on gear selection for an upcoming class with MD. This is the carbine 1 class and will be my first related to the AR platform. I have some training as related to CCW etc with my secondary. I was pretty sure I wanted to run with the Raven Concealment mag pouches and holster, but Jay and the guys are backlogged 40 plus days and weren't able to make the deadline. Not their fault I just had to cancel order since I wasn't aware at the time of ordering (man their stuff looks nice and I'm sure I will probably order from them in the future) so I'm back to square 1 with finding some decent mag pouches.
I know most here, myself included, are aware of the bladtech option. My only reservation for this is trying to avoid any injection molding. I'd prefer to stay strictly kydex. I also want something that is going to last and be pretty durable. I got some great feedback from Derek and sent an email to his connection in GA, but have not heard back from them.
I also can't decide on whether or not to run with a basic ATS vest or to run light and figure out what works for me and go with 2 mag pouches, one mag in the rifle and maybe one in my pocket.
I will be running with a double mag pouch (kydex) from Comptac for my secondary G-19. The other issue is with my holster. Currently I have a Comptac paddle, but it does not have the ability to hold my X300 on it. This is where I was getting pumped about the Raven. For anyone who has taken the class before is this really going to be that bad for the night shoot with my secondary or will having a surefire in my hand be okay? Light for primary is gtg.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this. I have already gotten some previously, but just want to make sure I have my shit in line before things get close so I'm not "that guy".
