    Recommended groin protection?

    I don’t I’m afraid but just go into any SportsDirect, or similar, or search online via Amazon, and you’ll be able to pick one up easily enough.

    Recommended groin protection?

    Can’t say it’s really ever bothered me. I’d much rather wear a box than the ex-military pelvic protector some are suggesting, I wore one regularly - like wearing inflexible, thick nappy pants, chafed everywhere. Better than losing your Frank & Beans to an IED though I suppose.

    Recommended groin protection?

    Cricket box, simple and cheap. Been glad of mine on a number of occasions.

    Dragon Supplies Field Trousers (New Crye knock off?)

    There’s subtle differences between what the RM and Rangers get (NSPA G4 don’t have the “Crye Precision” tape labels on the pockets) and the G4s issued elsewhere though, so there’s a difference in value.

    British Forces weapons

    Stock really, nothing fancy - iron sights, a few had the torch mount handguard. In my second career, they were used with shorty mags and, I think, EoTech 512 before we converted to the 416A5, although they were removed from inventory before I joined the team.

    British Forces weapons

    Used them in COP too, same timeframe. Great in vehicles - much easier to manipulate and work around than a bullpup.

    It’s not a perfect fit, little bit of wobble, but absolutely acceptable for airsoft, or operations…

    THE TM MWS thread

    Hello MWS enthusiasts, new owner here for first foray into gas. Got myself an M4A1 on a good secondhand deal for a setup I’m going for but, unsurprisingly, already going down the rabbit hole… I’d like to have the option of a 10.5” barrel for a CQBR build as well, seen various photos when...

    AR15/M4 Photo Thread

    The fairly vanilla AR collection - 1. newly added secondhand TM MWS M4A1 for a Lone Survivor inspired set up (and my first foray into gas), not going full nerd as I don’t have the time or funds, needs a paint job and, if I can find a cheap one, an M203; 2. VFC HK416A5 in a configuration I’m...

    Ear protection and face masks

    NB Tactical Ghost or Fortis - the benefits of mesh protection, without the disadvantages of straps and buckles, I use one with Peltors no problem.

    Which P226…?

    I do. Bit like how I feel about P226 and G17… You must’ve got one of the decent ones then - from what I’ve been able to dig up, the WE model is 50/50 hit and miss.

    Which P226…?

    Absolutely, read it, but it is ultimately 8 years old and things can change. Also, there isn’t a whole lot of real detail by way of comparison - somebody who doesn’t own any of the different versions has just posted details from Google.

    Which P226…?

    I’ve always been a 226 fan, having used all three pistols the army’s issued over the last 20 years - the Browning HP was nice but a bit small, the Glock’s good but I always found it a bit boxy, the 226 was a nice chunky feeling pistol that just worked for me. So I’m looking at reliving my...

    Molle Phone case that protects the camera as well

    https://www.britishtactical.com/hl-eud-panel/   British designed and made, genuine innovation. OK, maybe a little more expensive than AliExpress, but if you don’t mind spending a bit more, definitely worth it, I use one on my work rig.
