Those are each different rigs, so likely personal choice What makes you think they are different rigs? And sideways mags on your strong side front, openings facing midline are damned fast Did you mean weak side? Travis

But the mags are reached obviously with your weak hand.
Opposite of the buckle was spray, then cuffs then taser

then stay with your Uncle Mikes nylon...... Nahh...when I still wore a duty rig daily, and on the occasions I still wear one now (rarely)..Uncle Mikes is nowhere to be found. Jones Tactical Belt, Safariland everything else. 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.

We were issued two sets of duty gear.
A "working" set. Safariland basket weave And a high gloss set for ceremonial wear

Opposite of the buckle was spray, then cuffs then taser I'm tracking now. When you wrote mid-line I was thinking centerline. As in toward the holster. Bent Nail is a powerful thing... Travis

The OP posted this same question on the Sig forum 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. it is a little wierd, using keith's name, then german burger, from forest germany. 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 started at age 20 but cannot deny the accusation.

I started much younger than 20, but my first time was in 1976 too...

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.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

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.
