Well, there is another option, there is a replica if a Harris 152 out there, runs about $300, but works like a baofeng. The up side is that it's solid aluminum shell, 10 watts, and waterproof... even seen a guy shoot one with a pistol and it kept going. Takes all the real military accessories

6 pin?

I haven't broke any if my baofeng radios while running and gunning, and I actually do work in my kit unlike many. But I also run a kydex holster from Milwaukee Custom Kydex.

Yeah, 6 pin... I'll send a link.

If you get one of those do NOT buy from any other seller than that link, they all get intercepted by customs. That guy uses DHL and they always make it through.

Sweet

Functionally it's still just a baofeng dual band radio, but it uses different circuitry

So it’s a 10w?

Yeah, tested too

Sweet

Was thinking ab getting the b8-8hp but it that one is 10 I’ll just save up

They even make a 117 manpack replica too if you wanna carry around a 10 pound baofeng 😂

They take genuine thales batteries too, lasts a week using a bunch every day

Damn

Done a few week long training things and my buddy never changed his battery

Maybe if I had a commo guy I’d reccomend it lol

They are actually made for the airsoft milsim guys

But well worth the money

I keep spending my money on other Gucci gear or else I'd have one, lol

I feel you there

Just got my belt setup working on my chest rig

But I’ve got the baofeng and was gonna get my ham before all this crazy

I've added another pistol mag to that since

I run 2 and 2 as well

But blue force for pistol

I run 6 on my carrier

Pistol?

I run all esstac kiwi

Nah, 5.56

I run esstac on my 5.56

Double deep?

No, two single triple mags with malice clips

That way i can slim down to 3 if i want extra prone space

I’m gonna run a triple shingle then the BFG on top of that

Same philosophy

I keep two extra pistol mags in that IFAK side pockets on the belt

I’m only gonna put on on a pouch because I don’t seeing myself use pistol in that kit much

Yeah, pistol is really a backup, but one is none and two is one
