Have you actually USED a drop-leg pouch in the field? It's a
pretty brilliant concept... except that when you take it out into
the field, it starts getting uncomfortable VERY fast. It's hot, it
makes running awkward and you have difficulty making quick entries
and exits into vehicles, especially into the driver's cabin.
Having said this, it's still a good concept. Just make sure that
you take the SLIMMEST possible configuration. I doubt many SAF
troopers get issued pistols, but when we trot out the P226's for
our requisite fashion shows infront of CIO etc, we also get
drop-leg holsters for the P226. That's really about the furthest Id
go. Dont try to put much more on a drop-leg platform than you would
normally stuff in your pants cargo pocket.
Of course, this is for field use. If using a drop-leg platform
makes you feel more macho, and the most you do in the field is
on-site technical stuff... than GO FOR IT!
