What is your SINGLE most “favoritest” piece of gear?
This can be anything from a pack to a magpouch, as long as it is a piece of tactical/competition gear that you find does it’s job better than any other alternative.
If you modified it, what did you do?
Oh… that’s a tough one… but I’ll have to say my 6004 Holster for my G17…
I modded it to the high ride configuration and eliminated one of the leg straps…
It’s comfy… stands up well under heavy use and is very secure. The mod was simple and effective and it’s one piece of gear I use all the time…
Since I started this thread, I guess I should at least answer it.
My favorite piece of gear:
Hatch X-Tak kneepads.
Absolutely the best kneepads I have ever used, and they are cheap as dirt.
Might need a day to think about this…

Nice looking chest rig.
Who is the maker?
Thanks

TCI Liberator II’s with behind the head mount that integrate with my issued radio and use MSA Sordins as their base.
The old Paraclete plate carrier sewn in 2001…still going strong.
Followed by my new X300 with the Glock DG switch…very impressive!!!
Rob,
How reliable is the mag retention in those?
Works great for what I do; classes and matches. I’m not sure it would be the best thing for cruising around Iraq in the back of a HMMV, but for civilians (both LEO and non-) I think it’s plenty secure. The pouches are kydex-reinforced and then felt lined for retention.
It’s not tactical gear, but my Dillon case trimmer and trim die has really improved my life.
This is my favorite, even though I can’t use it for my current mission. You can fit everything in this bitch and still haul it long distances comfortably. It’s Built better than any ruck I have ever used.
My AWS Medical Trauma Vest which is part of my SAR kit:
Forgive my ignorance; this is an Eagle chest rig, no?
I’m sick of using AK chest rigs for AR mags, and need something just like this.
yep. Got mine here.
Mine as well. They say the Giraurd is even better. Better ias the enemy of good enough.
Don’t have one, so I can’t say for certain…but this could be it
Yeah, in Grey, that bag will kick ass. That bad fixes all the problems with the DBT E&E bag; which is great until you put the mags in it and it doesn’t stay vertical.
Conventional 6004 holster.
I agree. The DBT bag is the well made and smartly designed, but the strap needs to be redesigned. It’s too short for anyone over 110 pounds, especially with kit. As mentioned it flips over when loaded down (I guess that’s why they have the waist belt on the back).
I will definitely buy the Eagle bag…
