This is what I'm running right now
DBT Belt
DBT 3 Mag Pouch
MaxEpedition Dump Pouch
CDS pouch for my PS Leatherman and Surefire G2Z
HSGI holster on a CDS hanger
Need a better hangar - on the way
The jury is still out on the holster. I don't have it quite to my liking yet, it moves around. But it's new, so I'm going to keep working on it.
The belt is GTG, very good for the back. It slips a little on a flightsuit, but not too bad.
All in all I'm pleased. The search continues.

I approve. LOL
What is the make and model of the handgun in the holster?

Glock 19?

The slide looks like a Glock, but I don't believe that Glocks have the two circular grip thingys on the handle.
That was a technical term, BTW . . .

Good looking 1st Line. You were right; that is an ugly hanger. Help is on the way though. Left today sooo with your mail system it should be there by Christmas.
And yes I labeled it right the first time, this time. ;)

Aaaah, I thought it looked a little big. I just recall you mentioning something about a 19.

OK, I googled for Glock 17 images and I see some with the grip thingys and some without. I have one, and mine doesn't have them.
That's what I get for assuming . . . :o

I have a 19, the 17 is my work gun.
RL, the grip things appear to be generational. I don't really care one way or another. I usually put a couple of strips of bicycle inner tube on them anyway. In fact, I'm putting the tubes on that gun tomorrow.
Crip,
It happened just like I said, that hanger didn't last a half day at the range. That is some of the problem I am having with the holster. Many thanks again.
All in all I like it. I really like the belt. It feels more solid and doesn't cut like a regular duty belt. You gotta be careful though, you can hang too much crap off of it and turn your first line into a lineman for the county tool belt.
I like to keep it down to the bare minimum. That way when I reach for a gun or mag, I know I'm getting what I wanted.

Why do you use the tubes? Prevent slippage? Cushion recoil? Better fit for big hands?
NousDefionsDoc

Fills the palms better. It also gives me an index to make sure I have my hands high on the grip. I wear gloves, so slipping isn't a problem.
Cushion recoil? On a handgun? LOL Sarge, that MFer don't recoil, it flicks!

If you really want to know what we think of the word “sarge” just find yourself an active duty Special Forces Master Sergeant or Sergeant Major and call him “sarge”. Make sure you do it in front of a few dozen spectators for a better effect.

NDD,
I like the set up. Seriously considered going the same route a while back, but went with the Eagle H-suspenders and Eagle duty belt instead. The suspenders take all the weight off of my hips/back for the comfort factor and allow more conventional mounting options for mag holders/drop leg holsters, etc. And the suspenders also allow for height ajustments, meaning I can actually lower my duty belt below where I might normally wear a belt, but still have the weight supported by my shoulders and not my hips.
Here's a sample picture of the set up. This is not my stuff...just one example of how it can be set up. This is from Eagle's website.

This one's closer to how mine is set up.

I refuse to be a part of that ambush :D
I sent a young medic PL (2LT) to get a PRC-8 from my HHC 1SG. I reminded him that the appropriate way to ask for it was not to say P - R - C, but to shorten it and say pricky since the 1SG had no time to waste with little things. Long story short, young LT asks 1SG for some commo equip and asks where he can find a Prick-E8,......... I did push-ups in my foxhole for a long-time for that one. :)

I took them off to see how it would ride without them. Rides good either way. I just have to fix the holster hangar issue.
Speaking of gear I found the first DA Photo of Longrange1947........LOL

What else dont you like about the holster? Having any trouble reholstering? I had a bit with mine and never could get it figured out so I switched to a soc rig in a HSGI shroud...
just my limited experience here though...

I think all the problems stem from the way it hangs. Other than that and being new, it's fine.

Stay safe.

Thanks Guy, that's what I did. It actually works fairly well that way. Still need the hangars though, for other stuff. I probably need to add an inch to the holster strap do it gets a better grip on the velcro.
