But the mags are reached obviously with your weak hand.

Opposite of the buckle was spray, then cuffs then taser

Leather is pretty, but its a piss poor material for daily duty use.

That has to be some of the classiest duty leather still in use.

I would have to agree.


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

We were issued two sets of duty gear.

A "working" set. Safariland basket weave

And a high gloss set for ceremonial wear

I'm tracking now. When you wrote mid-line I was thinking centerline. As in toward the holster.

Bent Nail is a powerful thing...

I posted there first and then came to the idea to try it here just because I thought that I would meet some more people in this forum than in the Sig community.

OK, I am from Germany and I use the name of the icon of the handgun world "ElmerKeith" but that's the way I try to express my appreciation.

By the way, I always thought that it should be spelled "weird" and not "wierd".

I've examined, worn or been issued a whole bunch of duty gear between the Bicentennial and this spring.

Nylon is a lighter, low maintenance alternative to leather and it's fine for hard-use belts, pouches and keepers. Safariland's hard-shell holsters are about as good as it gets in that class of equipment.

The worst shixt I ever saw issued was Clarino.

There is still nothing more comfortable than the old billeted style belts depicted in the first post of this thread.

I believe our livestock inspectors have the same rigs.

I spoke with a livestock inspector friend about their issued duty rig. He didn't know off-hand. Another inspector was sitting there and he thought the gear was made by a gal out of Bozeman. Neither were carrying at the time obviously.

Expect to hear back soon and will let you know.

First time I saw the show, I asked the same thing. The holsters are appealing for woods carry. Looks like you can fit a backpack belt between the gun and your waist. The entire belt is appealing. Nice leather work is hard to find today.

I believe the Montana DOL and FWP get some of their gun leather from a Mom and Pop leather shop in Bozeman, MT called Awl Works on North Rouse in Bozeman. I have several of their holsters and the fit, finish and quality is superb.

~$500. Maybe more.

Looks brand new.

No cover for "rangers"?? The San Francisco-looking dude needs one.


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Yes, the sideways mag pouches are a big no no. Very slow on reloads and most often encountered on guys in their third trimester of pregnancy. I have also seen mag pouches worn sideways and on the weak of the side or back of the hip. Terrible set up for fast, smooth reloads.
