I use it for 1.5" chemlights, SSE fiduciary ruler, notebook, nitrile gloves, and I throw my headlamp and face wrap in there when im not using them. The only things I would suggest with it are: - dont put anything in it that can break, going to the prone doesnt put that stuff in a good spot once you hit the dirt. I only have those chemlights on the outside now because im primarily in a vehicle at the moment. Fullsize chemlights will break regularly going prone with this pouch. - dont use it for anything that can potentially fragment, most especially because its at dick level. An IFAK would be perfect. |

Changed a few things on the JPC
 Left side, added a vortex 10x monocular in a 40mm grenade pouch next to the HSGI pogey pouch holding a breaching initiator. That thing has come in pretty handy.  Right side, took off the pogey pouch to get a little slimmer for easier drawing a pistol or M320 off my belt. It was just holding a breaching charge, threw that in an HSGI handcuff pouch, and added a BFG 10 speed double and moved my multitool back to vertical from horizontal.

I've been really torn on this setup. I sold my JPC after picking up a BFG PlateMinus V2 for $90 on a last call special and am trying to outfit it for a new roll. Going from line medic to EVAC has me all messed up. Before it was bang bang pouches and med supply stuffed in cargo pockets and now I have to organize everything so it works well in an everyday admin roll and through chaos. Currently the setup is: BFG PlateMinus V2 w/ shoulder pads TAG Rampage Admin Pouch Velocity Systems quad m4 ITS Fatboy IFAK TT Admin Pouch Crye MBITR (currently holding water bottle) Issue double M4 Pouch I have the TT LAP Pouch on order as well as a Crye Double M4 to replace the issued pouch. It is lighter than my previous setup and I could drop more weight in extra mags I'm just not ready to make that call. Overall it is very comfortable, the shoulder pads are much nicer than the JPC and lacing molle through this material is easier(not that it really matters). The only downside is putting the damn thing on requires rewiring your brain, pulling up on a side flap instead of the front??? |

Taking my first tactical rifle class tomorrow and getting the last of my basic plate carrier set up. First time putting a set up like this together. I worked in corrections and we had a gun belt set up we were issued for transports so I used that as a base for my belt, minus the OC and cuffs.
Basics are AR500 Testudo carrier and Ar500 plates. Pouches are 5.11 with 4 rifle mags and two pistol mags with a flashlight and utility pouch to the side of them. Blackhawk belt with Safariland SLS holster for Glock 17 with Insight M3 and a single horizontal mag pouch. I like the way stuff is set up at the moment but I'm sure after just a couple hours I'll have an even better idea of what can stay and what can move or go. Waiting to take a first aid/trauma class to see up and ifak for it. |

Over all the day was great. It was taught by a local Sheriff's deputy SWAT team member who did a great job relaying lots of information without overwhelming or talking down to students. The class was limited to 10 students so it was a good small group. The gear and reloads where smooth. So much different shooting indoors and at unknown targets than just punching paper at a range. So many new variables and techniques so work on and think about. |

I'm a little late to the discussion abbot SACKs, Danglers, and Hangers but here's what I have in mine:
Garmin Foretrex batteries Neck gaiter/ face wrap Beanie Headlamp Hand sanitizer When we are running no white lights on missions I add NVG batteries and a MS-2000 strobe. It all fits after I move the hand sanitizer to my Blackhawk rip off of Eagle Industries Yote. Right now I'm primarily doing convoy commander or vehicle commander duties for LOGPACs sustaining our forward platoons. I'm not really a fan of the Haley Strategic Hanger. I wish it had elastic loops built in but I may just get two BFG Loop Dappers to try to fix that. If i replace it completely, I'll go with the Ferro Dangler. While the full opening of the Haley pouch allows me to get whatever I need out of it, it also means shit falls out when I forget to zip it up all the way. So far I've only lost batteries but I really don't want to lose a headlamp or strobe. |

I'm still waiting on mine, but it could be because I ordered 1 for Comtacs, and 1 for Sordins, and I believe that the Sordins aren't done yet.... Thanks. I was fortunate to be able to T&E the first set of Peltor prototypes at the beginning of the year, I've reposted my review from then: 
BLUF: @noisefighters SightLines Peltor ComTac Cushions worked as advertised to make wearing eyeglasses or eye protection much more comfortable while wearing over-the-ears hearing protection/comms. -
• ***Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with NoiseFighters, and have not received any sort of compensation for this testing*** • I was fortunate to be able to spend a little over a week testing the very first set of 3M Peltor ComTac-compatible SightLines Cushions and wanted to share some of my impressions. See link below to @noisefighters page for general information and compatible models. - • To be honest, after first installing the cushions at the house, I was a little bit tepid, as the pads slightly changed the angle of my glasses, however once on the range and once I was focused on actually shooting and not on my glasses/headset, the slight change in angle became a non-issue, much better than my past attempts to use Rx inserts in various types of eye protection. Once I started going about my business, I more or less forgot that I was wearing them—a good thing in this case, and I found myself much less frequently tempted to remove my hearing protection at every possible interval just to give my temples a rest. - • Ultimately, there’s not really much to say in terms of fancy features when it comes to the SightLines Cushions, they’re straightforward and simple—and the best indication that they’re working is that you don’t notice them at all. I’m very pleased to have had the opportunity to have tried these out, and am looking forward to purchasing a few sets for all my ComTacs. ~Augee |
