I always wanted to try out a LBT-9022B-T Blowout Pouch but I could never find one in the color I wanted. Got lucky and was able to pick one up from the source.
First impressions... Longer and taller than the BFG MTKN! but since the contents are spread out over the larger pouch size, it feels more like a small pillow than a baseball attached to your lower back when installed on a belt. If you place the contents in a 1 gal Zip-Loc bag, deployment is pretty slick. Reach under the elastic, pull the tab and the Zip-Loc bag slides right out. BFG has better organization but it feels like you are opening a Russian Matryoshka doll when trying to access a specific item. I can see why these are all over place in Tier 1 unit pics given that most of those SMUs can run anything they want. Attached File |

Make sure you have the same side facing out that the outer belt is. Hook, I believe. You don't really "install" the inner belt. It goes through your belt loops on your pants and acts as your pant belt. The outer belt will then wrap around you and grip the inner belt. This will keep it from sliding down, and will sandwich the one wrap between the 2 belts when you wear it, and make it even more secure. If you need pics, I or someone will post. Let's see it when you get it done! |

I' picked up an Esstac Shooters belt and am looking for a Safariland ALS holster to fit a gen 5 g19 with RMR, factory threaded barrel, and Surefire X300u. If I go with the 6390RDS, do I need the model 832 for the Glock 17 to accommodate the longer barrel, or would the Model 2832 for the G19 still work? It looks like there is some type of barrel plug so I'm not sure... Thanks!

The holster has a plug that keeps the pistol properly secured if you dont have a light mounted. The longer threaded barrel wont let it sit all the way down to lock in on a G19 holster. Even with the 17 holster, you may have to remove, do a little trimming/sanding on the plug, and reinstall, if it doesn't lock in and have a little (1/32-1/16") of play. I have seen some that work right out of the box and some that need about 1/16" removed around the base of the post on the plug. |

Agreed. A 34 Safariland is probably the best way to proceed.
I wasn’t paying close attention when I ordered a 6000 series RDS 19 holster. So I picked up one of these little doodads from Oregon Trail Defense that allows for a 17 or a 19 w/threaded barrel. Swap out the stock muzzle plug and you’re all set. |

The barrel plug in the G17 version may or may not be deep enough to allow your threaded barrel deep enough to lock in depending on the barrel. I played it safe and got the G34 version and have been very happy. 6390RDS-6832 is the Safariland P/N |

Since @esstac- was more than generous to me with the dump pouches... I decided to buy some more stuff and test out the magnetic pouches at my steel shoots. Will follow up with that this weekend.
For those who shoot glock and are looking at the magnetic pistol pouches. I took my wifes (my stolen gun lol) g19 and the mag full loaded stuck very well. Honestly, better than I thought it would. I have zero doubt it would fall off due to running or jumping. Time will tell. Also the GP pouch from them is that Brookwood squadron laminate. I put a shorty and midlength AR Kywi in the picture for size reference. I got this for my phone and dip because the tactical class I took last sunday, I needed the dump pouch for mags, my spitter and chew can were only in the way. *Just tested the fit for my phone. Pixel 3XL does fit, but it is too tight. Fuck the phone, I will leave it at home. @WhiskersTheCat I got the WTFix straps because I know they are your fave.

Not asking for secrets on how to make it, just how it came about and why it tickles your fancies. View Quote Sorry for the delay. Ryan and I were gone shooting/staffing a big match this past week. As far as I know the Squadron is chemically laminated and I believe they are grandfathered in on that process(osha shit or something) but I could be wrong. Its tuff! I have not been able to de-laminate it yet. Long ago I used to chemically laminate cordura and used the crap out of it for GP pouches and such but as we grew it was not feasible to continue. We can laminate various things and its a good bond but nothing compared to the Squadron. I absolutely love it and paired with the laser its pretty amazing. Being able to cut out and build a pouch with one piece of cordura vs many individual pieces before(without the laminate/laser combo) is a huge quality and strength boost. Has allot of added costs like the lasers and fabric itself but is offset by the reduced labor in assembling the pouch. The one thing I dislike about it is the 2 Multicams. I wish the Multicam itself was 1000D and not 500D, the backer cordura is 1000D. I prefer 1000D exterior due to its higher abrasion resistance and looks but due to the laminate nature I am probably just being picky. I do wish Brookwood would get a few more colors or reduce the minimums for it. M81 is needed..... But the $180k ish minimum is a bit LOL |

Will follow up with that this weekend. For those who shoot glock and are looking at the magnetic pistol pouches. I took my wifes (my stolen gun lol) g19 and the mag full loaded stuck very well. Honestly, better than I thought it would. I have zero doubt it would fall off due to running or jumping. Time will tell. Also the GP pouch from them is that Brookwood squadron laminate. I put a shorty and midlength AR Kywi in the picture for size reference. I got this for my phone and dip because the tactical class I took last sunday, I needed the dump pouch for mags, my spitter and chew can were only in the way. *Just tested the fit for my phone. Pixel 3XL does fit, but it is too tight. Fuck the phone, I will leave it at home. @WhiskersTheCat I got the WTFix straps because I know they are your fave. Time to route these bad boys through the new cummerbund. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/323787/PXL_20210810_150358585_jpg-2047329.JPG View Quote I am absolutely loving the magnet pouches personally. Used mine a ton for the Area1 match we just did. Unloaded starts I pulled from the magnet, Stages needing some security of an extra reload I just tossed an extra mag on the magnet and didn't loose them during movements. Super handy after a stage tossing a dirty mag on the magnet. The little unibody GP pouches I am quite pleased with. Love the way they are made and how they turned out vs a more traditional construction. I picked up a ton of these nutsacks from Tribe Tactical and was happy to see they are constructed similar AND made from the Squadron. And they kick ass for nutsacks! |

But the $180k ish minimum is a bit LOL View Quote I am finding that it is very resilient in holding its shape. Took a short rifle class last sunday. Stored mags in it mostly, but rolled it up the week before. When I unrolled it, it went right back to shape and no wrinkles. Keeping the shape is great because it kept the mouth wide open. 2 mags, water bottle, chew, sharpie... much easier to get into compared to the TREX dumps I have. I did a bit of LARPing earlier with that magnetic pouch. I have to say the initial reload off the magnet is pretty great. I have been putting the back of the mag against the magnet and using my index finder to line up against the front and boom. Point A to point B. It is kind of weird at first. Also worth noting for people wondering. The magnet is pretty strong. An empty mag rips off easier than a full mag. When you use a fully loaded mag, that sucker is on there. A little force is needed to rip it off. Of course I think it is geared towards to comp community. But the added benefit of working around the shop and I can stick a multitool/knife makes it have a utility use too for light duty. Not to mention, only buying one pouch to hold 2 mags with the footprint of a single mag carrier is a great solution to smaller waisted people who run out of room quickly. |

Just buy it. You know you want to.

Will the magnet pouches work with Glock OEM magazines, or do they have to be all metal like a 320 MecGar?

Wrinkles are an issue with tactical nylon?
