Safe life defense just came out with flexible rifle rated armor

Not sure how I feel about it

This, but 16" and 5.56

Brand new belt setup. First time running it. I moved where my mags are and this was my first reload run 🤣

@DarthRichta Not bad for a first run, give specs on belt and pouches, how many and what brand etc.

It's the AWS LAB system. With AWS' pouches. I like everything but the the IFAK so far. I havnt loaded contents into it yet so the sleeve doesnt want to stay in place empty

I've got to swap cans around on that pistol so I can run it in a holster. The osprey micro has 0 holster options unfortunately

that's not necessarily true

And I'm going to order some of these so I'll stop stuffing mags in the top of my dump pouch lol

sort of irrelevant but this would work if you ran a surefire weaponlight

Tandemkross makes a tube supressor friendly holster but that brick shape makes holster options very slim. I've thought about ordering a kydex kit and trying to make my own

I would recommend esstac kywis for new magazine pouches

I need to run some AR reload drills off the belt pouches. All my other AR mags are on the PC. They are tight as hell. And need to be broken in

I've looked at some of those inserts to help get them out easier

It really helps

I know trex arms also makes suppressor ready holsters

I would recommend ditching the mesh rollup thing on your belt

It's a roll up dump pouch. When running rifle/pistol transitions or if I'm reloading partial mags or if I'm going to run multiple drills before I go reload mags I toss the spent mags in it instead of fighting them back in the carriers. My army buddy informs me they all hide snacks in theirs lol

If im not using it i just leave it rolled up out of the way. It has a sleeve in it just like the IFAK panel so I can carry two without adding anything extra on the belt

Well, I say that, but as I said, new setup. Thats the plan anyway lol. I'm going to run it some more and move shit around. I may end up moving all that shit around after using it more. Lol

@Bard
that pistol does have an under rail. I could add a light 🤔

https://tripleaughtdesign.com/shop/rddp2-pouch/ @DarthRichta check this out for a great dump pouch that really is out of the way when you aren't using it

The cool thing about that holster is that if you buy the compatible light you can throw it on just about every pistol with a rail and it will work with the holster

it's not quite as slick as a safariland als system but it has some advantages

Oh, that really is super compact too

i use the one that is half the size of that (the rddp1) and it is of absolute high quality

That's this one unrolled. It feels good quality in the hand but because of the ifak sleeve I dont think It will fold up any smaller unfortunately

yeah I'm sure it works reliably I would just suggest if you're using a dump pouch to get something that goes really small and out of the way when not using it

can be a real pain in the ass if you're crawling around with it as you might imagine

same goes for plate carriers

I see a lot of people stacking WAY too much shit on the front of their carriers

I was guilty of that at first. All I have is a single triple mag carrier on the front now after trying to shoot prone off of a telephone pole lol

You've got a good head on your shoulders, I find one of the best ways to get used to gear is to literally wear it all the time in the house as much as possible

Adds weight to your day too for extra calorie loss
