Video

I can answer any questions you have as far as attachments, but in this video I only demonstrate the plastic belt loops. I recently moved some them over to one-wrap on a fixed belt, will drop a video on it hopefully in the next few weeks.

I went to the site before seeing your video. They have different types of rear attachments. But no descriptions or photos of the different types.

It's a great journey. I really enjoy my red dots though.

Yep! Aside from my nitpicking it's actually a really nice carrier and the quality appears to be quite good.

I haven't done the math but maybe the lower 1/3 version of this mount would get you there?

Eagle Industries Surplus pouches, and an appearance in the middle by an Esstac DST IFAK pouch.

Yeah, and everything else about this is nice. Hope they take the feedback into account, especially something like shoulders and plate bags don’t need to be adjusted all the time once they are set in place.

Hey yeah probably should have shown that. It does sit low enough that it's concealed well but I can get a full grip on it without having my knuckles hit the belt line.

That's crazy.

Hey Mate! Never tried the Commander, but I very much love this bag. Only thing is you may want to buy some elastic and buckles to DIY your own sternum strap. Thanks for the comment!

Great! Same mount, same everything. Happy with it. Sometimes I think for the money I should've saved up a bit more and just gotten an Aimpoint, but that's not because of any durability or performance issues, it's purely for the brand name and reputation.

Thanks….. I just brought one. There aren’t a lot of reviews and your video was helpful. You should definitely do a follow up on this optic

Wow. Did this happen to you or you saw it online? I've taken it on and off and I had no issue removing or replacing the BCM stock back as long as I followed the instructions (admittedly it's a bit tricky).

Yep, as long as you don't use the barrel band it would be free floated. I believe it would fit without any issues! But might want to check with Boyds just in case.

@@ordinary_american didn't realize how tiny them Ruger stocks are. That's what I have right now. But in 16".

Hey, sorry for the late reply! Yeah if I'm understanding correctly, it would be awkward to have a hinged GP pouch attached to the main dangler pouch, and have that all under your main chest rig load. I would do either 2 TQ's or 1 TQ and run shock cord through the hinged end and have a way to lash a small field knife or gloves. Of course play around with it and see what you like! It does take some trial and error to land at the right solution.

@@ordinary_american I appreciate it! I went with the 2 TQ holders and they look great!

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching

So I tied them together with elastic shock cord on the Molle webbing and that also allowed it to stretch with movement and breathing. You could use 1” siamese for webbing clips, or Green Force Gear makes Molle adapters that can be used to configure a chest rig, specifically created for this kind of setup. Shock cord worked fine for me. Let me know if you have any q’s.

Yeah it's going to be better than a Ferro Slickster or Trex AC1. More features, scalability, and ergonomics (in my opinion). Bags should be more comfortable too, but I didn't use it long enough to confirm.

Hey, I ended up replacing it with a fresh velcro and the old one did not damage the finish at all.

@@ordinary_american nice. Did u just peel it off slowly or did you have to apply rubbing alcohol and let it sit first before your peeled it off?

@@ST-ep5ek Just peeled it off. You could use a light spray of Ballistol or CLP if you want to make it easier to peel off.

It can definitely do that.

@@ordinary_americanLet’s see that video. Just saw a video that put XShears against Raptor and One Shear and XShears came out on top. Just wish the green handle came in the titanium coating.

That would be an interesting combination. Might look into that if I'm ever lucky to get a 1301...

Plain STX. It should, as long as the adhesive is applied properly and evenly, and the cordura is pressed down well. But best to ask someone like Havok who does this professionally! Thanks for watching, hope it works out.

Do you mean the part where I wanted belt loops instead of a clip? Just easier and why not, make the gear work for you.

Thanks for the feedback, yeah I could see how that comes across in the video. I can assure you I do use the tools and over the years it's become second nature! It's really a fantastic multitool that I continue to use till today.

So it's Esstac's unique way of attaching. You'll need the TQ dangler from them esstac.com/hinged-dangler-tourniquet-tq-pouch/ and then you'll thread that piece of polymer/tegris through both the TQ and the GP slots, then secure it in place with the laser cut end tie. Does that make sense? Their pictures on the website help and I'm sure they would be happy to walk you through it.

@@ordinary_american ah okay, looking at the photos i get what you're saying. I'm actually missing the polymer piece that inserts between the two, that's why i didn't understand it. thank you.

@@ordinary_american did you have to source the tegris yourself or did esstac supply it with the order?

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!

Yep, it’s great. Thanks for watching!

The Esstac website pictures are not updated but pretty sure they only make and sell the laser cut DST version nowadays.

@@ordinary_american thanks so much it said it was gen 2 I was just making sure before I order it great video man

Excellent choice of parts!

Yes it is!

The mod 1 or mod 3? I think about going the bigger mod 3

@@IkfNorCalChamp mod 3 still comfortable with my small hands, the proportions are very good

Love the K2 but going to give the Mod 3 a fair try, so far so good.

​@@ordinary_americanmod 3 is definitely better.

Thanks for the kind words! I took a look at it, interesting pouch - assuming you're referring to their Vertical IFAK. it looks like it sits flatter but wouldn't hold as much as the DST. The DST is bigger by about at least half an inch in width and depth. Looks like a good option though!

@@ordinary_american I agree, from looking at the esstac dst2 it seems to have more capacity than the direct action, which is a plus for me. Appreciate your reply, sir!!!

That's actually a great tool. It would be perfect for the resident IT guy or office handyman. Ultimately I like the Swisschamp because it still has tools that are useful outside the office and in the field, while still maintaining a very social/office friendly appearance.

Thanks for the feedback. It's something I've definitely been working on and have improved upon in the last year or so of making videos.

Many times I hear gun cycling on these videos and they sound so dry. Lube her up gentleman a little bit of grease and a lot of oil. I use 5 w
