AR-15 Accessories

I’m completely and absolutely new to the AR-15 model rifle, and I only own a German K98k.

I’m looking into getting once of these magnificent firearms, but I have no idea as to where to start, can you help a clueless newbie?

I’m trying to get one before the price goes up anymore that they already have, but I’m not looking to spend a ton.

thanks in advance.

That being said, I have a midlength gas system on my 6.8 AR15 accessories SPR.

Revolver Holsters

User Info IM User Email User Reply Quote Report

I shall be the oddball in saying I like my fobus foNot particularly enamored of synthetics; the Fobus worked and it was cheap, which is why I tried another one for my new gun Holster.

I much prefer leather Holsters; but, being as big a skinflint at heart as the next cop, if the plastic el cheapo worked satisfactorily, why spend large for custom leather? Of course, THIS plastic el chea revolver holsters work satisfactorily. So I spent large for custom Leather Holster… along with having to eat my words.

Back when I was working on the range every day, and Kydex was a new phenomenon, I tried a Blade-Tech for my P220. Its good stuff, but just didn’t trip my trigger, so to speak. But I am looking forward to receiving my Kramer scabbard. The many presentations necessary to "break-in" the Leather Holster will give yet more familirization with the gun. That LEM trigger takes a bit of getting used ankle holsters, but I like it.

Anyway, just thought you’d be interested to hear that I was Tactical holster on me own petard..

Magpul

Got to see Chris run his bolt action .308 with the Magpul. He was fast as lighting and hit the steel plate every time. Got to watch him unload a couple mags on the the steel plate at an very fast pace, he didn’t miss once. Guy is a great shot and very down to earth. Got to talk to him for a few minutes in between target changes.

He was pretty cool and down to earth

Safariland Holsters

Thanks for that info. I wouldn’t expect them to be of poor quality based on everything I’ve read about RC here and elsewhere. The wings are a newer option. Before it was the clips attached to the main holster which I believe is still an option. Having the safariland tactical holsters farther out might help spread the weight and get the clips out of the way and by making the wings flexible will allow for it to adjust to curvature of different body shapes better than if the wings were made of the same material as the holster itself. More good innovation from RC.

After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "Closing Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB Pocket Holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my pants. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an Safariland Holsters. It was $80 and it came in a Pistol Magazine. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.

One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon design is subpar, IMO.

Dead…. personally, I see no need to spend that kind of money nor wait that long for a holster.

There’s nothing the least bit subpar about the cowboy holsters in my use; I LOVE it. And the $25 price! And the immediate availability!

The BareAsset does exactly what I want it to do and I am "barely" aware that I’m even carrying…. which is the main complaint I have with so many holsters that feel like you’re wearing some sort of a heavily built orthopedic device or something. At $25 and immediate shipping, the BareAsset holds my gun at a nice cant, just behind my hip, securely, comfortably, and effectively. I’m a very happy camper with them!

Leave the gun in it at night for awhile before using a gun holster? When I was a kid we used to tie a mitt around a baseball and soak it in water. Have no idea if it really did anything.

I bought one galco Pocket Holster that I have had for awhile and the pistol holster still won’t come out of the holster without a God awful yankhttp://www.ar15.com/images/pixels/clear.gif

When the Western Holster first came out I thought the 360 degree adjustability feature would be worthwhile as I was spending 3 1/2 to 4 hours twice a week on a commute to work in another city and I wanted something I could adjust to work for a seated car position.

AR-15 Accessories and Parts

The best for me is what ive built for myself with known quality parts.My original Bushmasters were great but after their rebuilds owning them the last 16 years they are better.My main carbines parts are.

CMT M4 ramped upper with a CMMG socom 14.7/permanent ar15 A2 hider with M4 extension.
LMT enhanced M16 carrier with all colt internals including the bolt.Lower is Bushmaster with a CMT hammer all other parts are orignal and an RRA type 2 telestock assembly with a 9mm buffer.Carry handle is a Colt and my BUIS is a GG&G MAD2 to 600 meter arperture disc.My back up carbines the same only a Sabre defence barrel and my wifes has a Bushmaster 1/7 M4 profile with phantom all 1/7 barrels.

Bushmaster makes a great rifle and barrels are good I just prefer certain parts ar-15 Accessories MP and HP tested individually and im willing to pay for those..barrels,bolts and carriers.Get something that has a chromelined barrel 4140 or 4150 steel is not gonna matter in a semi-auto AR.

I like Colt I just hate the larger FCG parts that I wish they would just go back to standard as there reasoning going bigger was to apease the anti-gun crwod way back but like we saw in 94 no AR manufacturer skirted the ban no matter the concesion..thats my only gripe with them other wise their parts are outstanding..wish I could get their soccom barrels cheaper

Blackhawk Holsters

I have no issue with Fobus Uncle Mikes Holsters. I trusted one to carry my M9 around various FOB’s in Afghanistan, granted when I left the wire my pistol holster moved up to my body armor mounted Blackhawk Serpa.

It was plenty comfortable for walking around and sitting down and such Blackhawk Holsters (it was belt mounted) and I never worried about my weapon falling out of it.

I’ve got an older Fobus roto-paddle holster for my Glock Magazines. It’s ok for range work or screwing around at home. Never thought about using for CCW even before all the talk about being able to rip it off. It just doesn’t conceal worth a damn unless you wear a bulky coat all the time. All in all, it’s worth the 20 bucks I paid for it 5 years ago as it’s held up fine for what I bought it for.

Trijicon

At 3X30, the magnification is supreme for Trijicon Minute of Man shooting and my eyes adjust quickly using the BAC. The glass is perfect as you’d expect from Trijicon. For testing I used a different lower than pictured…one with a Geissele trigger so right off my 3 shot groups were 1.5MOA using 62gr SS109. This gun shoots 1/2 MOA easy so I just need to spend more than 1 box of ammo and practice some.

For carry or competition, the opening has the same depth as the SP model (above), but follows the contours of the gun perfectly. Click on the picture below for a larger image:

All three TechWell systems were designed to fit into the USPSA and IDPA “Box”, however, due to fluctuations in frame manufacture and sight height, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of material from the bottom front of the Techwell XT, and/or the bottom front of your extended base pad.
