But for a civilian and the abuse and elements that a civilian will be realistically be subjecting their gear to, Condor stuff is built good enough for people who can't justify dropping the money on high dollar gear. |

forgot to add... Those of you who picked up a Blue Alpha might want to consider picking up one of these as well.
 Attached FileMake sure you select the loop option when ordering. https://www.highspeedgear.com/hsgi/95MG-95MG.html I figure it might come in handy depending on your attire. |

I wish Condor would expand their Elite line. I've been using a Frontier pack almost daily for ~4 years now and it's holding up great. It's every bit as well built as my ATS RAID pack. |

I have a micro grip pad on their Cobra belt and love it. Previously had a full size Suregrip and sold it in days following a class. The whole time I wore that tire I was wishing I could shrink it down to a 1/4 of the size. This is exactly what I was envisioning. |

Blue Alpha update...
Never meet your heroes. Replacement belt arrived and although they fixed the drunken stitching, they proved to me that they don't make these belts off of any sort of pattern. The belts are exactly the same "official" size and laid against each other, they are equal in length. New belt has way out of spec PALS loops on first and last columns. If you look at the bird's eye skinny view, they have different start/stop points for fabric layers. I'm keeping it b/c the issues don't bother me. For reference, I stopped by my favorite gun store today and had a chance to look at / handle about 20 $200 HSGI Operator belts and about 10 $200 Blue Force Gear CHLK belts. Both of those belts surpassed Blue Alpha in quality of construction. The Blue Force Gear belts were pretty much perfect. Its a shame they have those stupid grab handles on them. Anyways here are some pics of the BA belts (OLD top - NEW bottom): Stitching is way better on the new one.  Attached FileNote the PALS end at the same point but the rest of the material layers end somewhat randomly.  Attached FileWTF? They don't have some sort of guide or instruction set?  Attached FileCheck out the PALS length on the first column.  Attached FileSame issue, other side of belt. Last column.  Attached FileKeep in mind, you wouldn't know any of this from a sample of one. Again... Pretty much a whatevs from my end but I know a lot of you want "first time quality" when paying Tier 1 money for Tier 1 gear. EDIT: Pics fixed EDIT 2: Not trying to throw BA under the bus. Their customer service is as good as I've ever experienced. |

My 6360RDS is for a Glock 17 and fits the 19 perfectly. That TQ is a SOFTTW correct? Personally I prefer the SOFTTW over the CAT. Both are excellent and really just personal preference. My personal gear has SOFTTW and work gear has the CAT. The main issue I have with the CAT is when staged for one handed use the Velcro on the windlass retainer is exposed. When carried exposed the Velcro grabs everything and if it’s rubbing a shirt it’ll eat a hole through it. Because pic thread here’s a 6360 for an M&P with the QLS fork, RDR plate, Eleven10 case, and CAT. This setup has worked very well for me. You can see the wear on the hypalon cover on the tourniquet. The tourniquet is accessible with both hands and protected.   I really like the Eleven10 cases. They are a touch bulky though. |

Is there enough curve when wrapped around you that they clear the dump pouch easily enough to not fight them coming out? |

I ordered two yards of the Marine Coyote from Mil-Spec Monkey Store--along with some various ITW attachment pieces for other kit. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By acegunner: I like how the med pouch is mounted, but how is it getting the shears out? Is there enough curve when wrapped around you that they clear the dump pouch easily enough to not fight them coming out? I can get them out due to the curve in the belt but it is not optimal. I’m ordering a few blow out pouches to play around with. |

Anyone have any experience with the DAA Hearing Protector Clips? I picked up a set while ordering a set of sights from Dawson Precision but I have no idea if these things are useful/handy or just useless junk that will last a couple of weeks.

And finally...
(cross posted) Anyone owning a Velcro lined outer belt looking for more flexibility should consider picking up a HSGI Micro Grip Belt Panel ($24 on Amazon). Mine showed up today and I paired it up to my Blue Alpha. Cool thing is I didn't have to adjust the belt in or out. It fit just as well as when I am running my BA Low Profile / Inner EDC belt. I imagine the HSGI panel will stay in the setup 90% of the time, only being swapped out for classes, LARPing and SHTF.  Attached File Attached File |

I swear... This will be the last post for a little while.
I just remembered that I found a new use for OneWrap while I was messing around with my HSGI belt panel. Ever notice how the HSGI Bleeder/Blow Out Pouch doesn't come with any "Medical" demarcation? Not even a loop panel. You can run a loop of OneWrap through the 1" gap right above the buckle. Problem solved!  Attached File Attached FileIt's the little things... Stuff like this often brings me more satisfaction than opening a package containing a $XXX.XX "gotta have it" piece of new kit. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PFran42: @AZ_SBR That Burrito is growing on me. Can we get a pic shoot of that thing opened up, separated, etc.? Yeah, you got it. The Burrito comes with integrated belt loops (they made some nice revisions with this latest version) and also two Tactical Taylor malice clips. The Burrito also comes with a small aLOKSAK waterproof bag, which is also made in USA. The medical items are mine; still need to get some items to replicate Coyote Tactical Solutions' med kit offering, but you get the idea. Also, need a snap closure loop to secure my sheers like you did. Nice touch!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GingerShanks: Not being a smart ass, but explain that fast mag orientation to me. Yeah, no problem. I watched some reviews of the Fast Mag before buying one and saw that it was able to run in either orientation. I tried both directions and found that when it was right side up, my forearm/elbow grazed it consistently. Upside down, it's like it isn't even there. I was worried it might dig into my hip or interfere with my pocket or stick out weird if I squatted down, but it's actually really awesome in that configuration. Mag removal is a very natural motion: pull downward to clear the Fast Mag and then a straight up into the magwell. I really like it. |
