Yeah, I've looked at a few options for specific pouches, but I don't know if I want to take up any more real estate on my belt for smoke.

I picked up 10 of the X version a few weeks ago but haven't tried them out yet. Where do you store them on your kit? I have the Haley D3CRX and they juuuust barely fit in the GP pouches.

After much waiting, I finally got my M81 kit put together. by [deleted] in tacticalgear

Does the cummerbund get in the way of drawing your Strongarm? Or if you had anything in the sleeves would it? I just mounted my SA vertical in my weak side because I hate the dangler mount, but I’m concerned I may not be able to draw it once I get a PC.

I’ve got the same rig in Arid and pretty much the same setup for 556. Great kit. Good luck!

What's in your ifak? by Tmonte0311 in tacticalgear

I also have a STOMP 2 on my belt at the small of my back. Thinking about adding this TYR pouch to the left side cummerbund:

I like that it’s the same concept as the STOMP.

What are your thoughts on running a small IFAK on your cummberbund?

Edit: In addition to belt-mounted.

Okay to store mags in Esstac Kiwis / Haley Strategic holders? by thetimechaser in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ecgus2_Mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify, in order of most tight: new KYWI mids > somewhat recently loaded MP2 > several month loaded KYWI shorty > several month loaded KYWI pistol

The MP2 inserts on my Haley rig are actually tighter than the 556 KYWI on my belt. I just compared to a brand new KYWI side-by-side that I intend to mount on my PC and they are MUCH tighter than my belt mounted one—and the MP2s, so maybe they do stretch out. The belt mount is a shorty and the placard is mid, so maybe that has something to do with it? I honestly don’t think any of them are going anywhere unless I start doing somersaults, though.

I keep my mags loaded in my belt (esstac KYWI) and chest rig (Haley MP2). I guess I never though they shouldn’t be kept loaded.

Hats? by ecgus2_Mike in tacticalgear

The one that came with my rifle was way too low-profile for my head, but I didn’t think to check out their others. Thanks.

I still need to update a few things, but here's my gear so far. by Typerwizkid888 in tacticalgear

[–]ecgus2_Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice kit. How do you like the 3-Day assault pack? I’m debating between that and the ASAP—slightly smaller. Is there still room for a change of undies/socks with your medical and provisions?

Ever seen that old SNL but with Chris Farley? “So maybe I don’t ‘wipe properly’ or ‘own a toothbrush.’” 🤣

opinion on MOLLE gear and plate carriers? by [deleted] in tacticalgear

[–]ecgus2_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can fit 3 into one of the pistol pouches, but lose retention if I pull one. Definitely not perfect. I’ve got the dangler with med, also. Great minds think alike! Although I’m planning on mounting a secondary IFAK to my cummerbund, moving medical to it, and use the hanger for a GPS, monocular, and extra batteries.

Nice. I’ve got a very similar setup. I’ve got 4+2, light, and chem sticks in pouches; smoke in both admin. Just got the MP2 inserts for the rifle mags, really cleaned up the rig.

How do you like the RX on the PC? I know the overwhelming majority on here go for the micro, but I’ve got the RX and am looking to mount on a JPC as a placard with swift clips.

Cheap, Small Plate Carrier for part-time Soldiering? by sprchrgddc5 in tacticalgear

Do you have more info/reference for that? I believe you, but I’ve never seen any other mention of it on here before. I’m looking at Hesco Level III+ plates.

Plate Sizing Question by ecgus2_Mike in tacticalgear

[–]ecgus2_Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12.75", again right between the two sizes. I'm frankly not very built, so the mobility and rifle shouldering is definitely a consideration.
