I was thinking the same, it's a good excuse ? but i started thinking of just not bothering with a sidearm at all now.
It's just more stuff to carry, clean, reload during breaks. It will feel weird but I'm gonna give it a go & see how I get on.
I'm a mid rise dude. The hip always felt too high & the drop leg was way to low for me. Took ages to find a mid rise holster but it was worth it when I did.
Although I have now given my sidearm away to my son for his 16th ?
Gonna miss my old 1911
Yeh I was in the same boat as you mate. I just couldn't get clear lenses to work for me but was really worried about the horror stories I kept reading on forums etc about mesh.
I looked around and on recommendation decided to pay more than normal and try Heroshark. I was glad I did, he uses...
I cant comment on what everyone else wears.
I have spent a stupid amount of money on various clear lenses and extras (From Bolle trackers to ESS V12's and a lot in between) and all of them have fogged up for me. I switched over to Heroshark's mesh types, they are second to none in terms of...
Hi mate
I'm in Leeds (close to Kirkstall Abbey).
Lived in Leeds 19 years and have done the Headingley life (its almost a right of passage).
For surplus kit check out Johnson's of Leeds. You can pick up almost anything there and they are always pretty cheap & they are just down the road...
My son started playing when he was 12. He's now 15 and has good experience of airsoft. He's always called his hits & listened to advice by experienced players and has now become a bit of a veteran at the site we go to.
He's fearless and has a good tactical awareness and has turned out to be...
I work in heavy engineering. One of the engineers managed to shatter a steel grinding disc last week, a peice hit his face & his Bolle Trackers took a huge impact from the razor sharp shards.
Apart from a bit of dirt, the Trackers took hardly any damage and looked good enough to carry on...
Yes mate, we can go on about being all military (Even when we are basically playing army in the woods) but if one strap or something isn't right, your day is always bothered by that sore bit of skin or it gets annoying because you were trying to sort your face pro & get shot.
If your not...

I came up with the design & got Heroshark to make it up for me. I hate too many straps around my head so the mask part is suspended from the goggles it gives less of a restricting feel when turning my head & also works well for sighting my primary
I always say, if you don't want to get shot there, cover it.
I wear goggles with a small mouth mesh cover to protect my teeth, then a gator over my cheeks, not so bothered about my cheeks its just camo to prevent my face being an easy target.
I have a very basic approach to my kit. I don't follow or copy anything, I just wear what works. I play woodland and often tear kit so I just buy cheap & easy to replace.
OD UBACS, DPM trousers, surplus boots, RICAS plate carrier (So I can change to any kind of pouches I want), MICH helmet...
At the site I play all hits are hits, friendly fire & gun hits are considered hits.
The line they use, if it hits between the bottom of your feet to the top of your head/helmet its considered a kill.
