The wrong batteries... wait what?

Although actually that's a pretty sensible choice.  

Good call on not going sniper right off the bat. You should have a pretty good day with that combination.

Oh, I would recommend getting a lanyard for the pistol, you don't want to be dropping that in a bush!

I needed it by Sunday but Nov no deliver by Sunday ?

With enough tape and sufficient disregard for aesthetics, no battery is too large.

11.1 lipo 3000mah plus I didn't wanna risk ripping out the internals if i trip

 

[Skara]

I'm with Sawyer, just tape them batteries, and don't worry, you won't rip anything. Doesn't look pretty, but honestly who cares.

Neither do 98% of airsofters    

+1 on a lanyard though. My brother dropped his pistol in woodland when running on my first game and never found it again. I went straight out and bought one for my pistol, still use the same one today!!

Oooh ooh! i know i know! I care, mostly because it's my first setup and also I play 99.9% outdoors and the weather lately is already unfriendly for AEG's

I went straight out and bought [a lanyard] for my pistol

Buy one, make one out of paracord, use a leather thong or bit of parcel string or whatever you have to hand, just don't learn the hard way why you want one.

I'm a fan of an old style non-elastic cord secured to my shoulder, and just long enough to hold the pistol out at arm's length.  None of your waist secured springamajigs that will bounce it into the mud.

Yeah its a bit of a pain, and a snag magnet, but rather it hit the mud and get dragged so I notice it than lose it forever.

That being said it has never bounced out into the mud yet anyway so will persevere as im too lazy to make my own

Ex-workmate Eddy just found out the hard way why he wanted one.

Tracer unit is a write off, gnu is with me to see if I can identify (if not fix) the problem with it.

Minimum £60 loss from not using a £6 (or 6p) lanyard.

Hmm I just spent £60 on a level 2 retention holster so I can feel comfortable I won't lose my pistol or magazines from a textile holster. I'll still throw my magazines in to the ground like an idiot I am sure. 

 

[Rogerborg]

I believe that he didn't drop it from the holster, he fumbled it out of his hand right at the end of the day.  Maybe he needs a level 2 retention hand?

Next time duct tape the gun to his hand.

Level 9000 retention for pennies.

the big name lanyards are expensive for what they are.

Will a Chinese knock off do the job just as well?

A piece of string will do the job better than nothing.

Can't speak to the springamajiggy ones, but a piece of paracord works just fine for me.

Yes, I had one when I first started out. However, they are gash in general. You either have to attach them up near shoulders in the hope they dont touch the ground OR you attach them to your vest/belt and they still hit the floor, you just do not lose the pistol. My advice would just buy a retention holster, much much better. I've had 4 different retention holsters, never lost / had a pistol fall out.

I take your point but it is not uncommon for people to lose their grip on a pistol when drawing it quickly in a tight skirmish situation.
