Sounds a bit like what happened with Rivus Fleet, or Babcocks. Can’t remember now he kept the Met servicing contract.

That is ridiculously cool ?

Just spotted this thread at a rather timely moment, as I’m currently pondering a battle belt. I currently run either a Platatac Peackeeper or Arktis chest rig, and sidearm just on my trouser belt. The chest rigs are great but at the last few games I played I could have done with just a battle belt. In the past I’ve used a Blackhawk Molle belt with Esstac Kywi’s and various other pouches, but the Blackhawk belt isn’t the most comfortable and shifts around a lot due to the lack of an ‘inner’ belt like you see on a lot of modern shooters belts, especially once you’ve added a couple of magazines onto it. I’ve stumbled across the Light Ops Belts from Dragon Supplies, and apart for being in MTP they look pretty spot on. The pouches are stitched to the outer belt, but would allow me to carry 3 primary magazines, 3 secondary magazines and a couple of small utility pouches for anything else. Currently got some Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket, so I’ll let you know how I get on!

I saw that post on X this morning, and I wondered the same!

That is absolutely wild, where do you even start with that? ?

This is the reason I now only have 2 Glock’s, no need to buy loads of different holsters. I’ve got a Safariland for if I’m using a light, and a Kydex Customs one for when I’m not and both have QLS mounts.

Might put mine back in the box ?

Went to the Defiant Battlesim on Saturday at Longmoor UTC. Had a really good day, only hampered by poor comms and a couple of autumn showers. The teams seemed well balanced and the marshals/organisers were able to provide advice and deal with issues (not that I saw any) quickly and positively.

How long before I can stand in the safe zone and say “back in my day we had to load our magazines with a manual speed loader, no auto loaders” ?

But we don’t want an auto loader .. we want a GBB Hi-Power!

@Marf83@Cyy8883 check out this thread, seems someone managed to...

Letting a mate borrow the A1 for a battlesim this weekend, have dropped it back to the short barrel to make it a bit easier for CQB and swapped the stock as the old school one is getting loose. Would love to have just an interchangeable set of upper receivers for this but it’s a nightmare because I’ve had it front wired.

I've always used this video to help me when it's been a while since I haven't programmed a UV-5R. Keep it simple, write down the settings and do them one at a time ??

Bands ??

I honestly didn't see any of that Saturday, maybe I was just lucky with the players around me!

@Emergencychimps yes I was there Saturday! That's a real shame to hear, like you say that sounds completely out of character from what I expect of the site. I wonder what caused it, there was a big group of players who had travelled up for the weekend from the South Coast, I had a good chat with them throughout the day but didn't experience any issues. Normally I stick to their filmsim weekends, maybe I'll continue that way in the future!

Popped along to Gunman Tuddenham for the first outing since April, mostly to test kit for the upcoming Defiant Battlesim in October. A good day to be fair, much warmer and drier than I expected, gameplay really good from both sides and not sure I heard of any hit-taking/cheat calling issues. Marshals were professional and helped to keep the gameplay going.

A fair point - I'm not sure 'need' is at all applicable to airsoft ?

I was tempted to buy another, but then realised that only once in the last few years of airsoft have I actually needed 3 pistol magazines at a game... ?

As others have said - I don’t get a notification for questions, and am unlikely to check on my own listings until they need to be renewed. I wouldn’t necessarily see it as bad manners or a measure of reliability; if you want a question answered then send a PM?

Definitely - do it before you get tinnitus like me, not nice to live with!

I discovered the magazines work well in my G19 as well which is nice to know, I probably will pick some more up but it might not be any time soon at £35 each (although I agree the orange follower is the best part ?).

Mine just arrived, really impressed by the quality as expected from TM. I have noticed the magazine release feels a bit stiff compared to my Gen 3 G19, probably just a case of breaking it in. The ambi slide release is a nice touch as well, and still fits well in both my Kydex Customs and Safariland holsters. Can't wait to give it a go at the next game!

Having not bought anything for a few months, I sold up some kit and then reinvested the money in some new bits! - 2x antennas for my Baofengs to try and improve squad-command comms - ACOG with RMR for my L119A1 - TM Glock 17 Gen 5 Feel like a kid at Christmas!

Really useful thread - I'm waiting on delivery of an ACOG which I want to stick a piece of acrylic or lexan on ?? hadn't even thought of eBay!
