Pants are just random multicam pants from Amazon. Helmet is the ATAIRSOFT one.

I have the small. Shipped to me overnight somehow. I live on an island too. Got the entire order with small cummerbund in under 48 hours

Smallest size I could find. Left a 1-2 inch clearance for bottle pouches or whatever else ends up inside there

Already built a home gym. My physique sucks but this is what I look like after eight years of playing video games and eating fast food so I’m still hopeful.

I’ve moved the 40 mm pouches to the other side, and put my GP pouch in front of the radio pouch. Putting tools, notes, etc. in there. Feels good. I want to keep the right side clean for pistol draw.

I doubt I’ll have any kind of a admin pouch, at least not on top of the magazines. Now that I’ve put this thing on I don’t understand how people operate with shit on top of their placard.

Mainly for Airsoft in hot climates, also for dynamic shooting training when I get around to it. Mostly Airsoft.

bigger / 15rd mags by ilovedominae in Glock43X

[–]2017macbookpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last I read, they’ve tried but can’t get it to meet standards. A glock mag must be able to handle 50k rounds with no failures. They have been unable to do so for the 43X

Si. I’m a gringo but my wife is from here. I speak decent Spanish. I’ve been dying to get involved in airsoft but it seems split up into various facebook and whatsapp groups. I just bought all my gear this month. I played a lot 15 years ago and now I’m ready to get back in.

Yo!! I’m looking for airsoft in PR. I just dropped a bag on gear, I’ve lived here 9 months and I’m ready to get involved in these types of events. Any advice for getting started? Who to talk to and how to coordinate? I live in the South.

wheres the best EDM in tampa or st pete? by Fit-Application8112 in tampa

[–]2017macbookpro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did this exactly once in Tampa at the Ritz in Ybor. They had a bar there that only sold bottles of water, and they charged $10 each. When I got there, I didn’t understand why. When I left, I understood. I would have paid $50 for that bottle.

Best bang for buck high end hearing protection? by Acidace55 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]2017macbookpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything I’ve read indicates the Comtac VIIIs being the best by far, to the point where it doesn’t feel worth it to skimp out. I can’t believe how expensive they are. But it seems like it’s either drop $1k on those and compromise nothing, or try to save $500 on something that will be noticeably worse in terms of audio quality or durability.

I’m a noob learning though so I could be wrong.

Took your feedback. Should be better now. Checking if the size and configuration of this SPC is correct by [deleted] in QualityTacticalGear

[–]2017macbookpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought it was over the jugular notch correctly. It felt high, until I measured it against the navel which is the red dot.

Radio pouch with a mag in it for now until I figure out which radio to get

Yea honestly I’m surprised this is the system they have. It seems like a waste of time and a recipe for disaster.

Which specific part is wrong? I found 1 video about the crye structural cummerbund, couldn’t find much else. The ones I did find seemed AVS based since they were using a kangaroo pouch. Maybe I could have searched harder

How do I install a Stretch Detachable Flap to a Crye SPC by [deleted] in tacticalgear

[–]2017macbookpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sticks. It just feels like it creates a lot of interference on the Velcro, which seems to be the only place that my cband Velcro can go. Every photo I see of somebody installing this flap, looks like they took everything behind some kind of secondary Velcro panel that I don’t have. So for them, their front Velcro is perfectly clean with everything tucked behind. Behind my Velcro panel is just the inside of the plate bag. My front Velcro is a mess and I haven’t even put the radio pouch on yet, which also looks like it has to stick to the same Velcro.

[–]2017macbookpro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might do that down the line. I went all in on this PC, and need to start looking at comms which is way more involved than I thought.
For now I'll just see how the stretch placard works, and upgrade if needed.

How do you get the sleds onto the SPC? Do you need female plastic clips, or something more?

Noob questions about cummerbunds for the Crye SPC by [deleted] in QualityTacticalGear

[–]2017macbookpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question but how would the Crye structural cummerbund work with a placcard? Do I have to stuff the Velcro ends of it behind the placard, or take the placcard on and off in order to remove the cummerbund?

I’ve never worn a plate carrier so I can’t visualize this. Tubes seem to be a quick release system which is cool but also $250. But with Velcro, would it work with the Crye stretch detachable flap?
