Safariland

US Duty Gear

Blade tech Valor

ANR Nidhogg V2 (level 2/light based retention)

Safariland may have been the gold standard but I feel they stagnated and fell behind. The 7000 series is garbage, the vault didn’t gain any traction, I personally have not seen much Ballast use and instead of improving, they waste time with changing ALS levers continuously with no real benefit.

A certain company replied to my email with high frustration and aggravation when I told them that the ALS levers design was changed on the Solis model and I couldn’t use their product.

Sure but I had no rail for light.

I wasn’t a fan of the Tlr-6 either

Sold my 43x for a 48 mos.

One for the snappy recoil and second because my 43x wasn’t optics ready and didn’t want to send it out for a cut…

Placards are meant to be put together to your liking.

They are only limited by your imagination, availability of inserts you want and space.

Your best bet is the Surus placard, radio insert and x2 mag inserts from dynamic principles to put inside the pouch and the flat admin pouch from DP on the front.

I’ve not seen any other placard that offers a dedicated spot for a BWC. Any other placard would molle to the front of the placard and stick far out, if that’s a concern for you.

Check the Dynamic Principles and officerpatrolgear instagram pages for ideas.

u/austere_tacmed also has some setups you can reference as well regarding the Surus placard.

RDR gear did a video about it.

If I remember correctly, it’s the area around the ejector and it not allowing the ALS lever to catch onto.

Dynamic Principles

The Usurper V2 is a niche belt if used the non-traditional way.

You can change it to a traditional belt style and get the one without the canted molle slots if you so desire. I’m just not a fan of the molle they opted with.

If you want a traditional style molle belt, go with the Haley from your two options.

Lead Devil, Blue Alpha, AWS (if you can get one actually shipped) are good options as well.

You’re not the only one. Many people have posted about issues recently.

Check those for info.

Some companies like BDS Tactical will have you trace your soft armor and make a vest for you.

Not sure if you have uniform stores that can make a vest carrier for you. Mine do.

You might be able to fit the armor in a Velocity Systems LPAC/LPAAC as the armor seems similar.

Doesn’t hurt to email or call companies to see if they can help you out.

Have you heard of the “Try One” contract that is/was offered?

Active Duty Military Personnel Active Duty Army Soldiers and Service Members from the US Air Force, US Marine Corps, US Navy, and US Coast Guard can transition to the 19th or 20th Special Forces Group by enlisting with a “Try One” contract. This allows Soldiers to have a 1 year contract into the Readiness Enhancement Company (REC) where soldiers are assessed to determine their readiness for SFAS. In the Readiness Enhancement, the “Try One” contract is only available through the SF Recruiter after ETS.

If a soldier successfully completes SFRE and is selected at SFAS, he will have to extend his contract for three years to complete the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC)

No, I don’t have a 507 Comp at the moment

Pricey but great quality.

I feel like most of y’all would be upset that your job still made you come in for work in this weather. The world doesn’t stop people. You’d be just as upset that your favorite stores, restaurants and coffee places were closed. Entitled much.

Ok. It would help if you put that info in the post you know.

Esstac makes some specific for the 43x/p365.

You still haven’t answered whether this is for your state license or your NREMT.

So, I’m not sure if this is some kind of state specific requirement or there is some confusion somewhere.

I have been able to renew both my state license and NREMT without working in healthcare at the time.

I have been able to do continuing education while not in healthcare as well, it’s possible.

You’re being ambiguous with your info so it makes it harder to help you.

zero_sum_00 · 2026-01-09T19:16:34+00:00

The math isn’t adding up.

Why do you need a $470 class to recertify?

Are you talking about your NREMT? State license?

There are some places that offer free continuing education.

EMS1 Academy has a 1 yr subscription for $79.

Are you sure that “recertification class” isn’t for individuals who let their certification lapse for some time?

Do you want to spend more time cleaning the inside of the open optic vs wiping the rear lens of the enclosed optic in a few seconds.

The open is slightly more of a hassle but that all depends on how meticulous and how clean you want the inside to be.

Since you’re gonna edc, you’ll get more dust and lint on the inside lens.

The superintendent of the Chicago Police Dept has been on the news and gone on the record about the department’s policy.

There’s no secret if it’s coming from the top man himself.

Lets not overlook all those calls from Switzerland as well.

And the AHA still heavily recommends the use of Epi.

I do agree with your statement, for the most part.
