Five-O:
No arguement on the utilization of a secondary weapon as exactly that...a SECONDARY weapon. Hence the rifle magazines on my 1st line gear.
This plate carrier has an internal velcro pocket behind the double stack tier in the front where a handgun can be placed. I have stuck my wife's P229 there and it is quite huge...I would expect anything I was issued to be equally large. Depending on what I have in the admin pouch, it should be easily accessable. This set-up may require removal of some items from the admin pouches' interior. Time will tell. I like the easy detachability of this thigh rig as well.

RL:
The pager is ancient, held together with scotch tape at each battery change. It has a horribly dim light that dims to zero if in vibrate mode. If lost, I could easily find a replacement in the "pager box" at the local Goodwill.
Nothing but the best:D

Looking good Brother. Egg does indeed do great work.

Eagle5US,
Take the T-2. It's just a knife. If it doesn't come back, we'll talk. I've got ya covered.

Eagle,

While your at wood check out the IED Courses there. DA open up some new course that EOD-TD was to run and control but with the Army's preal of wisdom they pass the SME off to the Engineer branch.
Anyways the center is called: Counter Explosive Hazards Center (CEHC)
Something for the old tool belt :D

Hopefully you like to hunt; Deers and turkeys are great there and Lake of the Ozarks is some good times.

knife situation
 

My next knife will be a Hide A Way, maybe two. Next deployment $$

nice writeup and pics, eagle. i get the same complaints from my wife when i ask her to snap pics for me.
on the HSGI suspenders, i don't have square shoulders, so i used to have the same issue. the triangle separator at the back is there because gene can't sew a fixed 'X' as everyone has different needs, but when you figure out where the best place for the 'X' is in the back (the highest you can slide the plastic triangle so that they don't slip off the shoulders), mark the place and angle that the straps cross, take off the plastic triangle, and sew the 'X' permanantly.
something else that will help is to put a few flat squiggles of shoe goo, silicone cement, etc under the straps where they go over your shoulders. i just put some wavy lines of hot glue, and they really make a difference in keeping them from slipping off.
cheers,
MM

I did exactly what MM is saying with mine, but I left the plastic thingy on there. So it only goes down to the sewn portion and stops. Works fine. Took the stitch bitch all of 30 seconds.

"Just a knife"? LOL. Yeah right - Raquel Welch is "just" a woman. 754 was "just" an A-Team. Bob Howard is "just" a Green Hat. COME ON! This is serious!:)

But do take it Eagle Brother. That's the kind of place you want the best available.

maybe I should tell you of the prototypes in work ;)

a simple diamond stitch is all it takes to secure the suspenders -

EGG

Tell! Tell! And get a hook up with AMEX!

I agree.

If it doesn't have a serial number, I wouldn't worry about it. In fact, if the budget allows, I would consider getting a civilian Green Beret knife to take with me.

On the next revision, that triple/triple ought to be a double double pouch. :D

Feel free to shoot back any feedback.

I have two questions:

1. Has there been further progress on this?

2. Is the pistol a USP or something else?

Thanks in advance. :)

1. What, the pager, or an LA lawyer war rig?:D

2. If it is the one the US Army issues him, it is a Beretta.:munchin

TR

His rig, which he said was a work in progress.

My rig is still in the design stage. ;)
