Pistol_Dude Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Cool rig Grim. What kind of belt is it? Link to post Share on other sites
Adiventure Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 So, my pheonix JR arrived today, I can see a very faint red flash with it plugged in, and and looking through my laptop camera a brighter flash (which I presume to be IR going through the camera's *suitcasey* filter). I can certainly see why it is favored over many of the other strobes, this thing is tiny. I'll upload some pics as soon as I find my real camera . I also got two pistol mag pouches, not quite sure if they are meant for .45s but they seem to hold my MEU mags decently. What do you'll recommend belt-wise? I've been using a pantac blast belt, but even with my HSGI suspenders it's a bit big and cumbersome. I think I'd like to move to a molle belt, or a padded duty belt, any advice on finding them?

tomster Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Looking cool there Dacosta! How is the holster? Any good? Link to post Share on other sites
Dacosta Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 The only flaw is when i slide the gun ,it´s pretty thight... i mean i have to hold the hammer so the slide wont move up...i guesse with a few games it will worn off... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
PPM05 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 @Tom: You can't really go wrong with Safariland 6004's ! --> Anyway I had the same "issue" as Dacosta, when I got mine it used to be a tight fit but now with a bit of wear (use) it fits perfectly. Btw what do those marks mean ? Link to post Share on other sites
Dacosta Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 18Foxtrot 01 it´s my team communication callsign... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
tomster Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I do have a black Safariland 6004 for my 1911 actually. But I was thinking of maybe trying to get a replica one in FDE, if they're good. But Dacosta's one sure does look good! Link to post Share on other sites
Dacosta Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 After i received today those tinny additions, i´ll post some pics for your critics! Link to post Share on other sites
Blindside Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Not bad overall. I'd get a PEQ and some kind of light. Is that an MBITR on your back right side? I'd recommend placing your M9 mags in your pouches the other way. That way you don't have to twist them around when you try and place them in your M9, you'll just be able to flip them up. Looks like the same thing goes for your M4 mags, helped me reload a lot faster once I realized to do that. Link to post Share on other sites

Dacosta Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I reload with my left hand... and the mags are on the left side... i think i cant optimise more than that! It´s a MBITR pouch for my midland...it´s a pain to turn on and change channel but it´s conffier that way... KWP: I'm an advisor with the Afgan Army...so i have the beard to make a stand! lol PS- the next thing on my shopping list is a pair of Bates boots! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Now I'm getting real anal: The grooming regulations for Marines deployed to Iraq and Astan say a full beard is still a No-go and a moustache must not protrude over the edges of your mouth. So Hitler's stache would be reg (watch Generation Kill and you what I mean). Link to post Share on other sites

Dacosta Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I know that a shaved Marine demonstrates his discipline and stuff but... man... those pics with bad a** beards... i could only think that those guys are up to anything! I have a Mich 2000 with goggles, MS2000 and NV mount but it´s freakin´ big for my head... there´s any store that sells MICH small sizes? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Buy a real one or use a headset underneath Link to post Share on other sites
Fatal Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 A rumor from a buddy of mine said that MSOAG is now 3rd MSOB and that MARSOC was getting a trident type uniform thing. He also said that MARSOC is wearing Crye stuff over seas. Link to post Share on other sites
-=OGGY=- Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks for the pic Fatal! That's the first time I've seen a pic of a Marine with a private purchase pictol grip. Not to mention they both have KAC BUIS'. (I can't tell if they are 600m or 300m; any chance you have a high res?) EDIT: Also, why were those guys allowed to paint their rifles?

Mr Foxhound Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 You guys do realize people have lives? If a person likes facial hair, dont complain about it. We are milsimmers not real Marines. Imo, that falls into the taking milsim to far category. Thats like saying you need a buzz cut to do a Marine loadout. Anyway, whats with the extended 1911 magazines? Looks awsome. Havent seen a Marine with those before. Does that unit use the MEU Pistol aswell? I heard about some units using Kimbers and other types.

masakarijoe Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 i could never wear a beard, even if i was allowed to. that *suitcase* gets annoying, especially with helmets. and in my opinion, looks silly. women do sometimes like the stubbles though... but those mags, i would guess, were probably bought at the PX... i use PMags that i got at the PX in the same fashion. -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
-MOOSE- Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah, there are pics and vids of Marines with beards, from what I know they are special forces, and I would be hella-surprised if I saw a full beard on a regular infantry grunt. Beards really can get annoying, and like Joe said, especially with a helmet. But they do look awesome, and serve a purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 When I 'forget' to shave for some time, I too find it a little annoying... Sometimes the cordura likes to pull on the hair too. D: Link to post Share on other sites
