Good article. Rob_S is a big contributor over at M4Carbine.net. His website in general has a lot of good info. That ready tactical ambi Ar15 mag pouch looks like a nice piece of kit.

Thanks for posting

Interesting.

I have a Blackhawk vest under the bed right now. Should I ever hear a disturbing bump in the middle of the night, I can shrug it on and buckle the belt quickly without bothering to zip up. It contains a flashlight, folding knife, and a spare magazine for my PS90, which happens to be my go to gun right now. (Shorter than any of my other carbines, and if necessary I can aim and shoot it with one hand. Waiting on pistol permit. )

I usually cart this to the range as well, as it's handy for holding spare magazines, drop pouch, and water/snacks. Plus, the shoulder pad is nice for avoiding M44 shoulder. ;D

I'd like to get a drop holster for it as well. Just waiting on that permit... : (Of course, I have ammo and magazines, so I might as well get the holster too.....)

The only issue with my setup is that if/when I get an unrestricted permit, I obviously can't walk around all day in this vest with a drop holster. So, I'd have to switch between practicing with it and with a concealed holster.

EDIT: Oh, in case I sound paranoid: Earlier this year an armed robber ran past my house waving his pistol in the air. 2 blocks away the police shot an armed gangbanger who was drawing down on them. Two of the many reasons I want to move to somewhere more rural.

Wow, I don't blame you for wanting to move.

I moved from the country to the city and I hate it. As soon as I can get enough money scraped together for a down payment I'm buying a house in the country.

As soon as I get my permit! :P Trust me, I'm not the one dragging my feet. I've been to Timber Creek 2x pressing my nose against the glass over the XD I want....

Roger. Told him that before too. ;D He's a nice guy, much friendlier than most shop owners around here.

Also, this money for the XD is burning a hole in my pocket! I keep passing up some nice rifle deals to make sure I have it for the pistol, and it's killing me! :'( ;D

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz *snark* zzzzzzzzzzzzz Whuh? Oh, sorry. I dreamed I had a pistol permit in time for a class. :

And, maddeningly, I just got back from WV where a friend of mine can buy pistols on a whim. Of course, for some reason he bought a Ruger p-94 from a pawn shop. FOR $785!!!!!! he asked me if that was fair, and I told him "sure. For two of them." :P

Of course, I JUST got my permit today. I don't even have a way to possibly get a pistol until at least Monday. Grrrrrr......
