I like your set-up. To the point. O0

[Ging]

A very nice set of gear, you have most things covered :)

[Dave in PA]

How about a speed strip or two?

Too much ammo is never a problem.

I don't really get the nylong cuffs..... They're for tying up people's hands I imagine? :help: Google yielded only bondage stuff >:( :laugh:

Wouldn't some large wire ties (zip ties, I think most people call them) be safer and easier to carry???

[Chuck G.]

Dave, I like the speedstrips and do carry them on occassion. I also have used speedloaders but have had them open one to many times in my pocket. Loading a small revolver is difficult at best under stress with a speedstrip or speedloader. I always keep a BOB in my personal vehicle that has a Glock 22 with light mounted, 5 magazines, 2 speed strips, Raid Shirt, AR Magazines, Buckshot and Slugs, IFAK, Gloves, Water, Munchies, Flexcuffs, Emerson Commander and a bunch of other stuff. Next to my BOB I have a plate carrier with muti hit plates. I tend not to carry a bunch of flashlights because all of my weapons have mounted lights except for my revolver. What I have shown is my basic EDC that is bare minimum. The above would be grabbed if needed to take action in any difficult situation such as active shooter.

When I am not working I tend not to inject myself into situations that require me to take enforcement action unless absolutely necessary. I would rather avoid a situation than get in the middle and get shot by the responding officers. This has happened several times in the last couple of years most recently in Norfolk Va.

CanDo, I love the nylon cuffs. I can wad them up and put them in the bottom of my left front pocket. Flexcuffs are better but they are very bulky and difficult to carry.

[CanDo]

Hmm, Interesting to see that the flexcuffs are just fancy zip ties :laugh:... I guess I was on to something. Whatever works for you, thanks for serving, stay safe. :)

[pipedreams]

Very nice.

Chuck,

Clearly you have your act together. Very well thought out planning and execution. Will you be my new neighbor? Mine is a flaming liberal and cop hater. ;D

[vinn]

Interesting Nylon Cuffs.
Are those DIY or off the shelf products?

[wolf]

I like the revolver - very nice.

[Chuck G.]

Vinn, the nylon cuffs are off the shelf. You can get them from most police supply outfits.

Wolf, thanks. I'll take five for sure all day long. I love revolvers. They are just very cool. Maybe it's becuse I watched all those TV shows about detectives with a 5 shot when I was a kid.
