Afternoon All,
Thought I'd share the current iteration of my CT kit. I'm fairly happy with it at the moment. I've tried to lay it out in a vaguely head to toe, and misc section. I've figured out how to format the pictures after each section. If you're here for my autism good luck, if you're here for the pictures then please enjoy my top tier photography.
RIFs
Main workhorse is my Legacy MCX. The classic collapsible stock has been replaced with a buffer tube for ease with batteries. I'm currently running a Eotech XPS3, WADSN DBAL and surefire scout, and a BCM foregrip. I've got a magnifier coming for the Eotech. I'm not necessarily planning on using it all that much, but it'll complete the vibes at least.
I've got an Umarex G19 with a TLR7 on it for more covert kit, and an Umarex G17 with a surefire X300 for my regular shooter's belt.
The Taser was made by airsoft_3d_crafts over on Instagram. It's got a working light and lasers and just brings the impression up a little bit in my eyes.
Helmet
Helmet is an unknown brand, it's a heavyweight high cut with a C2R cover on it. It's got an Agilite counterweight pouch for a battery pack for the repro mohoc camera.
Currently it's got some Earmor M32s on it, but I'm looking at replacing these with my XPIs and running a covert tube under the cups for my comms. The strobe is a WADSN repro that's purely for the vibes.
I'd like to get a pair of nods for the vibes, but I need to get a new car and I fear I may get beaten if I spend the cash on nods instead of a new car.
Plate Carrier
Vest is a Direct Action Spitfire Gen 1, it's a really nice bit of kit with a lot of modularity. I am eyeing up the gen 2, but the one I have does everything I need to do at the moment. I've replaced the cummerbund with their quick release cummerbund and SAPI side mounts.
Placard is a repro Haley Strategic D3CRM I picked up for cheap. It's got a gen insert which has a bit better retention than the repros. There's a set of trauma shears in a cheap Ali E elastic and hook & loop to keep it in place. I've previously just ran my shears shoved in hook on loop on airsoft and work kit, but having a bit of extra retention is nice. Gloves are PIG FDT Alphas on a cheap carabiner. Typically they don't stay there on a match and the location is just because it's muscle memory from where I keep my work gloves.
Dangler is a Ferro concepts dangler which I use for random bits and bobs, tools, batteries, empty mags that sort of thing.
Moving round to the right side I have a cheapie viper BFG style dump pouch repro that I use mainly for spent 40mm rounds and grenades to save time re-indexing them.
On the back I've got a Roll 1 IFAK and a warrior double 40mm pouch, nothing much interesting happening back here.
Finally, on the left side I have a 5.11 flex radio pouch for my baofeng (it's always a baofeng) and 2 cheapie stunnie pouches.
Inside the vest I'm running Mehler Vario front and back SAPI plates and Trident Gear Co side training plates.
Belt
The belt itself is a Deadly Customs Shooter's belt in grey. I was eyeing a C2R one but sadly the black/grey ones are always sold out when I'm looking.
Moving from right to left on the belt, I've got a Soileater BMTQ holder that keeps a CAT and sharpie in and is surprisingly unobtrusive. Then I've got a safariland 6004 holster that I moved from the drop leg onto a mid ride because I'm not a fan of how low drop legs sit and how much they shift when I'm running about. At the roughly 6'o'clock I've got a coyote mini burrito IFAK with another CAT on the bottom. Then there's the safariland clip for my 5.11 flex gas mask pouch. I swapped the 5.11 clips because the webbing on them is tiny and grim. The gas mask pouch comes on and off whenever I need it and can be swapped for anything else using safariland clips. Moving on, there's a Blackhawk! X2 taser pouch and an Esstac double glock mag holder.
The belt is a pretty decent weight and works exactly how I need it.
Uniform/Misc
The uniform for modern CTSFO kits is fairly straightforward - Crye G3s in Met™ Grey. These are pretty hard to get, but pop up on eBay in various sizes every now and then.
The bally is a Kommando Store Pattern 84 - I have an Arc'Teryx LEAF bally, but they stretch like crazy and are overall a nightmare to use.
My gas mask is an Avon FM12 which isn't technically clone correct for CT anymore, but the style is peak vibes and everyone knows that allyness saves lives.
Finally, the various patches are either bought new or have been obtained through careful trading, but the most important ones are the callsign/plod patches:
- The callsign patches were made by Invictus Morale
- The CTSFO/POLICE patches were made by Tacbelts UK
Not pictured are my boots which are Haix Black Eagle 2.0s
If you've read this long I imagine you have the same things wrong with you as I do, thanks for sticking with the rambling.
I'm open to questions about any CT kit, it's a bit of a faff to get into sometimes, especially with specific reference pictures, so I'm happy to help in any way I can.
