It also sucks because I just sold my glock17, so my only pistol at this point is a glock 27. Get a holster for that? or just buy another 17. that's my other issue.

Other issue is I'm not sure what light I'm going to run yet either. Was first thinking the APL, then was migrating towards x300v. I may even just get a glock19 instead. |

19 will definitely fit in a 17 holster, I buy 17 holsters because I have both pistols
As for the APL, I really, REALLY want to love it, but I have one on my FNX45 Tactical and I don't really like the controls. Instead of just flicking a switch for momentary, you have to long press it... a quick push turns the light steady on, and you have to hold down and release to turn it off again. Seems weird to me. Otherwise it works great. |

Need to add a dump pouch to mine. I might stack the second fast mag over the first so I can reach it easier, I still have to turn slightly to reach that second mag.

At a good class you'll be able to find out stuff you do and don't like about some of the things you might decide to carry. Yea... at this point some stuff would just be extra supplies for someone else to put to use in case on an emergency (the two things I listed, i can do... i can seal a chest wound *but i wouldn't be comfortable cath'ing it and draining any fluid buildup* and i can pack a wound for sure). I've taken a weekend class but 2 days isn't really enough to become very proficient/confident. I'm also an Eagle Scout ... which i did have to do some medical training for but that was about 10 years back. I have a lot of medical exposure (i worked in the OR) and a lot of medical education but minimal hands on training. I'm definitely going to do it. Don't have any reason not to. ETA: looks like what i would take would be a 6 month course so just need to find the time to do it. They offer it in the evenings so next semester i can schedule classes around it. Hope its worth it bc it costs over 1k (paramedic course is like 5600 ) |

I used a double m4a taco for rifle mags so I could put a canteen/go pouch on. You also may want the belt drop for your holster so you don't have raise your shoulder and arm to draw. Also the scissors goes inside the fatboy. Against the back of the pouch in the pocket. And you want to set the TQ up to use, it looks like it's right out of the plastic and not re set to slap on someone. |

I just recently picked up the shears and TQ and just threw them on the belt so I wouldn't lose them in the piles of lose gear. ETA - I run the belt down closer to my hips currently, and I have long torso (6'1") so I haven't have issues with the holster so far. Its a good point though, and I've seen some rigs that just drop it a few inches that seem to work well, so I will give that a try if I have any issues. Originally Posted By thornejc:

Esstac DST Blowout This is nice kit and is tearaway. I have never seen one mounted infront of mags on belt, might get in the way of kneeling or squating but none-the-less, great kit. cp View Quote Indeed, both the DST Blowout and the KYWIs are top notch. Tear away was a must have feature for me. It is spaced far enough to the side that it doesn't really seem to interfere with sitting, kneeling, prone, etc. Though I haven't run it through any drills yet, I went through different positions and motions during set up and test fitting. I am confident though, that the real world will inform me of my errors and I will adjust accordingly. The feedback is appreciated and well received. In considering the layout, I felt it important to be able to access some items with either hand and quickly: IFAK, flashlight, and a small utility blade. Additionally, it would seem that if I am injured and must attempt to treat myself, I'm not going to be able to do that very well laying on my stomach so I would most likely be on my back. Mounting my IFAK to the rear where I would possibly be laying on top of it and trying to access with my faculties compromised, or inadvertently concealing it from a buddy, didn't make sense. I thought mounting it closer to the front might be an easier location for a buddy to access (which is the more likely treatment scenario anyway), as well as easier to get to myself. I also wanted to leave the back clear so I could sit in a vehicle. Can't wait to get some dirt on it and see what shakes loose. |

I also wanted to leave the back clear so I could sit in a vehicle. Can't wait to get some dirt on it and see what shakes loose. I see your point, conversly I think you will find eventually that there is no perfect set up for all senarios. The concept of being able to access the IFAK with either hand would be preferred but in my experiance is not practical. IMHO I would rather have faster access to my primary and secondary weapon magazines and be able to get to them first (possibily with either hand) especially when sitting in a vehicle. But I only run a Small IFAK with H&H and Quickclot bandage /TQ on my belt just behind my Pistol on the right side. Not ideal, granted. But I figure if I need it that bad I can Pop my belt and roll off of it to get to it. I run my ESSTAC IFAK/DST on my Chest Rig/ Right side as well. Being Tear away I can get to it with either hand as well with some effort. I have threaded and run and taken off those damn Malice clips more times than my sore fingers want to admit, trust me, there is no Perfect setup, but some are more functional than others. JMHO though cp |

I have a plate carrier as well, but it is a minimalist and has no cumberbund, so my draw isn't hindered by anything to my sides. Comes straight up at the 3 o'clock position and clears everything just fine. If you have anything to the side of your carrier, you may want to look into a drop. |

Considering that where most people's hands naturally hang to - it gives an amazingly smooth and natural draw. If you're worried about riding it in vehicles, cant the RTI holster forward one notch. This will give it an extra inch or two of lower holster clearance and also make it easier to draw while seated in a vehicle. |

I don't have either... i'm using the crye gun clip (which isn't the fastest back in... not difficult but not "fast" so i'll prob lanyard it) so this argument doesn't apply to anything i am running but I'm just saying... if you can draw your CC, you should be able do draw without a drop. Its not that hard... you are supposed to draw up your body anyways. I don't think my arms are super stubby |
