through the holes if they don't go through easily? I'm trying to attach my reproduction canteen and medic pouch but the bent part of the wire doesn't slide past the edge of the hole easily. Trying not to force it cause my belt is original.

[@WebGearReview]

You might try bending the wire hanger open a little bit.

[@rustymcmartin]

Can you attach an East German grenade pouch to these or are the hooks not right for it? Thanks for your time

[@WebGearReview]

I believe the East German pouch attached a different way.

[@the_neo_crusader]

Will the 1910 hanger fit on an alice belt?

[@WebGearReview]

Yes it will , thanks for watching

[@Tipi_Dan]

"Iconic" doesn't even say it for this item. Should be standard issue for every American. I own 4 of them, including the original I inherited from my Dad.

[@richardturk7162]

Stop saying OK so much. There is no need for it and its annoying.
Great video otherwise and I did learn a lot so thank you.

[@WebGearReview]

Wow!
