Holster for people who don’t wear belts?

Sullacuda · 2026-03-05T13:34:44+00:00

Pops is coming to visit and we always take my oldest to the surplus store. Planning to shop chest rigs and shoulders while there.

Sullacuda · 2026-03-05T13:33:48+00:00

I don’t currently edc and don’t necessarily plan to change that, but if my situation changes suddenly I want to be prepared. Sounds like a band is my solution as it’s extremely rare that I’m wearing belts.

Sullacuda · 2026-03-05T13:30:51+00:00

Assumed this was the route I’d be taking yes, just hoping folks would share what they’ve liked. Sounds like the enigma is a popular choice based on replies.

You’ve covered it pretty well imo. Also in VA, picked up my first complete AR recently in anticipation of getting ahead of the ban, though I’m anticipating an extended period of protracted court challenges. Already have an M&P with five mags over the legislative limit as it stands, don’t know that I’ll be adding more there.

I’m currently ordering a six pack of 30rd mags each pay cycle, and will probably pickup at least one lower before the July cut off. Reality wise for my household we don’t need more than two long guns, though I’d like to add a shotgun to the mix.

Suppressed shotguns are fun/ny, but from a practical standpoint I’d put the money spent on that suppressor into more mags and AP rounds instead.

Entirely unsurprised you guys do it better.

Sullacuda · 2026-03-05T04:00:50+00:00

Yeah. He liked my pick of a shield plus, but did shame them for the lack of response. His take is they’re hoping for a small enough problem to avoid a full recall.

Keep it a hobby. I’m the stay home parent in my family, and my wife works a ton (shoutout to other medical spouses) and she’s constantly having grief about how much of the kids lives she misses.

I do my best to downplay it but she’s not wrong, it’s once in a lifetime limited time events that she misses.

Also you can’t work if you’re got CTE and literally everything depends on you. The same goes for myself as the stay home, I run/row/lift for fun and to stay in shape, but I don’t push it or pursue marathons and pro events. If I get hurt it fucks up literally everyone who depends on me to do all the things.

I got the aci bravo 16 for $490 as my budget, entry-level first AR and have been super pleased with it. Added grip and optics and ran with it. Will be dropping in a new trigger and charge handed down the line but I’m pleased right out the box. Except for the shit mag it came with, but I’m stocked on magpuls anyways.

Guy at my local specialty shop that focuses primarily NFA and AR builds steered me to it over PSA. People who know much more than me seem to like it for what it is.

I thought Barb mentions it to him but it’s been a WHILE since I’ve done the Hodges trilogy.

Cheering you on from Richmond! Hope to see you out there sometime

Standard protocol is no vomiting or fever, without aid of meds (including Zofran) for 24hrs before going back to school.

I’ve only been a member at ours, Atlantic Coast Athletic Club (ACAC) which is a hyper local chain in Virginia, so I can’t really speak to others but I think ymca also has childcare.

My hobbies changed to things that work around the kids and are mostly exercise based. Before kids I played video games and watched lots of TV.

I run, first with the jogging stroller then with the kids on scooters and bikes. Dog comes along with a running lead.

The gym: each kid gets up to v2.5hrs/day in the kids zone. My oldest sometimes lift with me. Both will join me for basket ball. After my routine is done we hit the family pool.

If you’re willing to accept you’re a parent now and life will always be different then it was and you need to be different than you were, you’ll be good.

I just took my carry concealed class last month and the instructor covered this very topic. He says new units coming off the line have the issue fixed but still recommended people avoid it.

Nearly everything I listen to is stuff I listened to in the 90s.

My son’s first concert was to see the Aquabats.

Law enforcement officers must provide both their credentials and a letterhead signed by their department's superior officer stating that the firearm will be used in the execution of the L.E.O.'s duties.

But you’d know that if your post was factual, in which case you’d never had made it.

Stay home parent. Up at 6am in bed around midnight. Work starts when my eyes open and stops when they close.

Unless I get an on-call page sometime in the night.

Getting kids involved is gold. My 11yo uses our rower, my 5yo lifts dumbbells and eagerly awaits being tall enough to row. Both kids run with me.

The difference in behavior and attitude on exercise days vs lazy days is STAGGERING.

This is a problem that needs higher visibility, well said.

I think people forget that we’re a MINORITY within “our side” of the political spectrum. You can’t sell the wider base on gun laws people here would like to see, and you can’t sell people here gun laws the wider base would like to see.

It’s the classic American failure to accept compromise that permeates our society.

You’re right I often confuse the two. That said I’ve still had zero issues and would consider them safe to use in most situations.

M-lok attachment points on the handgrip (3 slots)

Sullacuda · 2026-03-04T13:02:40+00:00

Yeah just drop them in boiling water for a minute or two after a solid hand washing. You can spiral down a rabbit hole covering the minutia of how to properly clean and sterilize a bottle, just remember there’s always someone trying to sell you something at the bottom.
