firelord Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 yes im considering to buy a us ghillie flage suit but was woundering the best way to carry my mags and a pistol for back up, the suit has both a jacket and trousers, can anyone help with ideas thanks Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 because its got trousers, perhaps a hip holster would be a good idea. i use a concealment vest and that allows me to use a thigh holster but im going to replace it because im so skinny that the holster rotates round to the front of my thigh when i crawl on my hands and knees, which i end up doing alot.

Trasher Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I carry my sidearm, holster and mags attached to a waistbelt, all items behind the hip bone to not interfere with stalking, crawling. The ghillie jacket hangs over the belt. Link to post Share on other sites
Downtown_two Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 +1 to the man above, I recently used a safariland 6004 but had problems when crawling etc so immediately switched to a hip holster. Let your jacket hang over but make sure you can access it all easily. Link to post Share on other sites
docs90 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Forus holster on my hip or to rear near my spine , doesnt effect my crawling then and it concealed if i ever get captures , i apear un armed ,for the momment anyways (its worked before) Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 yep, carry mine on a ghillied outer belt, near my spine too, in a plce ammo pouch. works for me. its as good as a holster as everything is covered apart from the bottom of the mag/grip... Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 am thinking about having mine mounted on the front of a chest rig nice and high to the left, that way my hand has less of a distance to travel therefore less movement to be spotted. But i suppose if you are wearing a ghillie with a full front then cutting a hole and haveing a belt mount would be better. Link to post Share on other sites
The Bushman Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I gave away my drop leg (it didn't fit my tiny legs ). Instead, I use either a minimal wyvern webbing set and use the left hand ammo pouch (on my left hip) to fit my pistol. Or I use a SAAV and fit the pistol in one of the front magazine pouches. If I am not using either rig, I just carry the pistol in an inside jacket pocket. The webtex concealment vest is basicly a cloak and has a belt at the waist. This really means you struggle to use a belt kit and cannot place items behind the hip bone, if you want to actually access them. I know its unconventional, but it works for me having my pistol on my front. I very rarely need to speed draw and often just get my pistol out when moving through dense terrain or near ridgelines. I also get it out if I decide to lay an ambush and put it next to my hand. Despite going prone for ambush, it is rare I actually crawl and this suits the position of my pistol. If your kit allows a belt kit then that is what I recommend. Good Hunting Link to post Share on other sites
conger Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Firelord, with the full jacket solution that you are using / planning to use, the hip holster is the way to go. Make sure it's a good fit though and has a security strap [which is easy to manually disengage but secure enough not to pop by itself]. I tried a leg holster but I got tired of cleaning dust, dirt and sometimes even clay out of my leg holster and gun. Similar to The Bushman, I now use a front pocket of my SAAV vest but I stuffed my hip holster [Glock 17] into the front left large ammo pocket first, and now I can secure my sidearm into the holster inside that pocket and store may second mag in there also. I'm right handed, so it's on the left and it it works really well so far. Good Hunting Link to post Share on other sites
Rang3r Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 maybe a stupid question, but where do you guys carry your radios? I'm going to buy a radio pouch for it, but i dont know where to attach it, cos i don't wear any Tactical Vest's or something like that Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 i wear a belt rig with a harness under my ghillie the radio pouch sits almost directly in them middle of the belt at the back with the headset wire running up the back of the harness. works perfectly. as the wire doesnt get tangled any where.

Rogue Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I would suggest not getting a drop leg. I had to because of my completely un-neccessary handcannon and it just gets in the way. Takes crawling right out of the question. Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Is there any way of securing your sidearm to the stock of your rifle, without it getting in the way as you fire? Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 on my L96 there was enough room to mount a small holster on the stock and put a Glock26C in it without it getting in the way, VSR stock is a little small though, might give it another go one day but atm my current rig seems to work fine.

thewallhitme Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 omg thats genious! although, i doubt my USP will fit on the stock. i do keep my speed loader strapped to the side of it with elastic. are there any other options other than drop leg, for when using a concealment vest. im getting fed up with my drop leg making my drag my pistol in the mud Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I also thought about putting holster on the VSR stock (to the big amusement of my team mates ), but the mk23 is too big for that. Link to post Share on other sites
conger Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 are there any other options other than drop leg, for when using a concealment vest. im getting fed up with my drop leg making my drag my pistol in the mud Hip belt as mentioned above or a vest.

L4byr1nth Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I also need a solution to carry my sidearm with me, and want a stock holster for my Tanaka M700 A.I.C.S.... Has anyone seen a holster that can fix to a stock? I've tried google, and searching, but nothing. Might have to modify a drop-leg to fit... Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
epicdoom Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have my Holster sewn into my jacket under my armpit hanging upside down the holster has my burlap tied into it so as not to show. I found with the pistol mounted here it's out of the way in any position I'm in, and I can get it out very fast. with very little movement. Doom Link to post Share on other sites

Ben. i used a cheap viper holster at the time (i was poor) and i used 2 webbing straps around the stock with buckles to secure it. now i would probably do the same but use a better securer holster.
