Nope Egg, this is the prototype. It turned out to be too short to hold an E2e, hence the second version that you delivered. You did, however, sew the thick bottom seam on this one for me.

Hey Joe, did you guess right?

TR,

Sir, If you are carrying the above pictured pouch on your rigger's belt, does it interfere with the gun belt riding over it?

Mind sharing a pic of your gun belt?




Am I the only one that can only see the top of Psywar's picture?

I think, my guess way Egg? But it sounds like you altered it so my guess wasn't totally correct.

Woobie I get the same problem you are experiencing.

No, it is on a drop strap for that purpose.

Sorry, have to take one later. Still sorting out new components.

No.

TR,

Studying your first and second line gear, led me to some observations. Your first line appears to be further broken down into two groups: Your gun belt kit, and the items you carry on your riggers belt, and in your pockets.

I'm assuming this was done in case you were envisioning that something could occur that you would have to drop your gun belt. If that were to occur, it would appear that you would still have backup's of your critical items on your rigger's belt/in your pockets.


Am I tracking on your thought process Sir?
