    Not so much thigh holster hatin', as much as improperly worn equipment hatin'

    RE: Uniforms, IIRC not everyone had BDU's when they first came out, even in the Army there were a few different choices, as late as 1986.

    But yea, they should have all gotten together and came up with one combat uniform for everyone, let the dress uniform be distinctive.

    I apologize if I offended anyone or implied that I was treated unfairly by Cabela's because I was not. At the time I had no idea there were so many different options for the AR and thanks to m4carbine.net and it's user I continue learn more and more incredibly valuable information about the rifle. Thanks guy's!

    Killjoy,

    I wore a thigh holster (Safariland 6004) as well when I was in the need and do so now occasionally. The problem isn't the holster it's the way that it is worn by a large group of people.

I admit there is a slight speed loss versus a decent hip holster, but if I'm armored up, the AR or shotgun is my primary anyways.

    Just a thought for all you thigh-holster naysayers.

    BTW, I agree, as a former Air Scout, I find the ABUs to be reprehensible!

    Why do all the different services have to wear different kinds of camo? The nice thing about BDU's is that they were fairly universal. When I was stationed in Kunsan AB, Korea, there was a small Marine aviation contingent perpetually deployed there, and at least when we all wore BDU's they could go to our BX to buy shirts or trousers if they needed to or vice-versa if we were deployed to a another service's base.

    hey now.. not all of the wingers are retarded... Just most of them. There are a few here and there that know what they are doing. It is a grand source of entertainment isn't it?

    Wouldn't this be the gunners equivalent of wearing pants that sag way down!

    I hate to say it but I saw that same rail/cover combo when I was in Iraq a couple of months ago. They were also security forces people.
