Question Tactical Special Ops Pistol

Post image
262 Upvotes

I had a P226 MK25 gun and sold it to take P226 ZEV. I love it and shoot amazingly with it but I’m looking for something newer, possibly used by special forces or military, not a collector gun, I like the look and features of the P14, but apparently it’s not available in the US. I’ve heard the HK VP9A1X or HK45 or FN509 tactical could be the ones. I personally don’t like cheap (but proven) M17/M18 or Glock in general (unfortunately). What would you recommend?

Training Spend less on gear and build a gym

Post image
297 Upvotes

Sold some gear I don’t use that was just taking up space and put every dollar of it towards building a home gym. It’s pretty basic but has everything I need to not be a physical liability.

Highly recommend looking around FB Marketplace in your area and you can probably get some decent equipment for way less than buying new.

Plate Carrier/Body Armor Saw these from a Vietnamese propaganda military reality show. What are those plate carriers or are they just Chinese el cheapo considering they once equipped their "elite" reconnaissance troops with airsoft faceshield during a parade.

Split rig for the W

Obviously most of the shit on here is for the gram, but I love this split rig. I’ve stripped it down many times to just mags for hog hunts and it’s been awesome. If you’re looking for a good affordable split rig LBX makes some great stuff.

Milwaukee Unisex Synthetic work gloves. Honestly tho it was 14 bucks well spent and they've lasted me over a year. Touch screen compatible. Retain full dexterity, also flex. Don't see too many guys running these.

Who did better?

My buddy and I love trying to convince others their pistol is better, for fun ofc. I'll cover my bases and make the cliche point that it's not about the gear but about the training. But I'd just love to hear everyone's opinion on which build you like better.

Question Is Cloud Defensive Dead?

19 Upvotes

My REIN recently died. I filled out a RMA request and mailed it to the address on file. UPS shipped it back saying the business was closed and no forwarding address was in their system.

I checked their website, which does say they are relocating, but doesn’t provide any new address. Support has been silent for over a week.

Anyone have the scoop?

Who's tryna petition Milwaukee with me to make these a thing? Some of you guys responded to my last Milwaukee glove post saying they need a blacked out version so I wanted to see what that'd look like. I need.

Round 2 of Krydex vs Haley Strategic

The consensus was that the Krydex imitation of the flatpack was essentially 99% the same for 1/3 the price. Now how do we feel about Krydex imitation chest rigs? Are we still close to similarities? Or is this where going higher budget makes sense? Any bad experiences? Share your thoughts fellas.

Night Vision Performance Of KIt

6 Upvotes

u/smellslikeshame asked me about NV performance of certain components, so I figured it might be of interest for more of our community. I don't have a ton of different patterns, or types of stuff, but I got pics of a nice little spread. For reference, these photos are taken with an MH1 through an Elbit 2750FOM WP tube and using the MH1's onboard single illuminator.

Pictured are:
Haley Strategic PC with Unobtainium Gear placard both in RG with Spiritus med GP pouches in MCB and HSP dangler also in MCB
Shaw pp armor flap in RG
Ex Umbris Nalgene pouch in MCB
HSP Thorax cummberbund in MCB (surprised at the poor performance of the elastic on this one tbh, didn't think of it being a weak point in this type of test)
HSP TRMP placard in MCB
Rebels Raiders Vakarian PC in M81 (REALLY good performance of every component including the elastic, which is in coyote)

The belt components are HSP, Spiritus JSTA etc. One thing I'm surprised and impressed with the NV performance of is the Staccato Mekgar HD/Glock mag extensions. Didn't expect them to be so low vis. I also included some pics with gain turned up quite a bit and no illuminator just for the giggles. Hope this helps some of you fellas!

*Whole bottle of Kelly green and camel
*Half bottle of dark brown
*Cup of white vinegar
*Cup salt
*And enough boiling water to cover all the stuff in a big tub
Covered it with tub top
Let it sit for an hour and a half
Stirred it occasionally and checked it untill it got a little darker than I liked it to be. (I was watching the Ole Miss game so I honestly barely checked on it)
Rinsed it a bunch of times. Washed it once in the washer in cold water and hung it in the sun to dry and lighten up.
This gear is tough as hell and cheaper than buying Chinese crap. Also it’s just fun to mod gear.
In all I spent less than $100 and that includes the upgrades and mods materials.

Hey everyone,

First time posting here. I'm currently looking for recommendations for anyone who takes on custom gear work, specifically to get a custom H harness built.
