Gear loadout pics and descriptions

I got mine thru SKD Tactical, fantastic service as usual with them.

Right now SKD is having a sale and have them in stock, plus it gives me an excuse to pick up a few other small things I've been meaning to grab.

Thanks again brother for posting that, it looks like an awesome piece of kit.

CURRAHEE!
DRINKS ALONE!

SKD rocks as well...you'll love it, solves the age old "strip mags, fight velcro, maybe get it all nailed back together straight, fight velcro again, load mags..." jackassery...

Very nice setup Hayden!

How is the draw from your holster while wearing the PC? Any snags?

**HaydenB** · 12-01-12, 21:46

Thanks for the kind words fellas!

As for drawing the pistol, I have not had any snags so far. I wear my PC pretty high and I don't use side inserts or anything, so there is not much to get hung up on during the draw.

Hey HaydenB,

May I ask your height/weight? I am new to wearing gear in general and think it would be good to keep things simple. I'm 5'6 185lbs, do you think a similar set up would be recommended?

Thanks

What about your height/weight are you trying to determine if a setup like his will work for you? I'm in the same ballpark as you as far as height/weight goes, so I may be able to help.

No problem, I'm 5'10" 160lbs. I think the Banshee is great for people like you or me who aren't built like Thor because it can be adjusted to ride high, and it has a very minimalist profile.
