Shellback Banshee
Highcom Security plates
Tactical Tailor triple pouch
5.11 single pouch on the cummerbund
Colt 6920, Aimpoint,15 Inch troy alpha rail
Glock 19 with a TLR-1 in a Safariland 6360, 17 round mags on the belt.
Standard police stuff on the rest of the belt.

Self explanatory what my gear is used for. I have an IFAK in the works, i always have a tourniquet in my pocket when on duty also.


How do you like the safariland triple mag? Is the retention sufficient with one or more magazines removed? I've been considering getting one to replace my TT magna pouch.


The retention is finicky, i have them cranked down . The middle mag is a bit harder to get out but 1 and 3 are a bit smoother. I had one go flying out during a foot pursuit a while back so i tightened the screws down. I've though about going to the double safariland pouch and adding factory plus base plates but i having another pistol reload is a must for me.

To answer the question about my cuffs being stacked. It's just a Velcro no name radio holder. The main strap that goes around my radio is the same size as my belt, so i slipped the cuffs on there. I've been playing around with my duty belt as of late for comfort. My holster, mags and radio have remained constant thought.

thanks,



Retailer on Ebay by the user name "Karasoulas" makes these packs. they are similar to the Eagle MAP pack but shorter to fit on the newer style plate carriers.

It simply molles onto the back of the Carrier.

It cost me 65 shipped, whoch isn't too bad. My only complaint is that the lateral straps dont have two sided fast tek buckles. Only the male portion is adjustable, not too upsetting though I already have relpacements ordered.


I'm bidding on the multicam one on there right now! ITS MINE!

Thats what I was afraid of, may just go with a triple molle pouch instead.

Alright, finally got a chance to get my gear out and get a pic.   Waiting on my plates to arrive from the mail man to round it out.  





Nothing fancy, just enough to stop some holes, plug one or two, and make a bunch.  











Grey Ghost Minimalist Plate Carrier


Targetman Spartan Armor Plates (Mail man come soon!)


HSGI 2XR Taco


2x HSGI Double Decker Taco





HSGI War Belt


HSGI Cobra Inner Belt


HSGI Pistol Taco


HSGI Double Decker Taco


TT rollup dump pouch


Mini IFAK


Leatherman MUT


Springfield XDM 3.8 in a custom holster from a member here on an RTI wheel





Nice and simple.  





I will more than likely move my leatherman pouch off the belt, or further over and go from that cheap IFAK pouch to a more well designed one.  But, for now it works.

If i was shooting competition i would go with a different set-up, but i'm not. Safariland makes a nice double slim line pouch too, that could be an option. I carried a spare mag in my front pocket for a while before i got the triple. Like i said, I might not always be able to get to my rifle so a third magazine is nice.

I hear you, four pistol mags total is preffered but retention is also a big issue. I may try fast mags or some kydex instead. Id love to see someone do kydex for rounds facing out.

I picked mine up for under 25 bucks on amazon with prime. Worth a look. I did see some kydex tripe and quad pouches around, but i'll have to look for them.

My humble Civie gear.

1st line is my EDC the m&p 9 tlr-1 in Bravo Concealment holster, 2 spare mags for m&p in bravo concealment mag pouch,  the Izula, crkt folder, and klarus xt-10. All on SOE edc belt. I have a spare Dark Angel med pouch with medical insert, trauma shears, and Cat tourniquet that I can throw on my belt if needed.

2nd line is to augment my EDC. It consists of SOE micro rig 4x ar mags and IFAK, 2 chem lights, sharpie, mechanix gloves, peltor tac 6-s ear pro. (may get myself an H harness for christmas as the X harness kills my neck if I wear it for over an hour.)

3rd line kifaru escape & evade with softshell jacket, bore snake, poncho liner, 2 spare AR mags, source 1l bladder not pictured, Spare batteries for all 3 lights and ear pro. ( little pack is built like a tank. highly recommend)

AR is a generic colt 6920 with vortex pst 1-4x, KAC RAS, and VTAC sling.

Nice kit, if I had to start from scratch and do it all over again it'd pretty much be exactly that.

Thanks!  So far it's worked out as well as I could have expected.  I'll be attending a few courses next year, one in february and one in June, I think, so we'll see how it all holds up through those.  Although, I'm not expecting any issues.

Good luck! And yeah you shouldn't have any issues other than getting the configuration just right based on your preference, otherwise looks real solid.

That Revision cover looks nice - I've been debating between it, the First Spear, hunting down one of the Eagle covers, or another custom job on a USGI helmet cover.  

Does the Revision cover have any kind of reinforcement or holes pre-cut?  Or do you just punch through as appropriate on your own?  

How is/was the fit getting it on?

The Revision cover is very high quality and was very simple to put on. It fits the helmet (size L in my case) perfectly and has shock cord in the band that you can tighten down and tie off, then tuck behind the back pad. Also having experience with FS helmet covers, I'd say they're both equal in build quality. Imo it comes down to if you're using ARC rails or not. The velcro on the FS would be half covered by the rails whereas Revision took care to put the velcro high enough to not be a problem. As for holes, the NVG hole is already there (if you're using a one hole shroud), but I had to cut through the mesh to install the rails. Very simple to do though. One "link" being cut was enough to fit the screws. I'm very happy with it.

Solid.  I'd do something like that but my wife would kill me  It'd just end up in the garage.

They're great for a standard plate carrier, but if you use soft kevlar inserts along with plates, storing in that position for long periods can cause the soft armor to bunch up in the bottom of the pockets. Happened with IOTVs fairly often.

But again, just plates, no problem.

ETA I got all the materials from Home Depot and had them cut in the store. All I did was sand the wood and screw it all together.

Why build something like that rather than just have your stuff sitting on the floor? Seems like it would be much quicker to don without having to remove it from the stand. That is, unless you just like building stuff, in which case rock on

My biggest reason is I have way too much gear. My other PC is on the floor RTG. It's just a way to consolidate some of my shit in a neat manor and organize my gun room.... Ohh and I like building shit too

AK Hammer is forward, so presumably they all are.  Which, on the ARs, means safety on "fire".

While probably correct, I wouldn't bet my life on it. Not even going into why his guns would be like that.

It's standard (at least in the Air Force) to "rack safe" weapons before storing them, so maybe that's what he did.

While on the job, policy states that the weapon must be stored in the rack with the magazine in and bolt forward. As you know, if the weapon isn't charged, the safety cannot be manipulated.



More pics, less bitching about inconsequential matters. Viewer discretion is advised as these pics may give you an aneurism:

Go post your rifle pics in their appropriate pic threads. This is a gear pic thread. What part of that do you not understand?
