I had pretty much the same experience as Old Ranger when ordering directly from Blackhawk. (maybe a little worse percentage wise) I ordered a Hydration pack which was on sale for $45.00 or so (around christmas two years ago) and I ended up having to pay over $50.00 to UPS in charges, duties...

Just out of curiosity, have you tried firing it with a box mag? Like/Dislike?

I ...sniff..... I would like to thank Jebus.... my Mom... Milnet.ca.... CP Gear... my home-boy Batman (mad props) and the fine producers of Adobe Photoshop. Without all of whom, this dream may never of occurred. Milnet members, thanks for all the votes. Cheers, Eric

I-6, G2G, and G17, I agree with you all. The BHP was a pistol designed for a different era. I was not trying to imply that the mag-disconnect was a good feature, I am definitely not fond of it. I just wanted to point out that it is way too convenient for people to blame the pistol for ND's...

This is not knocking you G2G, but, throughout this thread, the magazine disconnect safety has been blamed a lot for causing or contributing to ND's. I would like to re-inforce that the magazine disconnect on the BHP does not magically and un-expectedly shoot off bullets. It is the operator 98%...

Just got back from the range. (Did not get to shoot as much as I would have liked, I guess them's the breaks). Carved up the holster as described, and it works pretty good with the hammer in the rear position. (C&L) Thanks all for the tips. Cheers, Eric

Back at ya D2. My idea was similar, and I just dont have the energy (or boredom) to follow through with it. Good luck to all.

Hey Everybody!  (vote for me)     Get your votes in!    (vote for me) Cheers, Eric [SIZE=8px](vote for me) [size=10pt]Hey D2, you gonna submit your little idea we talked about or what?

...Yeah..... I'm no expert, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I really hope, that if a person did this "manual de-cocking" with a round in the chamber, that they left it at half cock, and not fully forward. I'm pretty sure there is no "hammer blocking or firing pin blocking safety" on...

+1 mon ami.... I did not know what the lead time was on these holsters. I have been looking around for a holster of this nature for a while. Went to R Nicholls and sitting all by its lonesome, calling my name, was the version which I purchased, pictured on my original post. Since I'm hitting...

Good Day all My first post with a picture, I hope it works. I did a quick search, and although a thread or two eluded to the modification, nothing was very specific. For the BHP to be holstered and cocked, a mod must be made to accomodate the hammer being in the cocked position.  Can anyone be...

Was this just your unit taking care of taking care of its soldiers, or did the entire base also turn in one pair? I've heard a little about the "grind and glue job" several months ago, but last I heard, they werent at the stage of withdrawing the boots from members, but rather they were just...

Just a couple (well... several...) questions that I've always been meaning to ask a NW Tech: The CF put you up in university for four years for this trade, right? - Whats it like being "a bunch of military guys" living/learning amongst the [civillian] university populace for that amount of...

And the WWB claims another victim. Its funny how the new "non-slip" sole was created with much fanfare, and immediately installed on all new production boots (including the GPB), but they still havent implemented a program or a project to take care of the members who have the old "pre-upgrade"...

That sounds like a pretty simple solution. Would you be able to post a picture of the mod?

Hmm.. Maybe a typo? Or maybe one of those "lists" where people just switch the occupation for whatever their target audience is? Police Friends: http://www.libnot.com/2007/12/14/once-a-cop-always-a-cop/ Marine Friends: http://usmc81.blogspot.com/2007/12/civilian-friends-vs-marine-friends.html...

In all fairness, you wouldn't be ripping the liner out of the coat everyday, but in the long term, I suppose you're right. As well as the fleece, I also wore the old "M65" type jacket liner from my old combat jacket with the new raincoat during Ex MG/DR. It was excellent for warmth. Kinda...

Which one, the Army or the Air-force version? With the liner out, does it pack just as well as the stealth suit? I imagine it would still be a little bulkier... (PS: hope its not on your doc's ;),  Clothing will likely sh*t on you for the mod) Although... Maybe that should be something for...

They're really two completely different coats. As PhilB says, the issue raingear doesn't breathe quite as well. It is definitely bulkier, even more-so then its "Air Force" raingear counterpart. That being said, it is warmer then the stealth suit. (It has a thin liner). It is definitely not as...
