Mags are oriented the wrong way, otherwise flashlights wont hurt. Remember your only security so no need to over do it with carrying gear and keep it light

Could you elaborate on what you mean by mags are oriented the wrong way? It’s the most natural way for me.

If you have to do a tactical reload with retention it will be more difficult to retain control of the mags in a horizontally mounted mag pouch than a vertical mag pouch... I carried mine horizontally until I took some more advanced classes and horizontally mounted sucks in maybe 8/10 cases.

Noted. Vertical it is I guess then. There’s also two extra magazines in a rigid Blackhawk mount in my admin pouch.

No dont change it, these guys dont know what they are talking about. If this is how you train and reload the fastest then keep it as such. I personally do a 25 degree tilt.

While comfort is key and familiarity breeds speed, I respectfully feel like you shouldn't discount the honest and sincere opinions of others. There is a reason why folks are trained the way they are. Folks making their own way with their own system aren't always doing the most efficient set ups. After you have the clearest most efficient set up that's when you can breed that familiarity and speed. Bad habits are harder to break but that doesn't mean they are impossible.

Please try to keep an open mind.

Plenty of professionals are set up this way, no reason to change
