    Default Help Me Choose My Airsoft Gear

    Title says it all. What I need are the following:

    Three-point sling, preferably one designed with retention in mind
    MOLLE compatible vest
    Thigh-drop holster for pistol
    Thigh-drop magazine pouches (for pistol)
    Magazine pouches to be worn on MOLLE vest or belt
    "Tactical" Belt
    Elbow pads
    Knee pads
    Hydration system (a smaller one)
    Mask/helmet (if anyone can find an Ao2 style mask or one in the style that Jason wears, RESPECT)
    Suppressor pouches (just because)
    Reflex sight (a cheapy, not one of those $400+ EO Techs)

    Galati used to send me their catalog. They make decent quality nylon gear and sell weapon accessories for a fair price. Good seeing you around again, crunker.

    Thanks, fm.

    $70-80 is a bit much to spend on a sight, I think, because the pistol I'm pretty much set on (TM USP AEP) is only like $120. I'd prefer to spend $30-40 on a sight. I know you get what you pay for and all, but airsoft guns aren't really accurate at ranges outside of 125 feet, right? I'm sure I can shoot just fine at that range, especially since I can hit targets that far away with a slingshot.

    Question, though, is there a way I can get this to fit on a drop-thigh platform? Do such things exist?

    I hope no one minds, but I'm going to post stuff that I like here so that I can keep track of it.

    Ever think about making your own stuff? I'm thinking Kydex and you could make it have the holster on the drop with as many mag pouches as you think you can add.

    The first holster has MOLLE attachment points (aka PALS webbing), so you should be able to find/rig a thigh extension for it. As for the mag pouches for the vest, check out www.specialtydefense.com. This is the company that produces MOLLE gear for the US Army, and their prices are pretty decent. You can get pouches for pistol or rifle mags that have PALS webbing.

    As for the drop mag pouch, I know they make them but cannot think of any distributor off-hand. I've owned an MP5 mag pouch and Bianchi's M12 holster system has two or four magazine pouches designed to mount to the thigh extension. I've still got my four mag pouch, along with the thumbstrap and thigh extension for my M12. Handy holster system for the money, though the add-ons can get expensive.

    K, as of now, here's my set-up.

    Echo 1 G36K
    TM USP (AEG)
    Guarder SDU vest (http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/images/V-12C-01_jpg.jpg)
    Some thigh-drop holster, I ain't picky
    Some belt, again, I ain't picky
    Hip magazine pouch (http://www.intrudershop.com.tw/show_...roduct=238#top) I know it says hip, but that's close enough to the thigh that I'm not too fussed about it. unfortunately, though, Intruder Shop doesn't seem to have much support for Americans, I can't figure out how to order from them, anyone know of a good alternative to this hip/thigh magazine pouch?
    Extra mags for the USP, probably extended
    Suppressor for the G36K, maybe, but probably not immediately
    Side rails and a longer lower rail for the G36K
    Sling, I'm still looking for a bungee/retention sling
    Sight
    Finally, a mask, and I'm really unsure of where to go with this, heh, any suggestions are appreciated.

    As for the sight dick sporting goods seems to have a decent price on a cheaper one. Helped a guy set one up on his 22 rifle a couple weeks back. Seems pretty nice for the price, i'd be a little concerned about it being fragile looking the way it sticks up.

    Just for show.

    EDIT: To my knowledge, anyway. You may get slight increases in accuracy and power, but don't quote me on that.
