Nice attitude. I'm sure you can live without it, and I can fix this thread so you won't be bothered by it.

No, no, no. Please, don't take my comment the wrong way. Every time you get some cool guy, go faster gear I usually "can't live without it" (maybe my use of the quotes was wrong???) My attitude is of envy, not disrespect.
Oh man I hope I didn't make NDD's sh*t list

I ran the HSGI suspenders in Iraq. They worked well but I disliked the shock corded attachment system as it always seemed to untie itself.
When I got back I switched to the ones by DBT and I like them much better.
I am however interested to see this new thingy NDD is speaking of.

Have to wait 'til Monday now. Joe's post distracted me and I forgot to take the pictures....

Ok, the group has been punished long enough for Joe's transgression.
In the pics, the model is wearing the latest HN Jarhead uniform. The belt is a TAG rigger belt, there is an EMDOM 3o2 MC mag pouch attached. The holster is of unknown origins, but a good one of kydex.
This is a very simple set up for Instructors on a range, etc. Very light and will be hardly noticeable even after a full day of training. I'm going to have to add hook and loop to the inside of the holster to keep it from moving around so much.
The suspenders are great. Very well thought out design, light yet made with EMDOM's usual attention to detail and outstanding workmanship. The chest strap was a great addition. The suspenders are elegant in their simplicity. Ken and MM did a great job.
There are more new EMDOM products in the works. They are making great kit IMO and the customer service is simply outstanding. And their product line is different from other makers.
Go take a look. You will be pleased.

Nice! Great review and pics, worth waiting for. Thanks, NDD. Is that your PS.com Leatherman in one of the pouches?
The strap tiedown in Pic 3 of the contact range pics, is that elastic or hook and loop?
Great job again, EMDOM and MM!

Neither, it simply loops around the belt then through the buckles. There is a small piece of hook and loop that can be added or left off as you wish. I did use them on the straps that hit the belt where the belt has H&L for it. That is one of the beauties of these, very simple. No elastic, nothing to hang up on.
No, that's my old Leatherman. I carry my PS.com one on another set up.

I think you are making assumptions.
