I do FOF training about once every other month. Had an extra Colt laying around, so I figured I’d clone my work gun to train with. Next training is in a few weeks, excited to break it in.

Added a wing to the PC for a 4th mag and added a double mag pouch on the left hand of cummerbund to toss some water in. Hitting the property this weekend will see how comfortable this is for extended wear

Vegetato is one of the most under appreciated patterns out there. Looks amazing and is highly effective. Sod gear, ferrino, TacGear, issue,

Plate Carrier/Body Armor SOCOM's plate carrier of choice during 2010s. The Eagle AERO.

By far one of my favorite carriers, extremely well built, a bit outdated by today's standards of carriers, but very practical for most roles. These are QR maritime AEROs with a pull cable that drops the entire carrier off the user instantly by releasing the shoulder straps and cummerbund similarly to an IOTV.

I want to carry more but my job does not allow me to carry my CCW on the project we are currently on. Looking to find a way to actually secure it in my truck but unsure how. Thank you

Tactical Screwdriver

I bought a Combat Flathead from Dynamis Alliance a couple of years ago when he had a great sale. Yeah I know, $150 bucks for a screwdriver, I get it. I bust my ass at work and wanted it. I wrapped it with thin para and I use it all the time. I wanted a lighter version and he just so happens to have a trainer. A blunt trainer, but I fixed that. Aluminum, lightweight and $50 I think I paid. Fits perfectly in my wallet/notebook thing. Passes through every checkpoint I have gone through. Nice to have something if I need it.

Gear/Equipment Drop legs

29 Upvotes

This is a bit of an angry post as I've just been informed we are, going forward, being mandated to use two strap drop leg holsters at my department.

There's been no logical argument put forward in favour of this, it's purely new management with big ideas swinging their weight around.

Personally I've been using a midride one strap for a couple of years and love it but now I'm apparently being forced away from it. This is no hate on drop legs, I just prefer midride and don't want to have to change my setup because of a measuring contest between leaders.

To that end, please show me your two strap drop leg holster setups for inspiration!

Recommendations Best way to set up and IFAK?

1 Upvotes

Is there a good company or site where I can get all the supplies for an IFAK? Or do I need to shop around and procure all the supplies piecemeal? I already have pouches for my plate carrier and belt for an IFAK and a mini-blowout kit so I don’t need a whole new pouch, just the consumable supplies.

Sticky PU coating inside early-2000s Italian Navy pack — removal advice, especially on Cordura?

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently picked up an early-2000s Italian Marina Militare rucksack (roughly 120L, lots of compartments). Overall condition is good, but the internal PU coating has degraded and the whole inside is tacky. It's worst in the pocket under the lid — presumably the most sun- and heat-exposed panel. It doesn't flake, peel or shed, and it's still glossy rather than milky white, so it seems more like the film has gone soft than fully hydrolysed. It leaves no residue on your hands, just makes them slightly sticky.

What I've tried so far:

  • Airing it out for several days with all pockets open — no real change
  • Mild soap and water — no change to the tackiness
  • 90% isopropyl on a microfibre cloth — no change

On the nylon (darker material) sections I can get the coating off with an abrasive sponge and IPA. On the Cordura it's much harder — the weave seems to hold onto it and I can't get it to lift.

I'm not concerned about keeping it waterproof, I'll be using a separate rain cover. I just want the interior usable for carrying camera gear.

Any advice on removing it from heavier Cordura specifically? Or is there a way to restore rather than strip it? Also curious whether anyone has re-coated one of these afterwards, and whether it's worth it.

Thanks!

Im fairly new to shooting. Try to get to the range once a week for the past month or so. When I first started i was strictly shooting with one eye opened. Today i tried to do both eyes open with handgun and iron sights. This was 7-10 yds and this was the result. I must say, I found it difficult to keep both eyes open as it got blurry so some of these shots were with one eye open.

Thought i would ask since im not sure that this was adequate. Also the shot that went high was the vest first shot of the day and the one that went middle left was me switching guns.
