Comment on Hide your Heat: Shoulder Thing by Will

Another mod I made to my rig is to increase the spare mag count. If you look at the rear photo, you’ll see the spider is not centered, which indicates an unequal weight. I was originally looking to get the rig more balanced, but a bit more ammo for a really bad civil disturbance might be useful. Still only comes to 29 rounds, total, for me.

I went to a gun show and bought one of those cordura nylon belt holders for 4 mags. It has velcro covered retaining straps, so it will fit different length mags. I also picked up a used Galco ammo dump pouch for a shoulder rig. I drilled out the rivets holding the Galco pivoting strap mounts, and riveted them to the short end of the 4-mag pouch, so the openings face forward when worn.
You can get accessory 3 and 4-mag leather pouches from some of the makers, but they are bulky and expensive. This nylon setup is comfortable and low profile. And cheap!

There is a holster maker that makes a leather mag holder that holds TEN 1911 mags! They sit sideways, but they stack flat, in individual slots, with the edge toward the body, to get that many in a compact area. And costs around $185, or $155 for 6 mags.

[...] tweet used to include a link to the CSGV’s weblog wherein they did the outing, until such time as Weer’d requested Baldr take it down. One cannot mistake the sentiment in those short sentences, [...]

The gun I have is a steel frame one, and not technically a j frame but the cylinder goes around the correct way and it’s the same size. I’m thinking of ordering one of these holsters but I’m a bit worried that the extra weight of a steel gun will be an issue.

Gee….did they bring tanks and torches like they did to break up the bonus marches too?

I think he “studied” by watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Saturday mornings.

Dubstep, 40 years ago that was called instrumental heavy metal. I have a few examples on vinyl.

That was a good one. That reminded my of a riff from Rick Wakemans Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Though I still hate klingon opera (aka rap).

That analogy makes you awesome! No two ways to look at it!

BTW do a “Rule 34″, Transformers Google search and you’ll find LOTS of stuff

Here’s a fairly SFW example

yeah, Laci attempted to flex his muscles to intimidate me. He was met with laughter.
