Gear requirement for tactical carbine class

[Fractured]

Uncle Mike's is good, inexpensive, will hold your sidearm securely and still allow smooth draws. For AR mag pouches, I prefer the ones from Ready Tactical. They are inexpensive and can be easily placed or removed from a belt. And I agree with Atekhed's gear recommendations.
Which class are you taking?

A basic carbine class. I will look into the ready tactical.

Also check out OFF THE GRID CONCEPTS, I've got some of their gear and it's been great thus far. Lots of custom options and quick turnaround.

http://shop.zeroconcealmentsystems.com/ Check these guys out for cheap kydex holsters and mag holders. from my research it is comparable to Raven at about half the cost.

HA!

whatever you do, don't buy the "Quaddammit". the retention is horrible. The single version of this used to be their "The Duce" model (single rifle/pistol combo), but the they were/are unable to get the retention on both magazines correct, so they ditched it and went with a piggy back style. not sure why they kept it for the Quaddammit model though, since it doesnt work.

I have one sitting in my bag of stuff that doesn't work.


I have several RCS kit, and i can say that the quality/craftsmanship doesn't compare, sorry. Other than RCS, the only kydex mfg i've had success with is 101 holsters. I've tried products from probably 10 different MFGs in the last 2 years.


to the OP: if this is your first class, make sure you have a sling and a good pistol holster. You can use your back pocket to carry your mags. go to class, see what others are using, and go from their. Otherwise you will invest money into stuff that may not work for you, and then you either have to sell it or throw it in a bag of crap that you don't use.

ETA: my first class I ran a Blue Force Gear triple 10-speed AR pouch on my belt. Even though its made for molle attachment, it worked just fine around my 1.5" rigger belt. I already had a dual pistol kydex mag pouch, so I was good there. Honestly, i had less issues that those guys who had all the cool ****, because they had never ACTUALLY used it- so they didn't know what type of configuration worked and what didnt.

You pay for a class to learn; not to dick around with your equipment.

For some reason, I never saw this post. I think it is what I will do, just run them out of the pocket and see what works. Thank you.

I wouldn't do the back pocket thing myself. You never know what's in there so use a dedicated mag pouch, belt mounted or chest rig.

This dude has been trying to sell his Blade Tech holster for quite a while. Already has the drop offset attachment. These are some of the best holsters, I have one for my G35 - http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...ght=blade+tech

For AR mag pouches, try one or two of the ITWs - http://www.lapolicegear.com/itw-fast...-dblstack.html

For your Glock mags more Blade Tech dammit - Double mag pouch http://www.lapolicegear.com/5tadomagpo.html

::edit::

I don't use a dump pouch, I just toss the mags on the ground. But Maxpedition is the ish - http://www.lapolicegear.com/maro.html
